When Satoshi Nakamoto thought of the idea of Bitcoin, he thought of a resource that would give citizens the financial freedom that the traditional market did not: A new system that would allow citizens of the world to own their own money, without borders or intermediaries.
Since 2008, when Bitcoin emerged as an idea, until today, when it is perceived both as an exchange asset and as an investment asset, BTC has been opening doors, revolutionizing not only the financial system, but also the industry thanks to blockchain technology. and in the African continent we can see how cryptocurrencies and the chain of blocks have represented an important change in how people and companies develop.
“Blockchain technology adoption has gained momentum in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana, resulting in more efficient and lower-cost cross-border payments to make it easier for African companies to conduct business abroad” This was stated by Bitcoin Events, organizers of Blockchain Africa Conference 2023, in a press release.
Blockchain revolutionizing the industry
Although many companies are still skeptical of cryptocurrencies, they are much more open to adopting blockchain technology within their processes and that is Thanks to the need for greater trust, security, transparency and traceability of data shared in commercial networks, firms such as Amazon, Tencent, Nike and MacDonalds have started to embrace this revolutionary innovation.
But in addition to all these features, something that has made African companies adopt blockchain is that it is profitable and efficient, for which there is a real need and can potentially accelerate the socio-economic growth of the continent and precisely for this it is important for these companies to show the rest of the world what is being done in Africa to continue driving this growth.
