Goodnews over Africa in the crypto world as it was rank one of the most effective active user of p2p exchanges such as Paxful among others, Nigeria to be precise has recorded a tremendous performances in this regards with an outstanding increase in numbers of users with active account, you could recall her recent ban of crypto by the government and the citizens have soughted for an alternative crypto trading platforms (exchanges) which is more preferred than the cross boarder transactions by Fiat with high cost on transaction fee/charges in a bid to avoid inflation, this has also help in the increase of Nigeria's Economy and more visible chances could lead to it adoption by the government at a later run.
The numbers are never truly proven because there are so many people who do it behind the closed doors that the numbers are skewed towards whatever we have. I mean if people do not openly tell that they are doing something, then how can you calculate how many people are doing it? Maybe it grew 1200%, or maybe a lot more, or maybe a lot less, who could possibly know what is happening?
At the end of the day, what we have right now is the fact that people are more interested in crypto all around the world, especially considering 2020 and 2021 became wild years that saw bitcoin start at 9k by the start of 2020, saw as little as under 4k, saw as high as 64k, and had aaaalllll kinds of crazy stuff in between.
