Introduction of cryptocurrency in Africa has gained high momentum, generating more and more crypto investors. This has contributed to the emergence of indigenous African cryptocurrency projects. Today, we’ll be reviewing Nurucoin, which is still in its pre-ICO stage. The coin is regarded as a Pan-African coin designed to foster trading activities within the African continent.
One of the major problems faced by the African continent in international trade is the problem of currency exchange and the high fees charged by middlemen. This issue is precisely what Nurucoin hopes to solve.
Perhaps, to make up for the technicality of Blockchain technology, Nurucoin proposes a more simplistic way of opening an account.
