sinubukan ko mag open ng BDO savings account last month. nung tinanong ako kung ano source of income ang sabi ko bitcoin. hinahanapan nila ako ng transaction details tsaka kung san galing ang bitcoin ko. ayun di nalang ako nag apply. hassle masyado.

Natural talaga mahahastle ka ganun talaga kahit banko daming alam, malaki pa ang possibilidad na ma hold ang pera mo. Ignorante din kasi minsan ang mga nagwowork sa banko walang alam sa cryptocurrency. Kaya dapat doble ingat sa pag deposit ng pera questionable parin sa kanila kung ano ba talaga si bitcoin.

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

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.

At least may suporta at pinagiingat tayo ng gobyerno lalo na ang Bangko Sentral sa paggamit ng cryptocurrency. Gumawa pa sila ng guidlines para mas secure yung mga accounts natin at mga virtual currency na hawak natin. Tumutulong din sila sa pagtuligsa sa mga scammer na nagpapababa sa imahe ng bitcoins. Bilib ako sa gobyerno natin dahil sabay tayo sa teknolohiya di tulad sa ibang bansa kagaya ng Bangladesh, na itinuturing na ilegal at huhulihin ka kapag napatunayang gumagamit ka ng cryptocurrency.

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.
