mmm users said the same thing grin

Why will you even think of this myopic statement? A digital currency that has use case is what u referring to as MMM?

Do you know you can pay for many things with crypto? Do you know you can book a flight with crypto? Do you know you can get into real estate with crypto? Do you know you can go into agriculture with crypto? All of that are use cases which makes crypto to be a legal tender.

Don't always hope on working 5-9 job. You can never be wealthy by working all your life. Crypto has turned many to multi millionaires in dollars. Why other are sleeping bad mouthing crypto and remaining in poverty, the wise ones are investing in crypto for their futures and the future of their children.

Be guided. Don't say I didn't tell you.

bros if we wail, it is our wail.... The way you're talking it's like you are one of those guys that can't afford to buy cryptocurrency and is envious of those that can, and are making it, so you just want the system to crash... You better go and borrow money and start moving forward... Nonsense..

Don't mind the guy. He doesn't understand the word crypto let alone know how valuable it is. People like this don't dream of becoming wealthy in life. They feel, it is impossible for them to be rich and wealthy in life.

decentralized is blockchain, I don't have a problem with blockchain, it's a beautiful idea but Bitcoin as a currency is a ponzi scheme


I don't understand why you are calling me dumb, it's not my fault that you can't understand something you claim to understand cheesy


The very essence that you call bitcoin a Ponzi scheme means you dont know what bitcoin is nor do you know what a ponzi scheme is.

Have you ever even read the whitepaper of bitcoin? No you haven't this is where your argument falls apart and you your self is a speculator. By all accounts you are saying a stock is a ponzi by your definition.

Please tell me in the bitcoin whitepaper that it promises above market returns or to recruit new investors? Show me the pyramid? There are people who push gold.. who says gold will always hold its value, what happens if it considered illegal? Diamonds are controlled and regulated to articulate the price..

So basically you proved you have no idea what you are talking about.

Hold on to your Naira fool because its sinking like a rock and the banks are basically telling you our own currency has no value and stop using USD because its the only thing keeping us together.

Simple economics. Crypto currency are valued in dollars.So essentially its increasing the demand for dollars. Which I understand from the part of CBN. But who wants shit Naira that loses value like pure water? Are they done giving dollars to Dangote at 335 or not?

supply of bitcoin being fixed means nothing, it will only inflate the value further

bitcoin is also fiat, what is the intrinsic value of bitcoin?

When something is fixed, it will become scarce as time goes on which will make people demand for it to rise and in return makes it to appreciate.

This is not something they print like physical money. Once the amount that is pumped out during the launching period get exhausted, you can only then buy from someone that already has it.

Due to this, it will become so scarce. This is the principle of crypto. It still baffles me why you refering a cashless token with a realistic use case to an MMM. Very surprising. You better secure your future by buying any useful crypto coin and hold it for long term. Don't blame yourself in later years to come by saying have I known.

how can bitcoin become the currency of the world?

cheesy cheesy do you know how much is in circulation in the world? if 1 million bitcoins is worth 37 billion $

21 million bitcoins is the total that will ever exist, that cant even service california alone talkless of the entire world, its blockchain technology that the world likes not bitcoin

That's what makes it to be a scarce commodity young man. Because inflation can never affect it unlike physical money that they print here and there.

You have to be really dense to not know this is their response to the end sars protest.


November last year, CBN banned all direct transfers to Nigerian bank accounts from outside the country. You can recieve money but not more than $5000 and not directly to your bank account, you’d need to go to the bank, provide ID and recieve in Cash.

Now, CBN banner crypto. Remember during the protest, after bank transfers were banned from sites like flutter wave, the people switched to crypto! Now the crypto is gone, people died and the protest is looking like it was for nothing!

Sorry that I just hopped in here with a few questions. To open a Gtbank account in Ghana for example, does one have to go there physically or could it be done online? Secondly, if money is paid into a Ghana Gtbank account and the owner (whether Nigerian or not) is in Nigeria, can one cash out Naira in any Gtbank or other bank's ATM? I would appreciate your explanation. Thanks.

