RE: Venezuela and Nigeria Climb the ranks for Steemit.com traffic

in #steemit7 years ago

Think about it this way, Nigeria has a reputation for online scams, which is why Nigerian credit cards are considered high risk. That makes it harder for honest Nigerians to engage with the online economy -> it is a place with a real need for cryptocurrency, where there are no chargebacks.

Fair point.... hence why I said I was cautious about stereotypes.

Nigeria also has the largest population on Africa, maybe makes growth there less remarkable.

To a degree but web ranks accounts for that fairly well. It's a much bigger element for China, India and the US where the online population is absolutely enormous, but Nigeria is in the top 10 online populations so it is a factor somewhat.
