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.
maybe the man just have mistakes using grammar,
what he said was MANY ONLINE SITES,but there are some
shops online accepting bitcoin for payments and even if the
site dont accept bitcoin its easy to convert it into fiat thru
Coin,ph so everything is possible for transactionaswjat the
Op asked.
