CryptoCurrency can not save Zimbabweans, may be they can use some traditional method, like gold?
Gold is not very "user friendly" for everyday life (neither is bitcoin).
are you really implying that bitcoin is as unusable as gold in everyday life?
Gold being completely inappropriate for everyday transactions doesn't per se make bitcoin more usable if that was your point.

I'm afraid Zimbabweans would kill any money.
They're too small even to matter.
If China left BTC, that's another matter which may have already begun.
China's leaving, Zimbabwe's coming. The end of days is looming for the bitcoin world.
why do you say china is leaving? the situation is been even worse for them and bitcoin in the past. you think current events would really squeeze them out of the market?
At least 7170 bitcoins allegedly left China recently. What events do you refer to, what did I miss?
so ... use bitcoin instead ... with direct print from paper wallet 
BTC's price stability isn't much better.
That and 60 minute wait times are the reasons why BTC didn't take over there.
there is no 60 minutes wait, first confirmation is much faster
Not always. Nevertheless, other cryptocoins are still a lot faster. For example, the first confirmation for a dogecoin transaction usually arrives within a few minutes.
been doing btc transactions for a while now. there hasnt been a time that i had to wait more than 20 minutes for the first confirmation.
Once I had to wait for nealy 50 minutes. I think many bitcoin arbitrageurs have seen even longer times for the first confirmation to hit the blockchain.
i guess you are right, and im just being lucky .. looke it up and since the avarage transaction time is between 5 and 15 minutes, there has been people who were waiting for transactions to go tghrough were as long as 3 hours

“The coins aren’t backed by anything and people know that, hence the resistance,” Harare-based economist John Robertson said in a telephone interview Jan. 16.

You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.

to the moooooooooooon !and the 2nd question is not a problem now, i have the 0 confirmation and not ever a problem since 2 years of using bitcoin.
The, we shall remember that Zimbabwe in one the world's poorest country.
A man making $100 in a month is rich out there.
Most transactions are very small, below $1.

Gold is not very "user friendly" for everyday life (neither is bitcoin).
That's because Bitcoin favours large payments. This is where it excels with its small fees and secure transactions. It's still hard to use for people on the move, who want to quickly grab a hot dog from a stand, but it's great if you're buying something in the internet. There are services, that don't even wait for the confirmation and immediately know the transaction has been made. For example I bought a steam game recently, and had the key on my mailbox in less than a minute.

People has been skeptical about introduction of the bond coin as they fear that the physical coins will be the government's first step to reintroducing back the Zimbabwe dollar. so in this scenario, I don't see any obstacle on why they shouldn't use bitcoin. At least they can use it as a day to day exchange currency to buy goods and stuff rather than accepting candy or pens?
