So my question is this, can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners? And even if we do how can they be convinced that we're doing genuine work online since the society sees most people earning from online as fraudsters (Yahoo boys).

I think you are getting it all wrong from the beginning as regards the term used. Judging by what you narrated, you are referring to Bitcointaker and not Bitcoiner. Bitcoiners are those who are engaging in Bitcoin, and even if you are engaging in Bitcoin but still silent about it in this context, but instead refer to the forum itself as your source of income, then you are a Bitcointaker in my opinion.

Regardless, let anyone think whatever they want to think about you, so far you are earning through legitimate means, continue to do you and let your conscience do the rest. I expect anyone earning here (even if that's their only source of income) to be proud of it as they are Markerters. The last time I checked, marketing job is a very good job no matter how little you earn from it.

Anyone who is not satisfied with it should find you a better job or keep shut. Case closed!

In other words are trying to say that those who engage in Bitcoin activities doesn't get benefits attached to it like earning? Be it in the forum or not, anyone who engages in anything concerning Bitcoin are earning from it even if you are a hodler because a day shall come when you will want to sell part of the proceeds gotten from your Bitcoin investment so I don't think the term 'bitcoiners' I used is wrong

Not at all, I only replied to your post based on the content. I differentiated between Bitcoiners (those who earn through Bitcoin) and Bitcointalkers (those who participate in Bitcointalk and eventually earn from it). It's clear, you never mentioned Bitcoin earnings in your post but the forum earnings.

Now saying that what any marketing business that one is doing they should be proud of broadcasting it to others without fear of what people would say, what of in this current situation that the government is frowning at anyone involved in crypto activities even to the extent of instructing FINTECH banking system not to allow their customers to perform crypto transactions in their platforms? Can you still confidently announce that you are into Bitcoin or cryptocurrency?

Yes of course! I deal with cryptocurrency and I am so proud of it. There are still cryptocurrency establishments and businesses in the country, what has the government done to them? Let them anger people more than this so that people will start protesting and suing them. What is happening in the country is the case of a confused government giving polices and instructions that are conflicting, those guys are just dullards chasing shadows.

You know what, the Nigerian government and even the CBN have never banned or even restricted cryptocurrency activities directly (you can earn, hold, trade, stake etc. your crypto), but they are forcing banks (which will never sincerely comply since they have their loopholes) not to have anything doing with digital assets (be it USD, crypto and whatever is virtually exchanged for the NGN). They are desperately doing this to try to stabilise the Naira, but forgetting that that was never the cause of the woe of the national currency but poor policies, bad economic management and lack of FX inflow.

Since I do not steal, heck yeah, I will tell it even to the face of President Tinubu that I earn through crypto if he wants to know. We'll meet in court if they harass me. The government are only giving instructions to scare people, no law whatsoever is backing them if that is what you want to know.
