Guys, gusto ko lang mag-open ng discussion tungkol dito.
Alam naman natin na ang pinaka-goal ng Bitcoin is adoption, na magamit siya as real money, hindi lang pang-investment. Pero sa actual experience natin, sa daily transactions dito sa PH, ginagamit ba talaga siya?
Yes, tumataas ang presyo ng Bitcoin.
Pero tanong ko lang:
1) Dahil ba yan sa actual usage (payments, remittance, negosyo)?
2) Or mostly dahil lang sa investors na bumibili at nagho-hold?
your thoughts on this.
Even though as of right now, marami ng local e-wallets that have integrated BTC on their system, personally, I have yet to encounter any merchant na directly nag-aacept ng BTC within sa vicinity namin, even in the nearest city, wala din. Based on that, I believe malaki pa kinakailangan na mai-improve sa adoption ng BTC. But then again, I live in a rural area, and the nearest city isn't really that big and progressive compared to other major cities dito sa atin sa Pilipinas. Probably in other major cities, baka may iilan na tumatanggap ng BTC.
Tingin ko kasi naka-focus pa karamihan ng mga crypto/btc holders in trying to profit on Bitcoin's market value (even to its volatility) rather than its intended purpose, which is to facilitate online payments in a P2P manner.
Siguro by the time na widely known na BTC dito sa 'Pinas, baka 8 digits na rin value per BTC in PHP, and when that happens, people who actually hold or own some might not even consider using it as an online payment altogether. Itatago na 'lang nila para ipangpamana sa next generation.
