>Adoption: our goal for Bitcoincash is to be used as money, we are able to get people to use it as people transacting people using it via platforms that accept Bitcoincash .
>
People will use whatever works, and Bitcoin cash works, Nigerian Government and Policies have forced people to exchange value via Cryptocurrencies, International Payments : Most people in Nigeria can not transact international above 20$ using their credit cards, and for most of the fintech platforms like PayPal, cash app etc don't work in Nigeria either,
- We've guided thousands of people on how to transact with Bitcoincash, introduced them to platforms where they can earn and also use bch ,
- We are working hard to provide an easy solution for Merchants not only in Nigeria but Africa at large, most businesses will love to have readymade all-in solutions that they can accept, and exchange, and also Have a business inventory system,
what we've worked on is collecting feedback from major stores / Businesses in the country on accepting Crypto payments.
- we created Paysats an all-in-one platform for Bitcoin Cash where you can live your Everyday with BCH, from Paying Airtime, Mobile data, Electricity, water, Transportation etc
Paysat is still in beta, we've tested most of the services being integrated with bch and all works Perfectly, working to see it launch to the public ..
*Through Bitcoin Cash Platforms such as Read. cash / Noise.cash we are able to onboard thousands of people*
- We are working on Building Ideas that will bring in thousand / Millions of people to use bitcoin cash, we believe people will use Bitcoincash if we provide use cases for them, in different aspects/sectors Education / Gaming / Utilities etc
> Moving in 2023 we will see a new wave of Bitcoin cash Users in Nigeria Due to the Government's Strict Policies on Cash Withdrawal in the Country and the Implementation Of CDBC which the general public have no interest in using.
