Hi All.
You'll all be glad to know Kenya Bitcoin exchange @MyBitX islive in East Africa http://bitx.co.ke
YaaY
A question on possibility of the blockchain for Central bank issued digital currency? is this feasible? It seems logical. Re Ecuardo
Thanks Adam
It's great to get feedback from North Africa. Morocco, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa, Ghana - I'm hoping this list grows and to have word from the ground on what's going on - besides the web of course. Is there talk of virtual currency as a solution problems? merchants, remittance service? developers?
Thanks for posting!
@bernhard @William Here's an article on Bitcoin startups in Ghana, Kenya, South Sudan & South Africa http://goo.gl/lsbHDR
Hopefully, one will come up close to where you are (Morocco) soon!
Thanks for posting Bernhard I've been wondering what's the bitcoin community & activity like in North Africa? Do you have any bitcoin perspectives from Morocco you can share?
@harry-the-hippo I was just reading about BitPesa. I hope that more of these types projects come online and we can really see the global economy feel free.
Yes! BitPesa have done a great job at breaking the barrier by setting up a bitcoin based start up in Kenya. Hopefully, more will follow
Here's a Coinbrief article Debunking myths about Kipochi, Mpesa in East Africa http://goo.gl/VSTJqA
*disclaimer, i did the article.
sure. it's one of the reasons I put up this thread. I'll be glad to
Would you be interested in sharing your African perspective on the Crypto for Change blog I've just started on LTB, in return for LTBcoin? This could be either as an occasional guest blogger or as a regular contributor.
I'd definitely be interested. It'd have to be occasional. Its chimes with why I set up this thread! I've been planning on putting up something for the LTB community from my perspective. I'm still learning my way around the new community rewards & content scheme. Can in get in touch in the next few days?
Coming from Nairobi Kenya (East Africa) and an avid fan & listener of the LTB show, I hear and read a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about bitcoin and how/what it can do for developing countries including Africa.
I can't speak for the whole of the 'developing world' but, I and others, can help clear out misinformation on bitcoin in East Africa. If there are other Africans out there on the LTB network, please chip in and share.
While it is great that bitcoin can enable the African continent, and I believe it can, it's also important to get the facts straight. Here is one misleading title & article
“One third of Kenyans now have a Bitcoin Wallet” – was a misleading title on an article about Kipochi.
I decided to set up this thread for discussion, links to materials and posts on the subject
