Most common questions i get is...
WHERE CAN I BUY BITCOIN AND HOW DO I CONVERT MY BITCOIN TO NAIRA?

Now there are online exchangers. Trusted exchangers who will pay directly to your account the equivalent of the bitcoin you send to them.
One notable exchanger is bitx. You can register with them on www.bitx.com
There are also individual bitcoin buyers that can easily buy bitcoin from you or sell to you. (please in this case you have to be very careful with who you buy from because there are many scammers online)

This is brilliant analysis, thanks a lot. I'm yet to start but have been doing some research on the bitcoin thingy to get informed b4 i commit myself.

I have two questions:

I thought Bitx was itself a wallet? if i have a bitx account, would i still need blockchaininfo?
secondly about clicking links, during my search i found one of the easy way to earn small btc was to click on links on certain sites. are you saying such practice will endanger the wallet?

thanks

Even if it were to crash today (which thankfully I know it wont) it has served its purpose. I cannot begin to count the thousands if not millions who were on the brink of starvation but for MMM.

I know of someone who recently PH and was paired with more than 30 persons. He was unhappy with it but I saw it as a good move because a lot of those may likely be on the lower economic rung who need the money for basic transactions. A lot of those people will be able to use the money to buy things which they ordinarily would not have. Business will start moving, again, children back to school, in essence, money is circulating once again and more and more transactions are taking place. That is one of the easiest ways to end the recession.

IT will eventually crash, we know that. But why not allow it die its natural death? The vicious, unspeakably evil, wicked, demonic and callous campaign of OP and his likes will only serve to hasten the demise as people lose confidence in the system. As it is now, I truly believe the system can go for another one year, if not more, and one can only imagine the impact it would have.

Which business is without risks? The banks that crashed before the Soludo consolidation, what happened to depositors funds? What about the stockmarket slump of 2008-2009. What about reports that stock markts have lost over trillion (yes, trillion with T) in the past one year?
http://punchng.com/stock-market-lost-n1-732tn-one-year-buhari/. Dangote is said to have lost over a billion dollars, did he commit suicide? so whats really the big deal about mmm that you people won't allow us rest.

GET it: MMM has done for millions what you and your loud mouthed likes have never and most probably will never do, so why no mind your business?

Gbengageorge:


People have been warned on the site that MMM does not guarantee that you will have your money back , that's why they said "use your spare money", So MMM is meant to be enjoyed while it lasts.

No mind am. Drinking viagra for another man's impotence. Make him no go find better work do and stop being a nuisance.

LOL! Is that for real?

This billyonaire dude is one of Nairaland's biggest disappointment and his' is on par with Musiwa. Keep claiming imaginary wealth like a fake ass wannabe that you are. That was how you promised to donate towards TeHN move to help a Nairalander and you couldn't drop a kobo after the unnessary bragging.

Comparing billyonaire to musiwa is an insult to the latter. I wince each time I see those comments of his.

For his pretentious ramblings, insufferable snobbishness, empty boastfulness, barren rhetorics, and hopelessly fake "rich dude" facade he keeps deceiving himself with, I'm not sure I've come across a more irritating Nairalander.

Bad Belle Messenger (BBM). All una prayer make MMM crash no go work.
MMM has come to stay so if you can't pull it down why not join the moving train rather than having sleepless nights praying that it crash.
All of you wishing that MMM crash, holy goooooohst firrrreeee.

No mind them. Upon all thier bad belleism, membership continues to grow. MMM has brought succor to countless families, yet some desperatly evil agents are doing thier best to bring it down. But thier Plans no go work!!

Long live MMMM!!!!!

Its almost becoming laughable. The sustained, unrelenting move by some wicked souls to bring down MMM by all means.

so whats the connection between his suicide and MMM?

useless bloggers

seriously the frequency of prison breaks is becoming alarming. This year alone i can recall more than 3 episodes of prison breaks.

@ Kelechi, the way you carry the thing for head.

But you've not told us what we dont already know. Most is already on the website, so stop giving yourself high BP. If peeps commit suicide (God forbid), its not your life they're taking. So chill, guy.

BTW its spelled "millions"

fake hungry attention-seeking blogger looking for cheap subscriptions.

ive also heard this from an insider in one of the telecoms. its likely to be true

though i'm a man, honestly my cringes when i see what some ladies go through in the hands of these pervs. i cant count the numerous cases ive seen.

I was a petrol station in abuja when i saw a man right before my very eyes, bring out his hand from the window, grabbed the boobss of a lady before zooming off, leaving the stunned girl glaring after him.

another time i saw a group of about 3 men slapping the bum a young girl who was selling her wares, in broad daylight!! worse is they always go scot free.

truly distressing. something urgently must be done.

wow! the bile in FFK tone is too much naaa. seriously why is he taking it so personal? To point of insulting his background.

Even the ever garrulous Fayose has not been this personal against Jimoh, so whats FFK's beef?

OP missed it when she restricted the general decay to a particular gender.

Overall, there is an undeniable decay in values across both sexes. Teens are becoming far more vain, materialistic, disrespectful, sexually undisciplined, inordinately money-conscious than it was years back.

Hehehehe. Who are the spoilt boys straffing, themselves abi the well trained girls.

Let OP be deceiving her old self. Each time I pass Alen at night, I just marvel at the number of those easy lays that line the streets. And they keep growing in number!! I suppose those are the "well trained girls" that will become "good wives" one say.

yeye dey smell.

Buhari has always been a dullard with no certificate
Amaechi has always been a corrupt bastard
Ngige is a crook
Audu ogbe was chased of pdp seat because of fraud
Fashola is the only governor in the history of this world to say he only signs check and doesn't know what the money is used for
Fayemi looted ekiti dry without even constructing a single road from scratch to completion during his 4yrs as governor.

