Africa is covered by demand for crypto-currencies !!!

Now Bitkoin.Africa allows customers from all African countries to buy bitcoins, quickly and without problems.
Nigeria became the first country to exchange P2P digital assets, seeking to facilitate access to bitcoin throughout the African region.
Bitkoin.Africa was launched by a team of Nigerian developers on October 1
Have a nice day, everyone! ;)

What kind of domain is Bitkoin.Africa?Can`t they buy a normal .com domain?This will look more legit and build more trust.We all need more bitcoin mass adoption in the african countries,but this will happen only if they have a better economic growth and produce more electricity.Nigerian scammers are famous around the world,but i`ve had good experience with cryptocurrency traders from Nigeria.They have always been honest with me.

Truly, the awareness in going higher on the daily basis.

Presently bitcoin is a global phenomenal

Only 1 guy selling BitKoins..?

Its a good initiative and African people are getting aware of the Bitcoins and its advantages. But p2p trading is still risky, would want to see what they offer in terms of security in between transactions.

yeah, it's time for bitcoin to keep developing wings in cryptocurrency competition. bit by bit bitcoin penetrated all countries in the world, hopefully will be a form of its development.

Bitcoin is unstoppable. Everybody will use it in 10 years

Guess Africa don't wanna be left behind. Many big countries adopted this technology. If African countries are going to adopt this technology. Why not? I heard bitcoin in Nigeria is very popular. Then i searched google about this. Over 100,000 merchants are now accepting bitcoin as mode of payment. They are really relying on bitcoin since it's the fastest and yet affordable way for sending money. http://www.oyibosonline.com/over-100000-merchants-in-nigeria-now-accept-bitcoin-payments/
Also it can change their lives because bitcoin is not just a tool for money transferring but also a good form of investment. Most African countries are suffering because of poverty. Maybe it can be a way to make their lives comfortable.

I have got to know that many Nigerians are trying to scam people by selling Bitcoins at very cheap rate and exchanging them for some coins.
No offense against any people but this is just what I heard from other people. I have personally seen some messages where they were selling Bitcoins for cheaper rates. I don't know about Bitkoin.africa but you should all stay safe from such people.

Thanks for the information you provided, it really is a good news. I can rejoice in the future btc will return price $ 4500.

Not only in Africa bitcoin is gaining momentum everywhere in the world. Still I think Crypto currency market is in the initial stages , only few people in the world know about it. So the demand of bitcoin will go higher and higher day by day, as new people connecting everyday.

I can say this is absolutely irrelevant to most of the Africain countries even though they claim otherwise, the currencies are only displayed in NGN, a verification process is needed and BVN is required which is a scheme introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the site have both buying and selling listings from the same person (only one) so I don't really see how there is much demand or how this exchange is meant to be for Africa If they only support Nigeria.

Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency)in Nigeria is still a mirage. There are a lot of skepticism among Nigerians on using bitcoins and cryptocurrencies in general due to the recent wave of bitcoin related Ponzi schemes that swept the country in the past few months with a lot of folks losing their cash. Well that's what you get for being greedy. There is also another scam coin called THE Billion coin (TBC) which has a similar initials to bitcoin (BTC) hence people get apprehensive when Bitcoin is mentioned.

On the other hand, there is a growing number of (smart) Nigerians who are aware and have adopted bitcoin and making profits.

The currencies are displayed in NGN because the initiator had only Nigerians in mind and was still dumb enough to pick a domain name extension with afrika. It's like someone thinking big but acting small .I have also been to the site, it looks like the regular Nigerian bitcoin exchange site, nothing special, with the addition of BVN as an extra security feature.

This is a welcoming news and it just shows that bitcoin is really hard to stop right now and that's why a lot of nation is talking about it recently. But I would just like to question if Africa is really prepared for this tsunami? Have they setup their infrastructure already? Internet and Electricity is there? Because if majority of Africa has so many problems that they are facing then how they gonna adopt bitcoin? They should priority like food, shelter and water before bitcoin can really be useful in the whole of Africa. IMHO. So I'm still a little skeptics that the continent can adopt it immediately.

This is a good news to all Africans who are willing to adopt bitcoin technology as another currency is the website currently like bitcoin buy and sell  exchange site? or just like localbitcoins.com?

It’s really good move since there is some countries banning bitcoin exchanges some other coming up with new solution for crypto currency . But I think .africa domain looks quit odd for me they should have use some popular domains.

The bitcoin will be a huge help for the country of Africa because it will open a lot of opportunities for the african people to earn money through bitcoin and if bitcoin will be good to their country then it will start to clear the poverty in that country because it has a lot of opportunities that is just waiting for the people to grab in order to change their lives.

This is a good news on African region. And it's good to know that there are Nigerian developers that are into bitcoin I know it will not be an easy challenge to them there since the community there is not believing on bitcoin. But this is just the start of it, after raising the awareness about bitcoin in that place then many will start to get into bitcoin and it will reflect to the demand of bitcoin in that region.

I am in African and most Africans are not saving their bitcoins so that they could profit when the profit jumps, they are rather using it to purchase goods and commodities online since they can't do it with credit card due to most online stores not accepting orders from Africa due to fraudulent activities. When buying with bitcoins the orders will not flagged as fraudulent irrespective of one's location.

Actually talking with a friend who lives in Africa and he told me a lot of people getting interested due of bank fee, when they have to wire money from bank fees are crazy.

This is interesting news. As far as I know, various digital services are actively developing in Nairobi. I hope that the popularity of bitcoins and the opportunity to use ISO will help African countries to improve their infrastructure.

Is that your way of showing to the world that you are too dumb to write a post and all you can do is copy the topic?  

The problem with cryptos in Africa is that there's not much Internet coverage in there, even cell phone reception is very limited. This will make us wait years before it becomes a real market for cryptocurrencies.

Thanks mate for that information, at first reading the tittle I would like to congratulate them(those African members).
But it seem OP is just exaggerating it or he is so excited for here country to be on the level we’re bitcoin is accepted much to other country. But still hoping that bitcoin will be accepted and be spread through out this world. In Africa and in all country for them to experience the best thing in they’re life.

I have some friends in Egypt, Bitcoin is widely used there, but I do not think they need to buy it from foriegn company since there are some traditional exchanges that buy/sell Bitcoin.

I do not know much about bitcoin development in africa, but I read many articles that prohibit the use of bitcoin especially in south africa and niger. Developments that I know come from cryptogenie projects that focus on the African continent, I hope will encourage great development because of the many problems of poverty that must be solved better.

Great to hear. Always good for the bitcoin community when more countries accept bitcoin.

People in Africa also make use of phone credit to make small payments to each other locally and if they want to send or receive money from family oversees they usually have to wait hours in the line at bank or Western Union.

No wonder that they're also turning to Bitcoin, when they get more and more access to the internet at remoter places, Bitcoin will certainly become even bigger there.

Is just the way bitcoin spreaded around the world, everyone have chances to boost this kind of technology into greatness and be known to everyone. Since Africa had successfully launched their bitcoin exchange, it could be another achievement of bitcoin and it could attract their people to used and invest bitcoin.

