Subject: Kenya Primed For Wide-Scale Bitcoin Adoption 
> Guest Post: Kenya Primed For Wide-Scale Bitcoin Adoption By Noel Jones 
> June 12 2013 
> <http://www.thegenesisblock.com/guest-post-kenya-primed-for-wide-scale 
> -bit=oin-adoption/> 
> As we witness bitcoin's continued growth around the world, one loc=le stands out as particularly primed for 
widespread adoption: Kenya. Africa=today has one of the fastest growing mobile phone markets in the world with=20% 
annual growth and 93% of Kenyan households owning mobile phones. What m=kes Kenya a particularly unique case for 
bitcoin is that it is also a world=leader in mobile payment usage. 
> In 2007, Safaricom, one of Kenya's leading telecommunications comp=nies, launched a mobile payment service called 
M-PESA. Today, two thirds of=Kenyans use the service and more than 30% of Kenya's GOP flows thro=gh it. The benefits 
to the Kenyan population are astounding as well, with M=PESA's rural adopters often seeing dramatic income increases 
after a=opting the program. Such incredible growth has piqued the interest of some b=g names in the technology sector 
as well. 
> Africa's Ballooning Tech Presence 
> "The Internet in Africa will be primarily a mobile one." s=id Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google. Google has 
alluded to plans f=r building technical infrastructure in Kenya and other parts of Africa, inc=uding the potential use of 
wifi blimps or weather balloons to provide inter=et service. They further elaborated in a blog post earlier this year about 
t=e technology that its, "Well-suited to provide low cost connectivit= to rural communities with poor 
telecommunications infrastructure, and for e=panding coverage of wireless broadband in densely populated urban 
areas. =80 Google is also making moves in the digital payment arena. They recent=y introduced attaching Google Wallet 
payment in emails and announced an inv=stment from Google Ventures in OpenCoin Inc.—the company behind Rip=le, 
a new digital ledger technology with similarities to Bitcoin. 
> Google isn't the only entity preparing for major moves in Africa. C=ina has been investing in Africa substantially for the 
last decade and is a=major shareholder in much of the African telecom industry. With the telecom=industry in Africa 
booming and Kenya targeting 100% internet penetration by=2017, change is on the horizon.
