I recently noticed that Nigeria is no longer loud on being against crypto, it seems as though in fact, they have approved it but I noticed also that the banks have not backed down on approving crypto transaction and I feel that is not too cool with us, but then web3 is unstoppable, just like the internet is and in fact when I thought if I want to swap my eth to usd and make some of my payments, it would be hard but it was the other way round, so I don't know what the government is waiting for to instruct banks to allow it again as we used to.

used to leave a portion of my crypto in altcoins hoping for growth, but after surviving some heavy dips, I decided to go for something more stable. I started parking funds in USDT and honestly, it changed how I manage risk.

Instead of stressing over charts, I now focus on ways to earn consistent passive yield using USDT. There’s a small circle I joined where we discuss this a lot real people, verified platforms, and no hype. I’ve learnt things I never came across on YouTube or Twitter.

Is anyone else here doing similar with USDT earning while staying stable?
What are your strategies? Let’s talk.

P.S.: DM if you want to connect privately or join the discussion group (not selling anything, just learning and sharing).

It's best to also use the group chat of the cryptocurrency exchange you use in trading, because most of the times, they run campaigns that can boost your trading power, making it easy for you to know when to exit a trade especially on the token or another one trending in the discussion group. That has always been a way I know what to get and when to enter and exit the market. It is not a financial advice but a call to help have an informed decision.

Several years back, the world was still in its growth phase and the way trades were initially by barter, directly trading goods for goods. This was inefficient, so commodity money emerged, where people us items with intrinsic value like shells, salt, or cattle for their trades. Around 600 BCE, the Lydians (modern-day Turkey) introduced the first standardised metal coins, often gold and silver, making trade easier and more uniform.

So centuries later, in China around the 7th century CE, paper money appeared, initially as receipts for coin deposits. This concept eventually spread to Europe. Over time, paper money evolved into fiat money, where its value is backed by government decree rather than a physical commodity.

What has seemed to be the major reason for all this transformation is, solving the problem of inconvenience and because everyone wants things to be easy, there has to be a form of advancement from a physical form to and advanced more virtual and now we have money on our mobile devices, we don't have to queue at the bank to send money abroad to our friends, loved ones or pay for goods.

I sat to think of this when I recently tried to make some purchase at night and then I asked myself, why all the opposition from governemts around the world if we as humans need convenience and ease on our side still try to continue to spend on the physical instead of paying more attention to the virtual. So if I am able to buy bitcoin and make my purchase as long as I have the internet, I believe we are definitely not limited in this space. Thanks to technology.

Omo, I was trading yesterday on my Quidax account when I wanted to convert my Bitcoin to naira and then boom, I saw this bullish trend break out on my, the first time such will be happening and then I had to sit patiently and settle for this.

This is my first experience of market volatility and I now understand what it means to use a stop loss but I think a psychological stop loss is the best because what if I am too greedy at the time and I didn't use my stop-loss properly, that is how I will get cut.

Top staking coin rankings include new crypto projects set to roll out staking products, and establish big caps with a large community of holders.

You can check out the top coins with vaults and rewards on APY and other instant benefits such as coin rewards.

Coin such as BTC has 8.9% APY ETH has an APY of 5–7%, BNB has around 30% APY
On the other hand, whenever you stake coins such QDX in the QDX vault, you get new coins whenever they're listed for free instead of buying them with your money.

Above all, your security is very important while trying to stake your assets. Always ensure that you check how secured the platform is. Try as much as you can to know how to spot likely bad staking websites and know how to identify good websites or platforms.

Passive income with crypto staking is a form of reward money earned from staking a coin in the support of the project.

Staking allows you to earn cryptocurrency as a reward for using your existing holdings to vouch for the accuracy of transactions on an underlying blockchain network. While this sounds complicated, everyday users can often do it directly from their digital wallets, or they can use services provided by crypto exchanges that will handle the technical details for a cut of the proceeds.

