With all the ETF news taking up bandwidth, I thought it would be worthwhile to document what I think is a very important project, announced at last week's Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town conf. The Bitcoin Java Card project by KG, developer of Machankura, could be the missing piece to bringing Bitcoin to billions in Africa, and globally. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/01/31/bitcoin-java-cards-could-help-bank-millions-in-africa--billions-next/?sh=2622f8296bde

On friday, the Central Bank of Nigeria released a circular reversing its bitcoin ban 🔥 Given the scant information available online on the circular and questions I've been getting from folks, I decided to distill the 11-page document into a piece, which I've just published. The piece walks through the details of the CBN's circular, important changes, and its effects going into 2024. Hopefully this provides more clarity on this important development. https://www.forbes.com/sites/abubakarnurkhalil/2023/12/24/nigerian-central-bank-issues-circular-reversing-2021-bitcoin-ban/?sh=69910ce57350
