WOW top 1000 websites in Morocco is from e-coin. I would like to know what that is all about? Good to see traction though.

As far as I'm told, lots of people are flocking to Bitcoin and debit cards there to avoid capital controls.

No further details were provided for now though.

Pretty interesting. But what is the reason? And furthermore I would like to see some more stats proving this. Is there an actual inner crisis going on or something like that?

from the post:

One of the main reasons why E-Coin’s Bitcoin debit card is getting so much interest from Moroccan citizens is due to the fact it is not linked to one particular bank.
