SAWUBONA cryptozulu!!

How's the general attitude towards bitcoin in SA? How's it like working with the banks, and what does the government say?

How's the community, are many involved?

I am sure many would appreciate it if you wrote a small article on bitcoin's status in SA and Africa in general from an insiders point of view. You might even get paid for it if you contacted one of the major bitcoin newspapers online.

A couple of examples:

Hi there, the short version on the btc movement here:

Its on the upraise this is definite, getting strong and recently farily doubling in adoption, Much potential here for great services for mobile/payment platforms, mostly low-middle class income individuals. People forget that the USD based price for the US citizen might not be a "heavy expense" in general, however you convert that USD value to our Rand (ZAR) value, then well you are looking at money that people cannot simply for out as they please, its substantial and critical to their monthly survival and savings. If you can cater for the low to middle income class, more of a "millibits" theory, well then get ready for fantastic business and adoption.

here in SA, the average guy has heard the word, the term, knows nothing of Satoshi at all, and know its a digital currency, has no idea why or how or for what they would want to use it, education is key.

Well, if you look closely at my signature you will find I am the owner and head of Cointelegraph South Africa (Franchise) and have been building it piece by piece, stories are scarce and so are interested parties, but that is rising