People in Africa will surely be a great opportunist in bitcoin because that is the first step to promote bitcoin, is to make an exchange of bitcoin and if the people in Africa will realized that bitcoin is a great opportunity to take then they will surely work hard on it and they will earn bitcoin and use it to their will and they will have a fortune because of bitcoin and that is for sure.

Good news for Nigerian people. It's good to have a local exchange to buy or sell bitcoin with local currency. Unfortunately, for my country, we have big difficulties in buying and selling with local currency.

This is another milestone for Bitcoin. Another continent is being saturated by Bitcoin blockchain technology,  this is a great news and at the same time Bitcoin might help those developing country's citizen to at least elevate their status of living by participating in different startups activity.  It was been proven several times that these Bitcoin startups greatly improve the lives of people.

they need very secured bitcoin atms there aswell

Has Africa always had an "expanding demand" for Bitcoin? I could have sworn that a decent portion of the posts that I had seen back in 2014-2015 were about Africa suddenly having a massive demand for Bitcoin, or asking how Bitcoin could be spread within Africa, etc. This doesn't seem like anything that is newsworthy to me, really. They seem to have been doing this for a long time and I would have been more surprised if there wasn't someone who was developing things within Africa.

Yes, there's a bigger presence of Bitcoin in South Africa and Nigeria. Kenya is emerging as well due to recent history.

You can see the growing demand by country from localbitcoins trades here, the growth is staggering (scroll down to see all the individual countries:
https://coin.dance/volume/localbitcoins (https://coin.dance/volume/localbitcoins)

Adoption of electronic-remittance has been great in many places in Africa! Primarily from the widespread use of cell phones with internet connectivity.

What would serve the people of Africa the best would be to use the real Bitcoin as it the most secure and best store of value. Any other 'blockchain' is essentially a scamchain. The greatest use-case for Africans would be obtaining Bitcoin as a long-term savings mechanism and secondary use as a cheap means of transfer for cross-border remittances. Bitcoin is the best tool to break away from central-bank financial bondage.

Has everyone known about the widespread use of cellphone remittance in Kenya (other parts of Africa) and attempts to centralize and control, shutdown competition?
Not too long ago - the debacle of Safaricom Mpesa and Bitcoin;
https://www.kenyainsights.com/revealed-how-a-worried-safaricom-used-backdoor-to-shutdown-bitcoin-which-was-set-to-neutralize-mpesa-dominance-in-kenya/ (https://www.kenyainsights.com/revealed-how-a-worried-safaricom-used-backdoor-to-shutdown-bitcoin-which-was-set-to-neutralize-mpesa-dominance-in-kenya/)


Not just in Africa, Fiat around the world is heavily infested, broken, and burdened with:
-regulatory burden on fiat banks & system (incredibly costly)
-insurance fraud
-false claims and insurance losses
-unemployment & other welfare costs
-inflating fiat to keep stock market rising and to keep house-prices from collapsing
-financing conflicts, bombs, and "aid"
-stabilize regions after natural disasters
-keeping monopolies with internet access centralized and search engine crawlers centralized
-money laundering
-chargebacks
-frivolous legal costs (lawsuits bogging the system down)
-state-sponsored corruption and unofficial corruption (governments and gangs, banks and conartists)
-retirement obligations (debasement in value to keep up with payments from government or other retirement-obligations)
-fake credit (goods being transacted with credit-loss, replaced by inflation of monetary base rather than bringing perpetrators & source to justice)

Bitcoin, systemically, is free from these burdens.

Bitcoin CANNOT be controlled.
Bitcoin cannot be made legal. Governments may still attempt to do so.
Bitcoin cannot be made illegal. Governments may still attempt to do so.

Efforts by any country's central bank or government to regulate bitcoin will accelerate that country's demise of fiat value. These costs of such attempts and many other costs are absorbed by monetary inflation - making fiat even more worthless over time. Fiat system has been broken for decades. Bitcoin however had reached escape velocity globally 4-years ago in 2013 thus will continue to rise & be adopted as it is the only escape from financial slavery and an opt-out of war-making, slave-labor producing central bank regimes.

I saw and read an article that the electric bill there is small
if that so the miners will be have luck and momentum will increase for those people

good for African people despite of its economy and way people lives will give them opportunity to rise

Well, we need to make sure that the electricity supply is reliable. If power is available only for 10-12 hours a day, then the miners will have to arrange for their own power supply, which can be quite expensive. Or they may be forced to shut down their rigs for an extended duration, which can also cause a hole in the pocket for them.

bitcoin spreading a good movement to us and its also a good news for the community. afrika will gaining bitcoin benefit and they can use bitcoin to buy many things for their needs. from now one, i think there will be more country is interesting with bitcoin like africa as we know in that country, many poor people which trying to survive from the hardest live that we can not imagine. and if they can use bitcoin like us then they have the biggest opportunity for their life so they can be a growing country like others else.

it's great fun, I hope that bitcoin always spread all the way to the corners of the world, so many people who can feel the result of bitcoin, I am very happy with this news.

Long back itself bitcoin has gained more momentum in Africa. This happened when few scam MLM's used it as an source to reach the user base. This further gained more support from the countrymen even after strong opposition arose from the government. So at present it might be gaining more momentum as the growth is happening potentially.

It makes sense. it's the only way Africa can free themselves from outside rule.

Well that good to know and aomething to look forward to. It also proves that Bitcoin is getting more popular to more countries and people and will also positively affect its market value since the demand will continue increasing. Hoping that in the future, it will be legal to more countries and will be used by more people as a currency.

We are all aware already that even their is a strong opposition by the government, the growth can be achieved. Bitcoin is unstoppable and really gaining wider acceptance. I do hope that Africa is the next continent that will take advantage of bitcoin. I'm seeing that if this is successful, there is a chance that the continent would at least alleviate the economic and financial aspect of the population. Maybe 2-5 years from now, Africa will be very different because of bitcoin.

I think the 10 years the long time period the people are now using the bitcoin on the high stage and the value of the bitcoin will be very high in the coming days; it is the time to make bitcoin use worldwide and remaining countries will make the bitcoin more popular with the time. It is the good time to increase the power of your money.

it's a good thing , and make bitcoin more popularity to all people .

i heard some starups like bitpesa are providing bitcoin related service. (mostly international remittance)
also heard Safaricom provides mobile payment solution to their customer, so am interested to see how bitcoin could co-work with such local financial services. it will be different from those in US or other locations

Great! Now even more countries are exposed to Bitcoin. Africa is a huge continent with a lot of potential for cheap digital payment. Bitcoin can fill that role perfectly. I hope African people really start getting involved and using Bitcoin instead of sending money through bank with huge fees.

Always great to hear development of Bitcoin adoption in the world :)

it takes decades

Did you read the link I provided?

It shows the history of the central bank and Mpesa using coercion and illegal practices to shutdown competition and to subvert bitpesa from spreading.

Educating and counter-action should be taken against the individuals acting in such disregard. Their names should be available easily, these are those serving as the Board of Directors for any of the entities.

