So last weekend, i got invited to one “Crypto and Bitcoin Masterclass Meetup” that happened around my area. The flyer was really attractive; they wrote things like:
1. Unlock the secrets of Bitcoin
2. Meet expert blockchain professionals
3. Free networking and lunch
As person wey like Bitcoin genuinely, i no wan dull. i even iron my cloth and showed up early because i talk say: No how no how, i go learn one or two Bitcoin strategy wey fit change my financial life. But as we reach there, dem start late (as usual). Then, they called the so-called resource persons to come stage. The first speaker showed up this way:
Bitcoin is a… is a kind of digital something… that you can use to invest and cash out massively
At that point, my heart just begin cut small small. That was the beginning of my disappointment.
the second speaker come up and started explaining how to buy their own coin wey “go x100 before December”.
from there, the whole thing just turn to full-blown hype session:
“staking,” “airdrop farming,” “pre-sale whitelist,” and “double your USDT in 7 days.”
dem just dey jam all the crypto buzzwords anyhow.
Nobody mention Satoshi.
Nobody explain how Bitcoin really works.
No single word on wallet security or P2P risks especially for Nigerians.
Na just pure shitcoin promotion and fast-money talk full ground.
At that point, i just sit down dey look like - So na for this thing i wear fine cloth and was
Honestly, if na me organize that kind meetup, i for do way better.
i go break Bitcoin down like biscuit.
i for explain wallet safety, market psychology, and even show people how to use non-custodial wallets. But these ones, cruise and empty noise everywhere.
So i want to ask:
Na we go raise the standard from Nigeria.

So i want to ask:
- Have you ever attended a Bitcoin or crypto meetup in Nigeria
- Did they teach anything useful, or was it just hype and fake project promo?
- if you were to organize a meetup in your area, what would you do differently?
Na we go raise the standard from Nigeria.
