Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009 by a pseudo-figure Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin was developed on the blockchain with an aim to offer a decentralized, privacy-focused and third-party exclusive system.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies focus on bringing financial inclusion to the unbanked population, and the digital currency has lived up to this bidding. Ten years after its launch, the number one cryptocurrency and it’s technology (blockchain technology) are both making impacts on the global finance and monetary economy.
From Bitcoin’s use as an investment instrument, adoption as payment method and utilization of blockchain technology in all sectors especially by major institutions, this emerging currency and technology are here for the long haul.
Bitcoin.NG Mission Statement
To keep up with the growing interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in Nigeria and globally, as Google Trends suggest, NairaEx launches the Bitcoin.NG website as an upgrade to its BTC.NG platform.

The website will also provide information on upcoming cryptocurrency events in Nigeria, Africa and around the world. From trending stories, ‘how to guides’, breaking news, coin analysis and more, BITCOIN.NG covers it all.
Also, in line with the growing popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the BITCOIN.NG website will feature a business directory including retailers accepting the digital currency as payment.
A Wider Perspective
Asked about his motivation for the platform, NairaEX and Bitcoin.ng CEO, David Ajala explained:
“We want to empower Nigerians to unlock the potential of blockchain by connecting the unbanked to market opportunities presented with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies, through cryptocurrency news, market updates and expert guides.”
