    I have not been on bitcointalk much of late and I do apologize to those that I owe messages back to.  My mailbox is loaded and I just haven't had the time to dig it.  Much of the reason are personal but also, I needed a vacation like no other.  So I decided to do a little experiment down in Mexico (Cancun SORTA Mexico lol).  

    I first tried to pay my cabbie from the airport to the hotel.  I tried to pay at my hotel, at clubs, bars, resteraunts. It's honestly amazing, given the fact that the Peso isn't very strong, the lack of willingness to accept bitcoin.  

    My conclusion wasn't that they didn't like bitcoin or anything like that, it was a simple lack of education.  I believe this to still be the #1 reason why more people don't own/support bitcoin.

    Have you ever used bitcoin in Mexico? I'm not sure I've met a single person on bitcointalk from Mexico..so would love to hear from any Mexicans who read this, if any do!!


    Edit: I did give an impromptu financial "seminar" on the beach yesterday about bitcoin.  It started off explaining to a couple that I was a financial advisor and whom I worked for and then bitcoin came up.  By the end, there was about 10 people (all tourists) asking questions about bitcoin to me. Would you believe that all of them had their coins on Coinbase and many owned mostly shitcoins? smh.  ONE guy had a tangem card.  So i whipped out my wallet and showed him my Tangem card lol.  He said "okay this guy knows what's up, what was that wallet again, Trezor, how do you spell it"...  It was a fun interaction.