Generally speaking, cryptocurrency staking offers returns that exceed those you can earn in a savings account. However, staking is not without risk. You'll earn rewards in crypto, a volatile asset. Sometimes, you have to lock up your crypto for a set period of time an example is the QDX taking, where you earn rewards in newly listed tokens anytime they're listed. And there is a chance that you could lose some of the cryptocurrency you've staked as a penalty if the system doesn't work as expected.

That said, staking can also be a way to grow your crypto portfolio using assets you plan to hang onto for awhile. Staking is also a more energy efficient way of running a crypto network than the mining process used by Bitcoin and some others.

Of importance is your security, always ensure to get your details secured and check the security level of anywhere you'd be using before setting out to do anythingm

There are several ways you can make money with crytpocurrencies without having to trade.

Among many others, I'll highlight just very few of them below;

Staking; Staking rewards users for locking tokens on a protocol as collateral for transaction validation, is one of the best ways to earn a yield on assets held in a crypto-based portfolio.
On September 15th 2022, the Ethereum network switched from a proof-of-work (POW) consensus model to a proof-of-stake (POS) model, and Ether (ETH) holders can now stake in the Eth2 contract to earn up to 5.83%. Under this new POS system, token holders actively participate in transaction validation by locking their coins in nodes on the network that then vie for a chance to verify transactions, create new blocks and receive the rewards that come along with it. Worthy of mention is the QDX staking to earn rewards in new tokens whenever they're listed. All are done to support the coins/token.

2. Savings; It is no news that inflation is on its peak at times like this and many investors hedge their earnings using stable coins such as USDT, USDC and the likes by saving them to get some annual percentage yield (APY). This savings work like the banking system, but here the APY is usually higher ranging between 5% to 10% of saved funds an example is the USD savings on Quidax where you get between 1.64% and 10% for using the savings plan, depending on what you choose. Now imagine saving $100,000 where you can be getting $10,000 as APY and also hedging your funds from inflation.

3. Lend crypto for low-risk yields; The growth of the DeFi sector led to the development of a diverse crypto lending ecosystem, where users can deposit their cryptocurrencies to various lending protocols in exchange for rewards in the underlying token or in different assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether and various altcoins.

Aave is the top lending protocol at the moment and the platform offers yield opportunities for tokens on the Ethereum and Polygon network with its native coin MATIC.

4. Earn fees and tokens from providing liquidity; Liquidity provision is one of the primary components of a DeFi platform, and investors. who choose to provide funds to emerging platforms are often rewarded with high percentage returns on the amount staked, as well as a percentage of the fees generated by transactions within the pool.

The best cryptocurrencies to invest in without regrets will remain the leading cryptos. From data presented by the high authority websites on cryptocurrencies and blockchain, Coinmarketcap has listed cryptos by their ranks and information; Bitcoin is known to be the leading on the list, given the fact that it's the first cryptocurrency to be created to work on the blockchain.
Ethereum's the second after Bitcoin in terms of marketcap and this is because of the general usecase of Ether.
In all, the general recommendation for safer investment remains picking the top ten cryptocurrencies by marketcap to invest in. This is largely due to the fact that these cryptocurrencies has strived hard to make it up the list among the thousands of cryptos out there and this is based on the community and team backings, usecase, roadmaps, whit paper and the likes.
Of it all Buying Bitcoin still remains the overall best option. Don't forget your safety and remember to Buy Bitcoin on reputable platforms.

Crypto staking is the process of locking up crypto holdings in order to obtain rewards or earn interest. Cryptocurrencies are built with blockchain technology, in which crypto transactions are verified, and the resulting data is stored on the blockchain.
Your coins are still in your possession when you stake them. You're essentially putting those staked coins to work, and you're free to unstake them later if you want to trade them. The unstaking process may not be immediate; with some cryptocurrencies, you're required to stake coins for a minimum amount of time.
In most of the cases, the type of coin and where you stake matters a lot and can determine if your staked coin is safe because if the platform could be hacked and access is gained to the vault where coins are stored it could mean a lot. For example Quidax' has a tight security system that stored crypto offline (cold storage) and so the QDX token that's staked by customers are safer than any other exchanges storing coins online (hot storage).

