good governance will certainly support economic actors and various fields that use the blockchain base to increase economic growth passion so that it will increase morale. with government support through good policy, the growth of cryptocurency will be more rapid and able to encourage macro economic growth
yes good governance is the key here, steem has the BEST distribution too!
Bitcoin has hundreds of millions of wallets and yet only half a million have 1 BTC and yet EVERYONE of the 1 million Steem Wallets has at LEAST 1 Steem token!
with blockchain base then all transactions will run without any cheating, although there are still scam, spam and phishing. But it becomes more can be minimized. Government policy is what we are waiting for in order to blockchain can develop well. If the government through the policies taken by the stakeholders then the use of state budget will be effective and not scattered by the corruptors eaten.

Looks like the first real decent streak of 2018, fingers crossed it is a sign of things to come.
I dont think it woukd do any good to general public as Philippines is a developing country.
Philippines need taxes to develop the country.
So if all OFW send money without using remittances- many business dies that for sure.
It is good for people like us who have little knowlwledge (me) but what about the majority of Filipinos who dont own a celphone or computer? 😳 This is an issue i think.
upvoted u though 🍷
Good times ahead in the crypto world :) I'm very excited with this developments. Thank you for sharing :)
I'm always wondering about how many Bitcoins we will never know about because they're locked in someones wallet and the private key is lost. I think there are roughly ~4-5M bitcoins that will never leave some locked wallet that they're in. But it's crazy to think how many of them have been mined at this point. It's come a long way since I heard about bitcoin back in 2012.

@penguinpablo good breakdowns man! I am looking at #LTC, #STEEM, & #SBD along with #XRP #XVG & #TRON!
I strongly believe other very stubborn countries that have refused to adopt cryptocurrency or kicking against it, will soon see how foolish they have always been.
I have always known that Cryptocurrency will soon send FIAT packing and this seem truer with the crypto updates you have given above. I am really impressed I dedicated pretty much time to read through your post line upon line. I am also impressed because I am confident my hope for crypto will not be dashed.
Interesting facts gor crypto
Now i know steem will do too
