Are there noticeable difference in perceptions about bitcoin as you travel around Africa?
No. In all of these countries BTC has a relative bad reputation. Countries that have industries that are more technical innovative like Kenya, Nigeria or South Africa lead in BTC adoption, because of their openness to new technologies. Adoption is definitely growing, but for my taste it's still not there where it could be just from the need and utility that BTC brings. But for most people USDT is giving them what they need: a clear fee structure, cheap cross-border transactions and it works without a bank and permissionless. That it might be censored or frozen is not of concern for them. this I saw in all of the countries I worked in.
