I'm from Algeria and I can say this is absolutely irrelevant to most of the Africain countries even though they claim otherwise, the currencies are only displayed in NGN, a verification process is needed and BVN is required which is a scheme introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, the site have both buying and selling listings from the same person (only one) so I don't really see how there is much demand or how this exchange is meant to be for Africa If they only support Nigeria.
I expect you should first and foremost be excited that a brother have taken a bold step to fly the flag of Bitcoin somewhere in Africa and I also expected you to be in a position to make concrete suggestions or constructive criticism to show that the adoption of Bitcoin (cryptocurrency) across Africa matters much to you and not to write him off. I must say here, that nothing will change in Africa, until African become the change they want. Learn to stand up for a brother, no one else in the world would do it for you and every well established venture today didn't start half as sound! Here's the first Rolls Royce, I hope it says something to you!
I have got to know that many Nigerians are trying to scam people by selling Bitcoins at very cheap rate and exchanging them for some coins.
No offense against any people but this is just what I heard from other people. I have personally seen some messages where they were selling Bitcoins for cheaper rates. I don't know about Bitkoin.africa but you should all stay safe from such people.
You do not have a proof for that, yet you've gone ahead to propagate it! And if at all, that's going on, the greedy fools and accomplices that patronizes them should have their heads examined!
This is a welcoming news and it just shows that bitcoin is really hard to stop right now and that's why a lot of nation is talking about it recently. But I would just like to question if Africa is really prepared for this tsunami? Have they setup their infrastructure already? Internet and Electricity is there? Because if majority of Africa has so many problems that they are facing then how they gonna adopt bitcoin? They should priority like food, shelter and water before bitcoin can really be useful in the whole of Africa. IMHO. So I'm still a little skeptics that the continent can adopt it immediately.
Africa's one and major problem is its mostly egocentric and stone age rulers, take them aside and Africa would know its best days. Interestingly, Bitcoin is such a solution provider! I think the present generation of Africans ought now to break the jinx by starting to think outside the box - waiting for their governments to generate power or provide infrastructures or food is surely a forlorn hope. By embracing Bitcoin, they can afford the best and latest technologies like green power and with reverse engineering at work, not reinvention of the wheels, things will definitely start to fall into place!
