It's a good thing to see a documentary on bitcoin revolution in Africa. From what I have seen bitcoin will help Africa grow financially because so many people lost interest in Africa when the credit card scam was recorded to come a lot from African countries. Now bitcoin is here I think people will trust having deals with African's at least we can entrust everything on escrow.

How can it possibly help only Africa ? I think Africa is even behind from early adopters or investors from other continent.

Those who sold their bitcoin for exchange of pizza are not in Africa I guess.
Those who bought at the early stage when price was still in satoshi are not in Africa I guess.
Those who bought when price was just climbing to few hundred of dollars are not in Africa too I guess.

Therefore, Africans are late adopters and even at the moment, I believe Africans who have few bitcoins are those in this forum and maybe acquired from signature campaign (maybe). The real African investors are just getting to know about it or are still preparing to make their minds up to invest in it while price keep moving up (of course it won't wait for nobody).

This means for me, if price stays at what it is and we don't see a new ATH, bitcoin won't help Africa or any other person who buys and only hodls, in expectation of an increase. Because talking about helping or profiting, we have to see a considerable difference in hodling price or cost and actual price at a certain time.

Maybe Africans should hope for a new ATH therefore Grin

I am from Africa, Many of your narratives are true because truly African are not early adopter. But this is not what the documentary is all about. It is about the way crypto is helping Africans especially in many part of Africa with low standard of living. For instance, before this bitcoin revolution, it is very difficult for many Africans to pick up a freelance job because many of the platform such can be access do not offer payment options that is available for Africans. It is a rigorous process with a lot of charges when you get paid with check. But today with the help of crypto, Africans can now compete with other freelancers around the world and also work and get paid online. In some countries like Nigeria, crypto have put smiles on the face of the people than the government. You can not work a kilometer in many domestic place without seen banners about cryptocurrencies. Today a lot of investors in Africa are looking for a way to explore the potential in the underlying technology https://cointelegraph.com/news/africa-using-blockchain-to-drive-change-nigeria-and-kenya-part-one

This is why I'm interested in the documentary even with the trailer showing something that I already saw from other documentaries, I'm interested why are they doing a documentary about Africa, what's makes the country special in terms of cryptocurrency that it deserves to be in a full length documentary. Read your comment and thought about how it make sense, geography of a country affects people too. I'm so interested in knowing more. I hope the docu won't revolve around topics that we already know about bitcoin, we want to know more about how crypto is affecting Africa. Already read some comments from other who lives in africa that they don't see the revolution the docu is talking about, I hope the docu will cover both sides.
