Despite being Africa’s largest economy, over 40% of citizens of Nigeria live in poverty and Nigeria suffers from a double-digit inflation rate (16.5% in 2017).
As protests sweep across the country against Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and senseless killings from the Boko Haram insurgency, Nigerians are increasingly turning to bitcoin as a national currency.
Nigeria is by far the largest adopter of Bitcoin in Africa, with a 60% increase in usage since April.
Last week, Bitcoin hit an all-time high, beating its prior high from December 2017.
Most people would agree that the flagship cryptocurrency is in much better shape now than it was three years ago.
It boasts a massive portfolio of investors and a significantly higher market cap (due to mining).
In 2017, Bitcoin’s investors were almost all retail investors and speculators, but now, Bitcoin is attracting powerhouses like PayPal, Square, Grayscale, JP Morgan — who are betting Bitcoin will outperform gold over the next decade — and softer scrutiny from central banks and governments.
Institutional investors are now recommending 1-10% allocation to Bitcoin, as a
hedge against the falling U.S. dollar in the midst of the pandemic.
Some well-known investors are hedging as much as 75% of their net worth.
One of the biggest obstacles of Bitcoin is that it’s still hard to buy without a bank account.
Bu is there a way to remedy this?
