Topic: Central of the Philippines Recognizes Bitcoin - page 18. (Read 8965 times)
Bank of central Philippines recognition of bitcoin is good news to crypto currencies communities. Bitcoin provides inclusion in our financial system something the convention bank could not do. Even as bitcoin is over price I think now is still the best time to buy and hold it.
Regulation is only welcome when it is not harsh to the point of being unbearable, a good example is New York's BitLicense.
3 days ago we learned thatJapan will introduce their own version of Bitcoin legislation, far worse that BitLicense.
At this point it is certain that it will cause more harm than good. Let's hope that Philippine's version of bitcoin regulation won't be that cruel.
I agree with you, since bit license in Japan is very expensive its almost the same as you are being taxed.This is the way the government can regulate and have an inmone on bitcoin but I hope it should be moderate so as not to harm the bitcoin enthusiast and supporters like us.
That's really great to see that a Central bank of a country is recognizing the potential of bitcoin and moreover blockchain technology to include in to the financial transactions. It surely will have positive impact on bitcoin price and it has already started I guess. Also the Central bank of Nigeria is doing the same as OP mentioned.
However, it also has a darker side, while bitcoin is meant to be the currency of the mass, countries taking interest in bitcoin may or may not have adverse effect on the bitcoin users of that country. If the central bank tries to regularize the bitcoin transaction and start taxing it, it won't be good. Lets just hope the central bank only takes interest in the blockchain technology and not on bitcoin users.

Countries might even recognize bitcoin as currencie or asset but the thing is they have just one interest doing such that is the tax they will collect that they cant and arent able to get now. Soo they will be able to trace all our steps again.
Your right dude.They recognising Bitcoin because they want to take advantage and get some benefit to it.
But this is good to our country and especially to ours.
I'm from Philippines , I see the news that central bank of the Philippines Promote bitcoin as a payment. And this news published in news paper so many Filipino here are read that article so if many Filipino know about bitcoin they have posibilities those peoples invest in bitcoin. And that's good news for us because the price of bitcoin will increase for sure. And I'm happy because central bank of Nigeria would also accept bitcoin. Who country next? More country for sure will accept bitcoin . bitcoin price is continue rising and no one can stop the good news!
Im Filipino also. But what i see in our country, only few people here in our country knows and appreciate bitcoin and only few companies or markets are accepting bitcoin. So this is a good news for all of us who use bitcoin. Hope this will intensifies the progress of bitcoin in our country so we all could benefit from it.
True, few Filipino only knows about in bitcoin. And the saddest things bitcoin became bad image in most citizens in your country, like what happen to bitclub, onecoin, and the latest was TBC those coins are more on hyped and all of them are ponzi or hyip scheme and too bad for the people became a victim by them. And this central of the Phil. want to accept bitcoin legally for them to implement the centralization but that's not good for the bitcoin fanatic actually, though their intention and concern is their so fellow filipino's
I am a proud Filipino citizen and I am glad that we are really adopting this crypto currency ,
And we are supporting it hope that we could use our bitcoin to buy in some supermarkets .

Good to know that your country is starting to adopt bitcoin now. And since it was started to publicize by the bank for sure it will be going be open to some other store out there to try the service given by bitcoin. And so we are hoping that too that someday other country will accept bitcoin as your country does.
Many countries are looking into bitcoin and governments has an intention whether to accept them or not, but this one gives boost to the government who wants to accept bitcoin as their payment method. Soon other countries will start accepting bitcoin as their payment method.
Countries might even recognize bitcoin as currencie or asset but the thing is they have just one interest doing such that is the tax they will collect that they cant and arent able to get now. Soo they will be able to trace all our steps again.
Good to see that there is bank that accept and see the potential of bitcoin in the market. Is this the first bank that accept bitcoin or there were some already that recognize bitcoin in their bank of their country?

Exchange like coins.ph have issues too on where you get your Bitcoin. If they found out or traced that you get your Bitcoin the illegal way, or in a shady way, they will freeze your account. Or if you have a numerous shady transaction. There is some inquiry in Coins.ph thread in Philippine Local Board about his relative's account being freezed. Same way how the BSP wanted to implement a more strict compliance by Exchanges like Coins.ph, Rebit.ph etc. on AML/KYC. They even implement a submission of yearly report of theses exchanges.
It's not strange for me. There are and other exchanges too, like as Coinbase which follows the same policy that is tracking how their users spend their bitcoins not only for illegal activities but to gambling sites too.
Well, this is a very good start for a bright future, imagine if small countries like Philippines will also acknowledge bitcoins in their country, it will have a great effect for the bitcoin economy as a whole. With the acknowledgement of the government, people will be aware that it is a legitimate payment processor and their funds will not be compromise.
Actually it is not really being endorsed by the government or whatsoever, but they set guidelines on using it and banko central ng Pilipinas made a memorandum about it....
Though it didn't really mean that bitcoin was in the media limelight right now in the Philippines, it still means a lot to bitcoin users here... It means, we feel a little safe in holding a bitcoin as the local exchanges needs to comply with the banko central for their users protection...

This is really interesting, we are now moving forward to our continuing development of the economy. So I am excited to have our own Bitcoin ATM here in our country. This is a great news ahead of us especially to those who are already involved in BTC and also for those who are still curious, I hope they can now understand and accepts bitcoin as a currency.
We already have our own Bitcoin ATM somewhere in Makati. It was available since last two years as far as I know. I don't know if it is still functional since I have not even went where it is to see it for myself. And in my opinion there is nothing to get excited about this news. This only means that the exchanges will function like a bank where they need our identities and proof of identities to be able to make a transaction especially converting Bitcoin to local fiat. And worst, the possibility of imposing tax to all exchange transaction is inevitable.
This is just to trying to legalize bitcoin, but they does wanna to know who is dealing at crypto world, but im pretty sure some of us able to make a good money at crypto dont wanna money frozen at the banks because they wont accept the dark marketplaces were we did used to get those coins, knowing that those are the exchanges that already pay fees to their respective countries.

This kind of news is great because this is one of the proof that bitcoin is getting stronger and bigger and now there is a possibility for the philippines to fully adopt bitcoin as their another kind of payment or maybe currency. I hope this kind of news will be keep on coming because this news or updates can surely help the bitcoin to be stable and it can also makes the price high and make it strong.

This is sounds great news to Filipino citizens, Bitcoin will be supported by the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas after announcing this update news. It will surely that some of the investors who became negative about in bitcoin before their negative thought will turn into positive way now. Even the people don't have enough knowledge in it will also become curious more about in bitcoin.
