Hello Bitcoin talkers
     A lot of us might have heard of the news that Blockchain.com is expanding its operations to Africa and will have a physical office here in Nigeria...I see this as a huge gain for us because for a long while, the Nigerian government have been uncertain about crypto regulations in Nigeria... It's either they are banning or release a ban... Or maybe they are imposing Hight tax and the company had to close down their services to Nigerians. But with this news, I think it's safe to say that the regulation is quite favorable now which  would have also promoted the decision of blockchain.com.
   A thread was made recently about how we don't have a direct P2P platform to convert Bitcoin directly to niara.. ( though I think the Jeroid app Does that) and with Blockchain.com in the picture, we might just be seeing more of this feature.
   However, do we think this is a win for us Nigerians, will it have any significant effect on the crypto community most especially when it comes to P2P?
