How do you think of that?
Thats not a big news really, here in the Philippines it was implemented long ago and bitcoin industry is still booming. Theres nothing wrong providing the exchanges with your identity since that would fall into their records and it will be submitted only to the Central Bank. If the central bank is monitoring then it is much better since it will serve as a security for the users when big problems arises within the exchange.
Other countries are more flexible to bitcoin,China is strict to that,but it's a good thing,can offer a security way to invest bicoin.
Does bicoin can widely used in Philippines? Can you pay with Bitcoin?
