The story behind why PAL is accepting bitcoin. "The Philippines is famously trying to attract more tourists through the Its more fun in the Philippines campaign, which is sponsored by the Department of Tourism. Sam Kaddoura, the co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin exchange BuyBitcoin.ph, thinks the country would be well-served by bringing Bitcoin enthusiasts into the country.
To do so, the Philippines would ideally have entire communities or business districts where Bitcoin is readily accepted, but Kaddoura thinks we first need to address inbound international travel. If we really want bring in Bitcoin-spending tourists, why not equip one (or two) of the major domestic airlines to accept Bitcoin? he suggests."
So kung tama yung pagkaka-intindi ko dun sa OP, bale binabalak pa lang nilang gawin yung pag-accept ng PAL sa BTC as mode of payment? Sana naman eh gawin na nilang reality ito at hindi lang basta idea lang. Masyado na talaga tayong huli kumpara sa mga kalapit nating bansa dito sa ASIA kung saan ginagamit na talaga nila ng lubusan yung BTC sa pagbili ng iba't ibang bagay sa kani-kanilang komunidad. Magiging malaking bagay ito para satin lalo na't nagbabalak kami ng asawa ko na magtravel this year at sa susunod pang mga months.
Nakikita ko na to sa facebook siguro existing na kasi nasa lists na ng PAL ang coins.ph kaya nagaaccept na sila nito for sure, good thing nga to dahil kahit papaano sumisikat na ang cryptocurrency sa mundo natin, masayang pakinggan na angbitcoin ay tinatangkilik na ng bansa natin. sana lang ay maiwasan na ang paggamit nito sa mga scam para manumbalik ang tiwala ng ibang mga tao.
