Topic: Will bitcoin be banned on Philippines? - page 14. (Read 2042 times)
For me, I think it won't be banned here in the Philippines, there have been a lot of scammed issues before, pyramiding scam but this bitcoin is legit and it has been recognized also by the Bangko Central.
Im also thinking about this, recently the mainstream media are reporting negative issues about bitcoin. Bitcoin related scams are getting more tangible, and tge government might see it actually as a threat.
It could be because the Philippines securities and bourse commissions announced a policy that would manage cryptocurrency transactions such as bitcoin, to protect investors and reduce the risk of fraud. As is known, policymakers around the world are trying to control the global boom of bitcoin trade and other virtual currencies.
So to conclude, Bitcoin will still not be banned in the Philippines just because of that case. Of course those who are at fault should accept the consequence of their illegal activity. The government will control the usage of bitcoin in the country but its transactions and bitcoin itself would not be banned.
There’s a chance because of that scam I hope it will not because many people rely their incomes in bitcoin.
Thats true, but as far as I know Bitcoin was not really involve in the scenario, but they used the reputation and name of Bitcoin to scam people since Bitcoin is very well known nowadays, and I think that what really matters, we should not believe everything that we are seeing on the television, and we should not be interested in an instant money which really doesnt exists, for you to have profit better pay for it really hard.

This will make the BTC price drop. But no, today the price of BTC increased dramatically. We can see the market is green. And according to me, BTC will continue to increase sharply by the end of 2018.
This basis are not enough to ban bitcoin in here in the Philippines. There were lots of scammed issues before and yet they're still not aware of the big ROI offering. Those victims surely knew that the government has no control over bitcoin. Those kind of people are after with an easy money on their hand so, there's no one to blame but themselves. They both have the same interest, to earn money without any hardship. If the government will ban bitcoin here in the Philippines, what will happen to the rules and regulations that SEC trying to develop? This is to regulate cryptocurrency transactions to protect investors and reduce the risk of fraud. They should start implementing this and put changes to the accused. But to ban bitcoin because of this is inhuman.
I guess it can happen. Bitcoins are affecting the Philippine currency system. It made the Philippine currency depreciate and hinder the development of the economy. The Philippine government is making every effort to stave off the development of bitcoin. They can stop the bitcoin from working.
Over 900 Million pesos worth of bitcoins been scammed.
Filipino couple amasses at least P900M in alleged Bitcoin scam.
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Police have nabbed a couple promising easy wealth through popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa announced on Tuesday, April 10.
Arnel and Leonady Ordonio were nabbed by PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) operatives – the police division in charge of high-stakes and high-profile crimes – in Vigan City last April 4 through an entrapment operation.
The scam, Obusan said, is structured like a pyramid scheme but with electronic money.
The Ordonios apparently had middlemen who lured people to invest. They promised to pay victims with their earnings every 15 days.
Fueled by the worldwide Bitcoin hype, more and more people were baited by the Ordonio couple's promises.
The complaints started piling in when investors lost contact with the Ordonios.
Whats happened next?
Around 50 angry victims stormed to Camp Crame on Tuesday, asking the couple if they could still get back the money they had hoped would grow.

I think that is not a reason enough for the Philippines to ban bitcoin for as we know, Philippines is starting to accept and adopt bitcoin as a digital currency. There are companies who accepts and have bitcoin as their mode of payment. I think bitcoin would still sttive better in the Philippines.
That would be a great news then because this means that there will still be a lot of people in the philippines that will be able to have access to the opportunities that this industry can offer to everyone. Which are jobs for the unemployed or people looking for side jobs or part time jobs.

I don't think it will be banned in the philippines because philippines are accepting bitcoins now. Actually there is already virtual wallet where you can store your bitcoins and ethereum safely without worrying that you might lose you. Also there are some establishments accept bitcoin as a payment. Filipino couple amasses at least P900M in alleged Bitcoin scam.

I don't think only for this reason bitcoin will be banned in Philippines. I have heard that Philippines is already started to accept bitcoin as an online currency. So it's totally wrong that bitcoin will be banned on Philippines.
Yes it will not banned, also there is no news from the government that bitcoin is illegal. Even recently bitcoin was in the top news in the country because a certain persons scam people because of bitcoin but government did'nt say at all to banned. Actually people is started recognizing the use of bitcoin.

There are some cases where bitcoin become scam because of the people who use it. Bitcoin itself is not a scam but the people behind that particular bitcoin is the scam because they lie to people that if they invest on it they will get higher profit than to invest it into banks. So if they already had the money they will take it away, so it is more likely theft than scam. Filipino couple amasses at least P900M in alleged Bitcoin scam.

I believe banning bitcoin in the Philippines will not happen because the community umof it is growing and can testify how bitcoin is helping their lives including myself. And the couple scammer would not be a valid reason to ban bitcoin plus they were caught, another thing is scammers in the Philippines is not as big in numbers.

This an isolated cases but if they banned the bitcoin in the Philippines, I think this is not the reason besides there is a report that they are planning to have regulation about cryptocurrency.
Even there is a news about the bitcoin scammed here in our country, it is still bitcoin not yet banned since Bitcoin itself has no intention on it. It will depends on the people who are doing harm to other people that were not really aware on those legit provider of bitcoin. Because of the news, many people should beware and always think before to invest so that they will avoid those illegal provider.
There could be a more strict regulations that may released but banning bitcoin because of this is not acceptable to bitcoin users all over the country bitcoin just used to collect money and have nothing to do with this scam activities therefore bitcoin is not a problem.
