For Africa, Bitcoin is not just a speculative asset. Africans choose Bitcoin because they want to bypass traditional systems that are only open to a few people. For example, remittance is one of the areas where Bitcoin is most commonly used in Africa, because remittance fees in this region are the highest in the world. Africans who send money back home from abroad are charged an average of 10% of the total remittance as a handling fee, which is twice the charge in South Asia.
