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?

@NickSzabo4 @realstewpeters They only assume Papa is accusing them of unjust war because they know that they are guilty.

@paoloardoino Hey Paulo, our ZapRemit service supports instant lightning-funded payouts directly to fiat bank accounts in Mexico and the Philippines (more rails in the works). It could fit perfectly with Tether Wallet

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@tetherwallet Finally some big new action with LNURL / Lightning Addresses! Way to go @tether

@chenweihua @AJEnglish Until the country gets off the USD reserve currency and migrates to Bitcoin it will be under US control.

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@UnityInSA @BRICSinfo Why do so many individuals in the Philippines save in USD? Why do Philippine businesses settle in USD? Why does the Philippine government hold US treasury bonds?
(Get off the USD reserve currency and go to a neutral reserve. Historically, Gold. Future, Bitcoin.)

@simonwins28 Def still lightning support!⚡ You can send and receive sats via the lightning network. (Note: lightning payments are still auto-converted to/from PHP balance). Lightning addresses are @isle.ph now (@pouch.ph still supported as well for now).

ICYMI, the Pouch app has a new brand:
Get the isle app - https://t.co/39DywrYv5z.
Deposit PHP => Buy BTC => Withdraw to self custody.
Low Fees. Bitcoin-only.

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@pos2only Worse, the Philippine government regulates to make it impossible to build new technology in the Philippines, so we likely won't be producing the next wave of jobs. We'll just depend on some new wave of foreign companies looking for cheap workers. Open up the VASP license, BSP.

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@1btcgang Thanks for bringing it to our attention! We will look into it and get it fixed ASAP!

@JoeNakamoto Philippines has the best customer service industry if you're talking about offshore call centers. Locally customer service can be awesome or terrible, it varies widely

We have finally caught up on support tickets. Keep them coming! The only official support channel is via email to: [email protected]

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@horoshi192021 @jarv1s3 Hrmmmmm, your verification isn't going through? I'll investigate it -- could you send over your username either via X chat or email to [email protected]?

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

https://t.co/NP8393A5IV, now https://t.co/U9bOWrLm1m, has a new social media handle: @btcisleapp. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

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. https://t.co/KjC5e122eL

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@jarv1s3 Yes, sir! And I'm running this account! Thanks for being a loyal user through all the change -- We were slow and I wasn't sure what my vision for the company was throughout 2024-25, but we are hiring again + big announcements coming soon!

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 [email protected].

[Isle.ph @Pouch_PH]

@marcel039 It should be available on Android I believe, but Apple restricted iOS to Philippines only
