There are some of us that were introduced into this forum by either a friend, a relative or a family friend and after introducing us to this platform we were left at our own fate without any advice or guidelines on how to navigate through the forum but yet we stood determined to succeed and we starting learning by ourselves, getting helps and information from people in this forum, Google, and YouTube and as time goes on we became accustomed to how almost everything is working now and it looked as if we never had a difficult beginning.

 I urge and encourage everyone that feel left alone or abandoned when they were introduced to this platform and I tell you that no knowledge is easier to acquire than the knowledge you sort for yourself rather than relying on others to be your road map. Every little beginning has a greater ending as all you need is to be focused and sort to learn more and say less as those are the channel to arriving your destination.

Getting rich or been wealthy is never a day job as we may say it, it is always like a journey of a thousand miles which always begins with a step, there are certain strategies u need to consider self discipline is one of it commiting your self also on a longtime investment (goal).
Also been a salary earner won't make you get richer if you are not investing on it, it is always about what you do with the income you have, there is this saying that says no risk no reward people that gets rich in life are also risk takers.
The rich also invest on a long time asset that will be profitable to them in time coming while other people save their money stuck in the bank without any profit the are busy making their money grow for them on what they have invest into, it can be real estate and other profitable businesses.

Since the inception of oil and gas operations in Nigeria there has been series of crisis across the oil and gas producing regions as a result of greed and selfish interest from different socio-cultural and political group over who control the resources. Many lives and properties have been destroyed because little money inconcated in the memorandum of understanding between the oil companies and the host communities across Niger delta of Nigeria. If the Niger delta communities can kill themselves because of little money in the memorandum of understanding between the host communities and the oil and gas companies I'm afraid of what will happen when 3% of oil revenue will allocated to the oil and gas producing communities.
If care is not taken among the host communities there will be a serious problem that will be severe among the Niger delta oil and gas producing communities

Hunger is the major challenge Nigerian is facing now and this has affected both the rich and the poor as price of food is increasing on daily basis. Although the rich are a little bit leverage to this situation than the poor because irrespective of the metamorphism of the increment of the of price of food across the country they will still have some money to afford food stocks but the poor are left with no choice than the mercy of hunger and suffering. It's funny to see a country that is well known for agriculture as means of export going through this level of hardship and hunger.

In all countries around the world there currencies are all printed in paper which is called note though there maybe countries who still use coins till now. All around the world money can be misplaced maybe from your pocket, your hand or maybe your wallet may even get lost but still some people don't feel it when their money get lost because it's not that very high in exchange like in Nigeria where we have our highest currency which happens to be 1k and many other currencies like #500, #200, #100 and others most times we misplace this money and others pick it up with joy of having what you didn't work for but in this recent economy everybody has refused to lose money as usual ( laugh ).

What if the Bitcoin was in notes and with the same value as it has now, do you think anyone would misplace it or even walk with it on the street. Eventually you see a Bitcoin note will you return it to the owner. Let's be sincere and also see it as fun.

Before i could say anything, maybe you should first hear out what the Coinbase Boss have to say

I don't know what others are perceiving already about the recent clampdown of the Nigerian government on the use of Binance Exchange as they resulted to the cause of rise ion the USD value is due to the eminent presence of the global centralized exchange called Binance.

Coinbase has made a release on the recent challenges they experience on their platform as a result of over traffic, which means they are receiving a lot of users clogging up their network of recent, could this be that the ban on the use of p2p in Nigeria erupted the decision to many of them in deciding to make use of Coinbase for their trading or something else happened behind the sudden network congestion received by Coinbase.

How much do you trust mobile network these days?

Since the beginning of these month and late last month the network issue has been unbelievable imagine when some one would have data but can't get access to the internet because of poor network. Yesterday was the worst I had an update I wanted to drop online before going to church but the network that morning was very bad even the recharge card I bought to make a call I couldn't load it, it was as if I was restricted from making phone calls or coming online at some point I taught it was my phone that was disturbing or even my SIM card but later observed from my neighbor that it was not only me.

If this network issues continues like this Omo it will be very bad oo. Nothing can be trusted now an emergency can occur but you can't trust your mobile network to deliver you then why the phone in our hands na wah oo.

Sincerely the concept of savings has made some persons poor,but many won't realize the fact that saving don't make the difference but investing does.
 Am not saying saving isn't good, but my point is saving doesn't make one wealthy, the worst advice we recieve is  'save for tomorrow' but only few lay emphasis on the need to 'invest for tomorrow'.
So I would greatly say we invest some of our profits from bitcoin in to other stuff, than just holding it or using it for pleasure. The rare truth is how we believe bitcoin can change the game, so other systems are developing so we shouldn't be blindfolded.
Invest because savings doesn't increase or builds, investing is what gives you the life you want.
   Let discuss this guys..
  No matter how many bitcoin you hold you can still misuse the money, so we should understand the concept of Richness and Wealth.
 

I have long anticipated this particular event between the Nigeria government and binance to take place in the future which is happening now. I remember in my previous comments on a topic created here and the other platform where I said that the government would soon begin clamp down on binance just to get the list of Nigerians registered on their platform since their inception and here it is taking shape. I believe all these fight like I Initially said is just to get at binance to pay tax of all the transaction charges they've been benefitting from Nigeria p2p trade deals.

I believe this is amongst the reasons why the clamp down is taking a different tone altogether and this was the response from the CBN governor when asked about the binance clampdown;
 “In the last four years, more than $26 billion have been funnelled through Binance without trace.”

I would not be surprised that some powers that be themselves are into the Crypto currency trade and are just hiding behind playing innocent but doing the unthinkable just to protect or cover up their dirty act with the funds under their custody.

