[kictanet] Cryptocurrency Trading

[Ali Hussein]

@Dorcas and others

This list is ahead in trying to formulate a way forward on this most
current conversation. My take is this:-

Conversations around Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies cannot be held in
isolation of the core Technology driving this revolution. This Technology
is called Blockchain.

Please check out the policy brief that KICTANet did in collaboration with
various stakeholders including MOICT, IBM, Tech entrepreneurs and other
stakeholders.

​I agree Dorcas. The conversation must be expanded and a critical path
mapped.
