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

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
