Philippines,and don't tell me there are so many stores who accept bitcoin,i am from the PHILIPPINES,never saw one,never heard people nor speak about bitcoin in my end...been studying it for years,can't afford it though,i just feel i have it,but can't prove it because of the scarcity of real people to speak it with
Heya! I’m from Canada. Your country is very beautiful. I’m not familiar with Bitcoin in the Philippines and it’s level of adoption where you are. Even here in Canada, there are not a lot of places we can actually SPEND our bitcoin. Aside from trading between other users and spending online, no real retailers actually accept it.
That’s the future we are working towards though
How much you know about bitcoin?
Does one need to have a bank account to own it?
I know enough for my own needs. No, Bitcoin does not require a bank. It requires you to create a wallet though and there are a couple different ways to do that. Ideally, you take for responsibility for the custody of your Bitcoin and your keys 🔑
Without human to human interaction,i see bitcoin still hard to grasp for ordinary filipino's like me...i mean having a bank account and purchasing/mining bitcoin on an exchange or a bank is so much harder to understand compared explaining it to a person who never had a bank account and say bitcoin can bought from a peer to peer anonymously...you get my point?
See just expressing my thoughts is such a challenge...its not what i wanted to say,yet because i have to be FORCED to speak(not on my native language), words and thoughts may be seen/understood in a different meaning..what more if i ask/speak about bitcoin?
@TheGuySwann
Anyone bitcoin resources in Tagalog? Thought you’d be the best to ask!
Look Peter, Bitcoin (address/"wallet") IS your "bankaccount".
For free. No questions asked. For everyone.
You just need to tell the people where they have to send the coins to.
Find someone willing to sell Bitcoin in exchange for work, service or even money, and let yourself pay the coins to your account.
I am sure there are tourist happy to pay with BTC for a lot of things.
No there aren't,you're not for my country,how would you know?
Can't afford it too,too expensive,so i tried asking for it once,and gave my address,and was called a whimsy cunt grifter?
Why is it for everyone if no one can help but yourself while its literature mostly written in english...and don't even know who owns it...so much complexity for stupid minded people like me...
How close are you to Boracay? Seems like there is a lot of tourism there and the bitcoin lightning network is used quite a bit!
Can i ask a question,so how does selling bitcoin works?does the seller gives his/her/their private keys when they sell their bitcoin to the buyer/s?
You generate an invoice (address) and give it to the person who pays you.
The person sends it to the address.
You have the Bitcoin.
The address is often also a picture (QR code) they can scan with their camera.
It's easy as fuck.
