RE: Nigeria Is Printing Its Currency Into Oblivion! - How This Is Bankrupting The Nigerian People

in #money7 years ago (edited)

Thank god we have bitcoin to provide an alternative to this madness. I've experienced first hand when my country's currency experienced a 50% (!!) drop in less than 6 months. I hope the crypto world would outgrow the mania (i.e. get rid of 99% of these overvalued ICOs and solve political squabble in bitcoin) and focus on the real threat that is Central Banks.

It's definitely crazy. What country are you from?

Yeah, the worst part is that governments quickly obliged businesses to set prices in the country's currency, so all of a sudden its crisis, 50% inflation and you can now only charge half for your product (in dollar terms). This was in Mozambique by the way. I am now in Europe, but damn did this experience give me a deeper insight into how things are done. Ultimately most politicians are the same, just that African ones are less professional and don't bother covering up what they do hahah.
