Fellow nairalanders,

I've come to know that bitcoin( BTC) is the next big thing.
The way the international price is appreciating over the dollar is amazing. Btc seems to be the most accepted cryptocurrency currently. Facebook accepts it for payment of some of its apps. Countries like Australia are now developing their own version of bitcoin. India has accepted it as a means of payment
CBN is looking into currently researching to know if it should adopt it.

We know a lot of ponzi use btc as a means of payment due to its seamless method of payment, but that should not blind us from seeing btc is the next big thing.

The price is very volatile and when a trader sees volatility, its some big money he/she is seeing.

Anyone that knows how to trade btc shld fall in and enlighten us. Also, anybody that have used blockchain, coinbase and other wallets should help us compare them; costs, security, availability and other criteria.

Let's share our experience with exchanges; bitx, nairaex, local bitcoin etc. I will also appreciate how ibcan trade on international platforms. I tried trading on coinbase and was told trading services is not available for Nigerians. Please we need more info of platforms where Nigerians could trade.
