Bitcoin remains the only unified solution that can work for everybody.
One thing the vast majority of existing digital wallets in Indonesia have in common is how they target different segments of the population. Every individual offering does its own thing, rather than creating a go-to solution for various needs. Collaboration with banks is tough, as every major bank is working on its own digital wallet solution right now.