Have fun.

bitcoin is gainning in africa are good news truly bitcome increasing the strenght of power in the cryptocurrecy world i believe not only in africa for the bitcoin continues the success in the intrire world as become a leading currency someday.

a great start and the right move. I really appreciate it

good for future development and bitcoin value of course, maybe now is the beginning of tomorrow will be a big step. let's wait what will happen.

I think not only the Africa but all the well developed countries are trying to give the large profits to the citizens. It is the need of the time because all the things in the Africa and the countries like this are making the crypto currency more and more popular to increase the profit of the country because it is good for the both the country and the users.

That would be good news to look forward to....a changed peoples in Africa, where her people sought and gained financial independence to better themselves.

i think this move is very risky, given the fact that most countries in africa do not have access to internet, there are few countries in africa that have access to to internet and those countries still do not have good internet connection and if they do, they have a conflict in their country, if we check on those progressive countries in africa, namely south africa and egypt, they have been developed because of colonization and those who are rich are still those had colonized them, the technology that they have, possibly will just give more income to the the rich people and not to the native africans. though this is good news, i think they all should first give financial education to all their people, since investing is really hard if we do not study it and understand it, and even more if you invest in bitcoin, since it is something intangible, a lot of people in africa may invest on bitcoin, but how sure are they that they will not loose, the first thing they should have done, it information dissemination and then introducing bitcoin to them. still this is good news to our community, however we need need to be cautious, since this might be a new thing to them, knowing that most fiat currencies in africa is becoming more and more devalued overtime and it is not a shock that people will turn to bitcoin if their fiat becomes obsolete. we also need to understand that africa will might soon hold the biggest percentage of bitcoin users, we need to check all of their movements.

There ate lots of good news I've read about bitcoin today. More and more countries are accepting it now. This could only mean one thing, more and more people also will buy and use bitcoin. As a result, the price of bitcoin will soar up high.

No. Wrong.

There is not more and more countries accepting it.

There are more and more governments rejecting it.

But there are many many peoples of the world in almost all the countries still seeking it, buying and investing in it despite everything.

The fiat currency global system is a debt-based conflict-funding system that wants to keep its monopoly (by the central banks).

Central banks controls the governments in each country.

Central banks control and have a MONOPOLY on credit/currency issuance in each country.

Additionally Central banks control the media in every region. Thus will TRY to influence opinion on things like bitcoin.

They will not allow competition and they've even banned bitcoin worldwide since 2013 training tellers to block/stop transactions if "bitcoin" is mentioned.

Four full years and the powerful central banks have been rendered POWERLESS TO BITCOIN'S decentralized strength.
Bitcoin keeps growing and growing in every country.

The people around the world are becoming too smart in seeing through the fiat currency schemes.

And it has become clear that...
Bitcoin CANNOT be controlled.

Bitcoin cannot be made legal. Governments may still attempt to do so. They can never have such domination on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin cannot be made illegal. Governments may still attempt to do so.

Bitcoin is GLOBALLY held and sought after by people in almost every country - see global trade data by country or see this list:

WHO WILL PROTECT ME FROM THESE HORRIBLE FIAT CURRENCY BUBBLES??
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP BLOWING BUBBLES OF EXTRA FIAT MONEY AROUND THE WORLD? (PLEASE NO MORE USD, EUROS, JAPANESE YENS, INDIAN RUPEES, CHINESE YUAN, MEXICAN PESOS - PLEASE STOP INFLATING AND MAKING BITCOIN SO VALUABLE)...stop this pumping

Recommend reading post: "Hacks Puppets and Forks - How to destroy Bitcoin"
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1834310.20 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1834310.20)

Bitcoin has the highest value because of the totality of what it is - if it lacked the features of what it is, then there would be no value.

If it can be shutdown, and have assets frozen by a bank or government, there would be no value
If it wasn't secure, there would be no value.
If it wasn't immutable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't globally distributed, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so strong, open-source decentralized and unstoppable, there would be no value.
If it wasn't so scarce, there would be no value.
If it was easy to spam transactions, there would be no value
If it didn't have the history of 8+ years (and still no hacker can exploit bitcoin blockchain), there would be no value
If it was exactly like fiat and only did transactions, there would be no value.

Bitcoin has all these together to make the most value and increasing more than any other financial-asset option coming from the fiat central-banking debt-system.

Though it is still very early adoption not even 1% adopted yet (most people everywhere don't know what it is)...
Bitcoin has freed, continuing to free, and tomorrow will still free many people globally from the centrally controlled debt-based fiat system that confiscates your wealth with inflation and tax. Bitcoin is a TRUE savings vehicle. Buying Real Estate, Hospital healthcare, Global traveling, College Education gets cheaper as you hold Bitcoin.


Central banks already control and manipulate Stocks, Real Estate, Gold, Interest Rates. Central banks will never have such domination on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin reached escape velocity 4-years ago in 2013 which means it cannot be stopped - cannot make it illegal or legal - governments/banks do not matter.

On the opposite end of the spectrum the global fiat (US Dollars, Indian Rupees, Chinese Yuan, etc) bubble system broke a couple of decades ago.

Fiat around the world is forced to inflate issuance as its heavily infested, burdened and broken with:
-regulatory burden on fiat banks & system (incredibly costly)
-unemployment & other welfare costs
-inflating fiat to keep stock market rising and to keep house-prices from collapsing
-financing conflicts, bombs, and "aid"
-insurance fraud
-false claims and insurance loss-events
-stabilize regions after natural disasters
-keeping monopolies with internet access centralized and search engine crawlers centralized
-money laundering
-chargebacks
-frivolous legal costs (lawsuits bogging the system down)
-state-sponsored corruption and unofficial corruption (governments and gangs, banks and conartists)
-retirement obligations (debasement in value to keep up with payments from government or other retirement-obligations)
-fake credit (goods being transacted with credit-loss, replaced by inflation of monetary base rather than bringing perpetrators & source to justice)
-using enforcement labor to freeze accounts and assets and take away your money
-costs of auditors and budgetors and accountants to governments and businesses

Bitcoin, systemically, is free from these burdens.

Be wary of things outside of bitcoin especially when other things start throwing around the word 'blockchain'.
A non-decentralized "Blockchain" is a private database....Private databases has virtually no value!

BLOCKCHAIN without bitcoin = SCAMCHAINS, useless unsecure private databases
BLOCKCHAINS without bitcoin ARE SIMPLY PRIVATE DATABASES that every small business has even a coffee shop = NO VALUE, its like fiat currency, small minimal value!

BITCOIN BLOCKHAIN = SECURE IMMUTABLE VALUABLE OPEN-SOURCE DECENTRALIZED FAIR (scarce bitcoin supply). Globally people poured over $80Billion (USD) equivelent value into bitcoin and this will increase with time.

I know that due to economic situation and lack of power supply in Nigeria. It is difficulty to really to succeed in anything. And most time is just a mind set of making quick money. I know that there are a lot of cryptocurrency investors in Nigeria.