In all, the major reasons behind this scuffle is just taxation. The Nigeria government just wants binance to pay tax of all transactions  they have conducted on the Nigeria binance p2p platform which they want to benefit from  that's all. That is a huge amount of money which they know themselves could benefit from through channeling it to other means in the name of projects and other engagements.

My concern now is this, would the federal government charge binance to pay for tax in arrears right from their inception and also charge Nigerians registered with binance to pay tax in same fate as they have begin to put pressure on binance to give them list and details of Nigerians registered with them right from their inception.

Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed.

Well it's no news that the federal government are out to really put regulations on how cryptocurrency dealings should be operated in Nigeria and one of their main target has being binance exchange and just today we saw that binance has disabled their P2P method of trading coins for Nigerian users.

Now I see this link about binance exchange top official being detained.

https[Suspicious link removed]cutives-in-cryptocurrency-crackdown/amp/

I just dey wonder where this madness go stop with Federal government and their quest to actually track down transaction that is better left untracked and to what extent and how many exchange will they target too because I believe if dem continue this then to trade coins for naija go hard well well only of we all no migrate to using decentralized exchange to trade our coins .

Within 24 hours,  dollar crashes massively against naira on # BINANCE.
The United States dollar crashed against the naira at the cryptocurrency peer- to - peer market platform binance. As of 8 am on Wednesday, the dollar trended for as high as #1,415 /$1 from as low as # 1606/$1 within 24 hours. At the time of writing this story the exchange rate was trading at #1458/$1.https://www.thegeniusmedia.com.ng/2024/02/28/breaking-within-24-hours-dollar-crashes-massively-against-naira-on-binance-details

It is a very nice one right but at first what should be considered is, this naira currency was lower than this before it came up to this amount now and since then we have been witnessing the up and down are you really happy about this or this is just a scam or do you think it will be better than this. Let's all watch and see what happens but some people are not happy about it right cause if you earn in dollar now your exchange will be low by now and if you earn high in dollar you still have to buy costly in naira so how do you view this. You wish to earn in dollar or you want the price of goods to come down in Nigeria.

Many of us thinks the rise of inflation and the weakness of the naira currency is because of the new government we have in the country.  Before now a state governor was complaining about how the past government was printing of money, and many people thought it was just propaganda which they took it very lightly.  The hardships and the high inflation rate we are seeing today is as a result of printing money that has been taking place longtime ago.

The cause of the inflation is nothing but as a result of printing money that is naira is losing value constantly everyday. The economy has never been bad like this, we are facing the consequences of wrong economy doings.

Good morning my fellow Naija people in the local board, I brought this topic to encourage our Naija local board bitcoiners not to spend all their profits they made from this bull run because, I know that many people have started selling their BTC to increase their wealth. I know that many people will start using the profits they made from this bull run to do other things and forget to save money to buy BTC when the bear market occur again, and it will be a good thing, if you can spend and still remain some money to invest in BTC when the bear market come. I know that is not easy to save money in this high inflation, but spend and save some money that you will invest in BTC in the future no matter the situation you are facing right now.

I know there are some people that depend on their signature campaign only, which is not a good idea because, anything can happen that will make you not to get the opportunity to work in the signature campaign but if you invest some money on BTC, I believe you will have hope of winning something big from BTC when the bull run occur.  What is your opinion.

Is very funny how we complain about so many things going wrong in our economy but at end everyone we tend to grow a thicker skin and adapt to the system and it will be seen like nothing happened within a Short time, now my question is, should we keep adapting and growing a thicker skin? or we should be expecting war, because i don't really understand where our government is taking us to, alot is really happening. What is your opinion on this?

Utilize your body for retirement so that you can fit in to handle your other phases in life of chasing income at your depreciations of man-power to activeness.
So many people are too eager uncontrollably chasing after income without undermining their ages and so as considering the health fitness of themselves at ages.

Yesterday night, I was chatting with my female friend, but her response was slow, I switched over to call, and I noticed that her environment was noisy, she promise to return the call and hanged up. I went back on chat to inquire why she was at a noisy environment by 8:30pm, thinking she was out enjoying herself.
To my greatest surprise, she was at the place she sells fishes in the evenings after work. This lady in question is a shoe designer and has her own shop. Earlier this year, she launched her industrial cleaning business and just yesterday, she confirmed to me that she now has people working under her. I further inquire about the source of the fishes, she  plainly told me that she purchase them at the fish camp and resell them at a higher price in the evenings.

This struck me deep at how much the lady is taking advantage of the situation of the country to expand her finances when  most people I see everyday on the streets just sit and complain about the bad condition of the country and still do nothing about it to better their life. She bursted my bubbles by mentioning that food is a necessity, and no matter how bad the country is, people will always find a way to feed at least.

I couldn't help but meditate all night on this little discussion I has yesterday, now the question is:
Have you thought about this before?
What plans have you to take advantage of the situation of the country to your own benefit?
Would you quit complaining and take proper action?
How much have you taken advantage of the bull run coming to  stack up bitcoin for yourself?
Is it possible?, Yes it is.

The story I shared with you challenged me personally that I've not done enough to take advantage of the situation. I hope it challenges you too to get out of your shell, take the bull by the horn, and most importantly, take charge of your financial expansion.
It is possible, you only need to employ an entrepreneur's mindset, an open and optimistic mind, and a strong desire to achieve your aim, it will interest you that the bitcoin we enjoy today is a testimony of taking advantage of a situation of government exploits to creating a decentralized monetary system. One thing I've learned  is that when things gets really bad, it opens up numerous opportunities to make it big if only you can spot them and take action.

I've fixed a time for further discussion with the lady and a possible investment from me if its scalable by next tomorrow at a bar as I promised to buy her a drink for impressing me with her exploits.
