Good thing Mr. President change his mind now. He will now allow online gambling like e-games, etc but the place must be far away from church and school and of course proper tax. https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/business/08/26/16/duterte-payag-na-sa-online-gambling-pero
Well, that is a good news for Filipinos. I feel more relieved now on playing gambling sites now, but even though Duterte never heard about bitcoin yet.
I think this is not good news he only allow those license site to run an online gambling games and what about those not licensed one? They will still go banned and yet players who willcaught playing will still penalize by the law,
Maybe duterte doesn't know that bitcoins are existing on thia world since he's quite old to know for this coin, its better leave it to our knowledge so bitcoins well not compromise since it was known to be an illegal money and maybe he would banned it if mr. President will notice this coin existing.
Bitcoin was in the news lately when CNN Philippines talks about WAR on DRUGS, i think his advisors had already studied it. -- http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2016/08/26/1.5-million-pesos-worth-of-party-drugs-seized.html bitcoin was mentioned in this page.
Yet I don't notice some bitcoin gambling sites operating here in the Philippines though so this might not be what they are after. We can still gamble all we want. I do bets every weekdays like my life depend to it so lets rumble.
I can see how it will lead to Bitcoin ban and prosecution of Bitcoin owners. And of course they will take all Bitcoins to sell them and keep money for themselves, while talking about saving nation from drug addicts and gamblers. Stay safe, Philippines Bitcoiners.
Hope not. There are bitcoin services in the country to which we care to use when we cash out bitcoin and if indeed they'd get into it, we may be affected.
if the government seize them to monitor us then i guess we're doomed.
The government is very serious about drugs and those who uses btc may be closely be monitored as well. Still hope not.
Well i think there's nothing can do harm with us since we are not really indulge on illegal doings online maybe they philippine government will seize those people who use bitcoin for illegal transaction and maybe it can really get little effect for bitcoin since it has been used by bad peoples for their doings(hope it will not) but as for now government are mentioning to elimante those illegal gambling casino who's operating illegal.
