Close your eyes for a second and imagine what day-to-day financial transactions would look like in the next few decades.
There's a good chance you thought of some sort of cryptocurrency.
Whether we’re ready or not, the future of money is unfolding right before our eyes.
Let’s take Nigeria for example.
In the heat of the coronavirus pandemic, Nigeria's the economic landscape became more uncertain than ever.
Inflation and the devaluation of the naira made the cost of goods and services skyrocket.
But something interesting happened.
Early in the year, several crypto-based startups came up with innovative products to help Nigerians make sense of digital currencies.
And by the end of March 2020, Nigerian had rankedsecond highest in the global adoption of cryptocurrency.
In October 2020, Nigeria traded $32.3 million worth of Bitcoin, 247% higher than South Africa and 303% higher than Kenya which recorded $9.3 million and $8 million respectively.
These remarkable events have led us to a new conversation about digital currencies and how it can help secure Africa’s future.
