Last week, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey appointed four Africans as members of the Bitcoin trust fund (BTrust) board. Three Nigerians and one South African; all four have previously worked to promote bitcoin development across Africa.
The Nigerians appointed are Abubakar Nur Khalil, Obi Nwosu and Ojoma Ochai, and Carla Kirk-Cohen is the South African.
