KENYA STARTS BUILDING A BLOCKCHAINVery good news to us all if you ask me. I pray this opens the floodgates of other countries to join the bandwagon and start their own blockchain. this validates the need for BITCOIN and many other service providing crypto currenciesSo just 2 weeks ago a government in Africa has appointed a team to lead in their task force to help them create a Blockchain Technology.
Their blockchain will be used to run or service all the government services online and mostly the Land ministry of the country.
The Kenyan President opened a forum for crypto currency and the country's Minister for Information who is also touted as having the largest BITCOIN amount in the county revealed the team that was appointed to help build the Blockchain Technology for his country.
Here are a very good read links to this story. I will keep updating you all for i feel this is good news to us all who have invested in the Cryptocurrency world.
I know that Kenya is a third world country and her acceptance may not carry much weight as does the ban by the US government but any effort really does help.
Kenya is the gate way to East Africa and many countries or government in Africa will copy this once the kenyan Blockchain is a success.
In the past other government including first world have copied Kenya's Mobile money Transfer called M-Pesa and China studied a micro finance Bank called Equity that is indigenous in Kenya.
Kenyan President just launched block chain technology taskforce. They are building their blockchain to help run all the government service especially the Land ministry.
