France’s Colonial Currency Has a Bitcoin Problem

Can Bitcoin offer a way out of Africa’s colonial money trap? Nico speaks with Togolese activist Farida about the CFA franc, its ties to France, and why she believes political independence has not delivered financial freedom. They explore currency devaluation, the human cost of monetary dependence, and why Bitcoin’s appeal in Africa goes beyond investing. Farida explains how a borderless monetary system can give people greater control over their money, and why she calls Bitcoin “the currency of humanity.
