  The Africoin Report: 'Banks Are a Poor Solution for Monetary Transactions,' by Chernoh Saeed Sow

  December 31st, 2015 by cherotech

  I visited many banks recently just to see how they work, and how they render services to customers. Since then, I see no authentic reason why people should ignore bitcoin, because it is the only global currency that preaches liberty to all. It makes monetary transactions simple, fast, and easier than with a bank today.

  According to the U.S. Department of State website:

  "Sierra Leone’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011 was $2 billion. The World Bank estimate gross national income (GNI) per capita for Sierra Leone is $340. This translates to over 72 percent of the population living on less than $1 per day, in extreme poverty."

  This is why Sierra Leone needs Bitcoin.

  We are three young and energetic youths striving hard to make a change in our country.

  The Africoin Report #2: My Trip to Kenema City

  August 14th, 2015 by cherotech

  I was born in Kenema in 1992, during the rebel war. Kenema was among the towns that the rebels captured from early 1997 to 2000. They killed thousands and destroyed properties, which led to the backwardness of the people there and the country as a whole. ...

  My trip to Kenema was another dream come true. I was eager to return back to my childhood town that I left in 2009 when I was 17. I was welcomed there like a prince, due to my hard work. People promoted my visit via social media, and I felt at home again. I brought them news of a great technology that will change the mindsets of many in the future.… The good news was bitcoin.

  We plan to use this blog as channel for education about the cryptocurrency. I created the Africoin Report to invite all 'Bitcoin gurus' to mingle and share ideas with us in a forum for online teaching and learning.
