The mexican politicians show mistakes when it comes to give prominence to representatives of the cryptocurrencies or its associated technology. Public officials, in conjunction with the organizers of the roundtable discussions, it seems that they stop doing their research to determine who should be given an opportunity to talk about the industry behind the criptoeconomía.A recent case in Mexico called attention. The past July 26, the Senate of the Republic served as the backdrop for the roundtable discussion “A technological vision for the future of democracy”. One of the invited panelists was Renato Rodriguez, CEO of Airbit Club, who was presented to the audience as a leader of this organization and consultant in criptoeconomía.It is a public fact and well known that, both the company directed by Rodriguez himself, have been accused of being involved in scams, based on schemas, multi-level, that fog up the true meaning of Bitcoin, for example, and of the cryptocurrencies in general.Since three years ago, users and various institutions have issued alerts about Rodriguez and Airbit Club. Even the Securities and exchange Commission of the united States (SEC) announced, in march 2017, that Renato Rodriguez operated a business called Vizinova that allegedly used investors ‘ money for personal expenses that included luxury cars and homes. The leader of Airbit Club, in conjunction with one of its partners, agreed to pay $ 1.4 million in refunds over $ 160,000 in fines.More recently, the Commission Nacional del Mercado de valores of Spain (CNMV) issued, in January of this year, a warning against Airbit Club, pointing out that it was not in their records and therefore is not authorized to provide investment services.A simple exercise for a user to determine what is the reputation of Airbit Club on the Internet is googling the name of the company. The search engine will throw corporate information of the company, but also indexes dozens of articles and videos that question the operations of this organization.Give fore and Renato Rodriguez in the mexican Senate to talk about criptoeconomía demonstrates ignorance about what truly has contributed to the ecosystem of the cryptocurrencies, beyond questioning, doubts and questions about its form of action relying on this technology disruptive.
Craig Wright in Bogota
As background to what happened in Mexico is the case of the political Council of Bogotá, in Colombia, who were awarded a certification to the employer australian Craig Wright as the real Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of bitcoin. Wright has secured during the last few years is the person behind the pseudonym of the person or persons who devised the first criptomoneda of the market.Despite this affirmation and the recognition in Bogotá, the community bitcoiner has denied Wright, who is well known within the ecosystem as “faketoshi”. In fact, some people suggested to the representatives of the council’s advice prior to issuing documents of this type.What happened in Mexico and Colombia shows that there is still ignorance on a global scale about who are the main actors that drive the development of the technology of the cryptocurrencies and its adoption. It also suggests that there are those who, taking advantage of the interest that Bitcoin, try to fool people who come in good faith to learn how to use it.The most healthy, both for politicians as for the new fans, is to investigate for its own account, documented and know how is the dynamics of the companies and their representatives not to open spaces to those who before you pay the field of the cryptocurrencies make it less fertile.Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this article belong to the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Breaking News.
