The bitcoin price has, however, climbed this year, largely due to interest in bitcoin and crypto from technology giants including Jack Dorsey's social network Twitter and iPhone-maker Apple. Now, Dorsey, the chief executive of both payments company Square and Twitter, has set his sights for the "future" of bitcoin and technology on Africa and its more than 1.2 billion people. While in Nigeria, Dorsey attended a bitcoin meetup and met bitcoin business owners in Ghana, according to reports. The data somewhat supports Dorsey's expectation that Africa will lead the way on bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Developing regions and countries have long been expected to benefit the most from bitcoin, cryptocurrency and the underlying blockchain technology.
