Mexican Senator Says “Adopting Bitcoin as Legal Currency Is an Opportunity for National Growth”
Mexican Senator Indira Kempis Martínez has been an advocate of Bitcoin for over a year. Earlier this month, Kempis Martínez visited El Salvador and considered the possibility of Bitcoin bein installed as a legal tender in Mexico as well.
In October 2021, the senator congratulated El Salvador on its decision to make Bitcoin a national currency, as valid as the dollar. She openly disagreed with the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who denounced the decision, declaring that it would not happen in Mexico.
