PNB looks into use of bitcoin!

[Lhez]

Cryptocurrency is not just a mainstream but also considered as a necessity in this digital world. People look for convenience in all their ways especially in payment and other financial transactions. It is a good news that PNB is eyeing this system, this opens diversity to all financial institutions in expediting financial processes and transactions. Having said, this idea needs a lot of considerations especially security. How secured engaging to cryptocurrency? Big financial instituion such this can fund and sustain projects for building security system for bitcoin users. Yes, it is possible. They can create security systems. They can create a system by controlling enouigh bitcoins for users, the circulatory system and other security measures. If these are done, I believe that this will open the gate for everyone to invest in our country.

sana pag ng open sa mga local banks natin ang bitcoin dapat umayon ren sila sa market chart nito.pero as in malamang makikialam ang Bank Sentral ng Pilipinas about sa issue na ito dahil malaki ang malulugi sakanila pag hindi nila na take over ang cryptocurrency sa pilipinas.

[hastang]

napakaganda nyan kapag natuloy... sigurado maraming matutulungan na mga pilipino pag nag open sila ng portal sa cryptocurrency. mas madali nalang palit at mag deposit ng pera patungo at pabalik sa crypto world. aabangan ko ang katuparan nyan sa takdang panahon.

[sheryl18]

maganda po kung ganun dahil makakatulong po ito sa atin at uunlad po tayo lahat kung makikipag tulungan po sila saatin dahil a dami po nang may alam nang bitcoin .sana unti unti na nilang matangap ito para lahat po tayo makinabang sa lahat.

After uninon banks pnb and even banko sentral then all Banks Will accept btc as a kind of currency this will  effect the price to rise up
Crypto will be partners of all banks soon cause they don't have  choice but to collaborate

good news sa maraming nag crypto pag nagpatuloy pa ang ganito na maraming tumatangkilik at sumusuporta dito sa Philipinas at kasama ang mga banko, maiiwasan na ang pag iisip ng karamihan na ellegal itong trabaho

[blackssmith]

This is a Big News To us because (PNB) is verry common to our country and many Filipino PNB user's And I'm the one of that and I hope They will grab the opportunities to cryptocurrency  because crypto is very well-known when it's comes to online job

Magandang balita to na unti unti na yung mga banko na maging open sa blockchain, after unionbank sumunod agad ang PNB sa pag alam sa blockchain, at im sure maraming bank ngayon ang naiinterest sa blockchain technology siguro nag aantay lang talaga sila ng official announcement sa BSP

Sa pagkakaalam ko, matagal ng open ang mga bank sa crypto currencies. Kung mapapansin ninyo sa thru coins.ph pwede na kayo magdeposit at magwithdraw direct sa inyong bank account. Si coins.ph kasi ang nagbind  ng tiwala ni crypto currency at banks kaya ito pinayagan dati pa, kaya lang hindi pa siya totally inilalabas in public kasi ay hindi pa naman ganoon kasikat dati ang crypto currencies.

Kung napansin ninyo ang coins.ph together with the other remittances center in Philippines ay may limit ang withdrawals at deposits it's because nagfollow sila sa rules and regulations ng AMLA sa Pilipinas. Also regarding sa attorney ng BSP na nakausap namin still on going ang study para sa mabilisang process ng pagapprove ng crypto currencies.

Sa kabilang dako posibleng pagnaayos at naapprove na lahat ng document sa legalization ng bitcoin and other altcoins dito sa Pilipinas, magkakaroong na ng taxes ang mga taong malaki ang kinikita dito. Kasi mamomonitor na lahat ng incoming at outgoing income ng bawat isang individual. Karagdagan; PNB is one of the most trusted government bank in the Philippines, so masaya ako at tuluyan na nilang tinanggap ang crypto currencies sa ating bansa.

matagal ng alam ng PNB ang tungkol dito sa crypto kaya nga na apbrobahan ang coin.ph na gamit ng karamihan pinoy sa pag cashout ng kinikita nila dito. ayon nga lang ay bilang pa lang ang mga banko na tumatangkilik nito.

[jhonvir666]

    for me even PNB and other banks want to use bitcoin about that we can not do anything for banks to bitcoin that means there's a plan to get bitcoin.will it's good for all investors here in a crypto and it gives huge amounts and raising the price on bitcoin so we should spend their plans on it best for everyone. you agree with bitcoin we can do nothing but follow me along with these rules of bitcoin so we must obey and respect what it is.

[TheKeyLongThumbI]

Sobrang nakakagalak lang marining na bukas ang ilan sa mga banko natin sa posibilidad na gamitin ang bitcoin para sa ating pangaraw-araw na transaksyon. Dahil sa statement nila, nakahinga rin ako ng maluwag dahil may may benepisyong hatid ang tingin nila sa cryptocurrencies.

[ruthbabe]

Maybe its about time they accept the usage of cryptocurrency. Sooner or later matatanggap na rin worldwide and crypto so instead of finding faults, they should find ways on how to properly regulate it para at least hindi naman tayo mahuhuli sa ibang bansa. Malay nating napakalaki na pala ng total income ng mge bitcoiners dito sa bansa natin, makakatulong pa sa economiya.

