Tighter regulations has always been inevitable in my opinion, it's just that mas mauuna lang talaga sa mga bansa gaya ng US. Anyway, hindi na ako magtataka kung maglolock narin ng accounts ang Coins.ph kung tingin nilang may pinagdaanang kahina-hinala ang Coins mo or kung coinjoined ang coins mo, gaya ng ginagawa ng iilang malalaking exchange.

In summary, wag mag iiwan ng funds sa exchanges pag hindi balak magbenta.

Hindi rin malabo na maging strict lalo ang coins.ph sa mga verified and unverified users dahil narin sa mga nangyayaring ganto. Baka nga ay gawin na nilang requirements ang maging verified para maka gamit ng mga features ng coins.ph.

She also made mention of "private remittances... financing terrorism" in Marawi. Damay pa rito yung mga katulad ng Palawan at Cebuana.

This is out of hand, whatever people might think about cryptocurrencies, it is anonymous and whoever didn't want that could create and spark wild speculations. PIPVTR's allegations are useless, they just basically said COVID, named few terrorist groups, describe how a normal exchange operate (they didn't name coins.ph as the local exchange but they wanna), lastly, they mention about marawi siege and government which has nothing to do with this, tsaka mayroon naman tayong AMLA.

I have to agree. There is no single fact being presented by the analyst which actually links crypto with terrorist funding. The article appears hollow. She simply jumps from one statement to another without a single solid information backing it up. I am not even sure if there is in fact a meticulous gathering of data prior to this. Despite that, this was still published even in Eurasia Review.

Still kung gusto niyo magka-roon ng reliable source mag-hihintay nalang ako ng mga research o findings na nang-gagaling sa SEC o Bangko Sentral natin dahil sila talaga ang in charge pag-dating sa pag-bibigay opinyon sa mga mambabatas natin.

I strongly agree. Based nga rin sa ginawang pahayag ng PIPVTR, you could notice na they have shallow knowledge about cryptocurrencies and what they posted is just a rumour without cited sources to strengthen their allegations. [/quote]

In terms of cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin, I don't think SEC and BSP are reliable, much less experts. Neither am I expecting them to be really objective. Kaya medyo mahirap kapag ang gumagawa ng batas eh yung mga nasa posisyon lang sa gobyerno. This has happened in other countries also. And the entire population as well as the reputation of crypto are affected.

Kaya nga yung fintech bill sa senado hindi umuusad kasi aminado sila, kasama na yung chair ng komite mismo na si Sen. Poe, na wala silang alam tungkol dyan. At malamang sa malamang nauna na nilang narinig ang Bitcoin na nagagamit sa scams rather than a decentralized currency using a peer-to-peer network. At dagdag pa itong mga ganitong articles na inassociate na naman si crypto sa mga ilegal na gawain bago man lang naintindihan yung pinaka-essence nya.
