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.
Why are you from same country have different opinion about bitcoin acceptance?
Maybe one of you just lie. But its not a problem.
In my country, bitcoin is not accepted as payment procesor so i think there is no business based on bitcoin here.
