Bitcoin in Southeast Asia?

[beetcoin]

fyi, worst pricing in southeast asia, that i saw at least, was in laos.. their currency was pretty strong against the dollar, and they did not have a whole lot of infrastructure, which meant it cost me quite a bit to travel through the country. you had to pay $10 for a tuktuk ride across the city, about 10-15 miles or so.

I live in SE Asia.  The best advice is to post your current and next location occasionally so people can help out.

Thailand and Singapore are easy.  Cambodia seems to have the worst pricing in the world.

Interesting idea - thanks!

Well I live in India(a country in S.E.A ) , and here in Delhi, India I can find you some people who will be ready to give you cash for btc, so if you come to delhi do tell it to me

I believe India is part of South Asia. Not Southeast Asia.

Dear all,

I'm currently cycling all around Southeast Asia (www.jackandiva.com - beta) and looking to spend/trade some BTC along the way (it's the only money we have to fund the trip!). Not much can be found on http://coinmap.org for the remote parts of S.E.A. and neither on https://localbitcoins.com.... do you guys know of places which accept BTC or people that want to buy? Any other suggestions?

We're really keen to pay for things in BTC and help promote it if possible!

Thanks!  

I can be your guide if you have a plan to visit Indonesia, I'll take care of everything to make sure you use BTC all the time

How does Cambodia have the worst pricing? Last time I was there it was pretty cheap. A dollar here a dollar there. 50c beer ect.

Bitcoin pricing.  Terrible place to buy or sell because so few traders.  Fancy a $140 spread buy/sell?

In Thailand, on the other hand, you can occasionally get below Bitstamp prices because of tourists running out of money.

Just sent you a message. We arrive in Bukittinggi tomorrow but not sure where we are staying yet (hotel etc.). Will be there for ~5 days. Get in touch!

[meowdea]

Hmm...interesting. Would like to see additional data points outside of the forums.

[alexsandria]

Actually the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency in the Southeast Asia is getting bigger in which we see dicferent countries in the South east asia that is accepting the bitcoin and cryptocurrency as one of their alternative currency and that is really a good side of it because they are realizing right now the different ways on how they will be able to help it into their economic growth.

[coupable]

Thank u for ur advice. The BTC price now is so cheap and almost can not cover the electricity fee. But there should still have many BTC mining farms in SE, what do I want to do is to provide the BTC mining machine and maintenance service to them, but can not find website or groups to know about the mining environment in SE. If you know some groups, can let me know!

Are you looking for a country that offer cheap electricity to perform mining at low cost? Are you ready move your mining stuff and establish in a new country? The idea looks strange although it's possible.
With the actual price drop, and due to the global Corona attack, mining business is no more profitable and better to put your rigs in pause mode until overpass the crisis. The whole market is crashing down mate.
As far as i can tell, solo mining isn't that profitable and you have to join mining pool for better earning.

[VBTC]

Hi,

We are from VBTC, Vietnam's oldest Bitcoin Trading Platform .

We provide since 2014 an open-orderbook trading platform for the Vietnamese Dong vs. Bitcoin; as funding/withdrawal methods we currently accept any local bank wires, but also offer a service to deposit/withdraw cash in Vietnam's two major cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (which might come handy especially for the unbanked and/or visitors/travellers to Vietnam who do not possess a local bank account). 

[gwaposakon]

though not mainstream, awareness in cryptocurrency is a bit common in our country in the Philippines. there even some banks (especially in the capital) that accept cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawal. We even have crypto platform and apps that let you convert local currency to some crypto and use them to pay bills, remit, etc.

[cash2vn]

Hello 

We launched our remittance service cash2vn.com for the Vietnamese market in 2015 under the umbrella of Vietnam's first Bitcoin Exchange BitcoinVN.

Our service enables senders to pay via Cryptocurrency while the Vietnam-based recipients receive their funds in Vietnamese Dong on their bank account.

The service has seen an uptick in usage especially among the Digital Nomad crowd, but also among Vietnam-based freelancers and agencies for which it is a convenient way to get paid from overseas clients without going through the hassle Paypal and other services often cause.

[mboizcunk]

Well I live in India(a country in S.E.A ) , and here in Delhi, India I can find you some people who will be ready to give you cash for btc, so if you come to delhi do tell it to me

This is not Southeast Asia, but South Asia. There is a slight difference in this. How are you doing with cryptocurrency?

[Luzin]

I'm from Indonesia, many areas here have natural beauty. Please come here, but unfortunately for crypto as a means of payment, maybe it doesn't exist legally until now. Because I have never met it myself, maybe if you come here reply sir @sapta above has given a little help.
