Galaxy Investment CEO Mike Novogratz published a tweet calling Bitcoin “the future” for Africa. The post was published in response to a tweet about an essay by HRW chief strategy officer Alex Gladstein.
In his paper titled “Fighting Monetary Colonialism with Open Source Code”, Gladstein reported that at one time Colonial France used the franc to control 15 African countries and 180 million inhabitants of the continent.
Gladstein called this data shocking and posed the question, ”Can Bitcoin be a way out of this situation?”
