Mexican senator proposes bill to make Bitcoin legal tender

67M unbanked will finally have the chance.
The timing will be perfect because the price is low and its about time they have to do this after all they are using BTC and Salinas had been promoting BTC to his followers. Its time to track Cartels too. I'm guessing the government will also release own BTC wallet and KYC as well.  

Airdrop is coming to Mexicans, you think?

It would be easier if the Mexican Senate would approve the bill, but in my research the chances of getting approved is very slim. Kempis is a clear believer of El Salvador's country's leader Nayib Bukele, so she based her proposal based on what El Salvador is aiming for. However, if given chances and approved, yes this could be the best time to enter the market and invest. They could maximize earning bitcoins right now if ever the government will start to take its side.

This could be a great move for the people of Mexico as 56% of people there lack accessibility to the banks. And can be a great opportunity for increase in bitcoin adoption.

This is another pure attempt to impose tax on the Bitcoins.
But I guess the government won’t accept this bill, as they cannot control Bitcoins due to it’s decentralised nature.
So the bill will just trend for 2 to 3 days , then everything will be back to the normal.
Frankly speaking we don’t want Bitcoins to be legalised, and thank to the anonymous feature of Bitcoins for which no one can never find out how many Bitcoins I own.
What’s the thought of other people on this matter?

This is really a good mention. Prove that more and more people in the world recognize BTC.
But I think it will be difficult to achieve in Mexico, because their Finance Minister Arturo Herrera said in June that cryptocurrencies are banned in the Mexican financial system, and said that the ban is unlikely to change in the short term.

I think it is good for the bitcoin community because it solves various problems related to payments. Bitcoin is the future of the finance industry.

Mexican senator Indira Kempis proposed a bill to accept Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender in Mexico. The proposal document focuses on the fact, that over 67 million individuals in Mexico still do not have access to a bank account, which means that 56% of the country’s population still does not have this most fundamental of the financial system.

I appreciate the fact a lot that he wants to make bitcoin a legal tender in Mexico, but it seems to me that it will not be able to solve the problem that many people have no bank account. If you don't have a bank account it will be very hard to actually acquire the BTC in the first place and also with all the KYC how should you deal with that if you don't have any documents.
