Hello bitcoin talkers.
We have talked about a lot of topics here , ranginging from P2P Scams, trading and crypto regulations... But what really are we aiming for .... What are we building towards?..
What is your biggest hope for the Nigerian crypto scene in the next 5 years....
Let's look ahead and take a glimpse into the future ... I'm not just talking about the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency... I'm talking about real life impact on our offline communities and our country...
Here are some things I really want us to achieve in the coming years ...
1. The rise of Nigerian Blockchain developers... I would really love to see that Nigeria becomes a hub for Blockchain innovation..where it isn't just about traders and users but also developers...
OP I believe that we already have a Blockchain Innovation Hub located in various part of the country, I know of one at Ibadan (Oyo State) which offers incubation and mentorship programs....... At least this is a sign that progress is being made concerning Blockchain adoption in Nigeria. But I believe that if we truly want to achieve more and catch up with other countries, there are still a lot of things we need to improve. First is awareness, many people still see blockchain as only about crypto trading, without realizing that there is more to it.... . We also need better infrastructure, because without steady electricity, reduced prices of fuel and more importantly reliable internet connection in remote areas of the country, even the best innovation hubs will be seriously limited .......
And lastly we also need government support and proper funding coz many young developers have brilliant ideas but most times are limited due the high cost of this mentorship program and then lack of access to investors that can push them forward. I swear this last point way you give eh, this one blow my mind, we really need government support to push the ministry going because without their support e go choke, imagine in country were literally every thing is very expensive, common person way get the talent fit silent with his talent because e no get person, poor person hardly developed em dreams and talents due to inadequate sponsor and support from the Upper hands, their are countless numbers of talented Nigerians that are very good in tech and if they given opportunity to explore their gift they will do exploit.
In essence, many nigerian youth are very hard working, very good mainly in tech but all they want is an helping hands to punch them further, and am urging our government, people in power and position to look into this matter and see if our great country Nigeria wouldn't attain greater height in the nearest future.
