Agustin Carstens, head of the National Bank of Mexico, said about bitcoin. Karstens said that bitcoin is more of a commodity than a currency, and added that he does not have anything to ensure his accounting in the financial system. According to him, since bitcoin is not supported by either the government or the Bank of Mexico, it does not fall under the existing currency definitions. In addition, he warned about the problem of cybersecurity and stressed that the safety of users should be ensured. Finally, he noted that the authorities will soon propose legislation regulating financial technologies, such as crypto-currencies. Smiley

That guy is not the head of Mexico. I do not know how to spell the head of Mexico's name, but I can guarantee you it is not that guy.

you are right, he is not the head of Mexico, he is the head of the National Bank of Mexico

this is good news though.
while not banning bitcoin we may see a move by Mexico similar to Japan and Australia
