I'm glad that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ( Central Bank of the Philippines ) is now considering the use of bitcoin. And I'm sure it will be implemented soon here in our country.

It's will give a more support and contribution to bitcoin if the Philippines accepted bitcoin become one of legal currency in their country. Maybe, some state is interested in using Bitcoin become one of their country's currency.

Wow, then the Filipinos are really lucky to have such a good central bank, as the idea of bitcoin naturally opposes the central banks around the world. However, they are still considering it which comes as a surprise to me.

More countries should adopt bitcoin as a currency, as it is supposed to be a global currency. It's used globally, wherever you are.

The article says that the Central Bank will consider the regulation of virtual currencies. But regulation is very large. If you will go at this page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_bitcoin_by_country you will find to many countries which have regulated bitcoin and no one have equals. In other word there are 50 different regulations. And no one has accepted bitcoin as currency. Philipines speak about full regulation. Let see how will finish. But I am very skeptical.

I don't think the central bank of the Philippines will able to regulate the of bitcoin here in the Philippines, our own currency which is the
Philippine peso they are having hard time in regulating it because of the illegal transaction that creates fake money.
But I hope it will implemented immediately here.

They did nothing to contribute any development and they want to formally regulate, really? regulate their ass

Bitcoin will only be allowed in some countries, if these governments can have some sort of control. They have a duty towards their voters to protect them as consumers, even though they forget that role, when it comes to banks. In some sense regulation would help merchants to adopt Bitcoin quicker, because they will not accept a currency, if there are no future for that currency and they will lose money from this endeavor. ^hmmm^

Good news. But I don't really buy it. These are politicians, you know. I'm sure there's an always ulterior motive behind it. Maybe another avenue for the politicians over there to make use of BTC for money laundering, perhaps?

They are not politicians, actually. BSP Gov. Tetangco is one of the more popular central bank governors around the world, having won different awards for his good governance at BSP. If they could see that the advantages could outweigh the weaknesses, it could be a great thing for bitcoin since one of the main sources of Philippines' GDP is remittances from OFWs, which if even a portion is converted to bitcoin would already be a huge amount.

For those who do not know yet, the Philippines has http://coins.ph/ (a third-party bitcoin wallet site) where you can send bitcoins without (or very low) transaction fees.
You can also buy mobile network load, pay bills and shop online using your wallet.
Awesome right? Grin

”In the Philippines, bitcoin exchanges or estimated transactions passing through registered companies here range between USD 2-3 million per month. So it is not a small amount of transactions,” he said.

Uh, no. No chance of that happening anytime soon. Cash is still king. I could not imagine the common people in the Philippines using BTC as their primary way to spend. I've been there, so I know. Especially in areas where the reach of education is so low. And that's including the urban areas.

yeah i was thinking the same thing, bitcoin is not ready for people who lack of interest and knowledge on new technology like bitcoin, in other way the government actually can gain a lot of money by taxing and regulate the bitcoin, like BitTyro mentioned they are just trying to regulate bitcoin in their country in order to protect the costumer , not to adopt it as their official currency

While it may be true that the Philippines is now one of the major player with regards to virtual currency use, and Central Bank of the Philippines is considering to adopt the use of it, it is also reported that the Philippine government is planning to tighten the use of it.

http://themerkle.com/philippines-will-tighten-regulations-for-bitcoin-operators-and-exchanges/

IMO, they are just trying to regulate further the use of bitcoin in the country and keep track to those use it.

That's always a bad thing. Leave the internet alone! Grin

Well I'm also thinking about the money laundering and btc can be used by corrupt politicians here in our country. But no matter what the government's purpose about it. For sure many stores here are going also to consider accept bitcoins as a method of payment for more convenience. And it will become a cashless society here in the future for sure.

Yeah, I'm very glad to hear that, that's nice progress for Philippines, I hope my country want to adopt bitcoin too and make regulating for bitcoin but maybe it's become a high chance to money laundering.

This is a good news somehow, I can still see the behind plans of the people behind it because they want something that cannot be trace immediately
just like how bitcoin works.

Quote from: electronicash on June 07, 2016, 12:33:59 AM

i remember someone suggests e-peso on the lower house and never have we heard it again because somebody figured its sort of way to once again milk millions.

I think that plan is already vanish and not being review in the congress.

So that when the government is already regulating the use of bitcoin here, the corruption also can be digital and no liquidation can happen.
Digital corruption is possible but I'm looking at the good side of it when it is already implemented in our country.

They should instead work with their own blockchain technology NOT virtual currencies.

A bank contributing to BitCoin? Is that a good thing?
