[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Milestone: Half of Kenyans are now online, how long till half of them use Bitcoin?

Obviously half is abit of a stretch but 10% is also scrapping the bottom :)

I'd say closer to 30% is more credible.

I think Safaricom and Zuku will probably have better stats that are closer to believable.

Which brings me to the problem we face in Africa. Lack of credible statistics.

According to the CAK I am thus 5 people on the internet. Obviously not so. Also there are enough bots on twitter parading as Kenyan individuals.
