The bill by Representative Miguel Luis R. Villafuerte wants the government to buy 10,000 to 2,000 BTC yearly for five years. The Bitcoins will be held for twenty years in a decentralized wallet controlled by the Central Bank and may be sold for profit-making. This is a welcome development as the news will increase Bitcoin awareness and adoption not just in the Philippines but in neighboring countries. I hope they will keep the coin longer than twenty years, considering that gold reserves have been part of the country's financial history.
