Man, Josh. Solid post. Spot on, as usual. I have been thinking about Nigeria a lot lately, since there are a lot of Nigerians in the BTC/Steemit community, I have befriended a few. They are some of the most honorable and fun to talk to people I have met, and I am glad that the Nigerian crypto-community is on the rise. It's sad when BTC has to be seen as a safe-haven against government monetary corruption, but it's good that we have an alternative, at least.
Check out this interesting graph I found, showing how Nigeria is climbing steadily in the Bitcoin world since the beginning of 2016. here
Check it out, they are doing almost 3.5mil USD weekly, just on LBC alone!
