Днес Централно-Африканската Република (ЦАР) прие закон, според който Биткойн вече е законно платежно средства в страната. Това е втората държава в света след Ел Салвадор, която въвежда Биткойн, като основно платежно средство. Процесът на де-доларизация се ускорява в целия свят!
Досега основната валута на ЦАР бе Централно-африканският франк, гарантиран от Франция и фиксиран чрез валутен борд към еврото. Още 5 други централно-африкански държави използват централно-африканският франк, като основна валута - Камерун, Чад, Република Конго, Габон и Екваториална Гвинея.

Central African Republic adopts bitcoin as legal currencyThe Central African Republic has adopted bitcoin as legal tender, the president’s office said Wednesday, becoming the second country in the world to do so after El Salvador.
Lawmakers unanimously adopted a bill that made bitcoin legal tender alongside the CFA franc and legalised the use of cryptocurrencies.
President Faustin Archange Touadera signed the measure into law, his chief of staff Obed Namsio said in a statement.
The CAR “is the first country in Africa to adopt bitcoin as legal tender”, Namsio said.
“This move places the Central African Republic on the map of the world’s boldest and most visionary countries,” he declared.
But a leading opposition figure contested the vote and said that the move aimed at undermining use of the CFA franc.

Cryptocurrencies exchanges are not liable to tax, it adds.

The CAR is one of six central African countries that share the CFA franc — a regional currency that is backed by France and pegged to the euro. Other members are Cameroon, Chad, Republic of Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

The CAR has experienced few moments of peace since it gained independence from France in 1960, and ranks 188 out of 189 countries in the UN’s Human Development Index, a benchmark of prosperity.
In 2013, the country plunged into a civil war that developed largely along sectarian lines.
The conflict eased after France intervened militarily and elections were held that were won by Touadera, although for years armed groups held sway over most of the CAR’s territory.
In 2020, a coalition of rebels advanced on the capital Bangui, threatening to overturn Touadera as new elections loomed.
Russia dispatched paramilitaries to help repel the threat and then recover much of the rebel-held territory.
The operatives are described by Bangui as military advisers but by France, the UN and others as mercenaries from the Kremlin-backed Wagner group, which has been accused of abuses.
