Bitcoin Transactions Are “Similar to Bartering”, by Governor Díaz de León

Alejandro Díaz de León is the governor of the Bank of Mexico. He condemned Bitcoin as not a reliable legal tender, indicating price volatility as a major roadblock toward full-fledged adoption. He said Bitcoin is similar to “a dimension of precious metals” when compared to the central bank’s fiat money. The central bank chief questioned Bitcoin’s position as a viable legal tender: “Whoever receives bitcoin in exchange for a good or service, we believe that (transaction) is more akin to bartering because that person is exchanging a good for a good, but not money for a good.” The Governor pointed out the need for reliability in terms of payment executions and value. He said: “People will not want their purchasing power, their salary to go up or down by 10% from one day to another. You don’t want that volatility for purchasing power. In that sense, it is not a good safeguard of value.”
