Here in Nigeria, the leaders and government want the citizens to be poorer because they believe that the poorer the people are, the easier they are for them to manipulate. You can see the various dramas that they display during election campaigns including frying akara, eating with beggars and even sleeping in the bed of the sick. All these are ways they mock the poverty of the people, same poverty they create because they know that if the people are rich, those things will not sell.

This is the reason the government will hardly allow Bitcoin to thrive freely. More so, they see it as a threat to the conventional banking system that they are using to control the people because most of the politicians have stakes at the banks. Nevertheless, no matter how they try to stop Bitcoin, Bitcoin will continue to grow and spread in the country and more people will continue to embrace and invest in it.
