That's good to know about Abra but yet but MK4 said it has a "slightly worse UI and less withdrawal methods" - would you say that is not the case?
With coins.ph I can just tell people to make an account there and send me the btc wallet they create there; they figure out themselves how to convert or use what I send. Would the same be possible with Abra? Imagine your average IQ illiterate peanuts vendor in Makati ave.
It's possible but I think it's much easier with coins.ph because of the accessibility you could use their service in both the browser or the app while with Abra you're only limited to their app. I agree abra is a good competitor against coins but imo they're still lacking at some parts when compared to coins like the limited withdrawal methods (only bank and remit) but overall their service is still quite good as they're less strict with KYC they could start receiving bitcoins after registration and cash out. Your friend could probably figure it out on their own as abra have faqs and articles about converting to php, cashing out, etc.
Yes, I agree that it is much better and easier to transfer money or bitcoin using coins.ph. Many people are already using coins.ph and it is really accessible, it is already tested by many. Coins.ph is an application downloadable online at google playstore, you can immediately download the application and use it. But then you must be verified using your identification card before having withdrawal transactions. If you want to pay bills using the coins.ph you are allowed to do it and with a cash back. You can also buy load using this application and get 10% cashback. This can also send money to banks and other onlime wallets.
