Bitcoin is used over the world, it has an exchange rate for currencies all over the world and most websites like Amazon and co recommend bitcoin for payment, you can use it to shop online and lots more. It's a digital currency, so what are you saying? FuckTheMod: |

The age of cryptocurrency have just begun. Please BITCOIN is not related to MMM. BITCOIN IS NOT A PONZI SCHEME Maybe SEC are scared as more enlightened middle class Nigerians are dumping our Naira for Bitcoin. Just as people have been saving their money in Dollars so also are people saving and growing their money in BITCOIN. |

If the government is talking about folks who are taking undue advantage of the evolving digital currency to scam people, that I understand. But if these government officials and agencies are calling bitcoin and real cryptocurrencies scam, they must be dummies. We read in the news how Nigerian government is planning to adopt cryptocurrency, that's news. However for most poor people who are ever scared of anything called investment, this is a massive news for them. They think they understand this. Its important for people to knw that no government needs endorse bitcoin. Just like they don't have to endorse the internet, its a revolution of the 21st century you either flow with the direction of this wind or struggle forever. Bitcoin is used in Nigeria, government formal adoption or not. They cannot do anything against it but for it. The time has come for people to take their own destiny in their hands. The government that has failed in everything, that cannot revive the economy cannot give me any financial advise. |

How can someone call Bitcoin a scam, na wa oo...of which most mumu on NL will just rant without any knowledge of what this is. If Bitcoin is a scam then Bank is a scam. Investing your Bitcoin into ponzi scheme is what they should warn Nigerians about not the currency, i just tire for this SEC. Do they even have graduates there? |

bydot1: Lol. Many Nigerians are grossly ignorant. Chia. God forbid i waste my time on you. Where there not websites accepting e-gold and Liberty reserve before now. Smh. I remember withdrawing cash with an egold debit card then in Ghana. Then what happened to e-gold? Lol. Na una sabi U saw my friend losing millions cos of the sudden drop in value of bit coin but u chose to ignore that and bring up a lame argument. There is difference between investment and using cryptos as a means of payment. People are buy bitcoon with the hope of it increasing in value over time. Lol |
Re: Beware Of Bitcoin, Swisscoin, Others, SEC Warns Nigerians by Truth234(m): 12:51pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
progress69: Liberty Reserve is different from Cryptocurrencies, both are digital currencies, but while the encryption technique in cryptocurrencies regulate the generation of units, e-currencies like LR, E-gold, E-bullion, etc are not regulated. The developers can input any amount and sell, no scarcity, nothing. While that is not possible with crypto, its security is second to none. That is why financial institutions across the world are looking to adopt crypto encryption method for their security. |
Re: Beware Of Bitcoin, Swisscoin, Others, SEC Warns Nigerians by bydot1(m): 1:10pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
progress69:Do your research before you argue. e-gold and LR were not accepted by all web merchants. Go and do your research and you will realize that almost all merchants accepts Bitcoin, the popular Amazon does too. Apple, Microsoft, Dell accepts Bitcoin |

it is a shame that SEC is saying this, cryptocurrency is already part of our financial solution, just like fiat money, in developed ATM machines has been designed to welcome this innovation, i dont know why we always like to carry last for this part of the world, bitcoin and other cryptos can not caged of taxed by FG, that is the reason for what SEC is saying not that they really care about the populace, no wonder naira is experiencing free fall. Do you know that cryptocurrency has made many millionaires in Nigeria? as a matter of fact i have made reasonable income from bitcoin, please before you join the bandwagon to condemn a thing try to do your due diligent... long live cryptos. 1 Like |

psalmsjob: There are lots of lazy and greedy people all over the world, who are simply interested in harvesting money without labour. Because of this, most of them have lost the ability to reason at all. An e-currency scheme that is not regulated, when you lose it, how do you seek redress. I shared the post below in another thread and ignorants and naive people called me a detractor. I simply laughed. I quoted a US case in which the judge clearly said the person whose bitcoins were stolen, cannot get justice before the law, simply because bitcoin is not known to the Law. cosade: 1 Like |

cosade:Those people calling you detractor are the people promoting the idea of Bitcoin Investment program to defraud people. And their intended targets are too greedy to listen and reason based on such revelation. The youths in Nigeria are at best educated illiterates, the worst kind of illiterates there is. They think they know more than everybody and everything. Thank you for digging this information up and storing here as a testimonial. 1 Like |
