I know that bitcoin usage in Nigeria has been stunted somewhat by the association with scammers. Has that perception improved at all recently? Also, is the term"bitcoin" used as a shorthand for any crypto, as I know is the case in some parts of the world.
Yes, that perception has largely changed and is changing every day. Regular folks now talk about Bitcoin, people use it for remittances as well. The EndSars protests which were funded using bitcoin donations were a watershed moment for this change in perception as well.
No, it's not, when people say crypto, they actually mean it. When you find someone who says Bitcoin, then they're really talking about Bitcoin
