From Cash to Crypto: Exploring Blockchain in Africa - E-book - ePub

Blockchain technology is gaining traction throughout the world because it possesses the ability to establish a more secure, transparent, and decentralized system. Blockchain has emerged as a game changer in transforming the way individuals trade and access financial services in Africa, where financial exclusion remains a major concern. Blockchain-based solutions are upsetting traditional banking and finance techniques in Africa, from remittance payments to peer-to-peer transactions.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are also gaining popularity because they provide an alternate method of trade that is not susceptible to the vagaries of fiat currency or regulated by centralized authorities.
