So due to how Naira misbehaving.

I went and withdrew 70% of my savings from the bank and bought $19,000 worth of USDT at N863 per dollar on binance p2p

Guess what.


I just check and they're currently selling usdt there at 722 naira.



My hard earned money just lost like that


I just deleted the app... If they like let them make it drop to N400


Crypto have really delt with me



Last year it was one merchant token that ripped me off $2000
Then Shiba Inu ripped me $1200


Anytime I do anything crypto related I lose money


Will anyone advice me to sell my USDT now at 722 and accept my loss or wait untill December if Naira will lose value further to say N900 to a dollar


Will dollar be scarce in December?


Honest opinions

Don't see bruh, naira will fall. I hope you will recoup

All the best

There's a difference between "Crypto Is Not Just For Me" and "Crypto Is Just Not For Me".

The first one means crypto is not for you alone, while the second one means crypto is simply not for you.

My brother, if you know what's good for you, dump those dollars asap. I was a victim too, but I've cut my losses and moved on.

If what my friend who's a bank manager told me yesterday is anything to go by, brother, it would be a miracle if dollar doesn't hit 380 naira by January.

What did he say bro?

Good you only tested the waters that cryptic coin ain’t for the faint-hearted, ignored that investment nonsense for so long till I put it in some decent sum that’s now reduced to about 35% of my input....not even bothering with it I ain’t selling till it rises to at least the sum invested even if it takes eons lol unless I do a 360.
The sum isn’t necessarily a disposable income but I can still comfortably afford to do that.I can’t imagine how people who put in their all in things like this feel?sad,stupid and depressed I guess.it’s crazy out there!

Lol. It has been months. Maybe about a year now sef. So irrespective of the current rate, I have gained. I don’t even know the password anymore. It is not something I can put my hard earned money into. I have seen people get suicidal because of this crypto.

Bro when you ventured into crypto , you are not supposed to expect a good return in few days , remember btc was $60,000 some times ago , so don’t be in a rush to sell , as long as you didn’t use your last savings to venture into it , everyone’s is affected as well

What did ur friend tell u

My best advice to you is to dump the USD you have right now because the new Cashless policy plus the plan of the CBN to limit local currency in circulation is going to reduce the amount of local currency that would be used to chase USD. it will fall further because right now the demand pull on the Naira has flattened out because the speculators cannot find any other outlet to dump naira and hold USD coupled with the fact that even advanced nations would soon begin redesign of their currency and adopt the use of digital currency.

somehow:


There's no bottom out with USDT which is a stable coin. USDT is pegged to real currency - Dollar, So whatever happens to the real dollar against Naira happens to USDT.

What he did was buy late, even if he bought real dollars, it still would have lost against the naira.

One thing though, naira is known to be unstable, don't be surprised to see it bounce back to ₦800+ before weekend.

Yes I was actually talking crypto generally... but watch it with these stable coins ... tether ust depegged from $1 and is now 0.03 or so to a dollar ! Usdt occasionally depegs but goes back to a dollar.. has depegged currently.. some have said it's not backed with real dollar asset 1 to 1.
Usdd has now depegged too.. busd is the only one I know that is fully backed with dollar equivalent... maybe also usdc

1. Historically, the influx of Diasporans for Xmas tend to bring in more forex into the parallel market.
2. CPI printed a good number in US yesterday and $ tanked against all major currencies---that's the reprieve you saw in the market. It ain't got nothing to do with FG or EFCC.

I have got calls last week about two young lads that committed suicide in Nigeria because of crypto. One left a note to the effect while the other was reported to have been depressed for more than two months. That's two unreported death within one month. So...you see...you are still alive which means that you are not doing bad after all.

I can give you a link to go and read up on other people's losses. You will notice that what you lost is just a penny to the amount of losses you will see there. A lot of people are hurting. But then, that's the nature of the market---sell fantasy to peasants and turn them to bag holders on the long term.

Do you think it will still rise or fall?

I’m having a laugh again cos it seems you just dashed Binance or the trading platform you’re on your 20k chops money including the appreciation! grin grin

Why did you put in money when you wouldn’t bother with it tho?lol maybe you can try buying foreign stocks instead if you’re not doing that already.it’s volatile too but can be managed better by the average joe compared to crypto at least you’re investing in real companies not cryptic coins lol!

Bro I’ll advise you sell now and count your losses, the naira is not going to deep anytime soon, not with this issue of the US govt not accepting bills beyond 2021 outside the States by January, the market will be flooded with dollars as most guys hoarding it will be letting go of theirs, the naira is bouncing back. Dangote opening his refinery will give the naira more strength.

Why do u think it will go to N600


Throughout this year it has been depreciating non stop


Na for December way e suppose increase e come the reduce.... nawaoo

It went up to 865 because of the recent news that cbn will be changing from old to new naira notes, everyone started rushing to change their naira stock pile to dollar. But soon as d new naira note role out it will start appreciating further

Let's tell ourselves the truth, Naira won't get to ₦860 again...it will hover around ₦750 at best and will go lower when new notes hit the market.

Why will it get lower?

Wiseonetemmy:
Of you can take this advice, you will laugh last. The truth is that the dollar is going to crash which will make naira appreciate. But instead of just keeping all your usdt, you can buy cryptos with 20% of that usdt. The 20% you invest will multiply your usdt multiple times in 1-2 years if you have the patience to wait. Cryptos are at their cheapest right now and it will be a sad news if you don't take advantage of the low prices now.

Why will naira appreciate ?

I sold dollar at #640 yesterday. The Mallam was even reluctant to accept it from me.

You will be lucky to see it at 500 naira by December. It's crashing rapidly.
The real shock will come in February if and when The US central bank implement their plan to withdraw dollar notes printed before 2021 out of circulation.

Change your Dollar now.
fake news...not available on any US cable news. Sorry bro, but you have been scammed...and the same has risen to 720 today.

Sorry. But I don't want naira to loose value, I want it to gained more value as millions of Nigerians lives depend on it.

Nigerians are complaining of high depreciation of naira to dollar. Those in crypto and other forex speculation businesses and those abroad are praying for Naira to crash. My friends abroad are always threatening their contractors to speed us their projects whenever Naira falls. That is when they send money to acquire key items in BOM and fast track the projects. They are always speculating about future fall of Naira. They are the ones that made me know Labour in a building projects and other technical related fields are suffering as the labour cost has almost remain the same or about 10% or 20% increment in almost two decades. Only core professional fees increased. The artisans are suffering.

Those abroad that have been sending money home for domestic project staff and families, even when Naira depreciates, they will never increase the amount and mostly, they send money in Naira.

Sometimes I feel bad about how carefree I am about my 20k. It is good money in current Nigeria. As at when I put it, the plan wasn’t to abandon it. It just didn’t seem like my kind of thing. It didn’t seem legit and free of manipulations. So, I shelved it. Let me try to log in now.
