From what I am reading in this article the bitsharesX platform would be perfect match for a gov. launched e-coin. They would really even need to do any leg work other then create a user issued asset which of course would be backed by btsx, giving them a stake in the exchange their coin is traded on.
If you have ever been to the phils you will know that remittance and mobile payments are a way of life for the people their. The main reason being that many do not have the cash on hand to open and sustain bank accounts. This is a English speaking market with a pro crypto gov.
The keys would be for of course the bill to pass
and to make a partnership with
http://www.bsp.gov.ph/ (did someone say possible on and off ramp?)
I know their are probably a few talks being done with banks but maybe someone should check with these guys and see whats up.
government approval, remittance/mobile payment educated, bank partnership all in one place