It is good for their country that these kinds of developments are at the forefront of their modern technology, that they should secure and protect this kind of development and drive the bad deeds for their country.

Thats the reason why africa could play a big part in Bitcoin it's not a very well developed country and many people are always looking to make money to get by and I think Bitcoin can provide that.

There's just an abundance of potential and resource there for Africa to sprout up and take help lead a wave technological change in the world. I see them adopt Bitcoin soon and also innovating and creating and tapping into their vast renewable energy resources too.

Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency have wide scope in African countries. Due to long lasting civil wars their economies are devastated.Developing economies are allowing trading in bitcoins. In South Africa, cryptocurrencies are becoming particularly popular. BitPesa, Bitfinance are gaining some popularity. In Nigeria, Zimbabwe local traders and activists believe this new money as better alternative for their collapsed economy. But remote areas have problems like connectivity, electricity etc. Bitcoin related activities will help to generate jobs in these countries. If these basic infrastructure get restored these currencies can help to improve economic status of these countries.

Very true. Initially people had a negative feeling about it but now so many people in Africa has accepted bitcoin and investing in it.

that was simplistic, LOL, but accurate. it wasnt so much that Africa is reluctant about bitcoin, no more so than any other country (in fact they would most likely be the most receptive to cryptos, given the state of the governments. it is more that they already had perfectly good system in place that had became popular, the m pesa. Pretty low fees, good as cash and more popular than fiat in some places.  and this is some of the reason bitcoin hasnt caught on like it should; m pesa and related industries have been lobbying and legislating against it, to ensure they retain the same market share  ;D

good to hear that your country got involve in bitcoin, I think your country can produce a big demand in bitcoin IF all your regions in your country has a internet connection to be involve in bitcoin too. And as a Nigerian supported bitcoin and educated your country for it, I think beware on someone Nigerian who want to make a scam on your country, some of Nigerian are famous as a scammer but I don't think if they can if the transaction is P2P. and hoping that your country can 100% bitcoin supporters for more success in the future.

What is Bitkoin.Africa? Who did release it? Does it list in the exchanges? How much is it?

Inflation in Africa is very serious, bitcoin has become one of the means of hedging.
 :-X

great news, bitcoin will conquer the world. It is not a currency by a central governments, so they can not print as they want.

This is a fairly new market that I do not know yet. Bitcoin trading will become the world's trading trend so it will surely be more popular in all continents around the world.

Glad to hear that African countries are involved in the Bitcoin industry,
Bitcoin as Cryptocurrency has wide coverage in African countries.
and I hope your country can 100% support Bitcoin for more success in the future.


Bitcoin related activities will help generate jobs in these countries. If this basic infrastructure is restored, this currency can help improve the economic status of these countries

Africa was adopting crypto currencies due to the value of their fiat, sometime they have to exchange their fiat to USD to buy or to do transactions. But with the help of these digital currency, they can do transaction without hassle and much faster ways.

Africa is host to many great resources, truth and education is key to establishing better futures for her people.

It'll help them get favorable exchange rates if they need to buy anything using USD again. Bitcoin is becoming the world's 'gold standard'....currently somewhere around 1% adoption. we can see 2% adoption in a couple of years, and probably 5% world adoption in five years.
Anything above 5% = mainstream.

Probably  the greatest bitcoin achievement in the history. Yet i am still hoping that it could go through to the poorest countries around the world. There are really good developers in nigeria they used create games yet now good to say they are also adopting

Thumbs up!

Africa with Bitcoin is currently led by South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya.

Its actually great to see that bitcoin has already started expanding even in the African countries, which is good in my opinion, in the sense that bitcoin will gain more recognition and popularity within those African countries. This might result in the value of bitcoin skyrocketing to new highs since demand will be increasing than the circulating supply.

I expect you should first and foremost be excited that a brother have taken a bold step to fly the flag of Bitcoin somewhere in Africa and I also expected you to be in a position to make concrete suggestions or constructive criticism to show that the adoption of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) across Africa matters much to you and not to write him off. I must say here, that nothing will change in Africa, until African become the change they want. Learn to stand up for a brother, no one else in the world would do it for you and every well established venture today didn't start half as sound! Here's the first Rolls Royce, I hope it says something to you!

                                                          
You do not have a proof for that, yet you've gone ahead to propagate it! And if at all, that's going on, the greedy fools and accomplices that patronizes them should have their heads examined!

Africa's one and major problem is its mostly egocentric and stone age rulers, take them aside and Africa would know its best days. Interestingly, Bitcoin is such a solution provider! I think the present generation of Africans ought now to break the jinx by starting to think outside the box - waiting for their governments to generate power or provide infrastructures or food is surely a forlorn hope. By embracing Bitcoin, they can afford the best and latest technologies like green power and with reverse engineering at work, not reinvention of the wheels, things will definitely start to fall into place!

Great move for the people of Africa because they are now adopting great technology that can lead them for a brighter nation. Bitcoin will surely use by many people in the coming years and I am happy that Africa are now using it, more country to come with bitcoin.

Not just Africa but Nigeria is the leading country bitcoin is gaining  the momentum from. Many Avenue and awareness with a lot if local exchangers

How about Zimbabwe? It has been sad news of what has happened in that country.

Anyone have any news of how things are going in Zimbabwe?

Not surprisingly, Bitkoin.Africa is launched by a team of Nigerian developers. In my opinion, Nigeria is one of the progressive countries of this region on an equal footing with the UAE and Southern Africa.

It is real opportunity for Africa to cope with economic problems. Local currencies haven't got stable value as dollar or euro. So, it is one of the few opportunities to help africans save their money (and invest).

Wow! That's interesting stuff - local developers are a great asset to have. thank you for finding and sharing

Bitcoin could lead to a new economic revolution in Africa, because there are a lot of reasons people use btc instead of there national currencies.
one of the best example is driven by Zimbabwe https://news.bitcoin.com/after-mugabe-zimbabwe-pushes-bitcoin-to-17875/
where each btc is traded more than 60% in the rest of the world. Maybe next satoshi will be a citizen from an african country :)

Saw a really good video on YouTube about this. Bitcoin has not only help individuals free themselves from government controls, but also the governments to free themselves from unfair economic sanction which have left Africa in a disrupted state. Bitcoin is the revolution we have been waiting for.

Did you see the 'time traveler' post?  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2482799.40  Bitcoin takes off in Africa which helps lead to economy collapse.
Good for them though.  Those Zimbabwe dollars are just not the best store of value and who knows maybe we will make Africa rich.  They could use that.

Zimbabwe is one of the countries that using bitcoin more often that their national currency because of the more potential of bitcoin rather than their sinking currency. If bitcoin will be 100% implemented in Zimbabwe, i think that their country can be saved by just working and saving bitcoin.

Bitcoin is now very popular in Egypt. I have several Egyptian friends. They often discuss bitcoins and other encrypted currencies together. They even organized a training of bitcoin knowledge in a middle school.

You just cannot keep bitcoin down, corrected and bounced right back

 Bitcoin is truly unstopable and now africa allowed their people to buy bitcoins they dont wanna left behind. They know bitcoin is a good investment and secure block chain technology africans really a business minded. Bitcoin is really easy to use and now some are accepting bitcoins as payment.

