Title: With 70% Population Unbanked, Future of Bitcoin in Ghana is Bright
Post by: Chronobank on October 11, 2016, 09:00:51 PM
Aside South Africa, Kenya and to some extent the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bitcoin doesn’t seem to be penetrating other African countries. Many have attributed it to lack of infrastructure and ignorance of the digital currency.

Godwin Bush, Director of Operations at PmCedis Capital, an Accra based Bitcoin Exchange, spoke to Cointelegraph about the future of Bitcoin in Ghana. He stated that Bitcoin adoption in Ghana is invigorating but it is most popular among the young generation. It is significant to mention that Bitcoin has an enormous power to lift the copious unemployed Ghanaian youth from squalor.

LOL!
How many without a smartphone or a reliable Internet connection?
Also most smartphone in Africa come with a pay as you go line, and data transfers is expensive to Africans. so it's not as easy as it seems.
