Watching the news as an American, you know the awful side of Mexico.
Just recently 4 Americans had decide to go to Mexico for a medical treatment, and two were killed as soon as they crossed the border.
The cartel responsible for the attack actually apologized and handed over the men who pulled the trigger.
Not really something normal for a big cartel to do, seeing that they are actually responsible for multiple deaths of rival gang members.
So why was this different?
Because all eyes are on the Mexican/American border, and the sweeping reforms going on in El Salvador, as well as the reforms by AMLO, (Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador) the Mexican president.
See, the Mexican cartels aren't blind and ignorant when it comes to what's going on in the world.
They know full well what is happening in El Salvador, and understand that AMLO, the reformer, is able to do the same thing.
So, with that threat always looming over their heads, it's time they decided to switch tactics.
But it begs the question...
Can a person, non Mexican, REALLY build a future in Mexico?
I believe the answer is yes.
I see that this country, like many 3rd world countries, are actually more open to innovation.
I call Mexico "3rd world" but in reality it is a very wealthy country...it's just politicians who misuse the money that make the people poor. It has tons of natural resources, and foreigners visiting the amazing resorts yearly.
Yes, Mexico will be rolling out their CBDC in 2025, but we have to remember that there are STILL a huge number of Mexicans who remain unbanked.
They mostly depend on themselves and whatever product they create and/or sell.
And with this, most of the poor, (in reality there are obviously many poor here, but not as many as the propaganda dolled out by the USA government suggests) actually have more freedom than those who have a bank account.
These are the ones we should be watching closely to "mimic" their way of life.
I bake 4 types of sweet bread, and sell them. I don't have a bank, but what I will do, if I'm still here in 2025, is get a debit card that can accept crypto.
I will have to research how to trade CBDCs into crypto, or sell the bread online and accept only crypto payments. But since very few people use crypto, I might have to search for these people, and the companies out that do.
I do have friends here, and a few use crypto, but rarely and only to trade it for fiat in Mexico City.
This baking idea I have is for the future, when I have $500 USD equivalent to purchase all of the baking items I need.
But still, finding people and companies who use crypto here isn't hard, and soon, I will be getting in contact with many of them to talk about doing what we can to see this as a reality.
The way I see it, building an empire based on crypto may be a bit difficult at first, but by 2025, I believe many will be onboard with the giant opportunity in front of us.
