According to the article this man has been collecting and selling used cans for the past 2 years and uses the proceeds to buy Bitcoin and now he is near having one Bitcoin.
I am bringing this here to encourage those who are in their little way doing what they can to accumulate Bitcoin, this story proves that it is not more about what you do but how consistent you are in buying Bitcoin.
A used can picker is not the most tech savvy man in the world so not being tech savvy is now not an excuse your present work can be your means to start no matter how small the result will show up over time.
Key factors that he may have used
1. He started from where he is at
2. Obviously paid attention to securing his bitcoin
3. Took advantage of time and bitcoin pumps along the way worked for him
4. Consistency and was in alignment with his mission
5. Obviously disciplined, no excuses, no greed.
Not that people can't,but the fear of losing their money is what they are concerned, you know Nigerians have being involved in series of online ponzi scams lately like the MMM, Baraza and others which has robbed alot of people of the source of income most persons where not wise enough and careful at the way they invested which affect their livelihood, most used all their life savings, some went as far as borrowing money from the bank and other loan centers which really affected them, a lot of them are still paying dearly with their life's which has made them become poor, while some are paying debts of money they didn't spend, and some are yet to come out of that shock, therefore it is not easy for them to just forget it and start easily.
Nigerians are know to be good investors and business people which I know that with time the ones that are still scared of investing in bitcoin will come to realize that bitcoin is not one of those Ponzi's that scams but the through currency that gives freedom, wealth security, financial autonomy and others.
In our country selling cans they way this guy deed is not that profitable, the people buying the cans from you don't encourage people to do that business, because the amount they use in buying it from you is more or less nothing, how are you going to continue selling it until you can get a reasonable amount of money to buy bitcoin, imagine selling off your 5kg gas cylinder to them for #100 or #200 because it's old and outdated, how many will you get to buy BTC, I don't know if the buyers in Nigeria are deliberately buying it at that amount in other to discourage people from going into the business.
The amount of cans here will be bought for less than #200 because it will be compressed before telling you the price .