Anyone who has even a passing familiarity with cryptocurrencies is aware of the several ways it may make them rich overnight. Although it can (try trading), it is by no means the only fascinating way that this piece of technology benefits society. Here are some fascinating applications of cryptocurrencies for people who can look past their wallets:
•Reward System; Numerous businesses have recognized the potential of cryptocurrencies as a way to reward users and administrators. This award may be determined by the services provided, customer loyalty, user engagement, or any other variety of factors.

•Private Transactions; While highlighting a significant and rigid feature of cryptocurrencies, this entry also serves as an example of one of the main criticisms of them. The use of cryptocurrencies is not centralized, therefore each transaction is the responsibility of the parties involved.

•Transparency; Each new block on a Blockchain creates a new, immutable record of the transactions of its user. It is a ledger with the complete financial history of each user, and this is one of its greater advantages. One such way is that it gives individuals a simple but immutable means of disclosing their financial history.

•Global Currency; The likelihood of cryptocurrencies becoming a major reserve currency is not as remote as remote as most people would think. Anyone with a working understanding of the idea of legal tenders and the possibilities of cryptocurrencies in an increasingly digital environment should be able to see the reasons for this. Less individuals use cash every day, and more people are exposed to digital transactions.

Outside of computers and blockchain technology, covenants are contract extensions that specify precise inclusions, restrictions, or regulations that the new owner must follow. For example, if a building is being sold, an applicable covenant may provide that the property's color may never be changed. If the color is altered, it may result in a penalty or the termination of the contract.

Bitcoin covenants are theoretical additions to the Bitcoin code that would allow individuals to retain some control over BTC that is no longer theirs. Simply said, you might impose limits on the Bitcoins you've transferred to another person.

Right now, whether on purpose or by accident, if you send any quantity of Bitcoin to a wallet, your ownership ends there. There is no way to get it back or to impose restrictions on how or for what the Bitcoin should be used.

You could send Bitcoin to someone with some bound limitations in the form of code, thanks to the proposed Bitcoin covenants. You might impose restrictions on the use of the Bitcoin, such as requiring that it be used only after a specified period of time or only after being sent back to your wallet.

You could allow or block certain wallets as well. You can even use a covenant to act as escrow to hold on to a certain amount of BTC for a period of time before it is available for use.

Advantages of Bitcoin covenants are not farfetched. Due to the irreversible nature of Bitcoin, there is currently no way to recover your private key or identify the owner of the wallet if someone manages to transfer money using your private key to their wallet (which would still be the case after covenants).

With Bitcoin covenants, you do have an additional layer of security that would limit how much bitcoin you could use. Simply said, if someone steals from you, you have the power to control where they spend their money and even restrict their ability to transmit anything but BTC back to you.

Bitcoin covenants also transform the currency's utility from simple value transfer to something more akin to smart contracts. You can establish payment due dates, make agreements over the payment system, and even block the transfer of Bitcoin in accordance with changing market prices.

Basically, when it comes to digital currency, we're kind of at a crossroads. There is still a significant amount of physical cash in circulation, and several institutions and governments have not yet adopted a central bank digital currency. In addition, a growing number of individuals are leading cashless lives, and the cryptocurrency bubble is still very much in motion. As decision-making governments, financial agencies, multinational organizations, and banks start to take digital currencies seriously as a solution for the future, this means that they are under closer examination than ever.

Digital currency can offer a wide range of advantages over traditional methods of payment, including faster payments and greater transparency. The following are the Pros of digital currency;

Faster transactions: Compared to transactions made through traditional financial institutions, those made using digital currencies are substantially faster. For instance, using a traditional bank to send money overseas might often take days for the recipient's account to receive the funds, while using digital currencies makes this process considerably faster, if not instant.

