Yup, but seeing that most politicians are only in it for the money, sometimes paying taxes is kinda lazy to do since ir ends up only in their pockets. Bitcoin could probably help OFWs to send money without paying much for money transfer services, although it will hurt our GNP so hard if in case all OFWs will use bitcoin for remittances as it will not account for our country's GNP. We're not yet ready for that in a wide scale remittances using bitcoins.
Aren't we and our country already suffering with our country's corruptes government ? Just joking (jokes are half meant though)
Anyways you've got a good point, I guess we are not yet ready for bitcoin being widely used as a remittance. I think politicians here will love bitcoin if it will be tax'ed
I got your point both and Im sick too of that. Our taxes are going to nowhere. My tax per month is around
BTC0.1 (as of the currenct exchange of BTC to USD). But hey open our eyes. Not all politicians are corrupt and somehow there are still progress and development I see in our country although not that noticeable. Yes we are mad with our corrupt politicians and we want to get rid of them but if Bitcoin will not be taxed thru remittances, we in middle class up to low class will suffer. This will be the end of Peso and we don't want that to happen because it will take our country to much devastation if all things will cost much. Even we bitcoiners will suffer, electricity , internet bills , transportation etc. Think out of the box. I don't want to see our jeepney fare @ Php20 for first 4Kms. Even owning a car won't help because of high cost of petroleum.
Yes still there are more hole to cover. I have a relatives in other country and Bitcoin will truly help us to save taxes but I don't like to gain benefits by only me. We are Pinoys. We must help each other. Those corrupt politicians are our enemies and we don't want to include those small earner here to suffer the fate if Bitcoin will just freely send and receive without counting it to our country's remittance. Hope you got my point.
