So we are dealing with a situation where mass adoption could take place and the expected crowd is around a 100million which is a lot. The only issue here is limited resources. A great growth hurdle can be achieved when work on resource accomplishment is processed. Issues like lack of internet could cause a great discomfort.

The expected crowd isn't around 100 million since a big portion of the population does not have access to internet/gadgets to use Bitcoin.
It's great since the remittance market in the country is really big, and so the use of Bitcoin could be pretty beneficial to many workers in
the Philippines or Overseas Filipino Workers

well the philiphines is on the best way to adopt bitcoin soo it will be accepted soon i hope in several places soo it can become a tourist tour with bitcoins payments

I am excited with it, less effort ,less credit card or atm. And you don't need to wen into atm machine to withdraw your money, you should only need is internet access, and many of public places here in philippines have a free internet that enough to send coins to the particular address.

and don't forget less dumping, which mean more value for bitcoin, because if everyone will use it directly, they need to buy it first, and the only thing thqat is holding back bitcoin from rising is the dumping, but if you remove that issue, bitcoin is free to fly

to do this you need one single country that will accept bitcoin to a good level and you're done, Philippines could be one of those country

There are many merchants here that accepting BTC as payment but if you mean stores that accepting bitcoin as a live payment , as far as my knowledge is concern , there is no live store here that take live btc as payment . All are done with the website that offers btc services like coins.ph.

Yes you can used coins.ph to exchange your bitcoin into peso and no stores are accepting bitcoin, but more on company, because filipino are believing in peso even if the money in the circulation are short.

Thank's for your information

Im registered coins.ph in last month, but i need bank account to withdraw in peso Grin

any simple ATM in philipine ? where i can convert my bitcoin to Peso ? Undecided

You don't need any bank account in oder to convert your bitcoin in Peso in coins.ph because there are many options to cashout your btc to peso without the use of it in coins.ph.

One of the best option is the Cardless ATM Instant Payout (24/7) EgiveCash option in cashout (sell) . All you need to do is to find a Security Bank ATM machine and you can withdraw instantly your money without the use of ATM Card and its totally free. There are many Security Bank ATM machines here in PH especially in Metro Manila.

Just read the full instructions @ coins.ph.

No sari sari store has wifi available. None. They won't bother because that means extra expenses. People don't stick around the store anyways. They buy their stuff and go.

The sari sari store probably sells cell phone load... The operator can have internet access, and use an app on their smart phone, to accept bitcoin. I don't really see that happening.

Agree. They won't prioritize that system. For grocery stores or department stores it's possbile but for sari sari ? 100% negative.

Because if we used our common sense, bitcoin is only for a big money, and not just only for a small money like 100 pesos and below. 101 percent not applicable for sari sari store.

I have found a sari sari with WiFi. Fortunately this store is only about 50m from where I live. Their WiFi is not (yet) for public use. They only use it for household members.

Next step is to find the most tech savvy in their family and determine if they are interested in playing around with bitcoin.

Just a wild thought - OFW sends bitcoin direct to his/her family. A family member goes to the local sari sari and converts the bitcoin to cash at the current exchange sell rate, for say PHP10 + a 1% commission.

Hahaha its not a big problem they can went or buy into a shopping online site and then they can bought want they want, and if you are thinking they just want to buy into a sari sari store they just want to buy some foods so that they not going to a market and pay a fare from jeepney or taxi, they can use fiat money because they just only bought a food with only low price.

This is good news for Philippines People, when Bitcoin transactions get more prevailed into the middle east, that would be hassle free for Filipinos, since Saudi Arabia is currently the largest hirer of Overseas Filipino Workers, and has the largest Filipino population in the Middle East, and are the second-largest source of remittances to the Philippines.
