Bitcoin in Africa is almost unkown , Expect little number of countries . African are so under develope that they don't have water how could they have BTC ? Althougth can really help them in money transactions and fast receive donations ,,, How are there over a billion of them if they don't have water? Hard to live without H20. Africa is the second largest continent on the planet. Not all of it is the infomercials you see on TV asking for 30 cents a day. |

We might be seeing a surge of mass adoption of bitcoin there in Africa if everything went smoothly.
They already have a good implementation of mobile money and BTC is just the next step with the infrastructure already set.
I was expecting this to happen since 2 years back, when the major impact of bitcoin I used to hear was in Africa, allowing payments to be sent from all over the world, for zero fees. Don't know why that didn't happen. ^This was the consensus a few years back. Bitcoin would have the most impact in the most underdeveloped countries who don't have access to banking. People in first world countries don't have a need for bitcoins, it is either used as a speculation vehicle or as a store of value. Those who buy with bitcoins are really doing it to support bitcoin and just for the lulz. The only things bitcoins are truly needed for in developed countries is drugs, gambling and related activities. No need for anyone in first world countries to adopt bitcoins unfortunately. But there is a real need in countries with unstable currencies like most African countries. Those saying the Africans are just poor and bitcoin cant help them or whatever are failing to see that these are the people that would adopt bitcoins the fastest once they can have access to them. One of the selling points of bitcoins is that it would level the financial playing field so that not only those with access to traditional banking methods benefit but everyone. |

Except he posted that yesterday so they should be launching today. Time for a sick day imo  Except he posted that although he could open up today he thought it would be better to do so tomorrow as the team will be rested and could better handle anything that might arise.  I hate using sick days when I'm sick. Lucky for me I don't get sick days  lol you are reading the date and time wrong, he posted that yesterday, they should be opening up today. He posted on 2/25 Ok boys. Helluva a few weeks there.
We are ready tomorrow. Bitcoin Poker 2.0 will likely start 2/26/2015 in the late afternoon local Antigua time.
I was tempted to release a client tonight and start resetting accounts and running freerolls but we're going to wait until the team is fresh tomorrow and then blast your faces.
and said it would start today 2/26 in the afternoon antigua time. |

Using http://www.bitwage.co I am getting paid 100% in Bitcoin so most of my spending is in Bitcoin. As I find more useful sites I will post the links and write up a quick review. Post here if you have some useful sites for every day Bitcoin spending (not obscure "you can buy knitting needles at this place online" links). BitWageIf you are working in the US and you get your salary direct deposited you should try this site. They work with payroll companies to convert your paycheck to bitcoins. Most companies allow you to break your paycheck into multiple direct deposit accounts with a percentage in each account. I suggest you try the site and at least do 5-10% of your paycheck converted to bitcoin to see how convenient it is and useful for having bitcoins to spend. This was the most interesting thing for me, i already knew of most ways to spend my coins but did not know of a way of getting my paycheck in coins. Anymore insight into using bitwage? Which exchange rates do they use? |

Before we could see widespread integration and adoption of bitcoin in Africa, we must first see at least some progression in terms of urbanization. Africa is a poverty-stricken continent, and a lot of crooked politicians and wealthy crime lords make money in that place. The people in Africa needs help, and bitcoin can help in some way.
What does crooked politicians and crime lords have to do with it? Crooked and politician are synonyms, its like that in every country. Please explain why we must see progession in urbanization before integration of bitcoins? M-pesa is a huge success in places like Kenya, bitcoin only needs to be integrated into something like m-pesa and Africans will be using it without even knowing. Are you guys only reading posts and not the links provided? |

The only people in Africa that I want to use Bitcoin are the drug lords, corrupt politicians and South Africa. They can invest money from the stolen UNICEF rice and gold/diamond deposits. No one else there has any money.
So you don't want 1.1bn people to use bitcoins? What about the $60bn African migrants sent home in 2013 with an alarming 12% fee? http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/jan/30/africans-pay-most-send-moneyI don't care if they use it or not. The average household income of sub-saharan Africa is roughly $60 a month. The 50 or so crooked politicians and cartels have more disposable income than the rest of the African citizens combined. I'd really like to see them take to Bitcoin. What about the millions of African abroad who send Billions to Africa? I'd love to see corrupt income disparity end in Africa. Then Bitcoin could be really useful for rural areas with cell coverage but limited internet infrastructure. In the last 60 years I've heard of no advances in that direction. Bitcoin can't fix the problems of crime, extortion and bribery in Sub-Saharan Africa. What they need first is urbanization and industry to spread like wildfire. Then maybe Africa has a chance. If you just want Bitcoin to be used there then you want to target the wealthy crooks of Africa. The poverty stricken can't help you and Bitcoin can't help them unless the criminals accept payoffs in Bitcoin or there is a multitude of exchanges spread across the depressed areas of Africa. Africans lose about $7.5 billions a year to the likes of western union. I think keeping that money in their pockets by using bitcoins can both help us in the bitcoin community and the poverty stricken in Africa. http://sendmoneyafrica.worldbank.org/en/feature-storyThose of us in first world countries don't really need bitcoins, unless there's an economic collapse, because we have options. Those in third world underdeveloped countries are the ones who can benefit the most from bitcoins. http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21581995-western-worries-about-money-laundering-are-threatening-economic-lifeline |

Don't know why that didn't happen. Exactly but if you think about how hard it still is for those in technologically advanced countries to aquire bitcoin imagine in africa. But that's the point of this thread, could we finally be seeing the start of of that major impact? m-pesa is a very popular platform for Africans http://www.pymnts.com/in-depth/2015/m-pesa-and-the-secret-of-mobile-payments/#.VO9Fiy7hCHs if bitcoin can find its way into Africa through m-pesa then that could be huge for bitcoins. |

Time will tell. Africa usually lags behind in everything, so I'm not really expecting mass adoption there before it happens in the west and east.
The problem is that the west and east have alot of banking options available so they have no need for bitcoins where as the underbanked in Africa get fucked every day with remittance fees and have very few banking options, so bitcoins can satisfy a real need. |

How does the first deposit bonus work? What are the requirements for clearing the bonus? Will i be unable to withdraw my balance until the bonus is cleared? Does rakeback work for sng's and mtt's or just for cash games? Thanks for your time |
