Not only crypto oh, but the opportunities which the internet brings has helped a whole lot of people living in poverty to make a good decent amount of money even in the absence of white collar job in this 21st century, which was never the same in the previous centuries. However, with the help of these 4 basic skills now, you could see an average Nigerian youth of age 18 to 30yrs living a better life that was mostly experienced by retired civil servants of age 50 to 60yrs after several years of hard work and investing, but crypto came and for those who could understand how the volatile nature of the market work were able to create such wealth in a year or two, which is the beauty ever experienced with the innovation of the internet.
For every action, there must be a equal or opposite reaction. That's the exact case crypto is facing in Nigeria. Majority of our youths who claim to be crypto traders are nothing but into internet fraud while hide and disguise under crypto. Crypto has really helped a reasonable number of people out of poverty in this 21st century and as well as sent some to early grave due to carelessness in protecting their wallet.
Mind you, crypto should not be compared with white collar job. Being in crypto make you the boss of your own wealth and decides by yourself while you face the risk involved alone but civil servants are entitled to pension and gratuities after retirement despite the fact that their appointment can be terminated anytime their employer wishes.
For OP, just like everyone is saying, with or without crypto people will survive the hurdles. It's just a privilege and we should grab it while it lasts.
