SHOPNOW.NG - SPENDING BITCOIN IN NIGERIA

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

The E-Commerce industry has recorded massive growth in recent years in Nigeria and it's only just beginning as the world is gradually moving towards a new era of digital assets. Digital currencies are finding their way into the market and everyday a lot of people see them as an opportunity to store wealth and exchange value. Bitcoin is becoming more popular in Nigeria and today the country has the highest volume of Bitcoin transactions in Africa and according to google trends, Nigeria is the country that search the word “Bitcoin” the most in the whole world. Exchange companies has emerged to help Nigerians convert their Bitcoin to Naira and vice versa but there is a need that is yet to be met, there is a gap that is needed to be filled.... Nigerians need to be able to trade with their Bitcoin directly without having to convert it to Naira, Nigerians should be able to top-up their mobile phones and pay with Bitcoin without having to convert to Naira.
This need, this gap, this vacuum is what SHOPNOW.NG has come to fill. Shopnow.ng is Africa's first online store that will accept Bitcoin as the only payment option and Nigerians will no longer have to convert BTC to Naira before getting the desired shirts, phones, computers, buy data, top-up prepaid mobile phones, etc they only need to visit shopnow.ng

I want to go to Nigeria & buy some coffee with #Bitcoin! Wait. I can't. Fees are too damn high. I guess I'll have to use BitcoinCash instead

Things are shaping up for Nigeria at last.

Ok cool! Let's work together and figure out some good solutions to power batteries, and getting Steemians in Africa power supplies off-grid, so that people can have more options for the internet. Any info on your battery packs for smartphones would be helpful.