Nice, that is really good to read. I love that Bitcoin and crypto in general getting more and more recognized. Good that people in Afrika are supporting and embracing the opportunity. Hopefully we will see this kind of adoption all around the world soon.

This development is a good start for poor country like Africa this will help lots of people from that country making more job opportunity. hope this will become a start of success using cryptocurrency in that country.

Its good to see african people getting awareness about bitcoin.Its such a big continent having many countries.Its already late to enter bitcoin world.But nigerians are world famous for their scams.Hope that this would be a legit one.

Today,nigeria is said to have the largest number of bitcoin trades in whole africa.According to google trends,nigerians search the word "Bitcoin" largest number of times in the internet all over the world.

At first,Bitkoin.Africa allowed only nigerians to buy and sell bitcoins and now,it seems that they provide their service for users of all the african nations.

it is first time to know about Bitkoin.Africa anyway like you say Africa is good place for bitcoin and it will support bitcoin with huge demand in future (Because Africa is rich with many source which will be real bitcoin mining )

Hhahahahha, Really?

Zimbabwe, one of the poorest country in the world is using bitcoin more than it's own currency.
Let me ask you this:

1. With 16 million people, how do they manage to get their turn having a confirmed tx with 400k daily worldwide transactions?
2. How can the world poorest afford to pay what is now an average fee of 7$ to buy food?

The average worker (!!!!) , the guy that has a job (only 30% of the population does), is making only enough to pay a tx a day.

Get real and stop with the unicorns.

You are right. But BTC is one of working money saving methods for local community, isn't it? Zimbabwe currency is more volatile than bitcoin price, so the local middle class, if we can call it so, can hold money in cryptocurrencies.

Hi there 999sever666! Its good to hear that Africa is going with the trend of cryptocurrency. The good thing about the whole blockchain technology is its broad user spectrum. Anyone on the earth with a good internet connection could hop in and join in the cryptocurrency era. And that good thing with Africa is its power to invent new strategies to be famous in the world and that P2P digital assets exchange is one example of its. I hope that there are more country that will follow the initiative done by the said country.

Yes,i think bitcoins would be more helpful for the people of most african countries who suffer from poverty.Kenya is the first african country to adopt bitcoin mostly.At irst,bitpesa was started in 2013 which provided a platform between african countries and other world countries to make the payments in bitcoin which made the transaction fee to get reduced to almost 50%.Nigeria,ghana and south africa are the other nations which provide friendly environment to bitcoin.Bitkoin.Africa at first allowed nigerians to buy and sell bitcoins P2P but now,it allows almost all african nationalsto do so.

Rather than for poverty, long back itself people started to use bitcoin for the purpose of business transactions die to the low currency value of the countries around Africa. At some point even after restrictions from government, people continued to use the same, which shows the positive impact they have got over bitcoin.

Is Zimbabwe in Africa? Pardon my dumbness is geography... but anyway, the last time I checked it, Bitcoin in Zimbabwe was double the price of Bitcoin in US. I will not doubt if the entire Africa will move to bitcoin very soon and leave the FIAT behind.

I believe Bitcoin was intended to spread the wealth.  Decentralization is the keyword here.  To read about Bitcoin being adopted in poor economies is heartwarming.  To allow countries that have been exploited and or deserted by centralized authorities to have an equal footing in the global economy really makes me optimistic that Bitcoin and its community is really doing some good in this world. 

This is really good news i think, not just for bitcoin but for all kind of cryptocurrency.
With this spreading, more people involve and make cryptocurrency more popular.

Africa is known to be a relatively mature market of crypto and bitcoin. I still know there are many ICO projects in Africa. Maybe the crypto market will change lives in African countries, if that happens I feel very happy.

This goodness has greatly contributed to the development of today's bitcoin, the values it gained thanks to the inclusion of such problems.

Its a very nice market though, and hopefully more countries will finally adopt the technology of bitcoin. Bitcoin is great technology that can help develop one economy.

Did you also the check where that price was listed and what volume?
It was a shady exchange  with a volume of close to 2BTC a day. That is going to take some time...

Check localbitcoins for the price, there is nothing special about price in Zimbabwe , just some that really try to scam people buying at 3 times the price. That doesn't mean you can't buy at close to market levels price.


How and please give some data on this!!!
Mature? Common, let's be serious.


No it wasn't. Sorry to burst your socialist dream but bitcoin will do exactly the opposite.
Those that have money now will get richer, the ones that can't afford to buy will stay poor.

Bitcoin is pure capitalism and free market, not state controlled socialism

There has been a misunderstanding.  Maybe it is the phrase 'spread the wealth'. Spread the power is better way to say it.  Individuals would gain power back from governments and corporations by owning and controlling their capital.

My personal belief is that Africa will be the beginning of the world domination of cryptos.. people(government) try and print money, use cryptos to maintain a balance.

Nice to hear that mate i think it was a biggest help to increase the demand and value of bitcoin, also bitcoin can helps to boost the economy of african country if many people are start earning money in the way of earning in crypto currency.

Hoping that it would happen in all country to make bitcoinife will be more stronger and it will continuous giving help to all people who really need money for daily purposes.

Bitcoins rising price is attracting investors from all over the world, African countries are not behind in it. Due to long lasting civil wars economies of African countries are devastated. As a result developing economies are allowing trading in bitcoins. In South Africa, cryptocurrencies like BitPesa, Bitfinance are gaining popularity. In Zimbabwe, Nigeria local merchants, traders and activists believe this new money as better alternative for their collapsed economy. But remote areas still have problems like connectivity; electricity etc. so there fiat currency is the only option. Signature Campaign, a bitcoin related activity will help to generate jobs in these countries.

A simple check on Google would have told you the part of the world Zimbabwe belongs to. Zimbabwe currently has one funny and unique economic system and won't doubt if the price is even triple in that part of the world. For the entire Africa moving to bitcoin just like that is something you really need to reconsider and its even going to be faster for the advanced countries to make that happen than Africa because the infrastructure, the basic education is still behind in Africa which the other countries have gone ahead with.

Africa is suffering from unemployment and poverty. Bitcoin would be a good selection for them to increase their wealth maybe. So it's as expected when they show a great interest to bitcoin.

Yes I agree with you. Bitcoin has gained momentum in Africa especially Nigeria. Nigerians and other Africa countries now purchase and store bitcoin for various reasons and the news of bitcoin keeps spreading daily. I believe soon African government will try and adopt bitcoin and other crypto currencies. 

It is really good news, both for Bitcoin and Africa. From the beginning, the idea was not only to give financial freedom, but also bank those who are not able to use modern financial services. "Bank the unbanked" is what most of us were trying to say from the very beginning. It is a sad fact that there are a lot of people who don't even have a bank account in Africa. Good news is that they no longer will need that. Because soon, Bitcoin will give them the opportunity to be their own banks.

Since the transaction fee is the same as the average monthly wage I very much doubt btc is going to be doing anything meaningful in Africa apart from allowing the rich to smuggle money out.

