Will Africa be a good place for crypto?

[Umkar]

Africa is not only poverty, hunger, wildlife and ignorance, although to a greater extent it is true. For example, in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, there are many business centers where people with higher education work. The country's economy is developing rapidly and there are all conditions for the favorable development of cryptocurrencies. In order to better understand what development potential Africa has, I have collected several articles that I advise you to read:

I think Africa is not a good place for crypto, there are not many crypto users in Africa, I also look there are some projects from Africa like ''afrochain" ... and i think it is a low project, for now Africa doesn't have a big crypto community

No for me Africa is the best place because people are mostly educated only few people are not aware of this technology, I have been in Africa in 2016 at that time there were people who used crypto currency so now it is 3 years ahead you can imagine the difference, price is high and price difference is really good for us, Africa is not an old fashioned countries now.

if in africa they use or invest cryptocurrency it could be solution for each citizen to keep their fiat money value.as we know in africa inflation so high.and crypto can solution for this.

Africa is a great market for crypto currency, most people living in this region dont have faith over the conventional fiat. They tend trust crypto. The telcoin had boomed with African investment during the ico.

But knowing and applying for life and daily use are different stories, and so as you say, they can be educated and know about this technology but the rate they will join and use, it seems to be very low because from many different sources of information, even through google, you can see that Africa is still a very weak place to use and participate in these technologies, poverty and backwardness for a long time made them unable to adapt to new technology, perhaps they need more time for the economy to be better and more stable, and when things get better, Africa will be a good place for crypto.

Yes right, African population is very good for crypto development, especially most African currencies are not good so the presence of crypto can be accepted quickly, the biggest problem is the internet, because most places have not been reached by the internet.

[tadpole_bitfrog]

The success of digital wallets in the African continent was really great and based on what I've read on news articles about it, it really helped the economy and the businesses when it all started years ago.
With this in mind, will Africans be welcoming of bitcoin/altcoin as a real currency and not just a quick way to earn cash or invest? Like using it as real money / cash?

I believe that Africa will be able to do this miracle and their country can grow better. countries that support bitcoin will surely have a bright future and their country will have many million dollar technology businesses.

this situation is similar to Venezuela, where the level of inflation has been severe. with this legalization, of course, there will be more and more cryptocurrency users, thus helping to develop it

[DAVETUN]

Base on population advantage African countries adopting CRYPTO is a good  developmental for the sector,  technological development is on the increase and the educational level of individual is on the increase therefor African continent is a good  place for crypto.

[Kelvinikke]

Well the vision is to see cryptocurrencies being used globally as  medium of payment but i don't think Africa has the systems in place as at now to enhance the use of cryptocurrencies especially in countries that are in the West of Africa. South Africa is doing very well in the adoption of cryptocurrencies but in general let's give ourselves like the next 5 years to actually see the full adoption of cryptocurrencies in Africa.

If they really help for their econony it is good for them to use crypto or bitcoin in their country or continent. We know bitcoin is really helpful to rise ecobomy not only high but a little bit they have shares to rising ecobomy in one country.

I would prefer to hear specific facts, although you can always bring Japan as an example, which fully develops its cryptocurrency market and national cryptocurrency, while fully implementing Bitcoin.  But not all of the governments of countries think that way, because even India strongly resists the cryptocurrency market, where they want to impose criminal penalties for using cryptocurrency.  And how will the cryptocurrency be implemented in Africa, where even the level of education is very low?

[romero121]

African countries have begun to move towards the cryptocurrency usage for various reasons, the most important being the money value decline that they encounter. Days back the price of bitcoin in Zimbabwe have skyrocketed as the government have come up with regulations that Zimbabwe currency alone need to be used on every needs.

Usage of USD is termed illegal, with this the eye have turned towards bitcoin and the same got reflected on the price reaching $75000+ per bitcoin on the localbitcoins.com which show the pure growth of bitcoin usage around the country.

Every place is a good place for crypto. I wouldn`t make a difference between places and people, crypto is for everywhere and for everybody. It`s without borders, without discrimination, is it so hard to understand? People try to put crypto in some frame but it`s impossible. Stop doing that and accept it is as it is.

I am not from Africa but what I am sure of is that crypto is good for everyone. It does not belong to a chosen people. It is built for everyone, regardless of the continent you are from, the language you are speaking, the race you belong to, and so on. The problem is, Africans, each one of them, should have first and foremost the access to internet, to basic services like electricity, and all so that they will be able to enjoy the benefits of technology.

I agree with your opinion. I also feel that crptocurrency is suitable for all places, not only in Africa, but throughout the world, depending on who receives and uses it. if Africa uses this technology, I think that can be the right thing, it's just that this requires knowledge of information technology, and of course fast networks. If Africa fulfills that, I think it's worth trying. I'm sure this will be very useful.

Yes thats true  . cryptos are created for all people/countries but the problem is that every country has its own president or government and they are the ones that can decide first if what is good and bad for thier people  .  they can ban cryptos whenever they wanted to and you as a regular individual cant do anything about it  .

Anyway , i dont see any illegalities of cryptos on africa but i cant decide if its a good place for cryptos  or not  . some can conduct a survey on that country to see their perfromance

It will be a difficult thing to answer today,  because the African continent do not have a good economy. Majority of the people there are poor. So that it is better if they have the goal of earning money first. Then they can invest in bitcoin and with this we can say that this is the perfect time for the bitcoin to become the currency.

I agree, because since this is their problem. They have a problem such as poverty and not all people are not educated. But maybe this is their chance to know about crypto currency. I think not just in Africa is a good place but the majority of all countries should be.

right, not only Africa but the whole world. we know bitcoiner in the world is still small, and dominated by developed countries. In Africa, I don't think too many have known about cryptocurrency, because of limited facilities and human resources in Africa

Africa has good user community for bitcoin. But due to the lack of proper knowledge more scams striked the market. This served as a negative thing for bitcoin, but the situation changed as people got into using cryptocurrencies in large scale mostly for purchases as they cannot carry huge funds in fiat as the fiat in Africa is under inflation.

We must not talk about Africa as a country. This is a continent with many countries, extremely poor, and very rich. It will be strange to compare, for example, Nigeria and South Africa, or even the Central African countries where people live without civilization with Kenya, on on the largest tourists places in the world.

Bitcoin is already used there, as many foreigners come to the Black Continent.

Of course it would be a good place for cryptocurrency. As long as the government will encourage their citizens to dig deep into crypto and study more about what it can contribute to the society then they would be good. Also, as long as people accept the innovation crypto can give to them it would be a better place for cryptocurrency.
