₱60 Billion? Just the START!

by

Listen close, comrades! These so-called “experts” – PDAX, Saison Capital, Onigiri Capital, names that roll off the tongue like polished stones… they’ve decided the Philippines has a potential for sixty billion dollars in this… “tokenization.” Sixty billion! As if a few digital trinkets will suddenly fill the bellies of the hungry or ease the burdens of the toiling masses. 🙄

They Say $60B is Just a Taste…

Apparently, whispering sweet nothings about blockchain and wallets will magically unlock a fortune by 2030. They say “rapid retail adoption” – as if our people are just waiting to trade their hard-earned pesos for these… ethereal promises. Paper promises have always been plentiful, haven’t they? And these aren’t even on paper! 💸

This “Project Bayani” – a grand name for a scheme to sell dreams, no? They boast about “true financial inclusion.” Inclusion for whom, I wonder? The landowner already drowning in wealth or the farmer struggling to feed his family? Hmm. They claim it’ll lower barriers to ownership. Lower them to what, exactly? The owning class owning more? It’s always the same song, just a different instrument.

Sixty billion, they declare, isn’t a limit, but a starting point. A floor! As if the sky’s the limit for exploiting the hopes of the simple folk. They point to GBonds doubling after launch as proof. Doubling for whom? Those who had something to bond with in the first place! 🤡

Fractional access, automated compliance… fancy words for slicing up the pie into smaller, more digestible pieces for the vultures. And distribution through GCash, Maya, PDAX, Coins.ph? Merely different shops selling the same illusions. A clever network of nets to catch the unwary. 🎣

“Conservative floor,” they call it. A “minimum viable opportunity.” As if they’re doing us a favor by deigning to allow us a share of their projected gains. The real upside, they coyly admit, depends on “public-private partnerships” – read: government handouts for the benefit of these very same “experts.”

From one million asset holders to potentially one hundred million… sounds like a grand outpouring of prosperity. Or a grand swoop of opportunity by those who already possess the tools to swoop. They dream of blockchain wallets reaching “nationwide saturation.” I dream of bread on every table, but dreams are cheap. 💭

Questions & Answers (Because They Anticipate Your Skepticism) 🤔

  • What is this “projected size” they keep blathering about?
    Sixty billion dollars, supposedly. A number as vast and empty as the promises of politicians.
  • Which platforms will help them fleece the public, er, “drive adoption”?
    GCash, Maya, PDAX, and Coins.ph. Write them down; you might need them for…research.
  • How many poor souls will they aim to enroll in this scheme?
    One million now, ten million soon, a hundred million… eventually. Quantity over quality, naturally.
  • What can make this whole thing even bigger (and more profitable for them)?
    Manipulating the market, extracting favors from the government, and convincing you that this is a path to riches.
