Great news in South Africa! I'm a little curious how the exchange BitX will trade on it's own exchange though?

Africa holds a lot of promise for Bitcoin. But we need to find the best method to utilize that potential.

Yea 30 000 seems like a small percentage, but it's a huge start and a world first for payment processors. ;D Just need to see how they going to regulate it. |