Good to know more people are aware about Bitcoins and joining this, however I see these new enthusiasts don't understand very well how things work here at Crypto-Currency world. They buy Bitcoins and invest in Ponzi schemes, trying to double their money in 10 days, consequently they lose all their Bitcoins and start spreading around Bitcoin is a scam, bla, bla, bla... And the "referrers" who bring these people to Crypto-Currency aren't very interested in explaining such details...

AHH  I used to live in South Africa  and I have a lot of freinds  on Facebook who still live there and out of the blue one of our old neighbours asked me about bictoins lol. Now I know why

Thats a very nice planned, because they gave chance  people in Africa, to entered in a Bitcoin. And thats a Big help for africans.

Great news! But actually, Bitcoin is gaining momentum in many countries of the world. It started to become a trend and that really hyped up since the last two quarters of 2017. And in my opinion, it's momentum will continue in the year 2018. A lot of people are saying that it is a bubble and it will drop dramatically. But I think it will continue to go up throughout this year and more years to come. I even believe it can reach $60 000 or even more.

Africa is one of the biggest countries in the whole world. Actually the moment happening in Africa is pretty good.
The bitcoin slowly dominating in Africa and builds its momentum to promote the cryptocurrency and their services to the people in Africa which leads them to increase the community of using bitcoin.

it's not surprising, considering that their currency is so devalued they will all turn to crypto

This is a great news, Africa could be fundamental for a further rise of bitcoin because is so big and could help many person of this country.

Bitcoin is gradually being accepted around the world, and I think this is good news for both bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market.

This will definitely affect the development of this region. There are countries with huge hyperinflation. Cryptocurrencies can help reduce unemployment and poverty.

It was a great idea of their leaders to let bitcoin penetrate in their country. Not only it helps their people but also to improved the old system into new and much better. This new system will help for them to develop their country and to weaken-up sleeping individuals to embraced this new opportunity for a chances to have a better life in the future.

Bitcoin is gaining momentum in many countries of the world, Bitcoin is gradually being accepted around the world, and I think this is good news for both bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market.
Africa is one of the biggest continent  in the whole world. Actually the moment happening in Africa is pretty good.
The bitcoin slowly dominating in Africa and builds its momentum to promote the cryptocurrency and their services to the people in Africa which leads them to increase the community of using bitcoin.

We should realize that as we use cryptos, we help these people especially from poor countries. We, the users of these coins make the price grow and in turn giving them the chance to make money from the coins that they are holding. The economy of these coins is based on how the world uses it, how the supply and demand moves. People are being saved by cryptos, the increasing benefits of these coins to people just implies that the government should support bitcoin!

Yeah I do appreciate African Countries will to change something in their countries, they didn`t have the chance with their fiat local currencies I hope they will make it with crypto.

I think africa will be the next country that will have big people which interested in cryptocurrency. they need a new change for their country and with cryptocurrency, I am sure that they can solve their economic problem. I think if they want to use cryptocurrency then they will have a big opportunity to be equal with another country because they have a big resource that we still don't know yet. every people in africa can join into cryptocurrency and that's mean, they have their chance to get money from cryptocurrency like other people. so I hope the other country will follow what africa do and in the future, we can see cryptocurrency will become globally.

the momentum seems to be just a brief experiment because I can not arbit to Africa, more and more countries are developing blockhcain technology using bitcoin hopefully this could be the trigger of bitcoin price increase.

This will help a lot in African countries that have an issue with money and the economy is collapsing. They start embracing it by having a perfectly good system in place. Bitcoin-related activities will also help create a job in these African countries. If done correctly these African countries will be a prime example that Bitcoin and the Government can co-exist each other.

Glad to hear this good news. Some of African countries have an issue with lack of economic development. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are proven helping people's economic especially in emerging country, reducing the number of unemployment. I remembered in the ico i had invested, there's a few african people who interested to invest in the ico. They asked how to buy bitcoin or altcoin in their country and stuff. The more bitcoin spreads, the higher bitcoin's price gets.

I hope that bitcoin will get a great momentum in Africa because for me it will not have a huge progress in the demand of bitcoin but it will be a huge help for themselves because if they will accept bitcoin then they will have a  good choice for the possible source of income for them that they can stick with.

I think Yes! Because bitcoin is uses in different part of our world and it is so easy to learn and invest in with a high profit everyday, the momentum will continue in it.

Wow, kudos for the ones who thought about this idea. They really hit the jackpot. Clearly, a lot of Nigerian people will be interested with cryptos because of poverty. Amd the promise of a life change is more than enough to make a lot of Nigerian people invest as much as they can. Even i would invest if i had the money. But I would at least study the mechanics first than to throw money mindlessly.

It is a good sign that bitcoin is already changing the world. Bitcoin is now in africa where , poverty is more than 50% of the entire africa's population.Bitcoin can affect on how they live, with partial financial freedom. It will help the country specially to the people of Africa , but is it risky ? specially to the seller that he sell bitcoin to a environment like that ? he/she might get kidnapped and steal his coins

This is not surprising for me. Africa has a population of young people and they like bitcoin and virtual coin concept. That's why they show high interest to bitcoin and other coins. This is nice for the community.

BITCOIN INTEREST AND ADOPTION IS TRENDING AMONG AFRICAN MILLENNIALS - found this news online today, i guess you would like to have a look at this piece
https://www.bitcoinmarketinsider.com/bitcoin-adoption-continues-to-thrive-within-africas-borders/

That is the beauty of blockchain and crypto. To overcome property and inplant financial inclusion for the world and everyone!

I do not know how africa gets momentum in bitcoin. but not in africa can take momentum but in different countries and popularity. Since bitcoin is a relatively new currency, when you compare it to national currencies that have been used for hundreds of years, it’s no surprise that people are sceptical of its stability.

It's a good news. African countries are unfortunately considered to be lagging behind in the world, and the fact that they actively use bitcoin and other crypto-currencies will definitely have a positive effect on the growth of the capitalization of crypto-currencies.

Bitcoin usage is dependent on Internet technology, the penetration of internet is still very low in Africa, this slows down the adoption.

That's a very good sign for the whole of the African continent. Africa is one of the continents with low income per head; but I strongly believe Africa would soon be liberated from extreme financial difficulties due to the rate at which they are accepting bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general

I also think so, all the current financial system needs to be completely changed. the lower strata of the population should not suffer because of officials. they get richer, and the poor get poor.

Bitcoin is getting more popular all over the world.
This because of the hype in social media over the price of bitcoin.

Its really nice to see that some underprivileged countries too are getting in the wagon of bitcoin. We cant expect btc to cover globe until it captures the smallest of the nations

good news for all of us as bitcoin users I'm sure bitcoin demand will spread to all corners of the world ..

Thats a really good thing. Africa is really going muchdeep into bitcoins and offcourse the country will have some benefits out of it like it will increase the economic growth of the country. Also many otheer countries have started accepting bitcoins by showing their intrest in bitcoins by developing bitcoin ATM, accepting bitcoins as a mean of payment. Hope this will help bitcoins to grow much more ahead and also serious bitcoins investors can have a good future if the same development continues.

