According to a 2020 online survey, 32% of participating Nigerians used cryptocurrencies. With a total cryptocurrency transaction volume amounting to $400M, Nigeria ranks third after the United States and Russia according to 2020 estimates.
TokTok is reimagining what it truly means to think globally and act locally. Our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional financial systems and Bitcoin adoption by providing an intuitive, culturally-appropriate interface that speaks to users in Pidgin English.
Onboarding the next million Nigerian Bitcoin millionaires in their native tongue: Pidgin.
What we have is a problem to communicate.
Do you know how Mr. Beast blew up? By thinking globally and acting locally.
Mr. Beast blew up because he hired well-known actors to re-dub his voice on his videos. There are stories of him hiring the voice actor for Spider-Man to re-dub his voice in different countries.
What the learner learns is a function of what they already know.
- The Kullback-Leibler Divergence
Acting globally and thinking locally is how we onboard the next million Nigerian millionaires to the Stacks ecosystem. Nigeria already houses a large percentage of the world's bitcoin millionaires...it's time to zero to n this achievement by reimaigining and onboarding and UI/UX interface that speaks in the native Nigerian tongue: pidgin.
