THE USE OF BLOCKCHAIN AS POTENTIAL IN AFRICA COUNTRIES

As much as Africa is a potential place for blockchain, creating solutions to tackle some of the problems faced in the continent, for example, countries like Nigeria, seems to be creating setback for the sector as they erect policies that curtail the activities of blockchain.

While some are hostile, other countries like Ghana and Ethiopia see the technology as the right innovation to embrace.

Bitland has been providing solution to the prominent land fraud situation in Ghana, using Bitshares blockchain to provide land registry service.

Ethiopia, in the same line, has also been roaming around blockchain technology lately. Last year, a UN conference centred on blockchain technology was held in the capital city of the country. Sometimes last year, it was aired that Ethiopia is creating a blockchain technology.
