Central African Republic is the first African country to legalize bitcoin. www.theexchange.africa

The legal tender title of bitcoin in the country implies the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legal means of payment in any transaction through specific rules and regulations. This means that no vendor, trader or organisation can deny service payment through bitcoin as illegal.

This move comes after several countries in the continent have restricted trading in bitcoin, and most of them are lukewarm about the market.

The legalisation of bitcoin in the first African country will transform the country’s infrastructure and facilitate the blockchain technology and web3 applications to thrive. With legalising cryptocurrencies, the Central African Republic is moving towards a new path of technological development and economic performance. This dynamic field is popular among investors worldwide and ever-present as full-fledged assets in the portfolios of the world’s largest financial players such as Microsoft, Meta and Amazon.

The Crypto market in the world is looking ugly.

The bitcoin price fell to a three-month low on January 10, accelerating the slide that started when the Federal Reserve ignited a broad sell-off worth US$300 billion. The bank cautioned that it might move more quickly than previously expected to reverse policy meant to reinforce the economy during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Experts predict that the latest crypto fall will persist for weeks in the Federal Reserve measures continue to be more aggressive.

As the rise and fall becomes more frequent and intense, it confirms that bitcoin does not follow a come -around -go-around trend.
In October this year, bitcoin drooped intensely before breaking the roof to hit a record high of US$66893.22. Investor psychology can be used to explain the trend in digital currency.

On a normal day, bitcoin investors use a fall in bitcoin worth as a go ahead to purchase, due to low prices at this time. The investors then wait to reach highs to sell off their accumulated assets; creating a loop of buying and selling.
