In Africa, looming Crypto Regulations threaten hundreds of billions of dollars in peer-to-peer trade
https://afrikoin.substack.com/p/in-africa-looming-crypto-regulations
"The outcome of π¦ Central #Bank sanctions was catalyzing peer-to-peer (#p2p) markets and #trade, resulting in year-on-year growth in volumes on peer-to-peer platforms in #Africa π."
"Upcoming #regulations will undoubtedly reset the balance in favor of compliant models [gaining share from P2P #cryptocurrency #trading platforms]."

Nigerians pioneered Bitcoin as alternative financial system β Youssef, Paxful CEO
"We have been learning from the youth of #Nigeria π³π¬. We built our whole product around what they have shown us."
"The moment you need to send money to even the country next door, it becomes extremely difficult, and if you want to send money outside of the country to #China π¨π³, the US πΊπΈ , Europe πͺπΊ it becomes a nightmare."

"Right now ([In Kenya,] pre regulation) the only models that seem to work are peer to peer marketplace models like Paxful, Binance P2P, localcryptos, Localbitcoins and other startups that have incorporated P2P models."
"#Nigeria π³π¬ and #Kenya π°πͺ financial systems are presently anti crypto. So, no fiat rails for crypto."

Nigeria Is the Lion of Africa in Bitcoin P2P Trading
https://www.coindesk.com/nigeria-is-the-lion-of-africa-in-bitcoin-p2p-trading
"Bitcoinβs ascent is rooted in a sharp fall in #remittances through traditional channels during the pandemic. The World Bank said remittances to #Nigeria π³π¬ declined by 27.7% in 2020."
β[...] I believe that other countries facing similar situations now or in the future can use Nigeria as a model of hope.β

In Angola π¦π΄ P2P transactions have also been happening informally, mainly within the Bitcoin Angola Community, where members make purchases and sales in a safe and transparent way, we still don't use P2P platforms much.

Sub-Saharan Africa P2P volume hit a new all time high last week on @Paxful and @LocalBitcoins.
Bitcoin is most useful in places with capital controls, high levels of bureaucracy, and weakening local currencies.

Nigeriansβ appetite for bitcoins grows despite ban

"The use of foreign accounts for #crypto purchase and a shift to peer-to-peer-enabled platforms have replaced the services of restricted #cryptocurrency #exchanges."

Bitcoin is wooing the millions of workers who send their earnings abroad

"Governments banning cryptocurrencies to buy time have found that blocking enterprising crypto investors from global markets doesnβt work. Die-hards have simply moved on to smaller peer-to-peer crypto exchanges, making traditional outlets look worse."
