Thanks for this perspective. I have no on the ground experience. Most of what I know has been from reading Alex Gladstein.
Alex has very informative and thoughtful articles on the subject, and unlike most people on the ground who dream of a panafrican currency to replace the CFA (basically repeating the mistakes of the euro), he rightfully sees bitcoin as the only alternative. The central African Republic gave us hope, but they turned out to be scammers.
You see, most of the problems on the continent are home made, and not related to France, on the contrary! At least France left relatively prosperous and well functioning countries. We've squandered all that heritage. The problem i see with blaming France is that we forget about this important fact.
I'm not saying the CFA is perfect, it's not, but the alternative can only be bitcoin.
Thanks siggy.
