Buy foods and drinks in the fastfoods in the philippines.
Lastly, increasing and growing numbers of people using bitcoin in the philippines.

This is how our country adopting a new technology, How's yours? Please share with us.

I think crypto is a chance to people from Philipines to get out of poverty. Though to start any business with crypto will also cost money and investments that many citizens can't afford in Philipines. Looks like in this case it will be more the opportunity for the rich people, and poor people will stay the same poor. Hope it will still make some positive impact on people that are on the streets.

Yes sir you have a point but bitcoin is for everyone. We can eliminate that through.
1) Helping them to get a job and the salary will be in the form of cryptocurrency.
2)Sharing of information and knowledge specially to the poor people.

It's a long way to go before we can get through it. But i think it will be beneficial to poor people that they have their own business, all they can do is to nurture it aside from that it will also promote bitcoin usage.
