I for one believe that too much recognition would not give us returns on our investment in the long run. If the supply exceeds the demand... you know the rest.

The supply is fixed.
And recognition means more demand.

So there is no way that your scenario unfolds in this situation.

Back to the title, is pure clickbait.

Quote

Nigeria's position is very clear. We cannot stop the tide of waves generated by the Blockchain technology and its derivatives. However the Central Bank has the responsibilities of ensuring price and financial system stability. This is why digital currency issuance becomes a major concern to the Central bank of Nigeria. To this end, the Central bank of Nigeria has kick started several initiatives and research works to identify the various use cases of Blockchain Technology Including the issuance of Digital currency using the Blockchain technology

.

There is no word about endorsing BTC and actually no word about BTC at all.
They talked about the blockchain.

Same for the Jamaica article.

Quote

The Deputy Governor of the BOJ, Livingstone Morrison provided this statement on Wednesday, 23rd August, 2017 at the central bank’s quarterly media briefing. He mentioned that the central bank must create opportunities for the exploitation of certain technologies, including cryptocurrency, while identifying that such technologies should not pose undue risk to the local financial system.

Not a single mention of bitcoin but about cryptocurrency and technology.
It could mean anything, including a government controlled currency.

I believe this is a great news for Nigerians and Bitcoin as well. Recently, Jamaica did thesame and If this keeps going on with so many other countries, I am sure we will start seeing huge light.

This is the first time that I hear this kind of good news. As far as I thought most of the bank are afraid of bitcoin.
I'm hoping that this will be the start of banks to accept bitcoin.

This will increase the demand for bitcoin and it will rise in price. Perhaps it will push other countries to do the same. And that would be a great idea.

This is great news! In fact, central banks of different countries should start on doing the same. Introducing Bitcoin is healthy for the economy of the countrt because it is a mean of investment that would circulate the money of the country around. And with the central bank themselves endorsing will entice investors that the Bitcoin has huge potential to spike up in the future making them more aggresive of Buying and investing into it. In my country, it is still to be introduced to the people as a whole because are still not familiar with it.

A further read on the link would have solved this mis-information. Its is not an endorsement rather its an expression of opinion by a top functionary of the Central Bank which was credited to him. The same way other central banks governors will equally express an opinion on the current matter but this does not inteprete to adoption because a lot of process as well as discussions will have to be done before this can be implemented even at the low level.

This is another fake news. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has neither endorsed nor legalized Bitcoin or any other crypto-currency. They have issued a warning against using the Blockchain technology and crypto-currencies. Mr Musa Itopa Jimoh, although an employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria is a crypto-coin enthusiast. And his words represent his personal vies and not that of the CBN.

Great news for Bitcoin! This will further increase the demand for bitcoin, therefore causing the price to pump. These countries are doing a great decision both for their financial aspects as a nation as well as for the people in general. I hope this national decision made by their leaders will help improve their economies.

With 21 million coins in circulation at the end. Do you really think supply can exceed demand? Even if it does for instance, and it gets accepted globally for regular use, do you think the value would be the same compared to what we have now? Probably a satoshi then might even be worth something. Just an analogy anyway as no one can predict the future but from your claim, I see no reason why adoption should pose threat for bitcoin on the long run.

16.4 in circulation as of now. However it will reach 21 million soon (or someday) as you rightly point out. But you are also discounting the fact that there are others snapping at its heels. So over time I have a feeling that it may loose its sheen but that will be sometime away (Hopefully not in my lifetime Tongue

).
