Mexican Billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego endorsed the use of Bitcoin. He said his bank Banco Azteca is working on ways to accept Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency.
In a tweet responding to Michael Saylor, the founder of Microstrategy Inc, and a fellow bitcoin enthusiast, the Mexican billionaire said, “Sure, I recommend the use of bitcoin me and my bank is working to be the first bank in Mexico to accept #Bitcoin.”
