That is not reasonable compare to our economy.
it's very reasonable. Upon the ban, Nigerians are investing much on bitcoin. Do you know that bitcoin has reached $49k today. Hopefully it will reached $50k by the end of this week.

BusinessRe: Jack Dorsey And Jay Z Invest 500 BTC To Make Bitcoin 'internet's Currency' by Johnnyessence(op): 11:18am On Feb 14, 2021
wow US celebrity and Twitter giant jack Dorsey are investing much on bitcoin. this is Amazing.
BusinessJack Dorsey And Jay Z Invest 500 BTC To Make Bitcoin 'internet's Currency' by Johnnyessence(op): 11:17am On Feb 14, 2021
Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey and rapper Jay Z have created an endowment to fund bitcoin development initially in Africa and India, Dorsey said on Friday.

The duo is putting 500 bitcoin, which is currently worth $23.6 million, in the endowment called ₿trust. The fund will be set up as a blind irrevocable trust, Dorsey said, adding that the duo won’t be giving any direction to the team.

₿trust is looking to hire three board members. The mission of the fund is to “make bitcoin the internet's currency,” a job application describes.

Government in India has so far been reluctant to embrace bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Friday’s move comes as New Delhi is inching closer to introducing a law that would ban private cryptocurrenciesin the nation. It is also looking to create its own digital currency.

"Even though India is the software development capital of the world, we haven't contributed to bitcoin core development in any significant way," explained Varun Deshpande, co-founder of OnJuno, which is building a digital banking platform from India for Asian Americans, to TechCrunch.

India plans to introduce law to ban Bitcoin, other private cryptocurrencies

"India always had the skills to contribute but lacked the right incentives. Today's initiative is even more significant since it provides the right incentives for developers from the world's largest democracy to contribute and have a say in bitcoin's protocol development and bring in a diversity of thoughts in shaping the future of money. The irony is as India prepares a bill to ban bitcoin in India, the world is turning to our massive technical talent in India to secure and safeguard the bitcoin network."

Africa, most especially Nigeria, on the other hand, has experienced a surge in cryptocurrency transactions in recent years. Last year, Nigerians traded more than $400 million worth of cryptocurrency on major local crypto exchanges, and the country is only second to the U.S. in terms of volume of bitcoin traded in the last five years.

Africans that trade cryptocurrencies rely on them because they offer protection against currency devaluation and for value exchange during cross-border transactions. In Nigeria, bitcoin trading became ubiquitous last year during the #EndSARS protests that rocked the country. When donations for the protests began to flow from all parts of the country and in the diaspora, the Nigerian government shut down the bank accounts used for this effort. But bitcoin became a lifeline keeping the crowdfunding activities alive.

Since then, there have been growing concerns that the Nigerian government had intentions to regulate cryptocurrency in the country. Last week, those doubts were actualized as the country's apex bank gave a directive to banks and financial institutions from dealing in cryptocurrency or facilitating payments for cryptocurrency exchange platforms.

Dorsey has long supported the adoption of cryptocurrency. Square already supports bitcoin and last year acquired about $50 million worth of bitcoin for its corporate treasury, and Twitter is studying the potential use of bitcoin to pay its employees and vendors.

Nigeria is now the second largest nation in the world trading bitcoin.
BusinessNigeria’s SEC Plans To Regulate Crypto On Hold In Light Of Central Bank Ban by Johnnyessence(op): 10:52am On Feb 14, 2021
Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Thursday it has put plans to regulate cryptocurrencies on hold in light of the central bank’s decision to ban them, according to a report by the Guardian Nigeria.

The regulatory body released a statement officially confirming any plans to regulate the cryptocurrencies are now on hold following a Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) directive ordering banks to close any accounts transacting with cryptocurrencies. 

“For the purpose of admittance into the SEC regulatory incubation framework, the assessment of all persons and products affected by the CBN circular of Feb. 5, 2021, is hereby put on hold until such persons are able to operate bank accounts within the Nigerian banking system,” the SEC said in a statement seen by the publication.



The CBN letter which was signed by Bello Hassan, Director of Banking Supervision, said it was reminding regulated banking institutions that “dealing in cryptocurrencies or facilitating payments for cryptocurrency exchanges is prohibited” and any breaches of the order would face “severe regulatory sanctions.”

Despite the announcement made by CBN, the Nigerian cryptocurrency community has been largely undeterred, using peer-to-peer exchange platforms to continue trading.

Foreign AffairsRe: Central Bank Of Kenya To Use Bitcoin As Reserve Currency by Johnnyessence(m): 10:52am On Feb 12, 2021
truthfulparrot:
This is fake news! This kind of desperate and false News were rolled out when MMM was about to collapse. Cryptocurrency started as a good idea until speculators and Ponzi manipulators took advantage of the fact that the market is not regulated to cash out big time
The racket is so wide and strongly manipulated by the casino merchants of this world. Sadly, just like looted funds from poor countries, the developed countries joined the bandwagon to cash out and make maximum gain before its imminent crash. Cryptocurrency is international MMM. Mark my words today, it will soon crash.

Most Nigerian youths are just lazy and are always looking for easy money.
