Bitcoin's eye-watering price surge over the past year is proving too tempting to resist despite fears that cryptocurrencies are a bubble floating towards an inevitable burst. One group for whom it holds particular appeal is African millennials, writes the BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga from Uganda.
Thirty year-old Peace Akware in Kampala is a convert to the cryptocurrency craze.
Like any self-respecting middle class millennial here her smartphone is always within reach and with it her digital wallet.
"I check my Bitcoin every day and any chance I can get.
Any minute, any hour, anytime, as often as I can," she tells me from the small bungalow she rents on the outskirts of Kampala.
This really does show the power of cryptocurrency as providing unique solutions to fast transactions across the globe without expensive middle men and charges - something which is in huge need in third world countries with struggling currencies. I think the acceptance in those countries will be faster than in countries with stronger and more established financial systems, despite the technological advancements in those countries.
