Banks across the Philippines experiencing day-long outages due to an Instapay/Bancnet emergency. Meanwhile Bitcoin and the lightning network are working just fine.

True. That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

Actually insane. You can now pay pretty much anyone and any merchant in the Philippines over lightning Gcash is widely accepted at like every single store in the country. You can now pay them with BTC
Replying to @Stromens @Strike
You can also now skip a step by just sending a lightning payment to a phone number like 639685555555@zapremit.com and it goes straight to their GCash account!

ZapRemit now supports sending Bitcoin / Lightning Network payments directly to bank accounts in the Philippines and Mexico. You can use our service through the Strike app. Which country or wallet should we integrate next?

We could certainly use some community assistance in keeping @btcmap up to date in the Philippines! If anyone lives near a bitcoin-accepting merchant please pay them a visit to support them. We'd love to see pics and videos! Tag us and include your lightning address and we'll send you sats as a thank you! If they still accept bitcoin, you can tap "verify" on btcmap. If they don't accept, you can remove the business or contact btcmap to remove it. btcmap.org/map#6/12.97244/12…

The Philippine eagle is the largest eagle in the world. It is also endangered, as only 400 breeding pairs remain. It may be the symbol of freedom, but bitcoin is the best tool available to mankind to ensure freedom is more than just a symbol for future generations. Don't forget to stack some sats during this generational buying opportunity. We are happy to answer any of your questions about bitcoin, simply email hello@isle.ph.

Thanks to the users who reported that the shop.isle.ph was bugged. @coingecko tightened their requirements to fetch exchange rates, so @BtcpayServer removed support, causing the BTC_PHP rate check to silently fail. The store is working again now. If you live in the Philippines and haven't taken your coins into self custody yet, now is a great time. Isle (prev. Pouch) is the authorized reseller in the Philippines of the @BlockstreamJade and @tinyseed_io. >> shop.isle.ph

The Pouch app's first main use case was processing payments on bitcoin island, Boracay. Then, it naturally became a tool for borderless payments and stacking sats. As previously announced via email, our app is rebranding to isle.ph, as a nod to where it all started with the bitcoin island project! This rebrand effort will take some time to fully transition over, but please note that our social media accounts will be updated soon to reflect the change.
