One of the Major Reasons why some Government sees Bitcoin as a threat to their country is because people might use it as an opportunity against some other people who wanted to earn and make a living. Just recently in the Philippines a couple was arrested because of scam, they uses a pyramid scheme and baited people to invest via electronic money. It started when Bitcoin is at its hype, giving them the chance to use it as front.

For our safety and security, please read this article and be aware. https://www.rappler.com/nation/199915-filipino-couple-amasses-millions-bitcoin-scam

Hope this could help everyone and let us be cautious. Earning money is not that easy as what other think of it. It requires patience, dedication, determination and focus to reach your goal.



This is alarming. Seems like people are being ignorant about what could possibly go wrong if they would just dive right into someone's good talks. When money is involved, whether small or large amount, people should not put their 100% trust that easy. This issue makes other people wanting to invest to be frightened that they might experience the exact same thing. This should be an eye-opener to everyone that enough knowledge will help in determining if something is legitimate or just a scam. Besides, there are guides provided by websites inclined in cryptocurrency which will help people avoid scam. Let us keep on learning everyone and be careful.

I also saw that in the news. I hate those people who taint the good repuation of bitcoin. They are using bitcoin for their own greedy needs. And as a result many of the citizens who invest became a victim of this scam. This is the reason why most of the people are afraid of taking risks with investing money because of this news and other articles. Because of what they have done they are creating a bad image of bitcoin which is wrong! Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency and I will definitely spread good news about it even if people who are a victim of scam does not be convinced or buy what I said.

Many gullible people believe beautiful this is and beautiful promises to get rich quick. Not believe! It is impossible to get rich in 3 times a week. Don't trust questionable sites. Many have already fell for the Scam so they already have a bitter experience. And learn from their own mistakes.It is better to have less but guaranteed than from greed to lose everything.

That's primarily the reason why the government sees the bitcoin as a bad thing. Some people are using it to get advantage on other people that's why they are force to stop that thing.

Rather than thinking about bitcoin as a scam or whatever which make us not open to accept new technology,  we better educate oursleve to knowing what is real about bitcoin and after that,  we will understand more and make the right decision.
Earning money is not that easy like you said and its true.

As I have seen the news about that scam, the only reason people are getting scammed is because they have no idea really how cryptoworld works. If only they know about crypto investment on your own and owning wallets, they could have doubts if anybody asks your money to invest for a certain coin.

I have read this news mate since i came also from Phillippines,it very annoying hearing this kind of news that is why most people think that bitcoin is a scam and has a bad impact to our society.Probably its not just only happening in our country but in some countries as well.I just think that they made this fraudulent act because some people can be easy to get in terms of investments if they got huge profit on it at first without even researching if it is really legit.Some scammers take advantage on the weakness of investors that is lack of knowledge.In this case we must see to it that the opportunity that we grabbed is legitimate so we must be observant inorder not to regret  in the end.

I do not think this is the main reason the government forbids bitcoin, because the bitcoin crime is not the only threat to the government, but all the crimes of any kind are a threat to the government and not a logical reason just because the crime of bitcoin fraud is a scam.

There are scams in bitcoin, and that is something that most people should be aware of because your investment might get scammed  and what you earn from some campaigns might also get scammed. Yes, bitcoin has a good market price but people are sometimes bad enough to fool other people around by scamming their money.

Scammers always move into new unregulated spaces. Once regulation and public knowledge increase, then the number of victims drops and the scammers move on to something else.

i strongly agree to this. Different places, different ways to scam, different victims the only thing they're the same is they share the same agenda (using bitcoins name as an oppurtunity to take advantage on peoples' urge to earn in an instant).

In my opinion, everyone already knows that investing in bitcoin has always been and is a rather risky activity. However, many people voluntarily go to deceive themselves from other people. when they agree to a tempting offer to quickly increase their profits. However, one should always remember that free cheese is only in a mousetrap. But fraud of this kind should not be used by the state to restrict the circulation of the crypto currency. Similar frauds have always been with all kinds of money. The Crypto currency should continue to develop, regardless of the fact that some unscrupulous people will use it to deceive other people.

There are a lot of scams out there and a lot of people still fall for them due to greed. Remember, if it is too good to be true, then it is. Don't believe people on the internet.

Why Bitcoin can not destroy any government. He believes that it is likely that world governments will jointly take organized action to prevent the operation of bitcoins or, more broadly, virtual currencies.

This is completely impossible due to the progressive development of blockchain technology, which will soon manage many services on the entire planet. And if so, you will always need some tokens to make this technology work. They will be smart contracts ubiquitous in the upcoming internet of things etc. etc. no one really knows how it will develop except that development is moving forward quickly and decisively.

And since they will be tokens, they must be available for Fiats, or toilet money. Otherwise, this world computer based in part on eg ETH will not work. So far, however, it continues in the best tokenization of our fallen civilization. And as long as blockchain-based technologies with immanent tokens will operate (even one service for one type of token) they will always be exchangeable for every other cryptocurrency through decentralized exchanges.

So stopping / banning / controlling bitcoin is impossible, unmanageable and only someone really stupid as Jamie Dimon can believe in the power of government.

not just in the Philippines.
but still many other countries like that , education about cryptocurrency should be extended to the general public.
I had been a victim of that sort of thing before , but it makes me a valuable lesson to better understand cryptocurrency.
Yeah, a lot of countries have been plagued by the activities of scammers who are looking for gullible, naïve and greedy investors who are looking for ways to quickly get rich. By now, I believe that every sane person should have known that as long as it is ponzi, it will only pay those in the top chain and things like this should be discarded.

Since people will never stop getting greedy, these set of scammers already know they will always have the greedy ones to just fall. Because of a lot of people are getting greedy and looking for quick ways to make money in areas they should know better that does not even make sense to do so.

If life is that way, we would have all been extremely rich and everyone would have had equal opportunity to just keep getting rich. However, while some are smart to know that when somethings are too good to be true, it should be considered as such and people should stay away, but no matter what you tell them, they still always end up falling anyway.

As we all know that Bitcoin is not a scam but there are the people who are using it to execute their scams. It is defaming Bitcoin and building a negative perception of it. However, Bitcoin is based on the principle of decentralization so it is our responsibility as a user to stay alert. We are responsible for our actions and we deserve as per our precautions. I do believe that many problems will fade away along with the increase of mass market maturity.

Scams happens daily around the world fiat or crypto are primary tools, thats why we need to support some goverment regulations in order to destroy scams such as pyramiding schemes but the public should also get involved by being vigilant and to be aware of the danger that theyre into.
