I'm from Philippines. In our country, BTC is not yet well known to average filipinos. Some are still skeptical and don't even dare to explore this cryptocurrency. Worst, they think it is a scam. I know for a fact because I was once with the same mentality. But things changed when my friend discussed BTC with me, I researched and i give it a try.
Though, there are already increasing popularity with BTC yet there are still no significant number of merchants accepting BTC as a payment.
Same here i thought it was a scam before but when my sister showed me her earnings and how she can easily withdraw from her bank I finally convinced. Thats why i joined here to gather more information about bitcoin and im also earning now which is very helpful since im currently unemployed.
