In as much as the government still try to hinder some of the activities of crypto enthusias, there has been a lot of African youths that have over the years built their own knowledge on cryptocurrency and other Innovations in technological advancement without the help of government. So i believe with time the knowledge so far acquired by this African youths will saturate across sub-saharan Africa.
The government cannot give a knowledge they do not have, although, they do hide the truth from her citizens, yet, it's also the obligation of any being with a brain and time to research for themselves whatever thing that interests them. Africans have a lot trust for their government such that most people wait for their orders before they could do anything on their own.
However, since the people are beginning to discover the truth, and the few youths who moved ahead to venture into crypto, not minding what the government says, now reaping the fruit of their labor, a lot more eyes are being opened to see what's real.
