Nigerian government blanket banned bitcoin last year and introduced e-naira CBDC. Nigerians rejected CBDC, less than 1% adoption rate while peer-to-peer bitcoin usage soared by 800% and a bitcoin circular economy is now being built in Lagos. The government was then forced to “legalize” bitcoin which probably means they want to get people away from P2P to on/off ramps they can control. Eliminating cash is just another measure to both force e-naira adoption and control on/off ramps to bitcoin.
