I bet you could make 1000x as much by learning computer programming... I have worked for companies that hired Filipino programmers... I had a friend who moved to the Philippines for a few years and made $35/hour (US dollars) building websites while living in Cebu

I'm willing to bet you don't make $35/hour begging for bitcoin

Wow that is great. I am also a web developer, tho the tough question here is that is your friend gaining bitcoin while doing some programming stuffs? What language is he currently using.

Sadly not all filipinos who are in this community does know how to do programming or do have the capability to learn programming as it is not for all.

Programming flew over my head LOL. I guess most people earning money here don't intend to do it for life, maybe just to get enough for savings.

Like you already said, not everyone is tech-savvy and that's the same everywhere. Hopefully all our kababayans are spending whatever money they get here wisely. Something like BTC0.060 is already large enough for a small business in lower income neighborhoods.

@Moloch your friend is definitely living the life. Things are cheap here for expats, so long as he have $ coming, it's all good. Just don't expect the internet to be great, it's one of the crappiest, among Asian countries just a tad faster than Afghanistan.
