'The new Marulas Public Market in Valenzuela City is the first-of-its-kind DigiPalengke initiative in Northern Metro Manila where an entire marketplace is equipped to accept mobile cashless payments.'

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.
I do not think that the transition to non-cash forms of payment will be supported by all members of society. I dont know how in the Philippines, however, in my state there is an inscription on banknotes that a bill is obligatory to be received and paid throughout the state and by all enterprises, institutions and organizations, regardless of the form of ownership. Therefore, if someone does not accept national paper money, anyone can go to court and will be forced to accept government cash. And it is right. Not everyone can or wants to use non-cash forms of payment and that is his right.
Cash national paper money of the states will exist as long as the states exist.
