And prior to the CBN circular,Nigeria was No. 2 in the world in P2P Bitcoin volume . By that time, the economic sabotage of Nigeria by the sheer volume in this crypto has forced us to devalue our local currency naira twice in 1 year as they mopped up naira to buy USD and then exported them out of the country to a foreign country. Our inflation had increased astronomically too especially on imported goods and services because importers pay more to get USD as they got crowded out by crypto merchants.

Other import dependent countries should learn from our bad and horrible experience with these crypto instruments. They should regulate it and insist that only USD inflows must be used for trading them so they will not kill their local economy and currency.
How does investing incrypto affect the naira that is already battered by poor economic policies. If i but crypto qould i sell and bw paid in dollars? Is it not Naira i would bw paid? Do you know the direct remittances that has been made possible througj crypto? Wall street institutioms are setting up investment units and funds to invest in cryptocurrencies. Im talking about Fidelity, Morgan Stanley and the likes. The US even approved its fiest digital bank and is even taxing capital gains on crypto. Why are they not complaining that it is affecting the dollar? Somwtime you people should read. It helps

Sure, it's built on Distributed Ledger Technology. Yes, that's another name for blockchain technology.

Cryptocurrencies are used to make payments/move funds in the dark web and encourage opening of offshore accounts. That's why many governments consider it a huge threat.

I am a "Bitcoin hodler" though

The dollar remains the number one currency used to facilitate illicit deals. Make una leave all this story. All the loot that has gone out of Nigeria, did the politicians use crypto?

Crypto no matter what still leaves some form of record.

There is nothing more untrackable like cash.

These people are fear mongering on crypto because they can't control it.

Kindly have another look at your #3. Loosing your address is the least headache when you own cr. Two things you shouldn't joke with are private keys and seed phrase.

On countries than ban, there's no outright ban. Most of them have regulations even Nigeria where banks are now restricted can't ban it.

US is not Nigeria and they don't change their local currency to USD and when their merchants recieve the funds to buy Bitcoins, they don't ship the funds in millions of USD to a foreign country first for a certain period before repatriating it back to the USA.

The average American does not pick up the social cost of the crypto business by paying more to buy USD and even imported goods and services inside their own country.

But for the wisdom and vigilance of CBN, we would have devalued naira again twice or more this year as the demand for USD to buy Bitcoin kept surging with the pressure on the naira to mop up the hard earned and dwindling USD inflows into the country.

Inflation is not a marker of poverty, don't mix things up. Iran is a major oil exporter and Morrocco is a more or less what you call a second world country. They are not poor.

Imagine this!
Meaning that the guys behind btc are mining people's wealth steady.

Personally, I think Nigeria has done well to ban btc. A country battling with cybercrime and embezzlement should stay far away from a cryptic system that makes it difficult to track the owners of wealth.




These jargons are the main reason why I dislike the stuff.

Many people doing bitcoin trading sef don't know how it works. They only follow the crowd.
You wey know how it works , how far your People na just mumu dey worry them

No matter how we want to paint it, there is need to regulate the inflow of money into our system, hence the reason for not approving the use of Bitcoin for exchange in the country. However, guys must decode other means but last last it would affect the biz badly

Iran is a major oil exporter and hooray! We suddenly should think them rich when everyone knows Economics101 that Inflation almost destroys Purchasing Power of the people and causes Iranians to never want to hold the Iranian Rial and you know what that means for the Iranian industries and Economy of the country.