Yes na. Was it not in the travel section a guy said he bought 0.8 bitcoin since 2015 and lost the login details since that time and as God will have it, he ended up finding the piece of paper he wrote the login details to his bitcoin wallet.

Guess how much he sold the 0.8 bitcoin this 2021?

12 million naira. Tell me if perhaps he kept 12 million naira by now won't the value depreciate.

That's how valuable crypto is if you can be patient to hold it for long.

Again, NO government on this earth wants this crypto. crypto is a business of the 21st century, you need not to own an oil block to be a millionaire. Cryptos will be packing the limited available hard currency from the CBN, sorry, it is what it is. This crypto is better than the Dangote business. some NL members are crypto millionaires already.

Remove all the insult and see if you made any atom of sense! You can engage people without resorting to insult but I guess your parent didn’t teach you that and even if they did, it’s obvious you learnt very little of nothing at all!

Buhari and Trump share one trait together-that is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Bitcoin is at the heart of 2 of Buhari major interest-thst is a stable naira and his war against corruption. This ban on crypto is an extremely blunt way of dealing with these 2 problems. It will simply cause pain with no gain.

Solution to the forex crisis is to free the Naira and let it be market determined. Buhari has refused this hence his use of archaic and unworkable policies to address the issue

Yes, cryptos can be used for corruption but it's mostly used by these yahoo boys to collect overseas cash. If you want to stop their nefarious activities, a crypto ban isn't the way as numerous others use it too.

For some reason, I believe there's going to be a policy somersault cause the outcry will be too much. Then again if PMB refused to budge for over a year over the lamentable closure of the land borders, crypto users should keep their fingers crossed.

Anyone who deals in Bitcoin uses it to survive. This policy will adversely affect hundreds of thousands easily.

This is what you get when archaic and museum object like Mohammed Buhari, a stark economic illiterate is placed in position of power. The government of Buhari and Osinbajo has inflicted so much pain on Nigerians, pain never experienced before except during the civil war and mid eighties which, incidentally was during Buhari's draconian regime. When will Nigeria stop appointing a banker as CBN Governor?

To those who voted Buhari and Osinbajo because of tribe and religion, are you enjoying their evil and wicked policies?

Buhari bares 50% of the problem. Emefiele the rest.

These policies are 100% Buhari influenced in a quack move to stem a devaluation of the Naira. Emefiele's fault is basically not telling the president to shoo. The CBN is semi-autonomous and it was made so to prevent political meddling.

Sanusi would never have been so submissive. Both bare 90% of the fault for the squalid state of the economy today.

Osinbajo is innocent. He's a figurehead and going against his boss won't be wise as was the case with Atiku. His 8 year loyalty will grant him Buhari's endorsement for the presidency in 2023.
Osinbajo will scrap most of these policies.

Many deputies have turned out to be the direct opposite of their boss upon assumption of power and he won't be different.

Re: CBN New Policy On Cryptocurrency: What You Should Know by pacespot(m): 1:45am On Feb 06, 2021
India is also taking a similar step to create its own digital currency and ban all the privately owned cryptocurrencies. I think it is a move by hedge funds and those big money investors to stiffle out the masses from having too much influence on financial instruments. We also saw similar move recently in Wall Street when some stocks were set to close-only and consequently inaccessible for trading for retail traders, stocks such as GameStop were closed out by brokers to prevent retail traders from opening a new position, except those of hedge funds. I think there is some kind of big financial war going on of late between the big institutional investors and retail traders, those big money bags don't want the masses to enjoy the same kind of privileges they have been enjoying for years. They think all these financial instruments like cryptocurrencies are giving too much powers to the people, so they want to control them. Up till now, USA has not officially accepted Bitcoin as an alternative for storing of wealth like gold is used as a hedge against inflation, though understandably being the owner of the largest forex reserve currency in the world, the green back.
