Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are an excellent choice for countries that are constantly experiencing macroeconomic problems and facing the reality of inflation. In this respect, the African continent is also a very suitable location for this new technology. Also, access to financial services in Africa is quite limited (just like in El Salvador), but we have yet to read any remarkable news about the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies in Africa.
News about the adoption of cryptocurrencies in Africa has actually been circulating and has been in several media, it's just that there is nothing recent like the one made this month, but for the news in the previous month it has been promoted more by the media. This means that Africa already has very good plans for the adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and is working to make that happen over time.
To the extent that we are even "on topic" anymore, your statement about "Africa" is very confusing wmaurik. Sure there is the African continent.. as referred to by trendcoin, but even that is problematic to talk about the African continent as if there were some kind of common administrative unit or approach.
There are a lot of countries in Africa, and if you are going to suggest that something that is going on in Africa, it would likely be more accurate to refer to various countries and maybe you could refer to multiple countries, if there happens to be some aspects that they share in common.. yet I still believe it is going to be better to attempt to specify which country (ies) you are referencing, if you are wanting to make any kind of comparison/contrast to some of the happenings in El Salvador (if that was part of what was intended in terms of what you were posting?).
I think, issues such as volatility, legal regulation and financial literacy may be an obstacle for the masses to prefer Bitcoin for now, but I am sure that the countries that take these courageous steps will one day be remembered with respect.
Some of the obstacles that you mention are indeed very reasonable so that the state must continue to strive to make other better ways so that it is no longer hampered by volatility, legal regulation, and financial literacy. Because of all that there will be more solutions if more people are willing to think about it in order to achieve the goal of mass adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. After all it also includes the economic sector that is better for all of them.
As long as we are talking about country by country, then I largely agree with the point that bitcoin touches upon a lot of sectors and there will likely be a variety of approaches, including that some countries (and some people) are going to get distracted into shitcoins and sometimes there are going to be difficulties for a variety of interest groups, whether individuals, institutions or governments to clarify the extent to which they might be taking some kind of vague approach that does not highlight or attempt to focus on bitcoin (like El Salvador is doing) or to take some variation of their own path, and even if El Salvador might serve as a model, there sometimes are going to be reasonable justifications for countries (or regions) to take different approaches (or at least locally tailored approaches).
