Yes.
I advise you to learn more from ConsenSys Quorum, an open-source protocol layer that enables enterprises to leverage Ethereum for their private or public production blockchain applications. Businesses can rely on ConsenSys Quorum to provide the enterprise-grade networks they need to unlock value with blockchain. On top of ConsenSys Quorum, you can integrate product modules from ConsenSys, third-party vendors, or your own in-house developers to build high-performance, customizable applications.

I have a film distribution platform on the blockchain which is actually the first Nigerian to do so.

Hi
Thank you for opening this post. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

I am barber, just turned 19 few weeks ago and I am supposed to start my uni education tomorrow but that is not the problem.

I earned upwards of 40... Maybe 60k most of which I aid my siblings with. But it's too demanding, like 14 or 15 hours a day everyday. And I have some skill trading forex but I don't do it now.

Right now I want to drop barbing and possibly school to learn blockchain development. My mom will prolly take me for deliverance. Lol.
I am buying a laptop tomorrow. Already dropped social media, right now its just Reddit and NL.

I am greatly worried about my future and tired of living inna trap.

I remember learning about Bitcoin like 7 years ago but couldn't get in till this year.

My parents can give moral advice but I need you on this one. Thanks

You can't survive with barbing, put someone there in your shop to deliver to you weekly/monthly while you chase your dreams

I am very impressed with what you are doing with your life at that very young age and I would advice you to believe more in yourself as you have made great decisions so far and you can always count on yourself.

In my opinion, You must get a university degree not because of only the degree but because of the exposure and you will discover yourself more. Haven said that, You will have to make a lot of sacrifices and when faced with the challenges, don’t quit.

Your path is identical to mine so I understand your pressure and how you are feeling. I studied Biochemistry, a very tedious course yet I was able to hustle and also still trade forex though my CGPA suffer a bit but if you are determined you can do it.

My final advice. Go to school, while in school you can make money from your barbing while you continue with your Forex.
I am a professional trader and I can tell you trading is a continuous thing. You keep learning everyday but I will advice you not to invest huge in Forex till you done with Studies. While studying you can be brushing up on your Forex(YouTube Videos is helpful) so when you done with studies you would five become a guru.

I must commend you with your kind of mentality. It’s rare to see that in youngies the f today. In all.. you have to believe in yourself cos you have made great decisions already.

Anyone reading this, pls walk away whenever you hear Forex.
You can make a million from Forex this month and lose 10 million next week.
Forex is not a sustainable source of income.

Op, unless you have up to 5000 dollars or more in Nigeria as trading capital, forex trading is not a job. Don't get me wrong. It is possible, although, extremely difficult to make 20 percent of what you invest in forex in a month But for sth to be a job, you need to be able to live directly off it. You can't grow a small acct if you keep pinching it, instead of reinvesting your gains.
If you have a clear system in your mind for fx, one in which you have mad accuracy, at least 75 percent for a small acct. And one in which you don't need more than 3 mins max to make a decision to cut or leave a trade going in or against your favour - then you should be able to combine it with learning blockchain.
As for school,you like IT so i don't really know how school fits into your plans. Don't go to university for formality sake. Go there to broaden your contact network.
The most important thing workwise u need in life is how to be productive in what you do, how to manage people's expectations and how to win mindgames with people and collect the money they owe you for services rendered. Your head is in the right direction - in addition to your current plans,focus on improving your mental fortitude by having a good relationship with God and also by watching good content on youtube like book of alpharonomy & pinkbooklessons so that you don't get involved in toxic relationships that can set you back for several years and improving your networking skills. Everything else go align.

While learning programming you will need a hustle that can take care of small bills. Which I feel the barbing can fit in.
Leaving barbing and focusing on programming alone will make you go broke for the time being ( unless you have another option)
As for school you can still go to school later but don’t call it off totally.
Education/degrees/skills prepares one for opportunities.

Learning blockchain technology just like that may be too demanding especially without money in your pocket you will lose focus....

I will suggest u keep your barber job then visit www.daba.school pay for Chris Ani's trade to earn course.... He is the best in Nigeria, learn to trade cryptocurrencies and make some money... When crypto starts paying your bills, quit your barbing job and learn your blockchain technology

Re: Should I Bet On Myself?; I Need Your Advice. by japhethGold: 3:57pm On Nov 14, 2021
Hello young man,
Great you have come to see our opinions on this.

I have this advice for you:
1. Go to university for it will distinguish you in all your hustle. You seem to be intelligent so getting a good grade from uni should not be a problem.
2. Go into block chain while you are in the uni. I am in bloc chain too so I can confirm that you can combine both blockchain learning and uni very well, especially if your course in uni is computer science or finance, economics and accounting.
3. Barbing is a quick cash skill that can give u money even in uni if you need cash quickly and blockchain market is down . Cryptocurrency market could enter a bear market when it is hard to make money, then barbing can help out.

I wish you all the best and God bless you.

well said. Since he already knows how to trade forex, he can build a carrier around it if he's got the capital. Moreover if he will manage greed 100% then he can earn from forex while learning blockchain development.

That barber's shop is a source of income, don't quit, a bird at hand is better than a million in the forest. Make sure you have your university education no matter what, it'd always be an added advantage in the future. Then, lastly talk to your Creator (GOD) about it, He will guide you through without any regret.

Lorex6 I greatly admire your courage and entrepreneurial spirit at such tender age.

Please forget whatever returns you are making on barbing while the income is really much personally I don't see it as a long term business except you are really able to grow it so big and of standard that it becomes a brand.

While learning blockchain or any other digital skill may take time to yield returns and most likely you will run into big challenges capable of killing your passion or commitment, the long term result is just massively overwhelming if you can focus and pull through.

As regards education I be fan of education oo, so please try and combine your academics with the side hustle, most likely you won't come out with excellent grades cause of your divided attention but make sure in that four years you master the skill. I am sure the sky wont stop you.
