This is wonderful news for the community. This hopefully increases demand. With the crisis in Zimbabwe that saw bitcoin trade at prices more than 20% higher than global prices. We can see whether its bad or good news, the bitcoin prices goes higher. Bitcoin surely deserves all the recognition it can get. I'm just hoping that recognition doesn't attract more organized scams like the 419 scams. But hey, we already have enough of those. That won't be anything new.
Read the news again, as I said it just a few posts higher...
There is absolutely NO mention about bitcoin in those articles, just about digitization and the blockchain technology.
Did a little background checking of the news and have found out a recent interview or
news report with Musa Itopa Jimoh on September 15, 2017 and it looks like they are encouraging Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency because of their country's problem with their poor economic situation and many financial institution shutting down because of the rise of insurgency. At least that is how I viewed their situation.
As in the above articles, even in yours there is not a single mention of
BTC. Do a ctrl+f check on the article for bitcoin , 0 results.
They are just eager to create a state own crypto that they can control, that is their aim, the only way to prevent people exchanging their coins and notes for more stable currencies like the euro and dollar.
Once everyone has their funds in a centralized system you won't be able to "escape" and so they will achieve total control over the exchange rate which is plummeting.
Every dictator wet dream, control of everything.
