Bitcoin is growing popular throughout a few regions within the giant continent of Africa. One of these areas seeing bitcoin growth is the United Republic of Tanzania. Due to the rise in interest towards bitcoin from Tanzanian citizens the Bank of Tanzania governor, Benno Ndulu, expressed some concerns about the decentralized currency this week.

Currently, online searches for the decentralized cryptocurrency bitcoin are trending significantly within the Eastern and Southern African regions.

That's ok that they want to learn crypto-currency firstly. But there are good experience of bitcoin adoption as Australia and Japan, they can follow that, for example.
In the current situation the world seems get shared on Chona and South Korea with their banning and Japan and Australia. Other countries are like in the middle and looking which strategy is going to give best results. I think Tanzania is such a just kind.

I'm interested to see where this will go. I know that many on the continent clamour for options that are user friendly and ways to send and receive remittances. I've also seen a few companies doing intersting things in regards to allowing people to buy cell airtime via BTC, and LTC.
