Mexican billionaire: "Stay away from fiat money ... invest in Bitcoin"

 


Mexico's third richest person sent a New Year's message to the Bitcoin community on Christmas Eve.

One of Mexico's richest men, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, posted a Christmas video advising his nearly one million Twitter followers to buy Bitcoin.

In his message, he gives three pieces of advice before asking his followers to retweet and share:

“Stay away from fiat money. Whether it's the dollar, the euro, or the yen - it's all the same. It is counterfeit money made up of paper lies. The central banks are producing more than ever before. "

The latter, as pointed out by the entrepreneur, has caught the world's attention, particularly in the United States, where banknote printing has increased since the pandemic began. The increasing spending of dollars has resulted in the greatest inflation in the United States in 39 years.

Inflation is a measure that reflects the currency's loss of purchasing power and shows its depreciation against other, stronger currencies, as is the case in Latin American countries. This situation has encouraged the buying of cryptocurrencies to preserve the value of the savings.

In December 2020, he spoke about Bitcoin in an interview with Giovanni Pigni from Cointelegraph. The interview started with Salinas telling the story of how he first heard about Bitcoin:

“I was invited to a conference in New York ... There were several sessions, and one of the sessions this guy from Grayscale showed up. And he gave us a talk about Bitcoin and how it will conquer the world…. That immediately caught my attention. "

Later in the interview, Salinas said:

“I had a big party, very happy with my best investment ever, but we always return to the scene of the crime, don't we? When the price dropped to $ 10,000 I thought, 'Well, now it's more reasonable,' and I bought something at that point. and then it went down to $ 6,000, I bought a little more, and there I am, where our average is now at $ 9,000, and I'm not done yet. I will not sell it. I think I'll sit here another five or ten years. "

Other billionaire entrepreneurs who also recommend buying Bitcoin warn that one must be careful with this. Tim Diper, for example, advises against investing all of your savings in cryptocurrency in order to have a diversified investment portfolio.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
