This looks quite interesting! You gave him a lot of reading though, were there reasons you chose those books over the whitepaper (that'd be my concern but they're probably good at quickly reading documents anyway)?

Thank jackg, I am very grateful. The handout I uploaded was just my teaching guide and I didn't give it to him. Skipping the Whitepaper was a personal blunder. I forgot the most important book about Bitcoin. I accept my fault and I promise to send him a copy.

Did you keep communication channels open or does it not work like that there? If you did there were lots of promising reports you might be able to dive into and see if they're worth sending - on the scale crypto is used for illegal activities but some of those quotes do cover it very well.

It was an interactive section and not a teacher-centered style of teaching. He was the one that itemized some of the assumed pitfalls of Bitcoin. It was like a small group instruction class and I am expecting a positive response from honorable and our bill proposal drawing committee would resume and do a good job.

Kudos to all of you and your works thats the spirit of a true Bitcoin believer, just continue fighting for what you believe is right. Anyway, I think your country's Central Bank officials, mindset is moving backward. Based on their arguments I can say that they just focus on the negative side and didn't consider the whole picture, luckily my country's Central Bank officials are innovators and not backward-thinking people.

Thank you. We would continue to do our best to promote what is good for our community and country. You are lucky to have such positive minded CBN official, ours blame Bitcoin for everything.

- From my understanding of your topic, do you know an official in your government in congress, who sent a letter of proposal to a congressman? is that right? that the content of your proposal is regarding the subject concept of Bitcoin? And the good thing about what you did was that an official or politician showed interest in the proposal you sent.

Mr. Magkaisa I like your comments. That was exactly what happened. He picked an interest in Bitcoin after he saw my letter and invited me to have a hat about Bitcoin with him.

I hope you will be successful in your pursuit, and I think you will have many connections there because just having contact with a politician will not be easy to get if you are an ordinary person in the country you are in now.

I don't need to have any connection in government for me to have access to my representative in the national assembly. They represent us, hence they need to always listen to us. You can reach them, you would never know until you try.

That's a good step you've taken and we'll wait for the chapter you started about that bitcoin proposal dude, God bless. Wink

Thank you and I would furnish the forum with news of the latest key development.

You didn't speak to them all, so you can't assume that "most of them in the legislature" know nothing about bitcoin. I think that apart from the set of them that just accepted the bias information passed on to them by the central bank chief, they actually know the benefits that this new technology holds but because of selfish interest and being that it directly poses a threat to their centralized system, they choose to ignore it and focus on these alone;

Thank you Rruch. All your comments are valid.

You are taking the bull by the horn. Truth be told I always love small actions like this because they have the potential to yield massive results in the long run. What are your plans for using this connection you have or better still working with this representative of your constituency to engage other members of the parliament?

Thank you for responding Davidvictorson. We are expecting a positive development from this meeting. My intentions are clear. I want to make this member of the house of Representatives like or love bitcoin. Until he appreciates bitcoin, he might not openheartedly promote it. Proposing a bill for the review of crypto restrictions on commercial banks in Nigeria would be easy if he likes bitcoin.

Do you plan to engage with other like-minded influential individuals, civil societies to organize a townhall meeting in respect to this?

The first stage is to produce a document that would giude the bill. Yes we would like to engage individuals, NGOs professional bodies in any form just to ensure we promote bitcoin.
