Title: Bitcoin Mainstream Feels
Post by: chixka000 on August 17, 2017, 02:27:59 AM
Just within the same months last year. I cant hardly seen filipinos talking about btc because we already know that during that time btc is just widely known somewhere in the east but i was shock right now because in the office people do talks about it alot right now. I can really feel the essence of bitcoin hype. Are having the same situation now compared to before in your respective places?

That's doesn't look fair, because Philippines is one among the country that has got good acceptance of bitcoin. Even in our forum we have got lot of users from Philippines. Bitcoin going mainstream is not gonna happen in a short or later. This always serve as an secondary solution for the mainstream traditional currency system.

Absolutely!Throwback few years ago,in my country (Morocco) no one knew about it.Now after the 4000$ pump and the split at my surprise everyone started  talking about it,even the local news talk about it's career in every news round!Isn't this amazing?Soon everyone will know about it but let's not get too excited for now.

I'm really hoping that my country setup new services for bitcoin such ATMs,local exchanges etc...

Alot of pinoys knew bitcoin since lastyear, but yea more and more are hearing about it. Unfortunately though, most of them just look at it as a method of making money and I don't think most of them even know the beauty of the technology of bitcoin and what things bitcoin can solve. You can look at the Philippine bitcoin facebook groups. Full of referral links of ponzi/scam sites. You barely see any kind of discussion about bitcoin itself.  :-\

It's because of the bitcoin price that has got the attention of the people especially those big players in the market like wall street. Bitcoin is in front page of wall street journal making people more convinced to check and researched more about cryptocurrency. Last year maybe they already heard about it but thought that its just a fad because the price is not that significant yet but now when they see the price thrice the price of an ounce of gold then that made them more convinced to take a look. More people are talking about it now than a year ago in my place as well.
