But Nigeria Naira is in free fall for more than 5 years now. The risk of holding Naira is more than that of BTC. We have two important exchange rates one at 372, another at 472. Only people with government link can easily source at so-called official rate. It is virtually impossible to import basic materials for small scale industries. Cryptocurrencies created windows for Nigerians to invest their money. We have inflation at 17% but CBN ordered banks to fix interest rate at around 1%. This is nothing but wealth destruction. Cryptocurrencies have helped Nigerians to work remotely and earn decent wages. I remember one guy from Nigeria who was making good money from a cryptocurrency based freelance company.
