For the final episode of Season 2 of the Decode Fintech podcast, we decided to switch things up and have a listener call-in. Emeka, a fan of the podcast from Yaba, Lagos, had an interesting question - what would it take to get the majority of people to spend cryptocurrencies in daily life like they do with regular currencies?
To answer that question, we reached out to Timi Ajiboye, CEO of BuyCoins, a cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.
