Mexico\u2019s third wealthiest billionaire according to Forbes<\/a> is a Bitcoin fan. Ricardo Salinas Pliego sure did his homework, and he\u2019s here to make you see the light. The billionaire recently announced<\/a> that he holds 10% of his portfolio in Bitcoin. Why? Salinas Pliego knows a few of the reasons that make BTC the soundest money that the world has ever seen. <\/span><\/p>\n

The subtitled video arrives via podcaster Anthony Pompliano, who says, \u201c<\/span>Incredible to see this from @RicardoBSalinas given his historic wealth and success.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Reason Bitcoin Should Be Part Of Your Portfolio<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to Michael Saylor, you have to invest at least 100 hours studying Bitcoin before you start to get it. His Mexican counterpart here, Salinas Pliego, evidently put in the time. About Bitcoin, he says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve invested a lot of time studying it, and I think that it\u2019s an asset that should be part of every investor\u2019s portfolio. It\u2019s a valuable asset, with international value, that\u2019s traded with enormous liquidity at a global level. And that\u2019s reason enough for it to be part of any portfolio. Period.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those are important reasons, but not something that can\u2019t be said about the Dollar. The US\u2019s currency holds international value and you can exchange it with ease for local money in any market. However\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does Salinas PliegoThink About Fiat Currencies?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The facts are the facts, money printing and inflation devalue the purchasing power of all the holders. There are no two ways about that. Or, as Salinas Pliego puts it:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFiat is a fraud. I started my professional career in \u201881. The Peso was at 20 x 1 (USD.) Today, we are at 20.000 x 1. That\u2019s all there\u2019s to know. And that\u2019s here in Mexico, because if we look at Venezuela, Argentina, or Zimbawe, the numbers loose all proportion. The fraud of fiat is something inherent to the fiat system, and we\u2019re watching it happen in the USA. The monetary emission went to the moon, you understand. The Dollar as hard money is a joke.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that in 1993, Mexico phased out the Peso (MXP) and introduced the Nuevo Peso (MXN, \u201cNew Peso<\/em>\u201d.) One MXN is worth one thousand MXP. So, Salinas Pliego\u2019s numbers are correct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, notice the casual mention of the \u201c<\/span>went to the moon<\/span><\/i>\u201d meme. This man clearly studies the crypto sphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Is Ethereum Not A Valid Store Of Value?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sorry, Vitalik fans. Ethereum has many qualities, but being a store of value isn\u2019t one. Salinas Pliego puts it in simple words:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBitcoin\u2019s finite supply, the 21 million, that\u2019s the key of the whole thing. That\u2019s what I was saying about Ethereum. As long as they don\u2019t have a finite supply, I don\u2019t believe them at all. For all I know, they emit more and your asset depreciates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And yes, when the <\/span>EIP 1559 proposal<\/span><\/a> comes into effect, Ethereum will burn some ETH after every transaction. Still, the daily issuance will be much higher than the daily burns. And there\u2019ll not be a hard cap.<\/span><\/p>\n
