And I am also a user of Abra and no problem at all especially for their KYC, I already have multiple transactions with Abra and until now they are still not asking some of my personal documents.
No KYC? Wow, you're lucky. I just tried using a bitcoin ATM yesterday (which malfunctioned, of course) and it asked me for a scan of my ID and phone number for an SMS verification.
And hey, go Philippines for the win. Based on how large the community is on bitcointalk, I'm fairly sure bitcoin is very popular there and this is yet another step toward mass adoption. We've got 7-11 stores in my country but they're not partnering with any bitcoin-related businesses (yet). I'd love to see that sort of thing happen in the US, but I have a feeling it won't.
There is so much news that encourages the use of BTC but the price isn't moving up.
I wouldn't expect it to. But with bitcoin under $9k right now, think of it as a buying opportunity that you might not see again.
