How Chris became King of Blockchain in Nigeria

Before emerging Africa’s leading Crypto influencer, Chris was already the King of Blockchain in Nigeria. So how did it all begin? Just check this amazing summary out!

In 2017, Chris founded the first bitcoin and crypto trading education platform in Nigeria, Cryptohub which now has membership and website visits from several nations across the world. He always made it clear that his primary goal was to educate the world about the new revolutionary system that had the potential to put back financial power into the hands of the people. CryptoHub is one of the many arms of Digital Abundance, a platform focused on Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency trading education. The Digital Abundance Business Academic (DABA) is one amazing platform which Chris has used to ‘magically’ turn young people into millionaires, some of them within a period as short as 30 days. Sounds strange but those who followed his teachings in Daba.school succeeded in encountering life-changing wealth.

Daba.school is a place where highly skilled tutors train people across the world on important areas of the crypto world and other entrepreneurship skills. It is a platform which aims to equip African youth with digital high-income skills that will help them gain financial freedom. One of Chris’s books, Crypto 101: A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, is fast becoming one of the best-selling books on Cryptocurrency written by an African author.

Here’s how he became a blockchain king in Nigeria and this is an inspirational tip on how to steadfastly strive to achieve success in life. Sometime in 2016, Chris searched the internet expectantly for knowledge on every essential fact he needed about Bitcoin. That was when he stumbled upon Andreas Antonopoulos, an early Bitcoin advocate. Chris then devoted another 12 hours absorbing as much information about Bitcoin as he could from the internet after which he became a changed person. He then made the life-changing decision to buy his first Bitcoin but he didn’t even have the money at that time. Well, he is a typical example of what he always teaches, that money is never a stumbling block to wealth but mindset and determination. Chris got a loan of N200 thousand from a friend and bought his first Bitcoin at a time it was sold only around $600. The journey to the top began.

Chris wanted to spread his knowledge about Bitcoin with others, so he started hosting local meetups around Lagos. That was when CryptoHub club came to reality as a platform that provides online courses about Crypto. Students would learn everything from the fundamentals of cryptocurrency to more advanced topics like learning how to day trade. Chris has written books on the topics of Bitcoin and Crypto. The impact he has made since his starting the Bitcoin education platform is huge. There’s this story of a guy who started off with $500 with the guidance of Chris, and turned it into over $2000 within a few months. That is the unbelievable transformational power of Daba.School. The whatsapp monetization course in this school has transformed several lives across the world. Chris never fails to let his students and several other wealth-hungry individuals know that bitcoin and blockchain technology will drive global economic revolution and social change. His unique strategies in using bitcoin and blockchain technology to spread digital abundance to millions of people across the world stands him out in Nigeria as a rare entrepreneur.

Chris has organized and attended several workshops and seminars on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology across the world, making him a five-star general in the Nigerian community of crypto traders and blockchain entrepreneurs.
