When bitcoin is likely to replace dollars in some african countries.

What we see is a need for a middle man for all the payments.
And in Uganda there are some shops that are accepting bitcoin as payment as i read in one of the posts from @ireneblessing.
It can help trade with other currencies which never used to be easier. The fluctuations have been the source of income for most of these people who are using bitcoin for trades and occasionally storing their funds.
Although it's a risky behavior as some african leaders are cautioning most youths who are engaging in without clear knowledge.

The Bitpesa CEO pulled some insights on the ghanian way of handling bitcoin at the moment.

Some multinational companies engaged in the services of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and crypto currencies are predicting that Ghana will be the first country on the continent to accept bitcoin as payment scheme.

It's likely that Ghana will be one of the first continents to push the blockchain technology even further. I think it's a good think when most african countries embrace this technology without having to suffer the fear of change with a sudden shift in technology in the whole world.

She observed that the currency can help reduce exchange rate volatilities in African countries by making local currencies stable.

But bitcoin has played a very big part in unstable financial systems in most african countries.
One of which is Zimbabwe which from the records experienced one of the highest inflation.
During this period people turned to bitcoin for a value like sort of thing in their currency.

With our fingers crossed many of us are waiting for what bitcoin brings.
We can as well go with this civilization when this happens. Hoping the most concerned issues could be adressed in a clinical way.
