Screw logic seriously . I live in Algeria which is on North africa (Biggest country) also the richest probably because we have oil . and there is no single word about Bitcoin at all . That's pretty sad to be honest .

The only people in Africa that I want to use Bitcoin are the drug lords, corrupt politicians and South Africa. They can invest money from the stolen UNICEF rice and gold/diamond deposits. No one else there has any money.

So you don't want 1.1bn people to use bitcoins?

What about the $60bn African migrants sent home in 2013 with an alarming 12% fee?

We might be seeing a surge of mass adoption of bitcoin there in Africa if everything went smoothly.
They already have a good implementation of mobile money and BTC is just the next step with the infrastructure already set.

Time will tell. Africa usually lags behind in everything, so I'm not really expecting mass adoption there before it happens in the west and east.
