I was hoping to see a major announcement that BitX was partnering with a big merchant.
I visit that country a lot on my way through to Africa and I am still looking for big merchants on the airport to accept Bitcoin. I want to pay for lunch or
buy a beer when I pass through there, but nobody accepts Bitcoins. I also looked on the internet and they do not even have one Bitcoin ATM in that
country. It is very sad.

Van Rooyen says markets on either end of the wealth spectrum are starting to grasp the potential of cryptocurrencies. “Since Bitcoin is currently seen as a bit of a luxury, we see the majority of trading and investment currently happening in richer countries, notably the US. Those markets already have excellent, established financial services – which Bitcoin certainly can complement – but we expect the biggest benefits will accrue to users in emerging markets, where Bitcoin can solve real pain points.”
