Well it's about a pastor who comes to me and some friends of mine to know little about trading, which my friends and I tried our best to give him the knowledge he can to start trading.      But funny enough he's also interested in sports betting too...
Na d mistake wey a lot of people hearing about Bitcoin and trading for d first time dey make be dat. Dem dey think sey na also sport betting and d reason na because na online thing. I faced dis same thing wit friends wen I started. Now, they know d difference to some extent.[q.
So disheartening to see say it still gets some religious organizations wey dey demonize crypto trading in this modern era of pervasive enlightenment. More worse na when the members chose not to self study and do research on their own, just as the holy book (Bible) talk am saying "search the scriptures".  Many of them wey the talk say nah because say na online things but the still use internet for their religious programmes, no be mediocre be that?

But the thing is, is it really acceptable for a man of God as they do call themselves to indulge in things like this?
Trading cryptos na d same thing as doing any other kind of genuine business. If nor be laziness, every clergyman supposed dey work or do business to earn their own money and not to dey depend on their members and guy dem for money with unnecessary lies around tithe and offering.
[/quote]On a serious note, nah even Forex or crypto trading go well for these clerics as them no get the time to the go for daily  office work, them go just sit at home at their convenience and do their trading. Which invariably will help them not to depend solely on church purse (offerings and tithe, seed sowing) for survival. But then, them go need give in to learning and embedding themselves in the skills and craft of trading.
