in bitcoin •  8 years ago 

Due to confrontation with President Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s army moved into the capital. Due to all the mess, local currency is losing value and people try to buy USD or other currencies even on premium rates.

Local exchange Golix.io noted record prices on BTC.

Most Expensive BTC

Have to feel for the poor people living there...

Yeah... I think the price will go up globally.

Hit the next purchase at 5500 USD.

Yup, I feel bad for the people. Must be so much uncertainty for them. Hopefully the mess gets sorted out quickly and with no violence

I could tell you that a bitcoin in Venezuela represents a millionaire sum of money, and every satoshi I have won for me is like receiving an immense fortune.

Who's buying the BTC at this price ?
I am confused deeply.
And Why ? are they hiding the wealth in crypto ?

this is good news for Zimwabwe in cryptocurrency.

what do you think are the predictions for them?

do you think its possible for anyone to sell their bitcoins there to earn off the sick arbitrage?

really dont understand why they can buy on normal exchangers...

I'm surprised it's not double that!

Zimbabweans should just start transacting with each other using cryptos and completely cut out their corrupt gov. It's about damn time!

Omg they are serius :)

Dear sir @kingscrown thank you for the update will it cross 10000 by December 17?
What is your opinion sir?
Thanks again.

most predictions say that

I am also with this camp let's see.
Thank you sir for reply.

ooooooooooooioooooh

the point is, don't trust prediction. Just trust that Bitcoin will always increase in value until no one knows when. And when that time comes, people already use BTC or cryptocurrencies in their daily life, and the slow & more stable growth will occur, just like gold.

@kingscrown good job in updating us on this, but is this gain as a result of the crisis?

And how long will the gain stand?

Ya

It's a tell ;-p

when India or Korea was above.. market went there. Lets see if Africa makes it ;)

Yeah man the bulls are having a hayday.
Happy thanksgiving.

Who in there right mind is buying bitcoin at these prices! GEEZ please stop. Alcoins, if you can hear me...please HELP

Wow seriously?
I feel so sad for Zimbabwe, it is not the suitable country to have a premium BTC. They need an affordable BTC to replace the current local currency to accelerate the use of bitcoin there.

So, via-via I know some people in Zimbabwe. I have some Bitcoin. Is there any reason why it would not be a good idea for me to send them my Bitcoin, have them sell it, wire me the money by bank, and I re-purchase and repeat?

I am very tempted to give it a try, but I am wary because Zimbabwe's government is crazy and I don't want it to somehow get these friends in trouble. Thoughts?

if you trust them, its perfect!

I do.. with smaller amounts in any case, lest it gets too tempting.
But I do worry about them getting in trouble.. It may seem suspicious to authorities if those people suddenly start moving a lot of Bitcoin and money around? In a western world there's not that much they can do, but in Zimbabwe the government is very different

I dare say that it would be hard to get your USD out once you have sold the BTC through the exchange. Looks like you can only withdraw to Zimbabwean accounts or Ecocash. Then you will probably run into restrictions from Zimbabwean banks when trying to move the USD out.

@pandorasbox do not try, the Zimbabwean government is not the government of Europe or the USA, now there is chaos

There is a cash crisis in Zimbabwe and its illegal to externalise such amounts. You wont get you cash anytime soom until the crisis stops.

Wow... Really.
Btc..... 13000usd???
Where my Zimbabweans at?

It's not so easy....

So, go there by plane and sell BTC for the 'cheap price' of 10000 USD? Could make a lot of money that way. Or it that not possible since they can't pay in USD/EURO?

Zimbabwe today, who knows what nation will be in turmoil next. This is the advantage of borderless non government backed currency. Sadly many just don't get it, but think about the real potential based on the small amount of money currently invested in Crypto as more people accept that it's the real deal.

Not surprising with the turmoil in the country. I am in South-Africa and the current situation is quite concerning. If it does get violent, SA will have no choice but to respond as the current leaders of SADC.

South-Africa doesn't stand a chance!

How is that even possible ?

Thats surpising news Baby-Funny-Surprise-Face-Image.jpg

In Zimbabwe US dollars are banked, ie confiscated, and turned into 'electronic' US dollars for which the lucky owner gets 2 'electronic' dollars. Thus Bitcoin in Zim, is 2 electronic US dollars for every real US dollar and thus double the 'dollar' price. Hard to believe but true.
So if you sold you Bitcoin there for double the US rate you would end up with double in 'electronic' US Zimbabwe-ised dollars. No such a great deal.

can i buy bitcoin in this exchange it will be huge :)

this is good news for bitcoin future.

Yes it is, but at the same time we must hope that things go well in Zimbabwe, since these are harsh conditions for people who are there as citizens

delete

Bitcoin wanted.

That is so wrong, I cannot wait until we have decentralized exchanges. These people are enslaved and they need to be freed. Awesome post @kingscrown

Hmmmm, hope now every thing will go right in Zimwabwe, yes looks bitcoin will hit 10000$ in 2017, sir @kingscrown thanks for sharing

done upvote

It's too bad the people in Zimbabwe have been going through this. If only information was more accessible. Only knowledge can free the people.

