Dorsey’s support for crypto conveniently comes a day after the Nigerian government threatened Twitter. The decision stems from claims that the social media application was deleting President Buhari’s tweets.
Apart from the cryptic pictures, Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey also tweeted, “The people of Nigeria will lead #bitcoin.” The statement is a quote from an open letter from American footballer Russel Okung to President Buhari.
In the letter posted on Bitcoin magazine, Okung urges the president to lead Nigerians in accepting Bitcoin as the national standard. Okung added that very soon, each country will need to decide on its stand on cryptocurrency. The nations which adopt Bitcoin like the way El Salvador has done are bound to enjoy significant advantages in the future.
