There most have been more seminar going on in your country, but you never knew about it, even under developed countries hold seminars about bitcoin and the blockchain every week, sometimes everyday. Am 100% sure that bitcoin did not just come into philliphine but has always been just that it's is presently you realised that seminar is being carried out to enlighten people on the technology.
The seminar in Manila in January was far too expensive. It was basically a party for the rich.
Exactly. It was just a seminar being hyped by I don't know?
Actually this article, thread title and content is a bit misleading. It's not the government that held a seminar about cryptocurrency but it's just a bunch of people who wants to organize it for whatever reason they have. Most of the time seminars are being held to advertise something, I'm not sure, but probably this one is another way to do it, like how the networkers do it, hiding the real reason behind.
