«Bitcoin will be the shelter in Latin America»

During her participation in the Latin 2025 Crypto of Medellín, the lawyer, investor and educator of Colombia on cryptocurrencies Karina Romero Bloom spoke with cryptootics about the present and future of Bitcoin (BTC) in the region.

Given the political and economic instability that Latin American countries are going through, he said with conviction: «For me, Bitcoin will be the shelter in Latin America.»

The specialist stressed that the creation of Satoshi acquires special relevance in contexts where government changes and their economic decisions can directly impact citizens’ savings.

«Bitcoin helps us to protect ourselves from which government is the following, what decisions are going to make,» he said, convinced that The usability of BTC in the region will depend on the speed with which people manage to understand it and adopt it.

Bitcoin’s decreasing issuance, along with its maximum fixed amount of coins that will be undermined, favors its appreciation in the face of demand, which contrasts with Fíat money, whose impression has no limit and depends on the government on duty. In addition, factors such as digital currency can be transferred and saved without intermediaries make it considered an alternative against the traditional monetary and banking system.

Karina, who participated in Latin Fest as a moderator in a panel on Bitcoin, adoption and usability, said that, Although there is some suspicion towards BTC institutional purchases, it has contributed to more people to know and trust the currency.

In his opinion, the institutional facet opens the door so that retail investors raise their level of training and can make decisions with greater criteria. «We have to recognize those advances … It seems important to me that we form a criterion as investors,» he said.

«Sometimes many satanize the institutional institutionality or adoption of Bitcoin. But, it seems to me that it has been the tool that has also shown the Bitcoin theme in its essence. And he has also led people to lose their fear, simply not think things like: I don’t get there because I do not know, because they can cheat me, because I will lose my money … that has helped us.

As for the price of Bitcoin, which reached this month a historical maximum of $ 123,000, it could not have found a roof in this cycle, according to the educator. Estimated that In the last quarter of the year the USD 130,000 could reachalthough he warned that it is not correct to wait to succeed in the maximum.

«None hit the maximum price … If you do not have a good management, you can suddenly make wrong decisions, then waiting for the 300,000, the 500,000, the million dollars …», culminated indicating that this strategy can only lead to the smallest investors are trapped and lose other investment opportunities.