And PDP, presumably, is a party of angels and saints, no? A conglomeration of spotless cherubs heralded by the pantheon, your blameless, never-can-do wrong, beloved GEJ.

I laf in PDP.

No, I'm not going to hold brief for the PMB led govt. Its has made a lot of mistakes. What it needs are practical solutions, not blind, destructive criticisms.

The number of illiterates on this thread is astounding.

What the CBN was simply saying is that FG is not meeting its domestic obligations ie payments to contractors, etc. And its affecting the economy. He never said he's against borrowing.

The questions therefore is where will the money come from? printing more naira?? OF course not. We just have to borrow externally

I actually thought it was something commendable, but after reading the article, i have nothing but utter disgust.

The woman is clearly an unstable, attention-seeking, b00bs-enlarging, sexual exhibitionist.

Using a breast-implanted boobss to bf a SIX years old?? da fugg!! truly the possibility of incestuous feelings cannot be ruled out.

arrant rubbish. *spits*

Oh my!1

this is not encouraging news at all

Why has Obama or Clinton not call the Protesters to order?

Click on the link above.

Why should they?

Even if Soros induces people to protest, the question is, why on earth would he need to? You're probably not aware just how much Trump is hated by the establishment, liberal left, etc.

Its American, the land of freedom of speech. Just as Trump aligns with those who think you and I are no different from monkeys (check: Jeff Sessions, Mr Bannon, both of whom will likely from part of his administration), Mr Soros is fully entitled to his right to denounce the Trump presidency.

uduak2016:
Explain.

Our electoral system is far too immature, politicians far too desperate, state governors far too powerful and the electorate far too hungry/greedy/illiterate for the system to work.

Hope you know as a result of the electoral collage, the votes of those in the opposition in certain states (so called blue states or red states) will NEVER count. Hence the battle is always within the 'swing states'.

Imagine a PDP controlled state whose govenor knows all he needs is 50% of the votes for all the electoral votes to go to his party. He will mobilize all the state's machinery to that end. You could end up with a very disillusioned and marginalized minority which, from what we see are recipes for conflicts, especially in our type of society.

Furthermore, the electoral college will only work well in 2 mega party system like in the US. Such a scenario in Nigeria will disenfranchise those without the resources or connections to be part of the big two.

As it is now, the minority stiil have a vioce and are encouraged to vote.

In a hypothetical situation, if 75% of voters in say Katsina state vote for APC, the remaining 25% still have a voice and, along with other states, can determine the fate of the next president in favour of PDP.

FSBoperator:
The only idiots rioting over a Trump victory have been proven to be hired protesters sponsored by George Sorros.

I laff in FSB. Youre obviously confusing the average american voter with his/nigerian counterpart who, for a loaf of bread, will trade his own soul.

uduak2016:
Yes, it is very democratic. In fact I would prefer the same electoral system or laws in Nigeria. Here is why: The founding fathers of America were very smart individuals and saw that population imbalance in big states could disfranchise smaller states. They envisioned that the president will have to garner electoral votes from all states to clinch victory otherwise...someone could be president by simply winning popular(population votes) in these six states only; California, New York, Ohio, Cleveland, Michigan and Texas. So the rest of the 43 states and capital don't have a say abi? Would you yourself want that? Not fair at all. So the founding fathers were very smart and saw this coming. American electoral system is a balanced system that ensures that everyone or state is represented!

Now, let's discuss that in the context of Nigerian electoral system. Is it fair or do you know that a Northern presidential candidate can win a presidential election by winning all Northern states, including North Central and ride to victory assuming there was a low turnout in SW, SS and SE? American electoral laws were put in place to checkmate situations like this. I would prefer that our electoral laws be reformed to mirror that of America where every state is apportioned electoral votes based on the state's population. For example Lagos will have something like 40 electoral votes, Kaduna 25, Anambra 25, Kano 40, Oyo 20, Enugu 20, Rivers 25, Ekiti 10, Ebonyi 10, Bayelsa 11, e.t.c. It makes it very important for candidates to campaign in all states knowing that the popular votes alone will not ride him or her to victory but must get the electoral vote. A case study is Buhari, he was very reluctant to campaign in SE; because he already figured that Kano popular votes is pretty much the total of all SE popular votes; so makes no sense going there.

BUHARI WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, IF WE HAD AN AMERICAN ELECTORAL SYSTEM IN PLACE...NEVER! NORTHERN POPULAR VOTES WAS WHAT GAVE BUHARI VICTORY!

Electoral system is the worst thing that can happen to nigeria.

the irony is that the electoral college was supposed to prevent people like trump from becoming president, but it only ended up aiding him.

For the most part i agree with OP. The electoral college system has outlived its usefulness. they should adopt the Nigerian system: ie the overall votes AND a minimum number of votes in a specified number of states before you win presideny. That IMO would be more democratic

Linzo:
It has been like that for decades and all Americans were happy with it, so why bring up the issue of the undemocratic nature of the electoral college now that Trump wins with it based on the lay down procedure . We should stop juvenile crap and thank God for giving the world a person like Trump who will call black a black and white a white

almost 50% are NOT happy with it.

Hint: check the popular vote

omonnakoda:
We have a worse situation in Nigeria where Lagos has over 10 million and states like Ekiti and bayelsa with 1 or 2 million have the same number of Senators and are treated equally for presidential election

They have the same number of senators but different number of reps. The idea of the senate is to give every state, irrespective of your size, an equal voice

personally i think they should make it BOTH the popular and the electoral votes before one can be declared winner. If a candidate wins just one an loses the other, like Trump, then a rerun should hold.

this has to be one of the fastest growing threads of all time. 72 pages and counting in about 24hurs!!

The sad part is that over 70% of the comments are just pure **********.
