Gustavo Petro, Colombia's president-elect, has endorsed bitcoin as a new technology that may decentralize authority from the government for numerous years. Before taking over the top executive position, he had even spoken openly about mining digital currencies, which may lead to significant changes in the country. Decentralisation is important to the newly elected president, who thinks that Bitcoin takes power away from banks.
