OmegaStarScream put forth a good argument, I don't know how it is going to be in North Africa though, very unstable government in that region, but we will see how bitcoin or crypto in general will break that barriers in the next coming years.
Well, we don't really have anything to lose but a lot to gain. In the end, mostly it just requires an event like this to trigger a lot of innovation in a region that by nature is very conservative. This might be the trigger they needed to actually build something of value. The liquidity that will become available might be peanuts for western standards, but there it's one heck of an achievement.
I can only welcome this form of adoption. Over-regulating industries or banning something that brings innovation is similar to shooting yourself in the foot, so this is an unexpected surprise. North African countries are the ones that are in need of innovation and economical growth the most, and this is the easiest way to go.