No charges: Even if the funds in your account are technically yours, banks nevertheless need to turn a profit by assessing fees including closing costs, ATM fees, and transfer costs. Additionally, it's common to pay fees while using your money abroad. A digital money can be completely yours to keep and use anyway you like, frequently with no expenses.

Payment tracking: Digital currencies, especially those that employ blockchain technology, are designed to enable transparency for tracking funds in the ways that they are designed. The records that are kept after each transaction allow you to check and see where your money is at any moment. This level of service just cannot be provided by legacy institutions.

Protection from fraud: When you purchase anything online the typical method, businesses save your personal and payment information, making them susceptible to fraud should they ever go missing. Since direct transactions with digital currencies are always anonymous, no sharing of personal information is ever necessary.

Better accessibility: The accessibility that digital currency provides is one of its major benefits. Anyone with access to the internet can log on and mine for their preferred coin or purchase money. This contrasts with traditional institutions, which frequently erect obstacles that restrict accessibility, such as a minimum contribution or a credit check.

No inflation: Numerous digital currencies are, by design, immune to inflation. For instance, there is a fixed supply of bitcoin since there is a limit amount of coins that can exist (21 million). The idea behind inflation is that because banks are constantly printing more money, its value decreases. In contrast, as the limit gets closer, the value of bitcoins will increase over time, making them a deflationary currency.

Cons of Digital Currencies?

Assets prone to volatility: Since the majority of digital currencies are still decentralized, neither a government nor a central bank backs them. They can lose or gain value quickly since they are not stable and are exposed to a great deal of volatility. Digital currency traders may have assets that are worth a lot one minute, but if the value drops, they may quickly lose value. CBDCs may be a much more secure alternative if they are ever issued with backing from banks or governments.

Security concerns: Although using digital currencies eliminates the need to save personal information online, the currency you possess could still be subject to hacks. There have been several instances where businesses that keep currency have had it stolen during an attack. Additionally, traditional banks can provide a greater range of security and recompense for customers whose money is stolen.

Lack of regulation: The well-established financial sector is highly regulated, which promotes stability and ensures that no improper behavior occurs. The majority of digital currencies are now exempt from this regulation, giving users independence but also making them more vulnerable to questionable behavior.

More accessible for criminals: Although the accessibility of digital currency provides advantages, there are drawbacks as well. The most concerning aspect of this greater access is that it can expose the currency to criminal elements attempting to abuse it. The use of digital currency for money laundering or funding illegal operations is what authorities are most worried about.

Future uncertainty: Unlike traditional payment methods that have endured and appear to have a bright future, digital money is still relatively young and yet in its infancy. The future is so unpredictable, and there is no assurance that the digital monies you already have will remain useable or retain value.

The initial stage of the procedure entails gaining broad community consensus. Even the most useful initiatives can take years to be accepted or rejected because the community is unable to come to an agreement.

A BIP is evaluated and worked on in a transparent manner after it is posted as a draft to the BIP GitHub, allowing everyone to see its development and the results of any further testing. Since the Bitcoin network is built on code, any protocol modifications must be reflected in the code, and miners must include a reference to their hashed block to indicate whether they agree or disagree with the implementation.

A change to the code must be approved by a large majority—roughly 95 percent—unless a good reason is provided for a lower threshold. This is due to the serious consequences some changes may have for miners.

When users (node operators) decide which version of Bitcoin Core to download and run a node that reflects that update, the final and formal approval of a BIP occurs automatically. The improved protocol is then recognized and accepted by all upgraded nodes.

Here are the primary steps in the approval process, in brief:

•To alter the Bitcoin core, anyone may submit a BIP;
•Editors need to pass the BIP;
•At least 95% of miners must consent to the BIP;
•The new software version must be adopted by the community.

