Bitcoin Africa
Mother to civilization and the victim to more pillaging of resources than any continent in history. The creator of modern-day science, art, philosophy, and democracy. Africa has always been an enigma. With the vast amount of resources at their fingertips, why is Africa not a leader on the world stage? The answer is simple — corruption.
Introducing Bitcoin, an inflation-resistant decentralized wrecking ball that acts as the “Great Equalizer”. Bitcoin offers Africa and other pillaged nations the ability to have the freedom to have the financial equality taken for granted in the West. I do not need to explain Bitcoin to these nations, as they have adopted cryptocurrency far before the rest of the world. As you can see, the list of global crypto adoption in 2021; littered with African nations — South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Togo. Today, Nigeria is the number one Bitocin-holding nation in the world.

The world is probably aware of the hyperinflation story that plagued Venezuela in 2017. Similarly to the story; of Venezuela, corruption and financial restrictions have caused the same domino effect on the Nigerian Naira. Just this year, the value of the Naira was a whopping ₦430 to $1. Now, the Naira is worth a staggering 0.0024$. This story might seem surprising; since 1972, multiple nations have seen their currencies tank due to the same myriad of problems — corruption, currency devaluation, and mass inflation. These problems balloon large as elephants and then pop the economy.
Bitcoin; was created for freedom and an avenue for anyone to be financially free. “If everyone uses Bitcoin, we take the power out of their hands” is an insightful quote that illustrates why Bitcoin Africa is so necessary. The Bitcoin community operates as an ecosystem, a far-reaching populist movement of history. Bitcoin personifies, “together we are strong”; not a cliche but a testament to how the Bitcoin Blockchain operates. Africa is the past, and with Bitcoin, it is the future.
Why Bitcoin Africa, and not Ethereum Africa or Blockchain Africa? Bitcoin is the proverbial parent to the entire industry, and Africa is the parent to the whole world. What is Bitcoin Africa? Bitcoin Africa is the development of a massive orange movement that will sweep the globe. Bitcoin Africa is the trampoline for Blockchain Africa, showcasing brilliant minds. An introduction to a grande partnership between The Merlin Group and the Motherland. The snowball will stem into Ethereum vs. Bitcoin debates, Global Hackathons, and the spawning of more Bitcoin developers,
inspiring intelligent Africans to create projects that drive mass adoption. Mass adoption leads to hyperbitcoinization, the goal. The event will be on August 15, 2022, at 7 PM GMT, simulcasted on Twitter and YouTube- streamed and re-recorded. Together we are strong!
