Africans have always been aware about crypto and have always been making use of it for the past few years, there came a point in time that an african company known by the name Nigeria was the 3rd largest country that traded crypto as some point in 2017.
Hence, Africans has always been aware about crypto, one thing I know about Africans is that they love to adopt real technology quickly, though not the government but their citizens, the government always think about what they have to gain before adopting any technology.
Nigeria is a great country that you can really trust with things like these, especially their citizens, although I learnt that their government is selfish and care more about themselves, that is why I feel the African government may not really buy into crypto, since they believe that it may really not favor them or be able to exploit people through it.
I am glad that Nigerians are adopting it and if the 3rd largest country can do, then other African countries might follow its part too, seeing them as the giant of Africa I head that they are. So, crypto will really grow a lot in Africa.