The cryptocurrency markets provide a variety of opportunities for financial gain. This includes purchasing and holding onto digital currencies in the traditional sense as well as through staking, interest-bearing accounts, airdrops, play-to-earn games, and other methods.

Among other crypto strategies are;

Scalping: Scalping is a type of day trading. Traders that engage in several trades and profit from modest price increases in this instance are referred to as "scalpers." All day long, they continuously do this. Making as much money from little transactions as you can in a single trading day is the aim of scalping. Scalpers promptly leave the market once their aim has been reached since they set targets for earnings and losses.
Position Trading: Position trading is a long-term trading tactic. It is comparable to hodling, with one key distinction: with hodling, you purchase the asset in the hopes that its value will increase. Position trading, on the other hand, enables you to speculate an asset's price decreasing as well. Position trading is a long-term activity, similar to hodling. So, we're talking months or years here. Although the profit is higher, the risk is also higher. It takes a lot of self-control to trade positions since position traders don't care about temporary price fluctuations.
Arbitrage: Beginners can easily generate money with the arbitrage approach. Initially, you might not make a lot of money, but the risk is really minimal. Coin prices vary on various exchanges, which is important to understand when discussing arbitrage trading. Therefore, Bitcoin can be trading for $45,000 on Quidax and $45,100 on another exchange.

Having a basic understanding of what a cryptocurrency is would help to know how they differ. The primary distinctions among the various cryptocurrencies include the methods of coin production and their usage.

The production of some coins, like Bitcoin, Dash, and Monero, is a process known as "mining," which entails employing potent computers to solve challenging cryptographic problems. The mechanism gives coins to the successful "miner" after a problem is solved (bitcoins, dash coins, etc.). The miner can later market the coins for sale.

Some coins, like NEM (XEM), use different kinds of algorithms that don't need a lot of processing power. Then there are currencies that are produced by an entity that backs the money, such as ripple and IOTA, which cannot be mined.

When it comes to spending, Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that is most widely accepted by retailers and service providers . Others, such Litecoin and Dash, are aiming to expand the range of transactions available to their owners. However, some currencies' main purpose is not to be used for daily purchases like buying coffee or clothes. For instance, ether is intended to be used as payment for the blockchain-based Ethereum platform's services, as well as to build and use applications on it. Other important differences are the privacy and transaction speed that a cryptocurrency offers.

Lastly, As units of cryptocurrency, “coin” and “token” mean exactly the same thing, the difference is technical. Coins are the native cryptocurrencies of the blockchain they run on. Bitcoin is a coin because it runs on the Bitcoin blockchain. Ether is a coin because it runs on the Ethereum blockchain. Tether is a token. The token maker created it to run on Ethereum, not on its own blockchain. Cardano is a coin because it runs on its own blockchain, while Uniswap is a token that runs on Ethereum.

The problem of double-spending is one of the main worries for any cryptocurrency developer. This refers to the occurrence of a person using a balance of a particular cryptocurrency more than once, effectively leading to a discrepancy between the spending history and the quantity of that cryptocurrency that is actually available as well as how it is allocated.

Cash does not have the problem of double-spending; if you pay for a commodity with a $10 bill and give it to the person who sells it, you cannot use that same $10 money again to buy something else.

However, a transaction made with a digital money like bitcoin only happens online. This indicates that it is possible to replicate the transaction details and rebroadcast them, allowing a single owner to spend the same amount of BTC several times. A technical issue that arises with the notion of a digital currency is the ability for somebody to duplicate the digital money and spend it simultaneously at two or more places.

This 'double-spend' problem is prevented in blockchain-based cryptocurrency assets, such as Bitcoin by using a consensus mechanism known as proof-of-work (PoW). This PoW is carried out by a decentralized network of 'miners' who not only secure the fidelity of the past transactions on the blockchain's ledger but also detect and prevent double-spending.
