ពត៌មាន Bitcoin- Studies have indicated that Kenyans are increasingly using or investing in cryptocurrency.
- In a recent YouTube video, Njoroge questions the benefits of cryptocurrencies for the Kenyan economy.
The governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Patrick Njoroge, has called the notion of investing the nation’s reserves in bitcoin craziness. Njoroge said that if he were to agree to convert Kenya’s reserves to bitcoin, he should be imprisoned and his prison cell’s keys should be destroyed.
The CBK has issued comments and warnings under Njoroge’s leadership cautioning Kenyan citizens against trading or investing in cryptocurrency. The central bankers of Kenya and Nigeria reportedly stated in June 2022 that cryptocurrencies are too unstable to be a reliable form of payment. The bankers also warned that cryptocurrencies present a risk to the stability of the financial system.
Use of Cryptocurrencies Among Kenyans Is Increasing
Nevertheless, despite Njoroge and the CBK’s objections, studies have indicated that Kenyans are increasingly using or investing in cryptocurrency. However, in a recent YouTube video, Njoroge questions the benefits of cryptocurrencies for the Kenyan economy.
Njoroge stated :
ក្នុងសេដ្ឋកិច្ចរបស់យើង តើគេដោះស្រាយបញ្ហាអ្វី? តើពួកគេជាយានជំនិះល្អជាងសម្រាប់យើងនិយាយថាការបង់ប្រាក់ ប្រតិបត្តិការឬ? ហើយចម្លើយគឺទេ។ តើពួកគេប្រសើរជាងក្នុងលក្ខខណ្ឌ ... សុវត្ថិភាពជាងគណនីធនាគារ? ហើយចម្លើយគឺទេ។
Njoroge also asserted that he is under pressure as he tries to persuade lawmakers not to listen to people touting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. But according to Njoroge, he would have to be completely insane to accept this request to convert reserves to bitcoin.
