If these transfers were made in Bitcoin, the cost would have been $11.9 million instead of 88.2. In other words, 76.3 million dollars would remain in the pockets of the citizens. The reduction in costs would perhaps encourage more people to send money back home.

Hassan stated that many countries in the world do not accept digital currencies, but the Central Bank of Tanzania should be closely interested in these developments in order to be ready, “The era of crypto and blockchain is dawning.” said.

According to the news of The Citizen newspaper, Hassan pointed out that the interest in crypto money has increased in the world and asked the Central Bank of Tanzania to start the necessary studies in order not to be caught unprepared.