Free the knowledge....

how are you

I wan't to sell my BTC now..

I guess reason for Zimbabwe to adopt bitcoin is to search for a more stable currency for them. Interesting read though

oh

Teh fiat currency loses trust when there is a political unrest.
Can you imagine what would happen to bitcoin when the establishment in one of the developed countries go belly up?

Careful, My forecast through 31 December bitcoin will fall by 40-50%

I find it extremely impressive how Bitcoin has been a method of investment and savings, but benefitting even more nations that are currently experiencing a great crisis of instability and bankrupt economy. Thanks to this initiative of the free market there has been a great incentive in the finished economies, this coin promises to be a fundamental piece of progress and economic stability in nations. I follow.

Bitcoin 30000$ just watch & Don't buy haha Thank you for sharing ^^

i like this ...

wow that is too much

@kingscrown thanks giving this information. Zimwabwe is alwasy Bitcoin Price Is Hug Premium compare to the International Market Price.

Pretty crazy to think that it has gone that high even in a country going through that kind of turmoil. Kinda surprised it isnt effecting the rest of the Bitcoin value all over

i always try my best @kingscrown

Impresionante lo del bitcoin

That unbelievable news @Kingscrown. Bitcoin hit $13000 in Zimbabwe coz due to confrontation with President Robert Mugabe. That would be huge market cap.

No. There is shortage of cash. And cash is now a comodity. So probably some guy used a debit card and paid a premium since cash is hard to get from the banka

Good news for Zimbabwe.

Hay great news

Bitcoin’s Future Valuation
Forecasting bitcoin’s long-term price trajectory is no simple task, but that hasn’t stopped industry proponents from giving lofty valuations about where the digital currency is headed. Last month, serial strategist Tommy Lee said $25,000 was too conservative of a price point for bitcoin.

John McAfee, who plans to launch his own cryptocurrency, believes bitcoin is already headed to $500,000. He believes it will get there in three years.

In an amusing Twitter post, McAfee added the following:

“I have a doctorate in point-set-topology. It predicts BC at $2,431,031 in 3 years. other math systems – between $1,900,000 and $2,600,000.”

Bitcoin’s investment appeal stems from its function as a store of wealth and utility as a censorship-resistant global transfer system. Price independence is also one of bitcoin’s astonishing features.

Bitcoin 13000 Ohh really!! Ripple (XRP) going high as i assumed. Good post kingscrown.

Golix.io was pumping and dumping BTC :)
Other exchanges didn't follow the hype :)

That's a grate news.

They need to get informed about the cryptocurrency of Bitcoin cash!

Damn! Someones surely burning a money RN! 😂 @kingscrown nice informative blog!

In the past decade Mugabe's government has lead Zimbabwe through two bouts of hyperinflation and in the end this turned out to be his undoing. At the peak in 2008, the Zimbabwe inflation rate was an astonishing 89,700,000,000,000,000,000,000%. There is no clearer example of the importance of monetary discipline imposed by limited currency supply than this. At least until we see what happens in Venezuela.

it's very imaging and good post bro.

crypto/bitcoin is a great way.the earliest way to get rich and not just make money with crypto is to buy BTC and hold for year or two.

I don't I understand why there is such a gap between BTC's worth in Zimbabwe vs other areas of the world. Is that because of how their currency valuates compared to USD? Also, could someone theoretically cash out on this exchange for profit?

I hope there are people that saved those 100 trillion notes, as they are today worth up to 100$ from a quarter when they were issued.

And what about the currency when this mess is over?

I heared that bitcoin will reach to $40k with in 2020. I can see worlds future in crypto-currencies . what do you think guyz ?

caught my interest, and had to read, who knows where bitcoin is going but it going!

How come 13000 USD?

Just one word for this content and information: wow!!!!
Thanks for sharing @kingscrown

Good News.

Whats the increase in ratio of purchasing bitcoins

Bitcoin has no stopping !!! 10000 USD is coming !!!

My account has been ban

There is a cash crisis in Zimbabwe. Cash is a comodity in Zimbabwe and to get it one has to pay a premium. So if you want to buy Bitcoin and you do not have cash and want to swipe your debit card you have to pay a premium for that. Thats why Bitcoin is at that price. Zimbabwe uses a multi currency system and does not have a local currency.

The country I grew up in. My thoughts go out to those I know living there. But I will not be sad to see Bob go.

Will all the Zimbabwean millionaires pump this BTC thing higher you thinking then eh!

So will there be a flux of people buying from Zimbabwe?

Good news

Amazing

This move sure gave a sharp rise on the Bitcoin price, it mananged to pass through the $7000 margin , and with the bitcoin , and for people in Zim i guess buying Bitcoins is surely their only way to crate value on their money, since Bitcoin price is rising as the lack of trust to the government increases. I guess was invented so save people''s value of money in such cases.

this is only my opinion on this case.

What's happening here!!! I can't understand