BTC is growing fastly here in Nigeria and in Africa at large. There are scammers though but it doesn't take the shine off the growth of BTC. I hope we can continue to increase the awareness here and world over. BTC is the future

You can check some forums here in bitcoin talk and you would see that there are a lot of ICO's that is focusing in africa. Africa has a great business opportunity through ICO's and crypto currency. So I am not that surprised with the momentum they are having for africa.

This is an exciting concept as I have family in Tanzania and always root for the African people..Not only will Bitcoin take off in these countries [Nigeria, etc.] - but I already know of grassroots movements for coins like PIVX ! These grassroots movements really push the conversation on the ground floor and lead to faster business adoption.

You can say that again and again. Africa is not going to be left behind in this global financial services revolution. I meet and interact with people on a daily basis who are in Africa and are actively involved in the cryptoworld. It's amazing the enthusiasm and growing interest from Africa in bitcoin and blockchain technology. I just hope the various government in Africa help their citizens by providing them with the needed infrastructure such as constant power and data access to help sustain this growing interest

This is very good news for all of us and this shows that bitcoin is really hard to stop right now and that's why so many countries are talking about it recently. But I just want to question whether Africa is really ready for this tsunami? Have they set up their infrastructure? Internet and Electricity are there? Because if the majority of Africans have so many problems they face then how will they adopt bitcoin? They should be prioritized such as food, shelter and water before bitcoin is really beneficial to all of us

many countries will follow what Africa did with bitcoin and I am sure that bitcoin will spread in many places and cannot be stopped as long as the internet still exists. this is a good momentum that Africa did and I think the other country will learn about bitcoin and they don't want to be late to studied bitcoin. maybe it will help Africa to solve the poverty problem in their country so their country will try to grow and better than before.

You are not very smart are you? “Africa is one of the biggest countries in the whole world”.

No it’s not. It’s a fucking continent.

Bitcoin is gaining prominence in sub-Saharan and East Africa, where there is a shortage of banking services and sometimes these areas need crypto-currency to compensate for the lack of local currency. this is a good news.

The problem in making Bitcoins popular in Africa is that there the users are more likely to indulge in small and medium sized transactions. And due to the high transaction fee associated with Bitcoins, BTC is not very suitable for performing such transfers.

I think cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin are gaining momentum especially those with prices lower than $1 :) and becoming more popular everywhere as too many news each day are hitting our brains

Bitcoin is really showing that it's already the mainstream currency of the cryptoworld. It now started to reach in the third world countries like Africa and it is really a good news for them and hope their government will embrace the technology for good.

Debatable BTC gaining share in a market that’s struggling. Only the urban folks with power and electricity will bother with crypto

How the heck does crypto help deal with poverty and unemployment? You can’t even use crypto without electricity

at first, we have to know that what are the difference between Bitcoin and BitKoin.Africa, so far I know that Bitcoin is almost spreading out as a global currency but if BitKoin.Africa is being invented only for the African Countries then it wouldn't be popular outside of the African continent.

BitKoin.Africa is an exchange!!!!! Not a coin!!!!!
Spend at least 5 seconds to read the OP before posting, can you do that?


Nobody knows, but it's easier to dream then facing reality.
Bitcoin is the new Holly Grail that will.....do something :P
Too bad it will end like the Monty Python show


Hilarious!!!!!!!!
The US, Japan, the whole EU, will follow what Africa (which is no a country btw) does.
And then....the end of the world will be near.


But of course there are thousands of ICOs from Africa, after all, there are hundreds of Nigerian Kings, Queens, Dukes waiting to make us billionaires.

God, I love the delusion in this thread ;D

Happy to see growth of bitcoins and other crypto in Africa. This will also boost prices all over the world due to increasing demand.

According to reports and aggregate data from Google, Bitcoin is on the rise in Africa. Bitcoin is attracting investors in Africa, for example, in a typical group of investors such as Millennial in Africa, Catherine Byaruhanga of Uganda. For example, a young resident from Kampala, Peace Akware, hopes the bitcoin she has invested will increase enough for her to buy a car, maybe even buy the land someday. Another person from Kampala, Martin Serugga, is teaching electronic money in his weekly class with more than 50 attendees. Serugga teaches the class how to trade electronic money against Fiat used in the country.
Other reports also mention that since the economic and political crisis in South Africa began, locals began to search for Bitcoin. On this trading day, Etoro made a comeback in March when regional finance minister Pravin Gordhan lost his position. "In South Africa, the number of new users trading Bitcoins through Etoro increased 671 percent from January to the end of November last year over the same period in 2016, higher than the growth rate, '' said Mati Greenspan, an analyst. overall manager 574% ".

Yes indeed bitcoin is  gaining some amount of attention in the lands of Africans. Currently there are news that Kenya and Zimbabwe have installed Bitcoin ATM machines in their countries. I have also not heard that any African country has announced its opposition to digital currencies.

Precisely.

And we at InstaShift.io have launched our Peer to Peer Exchange for Nigeria last week.

Our system has a Unified Order Book & we do a Round-Robin matching.

Presently our trade volumes are on a Higher Note in India & Canada as well.

Africa is very much supportive of the Crypto-Community & we are delighted to start some good work for the region as well.

I think it is normal that Africa is looking for alternatives of money. The fees in the banking system are huge there and cryptos is the one escape how to not loose money.

Bitcoin is gaining serious momentum in Africa and nigeria also been the country that trades bitcoin the most. It is a good thing for bitcoin and cryptocurreency at large as this would improve lives in the life of its citizens and make make bitcoins more valuable.

It is good news for us because nigeria is a big country, with this all coins are rises if their economic was growing  and their government adopted it, it is a big factor for all in this business we can benefit it..

Saw a in reality fine video concerning YouTube approximately this. Bitcoin has not without help back going on individuals pardon themselves from giving out controls, but moreover the governments to pardon themselves from unfair economic authorize which have left Africa in a disrupted impression. Bitcoin is the chaos we have been waiting for.

This is a happy news for Bitcoin and cryptocurancy because now Bitkoin.Africa allows customers from all African countries to buy bitcoin, quickly and without problems.bitcoin gained momentum everywhere in the world. Still I think the Crypto currency market is in the early stages, few people in the world know about it. Thus, bitcoin demand will rise higher and higher day by day, as new people begin to learn what is Bitcoin.

A great news indeed. This was a great decision made by african people which may help them to build thers economy more stronger and therefore the economy will grow and the poverty in this countries may be lessen. That is one of the goal of bitcoin, to help.peopls all over the world at the same time give benifits to its users. Hoping fot he fast growth in economy of the said continent.

Few years ago, it was hard to read anything about Bitcoin in Africa as a whole but recently, the rise of Bitcoin is on the move. Blogs and news platform are publishing the terrific rise of Bitcoin now. Its very know now in Africa. We are glad for this improvement

That is not true no wholesalers or retail store here in Nigeria accept payment in any currency other than fiat. bitcoin are only used here to pay for subscription services and to buy other online services but locally it is not yet use as a medium of payment. digital currency have always been use widely in Nigeria back then since the time of liberty reserve and generally Nigeria is first to known in Africa when it comes to adopting technology such as africa due to their versalitity and there presence on the internet.

