Truth be told Bitcoin is still an emerging thing in Nigeria so in terms of usefulness especially as it comes to using it to purchasing things it's not that popular because in terms of acceptance level many people have not gotten the knowledge about Bitcoin so you can't use Bitcoin in purchasing things like lands or even paying bride price for now it's more about online payments but I believe that going forward the use of Bitcoin in the Nigerian ordinary day Market will be more common
I agree with everything that you said. Personally, I believe that acceptance of bitcoin by anybody depends on the individual if he is open to bitcoin knowledge and understands how it work before it will be possible. I have a small business that I am running and if a customer comes and want to pay in bitcoin, I will definitely accept.
Back to the bride price payment, I don't like the idea because it's a traditional thing and everything about tradition should be done in a traditional way. Some community pride is very little. My friend wife pride price was ₦10 and the other one ₦5000. Those amounts cannot be paid with bitcoin but fiat, because tradition does not accept transfer but cash.
Yes, you can buy a car or pay its price with Bitcoin if you want. If that businessman has any idea about Bitcoin in advance, he will also accept it. But those people who do not know about Bitcoin will never accept it. Bitcoin is just play money for them.
Bride price can also be made the main one, if any of them knows about Bitcoin and is willing to accept it. But the OP is right, it is better not to do this in traditional things. Everything should be done according to the rules. Because the rules and regulations did not just come into existence. Our elders were wiser than us or still are. But according to your opinion, if the bride price is taken in the council in Bitcoin, thinking like the present time. Then the amount of money that the bride price is determined, the same amount of Bitcoin should be paid. Because everything should be done according to the rules and regulations.
