  • Long-term growth potential. Bitcoin is like a promising company at an early stage of development. Despite the volatility and risks, digital gold has shown impressive growth since its inception, outperforming many other investment options. This is an opportunity to become part of a new technology that can reimagine the global financial system.
  • Availability and liquidity. Unlike traditional investment options such as real estate and funds, Bitcoin can be bought and sold for any amount almost instantly through online platforms. This provides flexibility and accessibility to your funds, but also impulsive reactions to market fluctuations.
  • Diversification of the investment portfolio. It is important not to put “all your eggs in one basket.” Cryptocurrency often does not follow stock market trends, making it a potentially good way to mitigate risk.
  • Protection from government absurdities: inflation and currency devaluation. Bitcoin is a good alternative with a limited supply of 21 million BTC, which contrasts with fiat, which authorities can print endlessly, gradually reducing its value.
  • “However, like any investment, Bitcoin has its risks. In the short term, its value may be extremely volatile. Since it is a relatively new asset, it faces regulatory and market uncertainties. The safety of your crypto investments depends on the precautions you take,” he wrote.

    According to Salinas Pliego, investing in the first cryptocurrency can be “an exciting and potentially lucrative way to start building a diversified portfolio.”

    “But it’s important to do this carefully and as part of a balanced financial strategy, taking into account both your long-term goals and your risk tolerance. Never invest the funds you need to live,” he added.

    In another publication, the billionaire noted that in investing it is important to be patient, not to be scared when it falls and buy, and not to be happy when it rises and sell.

    In October 2023, Salinas Pliego called the first cryptocurrency a reliable hedge against inflation, since the government cannot devalue it.

    At the time of writing, the billionaire ranks 132nd in the ranking Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a capital of $14.2 billion. In November 2020, he announced that he had invested 10% of his funds in Bitcoin.

    Let us recall that in February 2022, Salinas Pliego announced the superiority of the first cryptocurrency over fiat. In April, he revealed that 60% of his investment portfolio was in digital gold.