I have not use your website before but i want to believe you will have good customer support because that is the most important aspect of the business. Nigerian dont have patient when it comes to issue that prompt to contact customer care for their problem to be solved and ones there is delay in response it might be something else. also your website will face competition from some Nigerian based website offering the same services such as instantgold.ng that has been in the business since the beginning of time.

in some countries in Africa very high inflation! residents of these countries have found a solution to this problem, they began to store their money in crypto coins! Africa very much needs an information revolution, as well as in a new payment system!

Africa has good and honest people, what kind of domination? I think bitcoin in Africa has no problem people there are also good

Africa is now able to buy and sell bitcoin or cryptocurrency without any hassles. This is a great benefit to the customer. By doing this they can be successful.

This is a good news. I am happy to read this and I would like to hear more about it. Bitcoin can do some good in Africa by helping with the social issues. Investors could earn money and help their families. The problem is that the majority of people do not have access to computers and the internet. How is it possible for them to buy crypto? Nigeria is doing a good job for Africa as many said. My question concerns the security aspect. Talking about p2p, how do they ensure the security of transactions?
Anyway, it is great to see Africa joining crypto. It is a young continent and Crypto can help them more than fiat money. They just need to develop their infrastructure.

Bitcoin will grow in Africa for sure but might take a while due to poor economy and governance.

I love hearing or reading this kind of news and it really makes me overwhelmed. This is a great achievement for bitcoin because it's being recognized. Well this is just the start and the best is yet to comecome so let's all hope that it will have a long life in africa. I think this must serve as an inspiration to others and should be remodeled.

Of course, Africa is one of the continents with the fast-growing population of Bitcoin ethusiasts. Although most of the governments still remain neutral about the legitimacy of Bitcoin, the people are still positive on the patronage of Bitcoin and most businesses have integrated its usage in their payment systems.

I agree with you, internet is a major problem in Africa, most can't afford to buy data, no wifi, Uganda government placed a high tax on internet and that's makes impossible for most of them to be on the phone internet.

This goodness has greatly contributed to the development of today's bitcoin, the values it gained thanks to the inclusion of such problems.

Africa was receiving digital forms of money because of the estimation of their fiat, at some point they need to trade their fiat to USD to purchase or to do exchanges. Be that as it may, with the assistance of these advanced cash, they can do exchange substantially speedier

Inflation is rampant in Africa, and more and more young people are beginning to understand the hopes that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can bring. Many young African professionals have used Bitcoin as their sole means of income or as a supplement to their normal wages.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Bitcoin is clearly the natural enemy of inflation.

This is a great move by the Africans, looking forward to see Bitcoin growth in Africa which will change the level of poverty as one of the issue facing by the region and P2P transaction still need to be very careful with because of the level of scammers, and the domain need a kind of security that will gives buyer and seller a kind of rest of mind for not loosing their fund by using a kind of escrow for check and balance .

I think it's a good news. Bitcoin Love John It's very important news. Currently Bitcoin is an important coin. Bitcoin is known as a digital currency. Some countries may oppose it. But Bitcoin can keep its market rates and move forward further, one of the evidence is that Bitcoin Mobility in Africa is to achieve. I think Bitcoin is good news for traders.

 Yeah i see that Africa is not exception when it comes to crypto and countries like South africa is among the pioneer nations in Africa. The rate of bitcoin popularity is on the run in Africa and no wonder to see such a thing in africa. The world should really  watch out for Africa in real bitcoin issues because its sparkling like never before with bitcoin in Africa.

I agree, currently, crypto currency is growing more and more in the world, everything is going into circulation, everything is growing and developing as well and the crypto-currency market is growing and does not want to lag behind.

Yes the adoption in Africa is always been lead by Nigerian who has the largest cryptocurrency traders and investors in Africa before we can now be talking of other countries like South Africa, Kenya, Ghana and few from the north African are among.

yes, I agree with you, maybe bitcoin hasn't been well received in some countries, but one day bitcoin will enter countries that are now rejecting it because bitcoin now receives more and better. And I'm sure bitcoin is getting better the system. And bitcoin is also a profitable business if we explore and understand it.

I don't think that Africa could be helped by bitcoin sincerly

The best part of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is the availability for each and everyone around the world at the same time. It brings the uniformity on a global scale that defines the fundamental principle of democracy by focusing on equality. I am sure that we will see a better picture down the road and we will be able to use the single currency around the globe to pay for the bills for goods and services.

This will surely help for the capacity of Bitcoin user to continually perform in the internet. This good news might contribute to the future of Bitcoin which believed to be be acknowledge by the people. As it enter to the process of development, people also begin to understand the importance of this procedure in the society.

I really appreciate the effort and skills of innovators who truly dedicated to improve the quality of life for us.

Bitcoin will gain more momentum going if the have electricity and good internet connections like the WiFi.
Electricity is one the biggest problem most African countries have including Nigeria and looking in that sector will as will grow the economy.
Internet communications is another problem in Africa. For the countries like Uganda, internet connection is very expensive because their government placed a high task for internet browsing.
This is keeping Africa behind.

Sometime they have to exchange their fiat to USD to buy or to do transactions. But with the help of these digital currency, they can do transaction without hassle and much faster ways.

It seems to me that Africa is good news. Why considering the development of new technologies only in developed spaces. The world of connecting and distributing possibilities is bitcoin.

very lucky investors who settled or lived in the country, whereas, in my country bitcoin or other crypto currencies the government has not fully legalized the transaction

Africa very quickly began to gain momentum in the development of the cryptocurrency in their regions. Also read in Africa is planned to put one of the largest mining farms that will run on wind farms. In addition to the fact that wind power plants will produce electricity, they will also change the climate in some regions for the better.

Nice to know how bitcoin tend to become popular in a country like Africa. In addition to this is a great thing that it can actually give an ease in using bitcoin to their country men or making it accessible and easy to have.

Bitcoin's popularity correlates with the state of national currencies. The worse the currency performs, the more people invest in btc.

I love that Bitcoin and crypto in general getting more and more recognized. Good that people in Afrika are supporting and embracing the opportunity. Hopefully we will see this kind of adoption all around the world soon.

this is a great news in crypto and i wish this can help the resistance of bitcoin since the price is currently dump right now and also i wish many people will support ethereum as well like how they support bitcoin . I wish africa will develop a big community that truly support cryptocurrency and many people will be help with the crypto

Agreed, because am also from Africa precisely from Nigeria.
I can bodly tell you that bitcoin is really gaining ground in nigeria more than what it's some years back. Could you believe that some project are coming up into blockchain really soon if not now in Nigeria. Watch out world.

I love that Bitcoin and crypto in general getting more and more recognized. Good that people in Afrika are supporting and embracing the opportunity. Hopefully we will see this kind of adoption all around the world soon.
