Ricardo Salinas, A Mexican Billionaire, Pays A Visit To El Salvador And Meets With Nayib Bukele

Ricardo Salinas, who has emerged as one of the most vocal proponents of bitcoin, traveled to El Salvador. The millionaire flew journalists Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert to the first country to accept bitcoin as legal cash on a private plane. He visited with President Bukele, CEO Changpeng Zhao of Binance, and Samson Mow, among others. Fortunately for us, Salinas captured the entire event on Twitter.

Ricardo Salinas Trapped With Max Keiser

In the report’s first video we see Salinas joking in English while Keiser shows him a copy of “The Book of Max.” Notice how a full camera crew passes them by. This trip was completely documented.

Then, Keiser reports that during the flight Ricardo Salinas “outlined dozens of ways El Salvador’s new Bitcoin securities laws (working through the assembly now) can be used to make El Salvador a global financial hub and dramatically expand El Salvador’s GDP. His facility with business and finance is incredible.” These visits of capital and ideas will ultimately benefit Salvadorans.

To Max’s praise, the billionaire responded, “I’m a natural businessman… always looking for inclusive prosperity and freedom.” But praise didn’t end there, the Presidency’s Communications Secretariat welcomed him saying. “Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas, Founder and President of Grupo Salinas, has arrived. He’s visiting El Salvador to learn about the possibilities offered by Bitcoin in a country where it is legal tender.”

To the Secretariat’s praise, the billionaire responded, “thank you very much for the kind welcome. It’s a pleasure for me to visit your country and continue learning about Bitcoin’s use as legal tender.”

El Salvador’s Reception

When the party arrives, El Salvador’s Ambassador to the United States Milena Mayorga is waiting for them. She’s had quite a week, having received Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao as well. 

President Bukele Meets Ricardo Salinas

The billionaire posted pictures of the meeting and reported. “Today, I was received at the presidential house by the President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele. I brought him “El primer mapa de Mexico” and a balero and I received from him a Bitcoin in physical form.”

Then, the President himself provided Twitter with another set of photos. Ricardo Salinas went deep in the answer, “I am sure that only with freedom we can evolve as a civilization and I am sure that Bitcoin is the currency of freedom.”
