The success of steemit.com and shopnow.ng will boost the use of cryptocurrency in Africa and most especially Nigeria

Nigeria is one of the African countries with a lot of talents and large man power. Nigerians are great survivors. Despite the rate of unemployment, Nigerians still find a way to survive.

With Nigeria's Naira currently trading at over 314 to 1 against the U.S. dollar and the Nigerian government scrambling to stem its further decline would Bitcoin or even Steem for that matter provide Nigerians with a viable alternative to a crashing paper currency Wouldn't a democratically controlled block chain managed by the like of Bitcoin, Steem or some other cryptocurrency provide consumers, savers, and investors a hedge against their own fiat currency currently managed by dictators, incompetent government managers or faceless international bankers? I say why not? Just one man's opinion, that is all.

Nigerians and Bitcoin

Nigeria ranks number 1 worldwide on google search statistics for bitcoin in the last 12 months & last 30 days!

Second on the list is SOUTH AFRICA, then Malaysia etc

This research just shows how Nigerians are indefatigable and impavid. undeterred by high rate of unemployment and the high rate of youth unemployment (which is around 25%) , Nigerians still are tirelessly looking for alternative ways to survive.

In the world of cryptocurrency, Nigeria has been on the cryptocurrency news for some irksome reasons. Below is an example from cointelegraph.

But change has come to Nigeria. Thanks to Steemit we now have people like

Shopnow.ng

SHOPNOW.NG is Africa's first online store that accepts BITCOIN and other digital currencies as the only payment option. Making online shopping as easy as it should be by providing excellent customer satisfaction and service delivery.

Personally I'm excited about @shopnowng because most new steemians in Nigeria always ask one question;

we are getting cryptocurrency from steemit.com, but how do we spend them,?

Well look no further, just order whatever you want from shopnow.ng.

Shopnow.ng will be launching 4 days from now, so get your cryptocurrency Wallets (mostly especially Steemit wallet) ready

Some Nigerian celebrities will be present at the launch of shopnow.ng

as Bitcoin catapults to new ALL TIME HIGH price, so will steemians and cryptocurrency users in Africa and Nigeria in particular catapult to SHOPNOW.NG
