RE: South Africa joins the party

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Great to see the increased adoption of Bitcoin in South Africa. I was so glad to attend when Andreas Antonopoulos came to the Blockchain Africa expo that was held earlier this year, that man is a Crypto Maestro. He makes the most technical aspect universally understandable.

Here's to South Africa and many other developing nations finding out about Bitcoin sooner rather than later, and may those people who are new to it embrace it because it is the future!

Imagine when a country like Kenya, who has 40% of its GDP stemming from Mpesa (who is owned by western union and charges the poorest people in the World over 20% a transaction) find out about Bitcoin and the fact that they can send money abroad in the form of foreign remittances for only a few cents! I love being a part of this disruptive ecosystem that is re organizing everything by simply making what doesn't work for the majority obsolete!
