Philippines countries began to adopt cryptocurrency and in the African part of Africa have also begun to adopt cryptocurrency but what is needed to be able to increase prices is not only adopting but developing cryptocurrency technology in order to be more useful.
Actually the country of the philippines is not a strict country when compare to other asian countries , thats why the government is open to new ideas or technology and one example is the adoption of cryptos .
Now there are now merchants that accepts crypto payments and there were now also bitcoin atm's on some popular spots .
Since you also mentioned africa , what i know is that africa is a poor country and cryptocurrency wont really become a hit if ever their government will accept it .
Yes sir! There are also small merchants in BGC starting to accept bitcoin and you can now buy some goods like in Salcedo, Makati which already started.
In Bitcoin ATM i think the recent news was they are upgrading it into a two way bitcoin ATM with you can convert btc to fiat and fiat to bitcoin something like that. I lost the link of the news. I will try to research it again so that i can share it here.
