According to an interview with Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the third richest man in Mexico and chairman of Grupo Salinas, he discussed the impact of Bitcoin on the economy, especially in Latin America. He said, "Around the world, not just in Mexico or Latin America, we see an increase in inflation tax, which means that people's savings are taken away without their permission, which is very sad, especially for those who rely on this money for retirement. So Bitcoin is a way to prevent this from happening because it will not depreciate." He added, "The importance of Bitcoin lies in its resistance to taxes and many other aspects, but it is specifically applicable to economies with malignant inflation, of which there are several in Latin America."
