Former Thai Prime Minister suggests trial of Bitcoin payments in Phuket
ChainCatcher news, according to Thai media Moneyandbanking, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra stated at a seminar that Trump might repay the U.S. debt using Bitcoin, while specifically emphasizing that this is not an encouragement for everyone to buy Bitcoin, but a reminder that this is a trend. Currently, various cryptocurrencies have emerged, and some say that the number of future currencies may exceed the number of countries. The Thai people must keep up with the times and understand these changes.
Thaksin also suggested that the Prime Minister could instruct the Ministry of Finance to study whether Bitcoin could be accepted in Thailand, for example, by piloting the use of Bitcoin in Phuket, allowing Bitcoin holders to make payments locally.
