In Philippines a lot of vendors now accept btc for their goods.
I am from Philippines but im sure this is not the case. Btc is not recognize nationwide in our country because of many reasons it is facing. We maybe from different regions but i doubt if just local btc would accept btc. We are in a country that is yet to be economize so it would be absurd to accept btc this time. The national bank acknowledged cryptocurrency but not as far as using as payment for the goods.
Same here , I'm from Philippines too. Nowadays, many filipino people still didnt know bitcoin and also the coins.ph application that serves as exchanging rate from bitcoin to peso or peso to bitcoin.
Having a bitcoin may lead a good business opportunities due to its high value. As of this time bitcoin still increasing its value as the time passes by. Though it may go down for a moment but I believed it will increased since its already proven many years. Also, it gives income to those jobless people and having a profit for there local business.
