Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the third richest person in Mexico, has sent a new year message to his followers, urging them to steer clear of fiat currencies. He asked them to invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
In his New Year message, Salinas stated that “Steer clear of fiat money. Whether it’s the Dollar, the Euro, or the Yen –it’s all the same. It’s fake money made of paper lies. Central banks are producing more than ever. Invest in Bitcoin!”
The message doesn’t come as a surprise, as Salinas has been a long-term investor in Bitcoin. He has been a Bitcoin evangelist since 2013, describing himself as a Mexican businessman and Bitcoin holder.
