Lumabas ng bagong statement ang Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas regarding the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Quote
With the recent price surge of VCs, such as Bitcoins, the BSP has observed that an increasing number of individuals or entities may be tempted to “invest” in VC pyramid schemes disguised as initial coin offerings (ICOs) or VC investment products.  The public is therefore advised to exercise caution regarding the acquisition, possession, trading of VCs or dealing with VC-related offers.  Unlike stocks or debt issues, VCs are not backed by any company or commodity and the price is purely dependent on market demand and supply.  As such, investing in VCs presents a highly speculative and risky undertaking which might result into huge financial losses. To minimize risks, the BSP highly encourages existing and prospective VC users to deal only with BSP-registered VC exchanges and maintain only a sufficient amount of VCs enough to address transaction requirements.  VC users should properly secure their VC holdings and observe security tips below to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal information and transaction details.

Important security considerations for VC users:

  • Set-up and use a dedicated email account.  Avoid using the same email accounts or username that you have used in public platforms such as social media.
  • Keep your VC-related email account to yourself.  In any VC transaction, users need their email account and password.  Thus, it is important to secure not only your password but also your email account.
  • Set a strong password.  Use complex and hard-to-guess passwords (i.e. alphanumeric including symbols, lower and upper cases).  Avoid re-using the same password for more than one service.
  • Observe basic internet security.  Exercise caution in accessing your VC wallet especially when using wi-fi connections.  Avoid installing software, browser plugins or downloading attachments from unknown or suspicious websites and emails.  At the same time, do not leave your device unattended.
  • Subscribe to multi-factor authentication (MFA) provided by the VC wallet provider.  VC users should enable, whenever available, MFA options to their VC accounts.  Adding another layer of authentication can provide increased security to your VC account and transactions.
  • Separate your funds and use cold storage.  VC funds should be separated in two or more digital wallets for transactional purposes.  The main wallet used to store VC funds for future use should be kept offline or popularly known as cold storage wallet to minimize vulnerability to theft, hacking or fraud.

Yes, bsp is true that you can incur a grate financial loss when you're account is not secured and when you are not aware of what ICO transaction you are going in.

The Future Of Work
Akala ko naman ipinagbawal na ng BSP ang Bitcoin. Hindi naman pala. Sa katunayan pa nga Good News ito para sa ating mga Virtual Currency Users dahil concern ang BSP sa atin kapakanan. At least may ginagawa sila para matulongan tayong maging secure ang ating mga accounts. Good Job BSP! Wink Wink

Hindi naman talaga pinagbabawal ng BSP ang kahit anong cryptocurrency dito sa Pilipinas. Pabor naman din sila dito. Kaya nga maganda na pinagiingat nila ang mga crypto users kasi dumadami talaga ang mga scammer pero ayos din yung balita nila ah, pati mga ICO ginagamit na rin para sa pyramiding scheme. Kaya dapat talaga doble ingat tayo sa pag-iinvest din sa mga ICO at pagsali sa mga bounty campaign kung ayaw nating sa bandang huli, masayang lang ang pinaghirapan.
Actually, Good news narin naman talaga eto dahil concern lang talaga ang BSP sa mga bitcoin users at nagbibigay sila ng paalala upang makapag ingat narin ang bawat isa sa mga mapagsamantalang scammers.

This Fair Warning from BSP, this greatly affect the mentality of the majority of the people that is planning to enter the BTC market.

Specially on today's news on both GMA7 and Ch.2 that BTC is being use as the payment of choice for pyramiding scams.

BSP should Teach how to take advantage of the use of BTC but instead they are spreading FUD and Negative News about Bitcoin.

If they really want to protect people from Pyramiding they should start from the root, "BANKS"

due to demand na nakukuha ng bitcoin natural lang na may magbabala since madaming tao ang paniguradong gagamitin ang bitcoin to scam other people, tulad nga ng sabi ginagamit din ang bitcoin sa pyramiding, investment scheme or ponzi.
nagbabala sila na wag basta basta mag invest lalo na kung baguhan ka palang.

Ok din po na nagbigay ng babala ang bangko sentral ng pilipinas sa mga kapwa natin pinoy na gusto pasukin ang mundo ng ng bitcoin virtual currencies. Dahil marami mga manloloko na sumasabay sa kasikatan ng bitcoin para makapanloko at makakuha ng pera sa ibang pinoy na wala pang alam sa bitcoin.

Magkaiba po ang Cryptocurrency sa Virtual Currency. Ang crypto po ay anonymous but transparent and decentralized usually. Virtual are electronic fiats po. Hope these helps. Sana maliwanagan din ang BSP sa pagtagged kay BTC as VC.

Good to know open-minded ang Bangko Sentral about virtual currencies at hindi nagbibigay ng restrictions tungkol dito.

nagbibigay lang sila ng babala dahil madami kasing scammer na sumasakay sa kasikatan ni bitcoin ngayon kaya tuloy nasisira ang legalidad ni bitcoin sa mga ibang tao, kailangan natin maging mapanuri lang talaga.

Pinagiingat lang po tayo ng bangko sentral ng pilipinas sa paggamit at pagtangkilik sa mga virtual currencies. Madami na din kasi mga mapanlamang ngayon na ginagamit nila ito sa maling gawain kagaya ng money laundering, pyramid scheme pati sa financing na  mga terorista na sadyang mapanganib. At nagbigay pa gobyerno natin ng guidelines para sa mga gumagamit ng virtual currencies. Para masigurado ligtas ang kanila mga account at digital wallet.