Ang alam ko matagal ng tanggap sa Philippines ang usage of cryptocurrency, lalo na ang Bitcoin. Ginagamit yan ng mga OFW sa pag-transmit ng pera papunta sa Philippines. P300M Monthly Remittances to the Philippines are Done Through Bitcoin

A growing number of the 10M Filipinos overseas are starting to discover the benefit of remitting money back to the Philippines via cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. According to the Bangko Sentral, they estimate that over P300M monthly of the remittances to the Philippines are coming through this channel. That’s approximately three times the volume seen last year.

Why is it gaining traction? It’s arguably a cheaper and faster way to move cash. If you try the typical services like Western Union, an overseas Filipino will have to pay a transaction fee of $11. If they want to transfer via bank through Western Union the fees are lower but they will have to wait for 6 business days before it gets credited to the account of their family back home. This is a strong use case scenario for cryptocurrency here in the Philippines.

“It’s like any other monetary instrument [and even] an investment instrument. There are risks but essentially, it can be managed. If you want something that is fast, near real-time and convenient then there’s the benefit of using virtual currencies like bitcoin.” – BSP Governor Nestor Espenilla

Just hoping lang talaga na may isang banko na magaaccept ng bitcoin kapag ngyari yon sunod sunod na ang mga pangyayari, magkakaroon na ng pagbabago kapag nagkaroon ng adaptation from our country, kaya patuloy lang sa pagsuporta at ipakita sa mga banko paano makakatulong tong ganitong oportunidad sa kanilla.

TOP official of the Philippine National Bank (PNB) vows to study bitcoin amid Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) accepting stance on cryptocurrencies. PNB chair Flor Gozon Tarriela said they are looking at bitcoin and blockchain technology very cautiously but stressed the bank is not into it yet. “PNB will closely study the disruptions going on in the financial sector. We want to know more about the trends. We want to be aware of what is happening. But as to our plans to venture, we are not into it yet,” said Tarriela, adding that they are in the process of studying its dynamics and its possible effects to the banking business. A bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. While it recognized the potential benefits of virtual currencies as it facilitate the movement of funds at a much faster, cheaper, and convenient way, the BSP is equally cautious of the potential risks including illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

It has advised the public that they have to be conscious of the opaqueness of transactions involving bitcoins. To minimize risks, the BSP encouraged existing and prospective virtual currency users to deal only with BSP-registered virtual currency exchanges and maintain only a sufficient amount of virtual currency enough to address transaction requirements. BSP warned that virtual currency users should properly secure their virtual currency holdings and observe security tips to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal information and transaction details. “The BSP still has to issue regulations on this virtual currencies. But, we, in the banking industry advocate the know-your-customer first,” said Tarriela. PNB’s thrust this year is to go digital. Tarriela said they have launched mobile banking apps to cater to the needs of the tech-savvy market. “The way to go, really, is digital,” she said, adding that this will also help them reach out to the unbanked population.

Napaka gandang balita nito, tiyak na mas makikila pa ng mga pinoy kung matutuloy amg project na ito.

[aljun107]

Magandang balita yan. Buti naman sa bitcoin na sila nag focus instead of the other alt coins out there. Di naman sa bias ako pero mas malaki kasi ang magagawa ng bitcoin. Kung ung ibang alt coins kasi mababa pa ang value at may chance na di suportahan ng mga tao.

[Chyzy101]

unti unti na ngang nakikilala ang bitcoin dito sa pilipinas sana nga lang suportahan ito ng mga kababayan natin. magandang start na itong hakbang ng bangko n to. sana makita nila ang maganda side pag dating sa bitcoin at hindi yung nga negatibo.

[Raiden0729]

Akala ko ba regulated na talaga ng bangko sentral ang transaction using bitcoin. Sabi nila na pwede na daw gamitin thru remmitances. Okay na din yung pjnag aaralan ng bsp ang crypto since baka ito din ang makatulong sa governement natin pagdatijg sa financial issues ng bansa.
Opinyon ko lang naman.

[josepherick]

Much better talaga kung i accept na ng mga big banks ang crypto para sa gayon wala na tayong pangamba na baka ito ay i ban dito sa ating bansa. It takes time talaga at magiging worth it din ang pag support ng mgaraming tao sa bitcoin community and crypto world.

Sana nga masimulan na tong bagay na to dahil kailangan din natin ng kanilang suporta, naniniwala ako na ang Pilipinas ay parang Japan kung saan nakikita nila ang pagbabago ng cryptocurrency sa bansa natin lalo na sa mga indibidwal, kaya dapat lang na makisabay tayo kasi ayan na ang oportunidad dapat lang na sunggaban na natin bago mahuli ang lahat.

Sang-ayon ako Jan, naniniwala din akong HND magpapahuli ang pilipinas as mas maayos na hinaharap para as lahat.

[Kulafu]

Ito ang maganda na balita. At least open ang banko sa Pilipinas sa Crytpocurrency. Sana matuloy ito.

[Phantomberry]

That's a good news ay yung mga bangko natin dito sa pilipinas ay nag-sisumula na mag involve kay bitcoin nakita nila sgura ang kakayanan ng block chain technology kung kaya't na enganyo sila kay bitcoin.
