Africa lately Is looking for more ways of Investments and payments and found in Crypto the opportunity to fullfill those queries. The Traditional Methods Of International Payments online are banning in mass certain Countries and let life of Young unemployed Persons that are Working Online to get paid For their jobs.

That is one of the important reasons that let Africans to start looking for better options or solutions to continue their online career and get paid for their efforts. Africa is becoming the most Trending Continent looking for Bitcoin,as seen On Google .

The Top Country In Africa Searching for Bitcoin On Google Is Nigeria. 

Nigeria start looking for better solutions to get income from Internet as the Traditional Online Payment processor like PayPal banned the Country due to Some users that was acting Fraudulent according to This Payment Processor Company...and That Galvanized The Hunting for Crypto From Nigerians

To refer, that In the Continent there are 3 Countries where the Crypto "fever" is ongoing and that will catapult the other ones to follow them:

  •  South Africa ,where almost 10.7% of the Adult population own some kind of crypto; Nigeria , 7.8% of the adults own some crypto and Ghana with 7,3% Of the People having some Crypto.

South Africa have Developed the best conditions to the crypto adoption as the Reserve Bank is seeing This Field as a new environment that could be explored more special the Blockchain not opposing In any instances the adoption of Cryptocurrency for now, Major volume in Bitcoin Trading and have the more number of Bitcoin ATM's in the Continent.

Nigeria has the best startups that have authorization for the Central Bank of Nigeria to operate Cryptocurrency, like the Flutterwave that partnered with Binance and Ripple. 

South Africa and Nigeria are the Giants In the Field but there are lot more Countries involved besides Ghana that occupy the 3rd position like,Uganda, Zimbabwe, Djibouti ,Kenya...that have a preponderance In the Crypto Field.

Africa is slowly emerging to Crypto and with the whole environment Behind it surely will become the Future of Cryptocurrency as the most Governments are not seeing any problem with Crypto...where the majority of the Adult population doesn't have a Bank account only store money in mobile wallets, there is are good environment to the Development of Cryptocurrency in Continent.

How Bitcoin Cash (BCH) can secure space in Africa.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) among Africans are common mistakenly with Bitcoin (BTC) and, as I heard and followed most of my fellow Africans when purchasing BTC (mostly using bank cards, with no experience in crypto, and trading...not covering countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana..,that got advanced literacy in crypto) mistakenly got BCH...fun isn't, this error happens and they end dumping the asset in the market!

But why that happen... And how to end with that behavior?!

It's clear that the main reason to the dump happen, is because mostly doesn't have literacy in Bitcoin cash (BCH) as I said in one of my posts, it's needed a School to learn the benefits of Bitcoin cash (BCH) as a P2P electronic cash.

Many people who live outside Africa, unfortunately think that, the continent is still in " Era of Monkeys" but there are so many startups here that are dedicated to Cryptocurrency but still lack, in BCH teaching.

Bitcoin Cash BCH it's oblivious more cheaper, faster and payment asset... Bitcoin is more "used as digital Gold" is slow with high fees in the transactions.

And when the Africans realize that BCH will be hugely adopted, as most are looking for cheaper ways to pay and secure their wealth... Those e-wallets Transactions are not cheap as BCH is!

Still time to learn more about Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as, one benefit is that in Africa no country has a official Cryptocurrency, no Regulations on the field and more and more startups being building.

I believe that for the concept of BCH the market is secured for the asset!

If you've read my article on BCH mass adoption by countries, you would have seen that Africa collectively has just 1.22%, a very low one for the whole Africa. Bitcoin, being the first crypto has really gained ground in Africa. Awareness for BCH is just coming up. Regarding Nigeria and Paypal, the latter has not totally banned the former. Paypal can still be registered by Nigerians, is only that your wallet balance can be spent online to make purchases. You can't withdraw it. Thanks.

I think Africans understand the difference between the US Dollar (USD) and the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL). They should also understand the difference between BTC and BCH.

Well that should but in many cases We have huge continent and some countries have more knowledge on Cryptocurrency and know the exact difference between the two asset (South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya,Ghana) many youngsters living in those countries in fact have some literacy ... But Africa is huge, and the people who are entering now to the crypto market, are just entering to invest, and knows only Bitcoin BTC and ETH most of them and always make some confusion between BTC and BCH... I will give an example of my country, people in here just think "investing in BTC will give them immediate ROI" they don't care about learning they want fast return and, most of them got literally scammed! I keep saying that because I know them☺ and for most fellow Africans as me only knows BTC as Cryptocurrency...that the reality!

I believe you. The 2017 bull run had many bad consequences. Many people wanted to get rich quickly and bought BTC overpriced. There were also many scammers. People must understand Bitcoin Cash primarily not as an investment but as p2p electronic Cash. This is not only true for Africa.

Absolutely right people need to understand the BCH p2p electronic cash and particularly here, understand this two assets, the "thing" that's happening in Europe, US about Scam business, is gaining traction in here because most people think BTC is a Mine of gold, it's just to buy it and it will grow, they don't have the power of Hodl just need fast cash... That will be a dangerous thing in Africa and already started with business here...pure scam, I will fight special in my country to teach them this 2 differences 📈.

We need to understand BCH in a more versatile way than BTC (electronic gold). George Donnelly has an interesting idea to use BCH for fiat remittances https://read.cash/@georgedonnelly/merchant-adoption-is-pointless-without-regular-growing-inflows-55ca9993
