Bitcoin transakcije so podobne barterju, «pravi guverner Bank of Mexico

The governor of the Bank of Mexico, Alejandro Díaz de León, dismissed Bitcoin’s (BTC) position as a reliable legal tender, citing price volatility as a major roadblock towards full-fledged adoption. 

Governor Díaz de León said in a Reuters intervju that Bitcoin’s position in today’s financial system resembles “a dimension of precious metals” when compared to the central bank’s fiat money.

In stark contrast to El Salvador’s mainstream Bitcoin adoption that requires businesses to accept payments in Bitcoin, Mexico’s central bank chief questioned Bitcoin’s position as a viable legal tender:

"Kdor prejme bitcoin v zameno za blago ali storitev, menimo, da je (transakcija) bolj podobna menjavi, ker ta oseba zamenja blago za dobro, v resnici pa ne denarja za dobro."

Díaz de León also highlighted the inherent risk of daily price volatility when dealing with cryptocurrencies. Coincidently, the Salvadoran government was a witness to this risk just one day after recognizing Bitcoin as a legal tender in buying its first 200 BTC worth $10.4 million ob nakupu.

Taking advantage of the situation, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele announced the purchase of more Bitcoin during the dip, resulting in a total holding of 550 BTC. According to President Bukele, this premikanje svoji upravi prihranil »milijon v tiskanem papirju«.

Guverner mehiške centralne banke je opozoril na potrebo po zanesljivosti v smislu izvrševanja plačil in vrednosti, pri čemer je dejal, da "ljudje nočejo, da bi se njihova kupna moč, njihova plača z enega dneva na dan povečala ali znižala za 10%. Ne želite te nestanovitnosti pri kupni moči. V tem smislu ni dobro varovanje vrednosti. "

The regulators have also said that no financial institutions in the country are authorized “to carry out and offer to the public operations with virtual assets,” including Bitcoin, Ether (ETH), In XRP.
