If the Mexican senate and house make a move for Bitcoin to become a legal tender there will be a rigorous study and discussion about it. Everything will be taken into account including money laundering. If Mexico has a very low money laundering cases, there is no issue. But we are talking of an estimated $25 billion dollars of money laundered yearly according to a report from the United Nations. Bitcoin is not illegal in Mexico but another move for additional regulations are being called in order to deter money laundering. Bitcoin is not anonymous but we do know there are strategies to make it anonymous.
I also crave for more countries to follow the footsteps of El Salvador but Mexico appeared not fit for it until money laundering drops bigtime.
if indeed mexico wants to be aligned with el savador as a country that makes bitcoin a legal tender. must also immediately improve the situation in the country, so that bitcoin adoption can work well, and not be used as a justification later.
Exactly what you said friend, money laundering in this country seems to have entered all institutions and there must be immediate improvement before bitcoin will be accepted as legal tender.
it is certain that they will continue to be able to improve so that when bitcoin is received it will not actually increase money laundering, which is more uncontrollable. therefore the rules must be made as well as possible in order to overcome the thing that is feared.
hopefully what will be good intentions from mexico can be realized will be the same as el savador and it is not impossible that many will follow this trend.
