This is quite interesting since even a public market where most of the time common folk buy their everyday needs is accepting digital payments. While this is not entirely related to cryptocurrency, it's as if the people are slowly seeing the convenience and security cashless payments offer to their everyday lives. For years, scan-to-pay stores are just confined within the walls of malls and luxurious places but it seems that we're slowly bringing it to the masses and eventually, it will be the norm to pay only with our smartphones and pre-loaded accounts--and in the future, possibly even cryptocurrencies.
Its very interesting because many people are buying goods for everyday living and hopefully the salary are converted to bitcoin so that all people in that area will using the cryptocurrency.
This is the third news where another area in the phils are into bitcoin. hopefully thr whole manila will adopt this to see what is the benefit of using bitcoin.
