I just join o and I never too understand but I don dey do one or two already and I no even know say this side dey wen we fit come do into and get more understanding abeg make una put we the newbie though o.
Them don talk this matter on several occasions say money dey only unmask person but e no dey change person. Every human get an inborn carracter but then no dey show am out except say something happens before you go know wetting dey are made off. So just like every body get gull blader wey dey make person Angry, naso e also be for corrupt mind. Wetting go help that kind mind na self control. Because if you no learn self control, na your emotion go rule you.
[/quote] e dey like say na you really understand watin I dey talk, now I no talk say if you give everybody money, power or Access to sex the person most corrupt I no talk so yes very true say e get people you will give all that and still them go still dey good, please understand me what I am saying is that person wen don already get the corruption inside am but dey pretend once him get any of this three thing na then you go know him really self. That was why I said ‘power only reveals the corruption in a person’
[/quote] e dey like say na you really understand watin I dey talk, now I no talk say if you give everybody money, power or Access to sex the person most corrupt I no talk so yes very true say e get people you will give all that and still them go still dey good, please understand me what I am saying is that person wen don already get the corruption inside am but dey pretend once him get any of this three thing na then you go know him really self. That was why I said ‘power only reveals the corruption in a person’
you just ended up contradicting yourself.
[/quote] it you read my words very well and understand am you go see say I no talk say na everybody those 3 things dey control I said if you want to know a person true self give them this things that’s to say they are people that can overcome them so you are just saying the same thing I just said in your own understanding.

People dey always dey talk say power corrupt, power corrupt, yes most of us don talk am before, we dey think say na power dey corrupt person but the truth be say most of us already get corruption inside of us we only need the opportunity (power) to bring out the corruption in us. A man once said if you really want to know the person true self give him 3 things: Money, Power and Access to Sex. With this 3 things you can know any one true nature. So no be power dey corrupt, power only reveals corruption.
You just decided to write everything that obviously came to your mind first without even asking yourself if there was any truth in it. It is true that you can pay for many hotels with Bitcoin, but you can also buy a plane ticket, a car or food in a restaurant. Thanks to payment processors, you can pay with Bitcoin almost anything you can think of - but the idea of Bulgaria as the country with the most Bitcoins has long been dispelled.
[/quote] yes what I said about it was a little bit of research I made on it I am still new in the world of crypto and I am still open to learning and all you have just said has open my knowledge more and I really appreciate. Please if you can still school me on it I will for ever be grateful.

Cryptocurrency is slowly taking over the world and some hotels are now accepting Bitcoin as means of payment and Bulgaria as a country owns the highest Bitcoin as a country.
Around 2018 a friend of mine bought some unit of Bitcoin equivalent to $1,000 and also advise me to do same but I refused and was skeptical about it because I was of the notion that "what is really moving is coin of a currency" fast-forward 4 years later my friends share or unit of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $10,000 and I was at thr losing end just to be left with the thought of had I know.
When Bitcoin first broke out there was a man Laszlo who exchanged $10,000 worth of Bitcoin for two Papa John's Pizza from Jeremy but fast-forward to today Jeremy can purchase a million pack of pizza worth $10000 and still have more BTC left for him .
Nevertheless me falling short of the first opportunity of buying Bitcoin I'm still hoping of an opportunity to present it self so I can get the little bit of Bitcoin to my custody and I also advise both my friends and enemies to buy as much cryptocurrency they can because cryptocurrency is the currency of the future.

MOVED: Navigating Nigeria's Economic. A Call to Personal Empowerment
Navigating Nigeria's Economic. A Call to Personal Empowerment
Nigeria, a nation with abundant natural resources and a large population, has faced economic challenges that have left many citizens grappling with poverty and unemployment. Understanding the current economic situation in Nigeria and exploring personal solutions becomes crucial in fostering individual resilience amidst these challenges.
The Nigerian economy, historically reliant on oil exports, has been vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. The volatility of this market has exposed the country to economic uncertainties, contributing to a cycle of inflation and unemployment. Additionally, issues such as corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory hurdles further compound the economic challenges faced by the nation.
In the face of these challenges, individuals can take proactive steps to mitigate the impact on their personal finances and contribute to the overall economic resilience of the country. One key personal solution is the pursuit of diversified income streams. Relying on a single source of income, especially in a volatile economic environment, can be risky. Individuals can explore opportunities for entrepreneurship, freelancing, or investment in sectors beyond oil.
Entrepreneurship presents a viable avenue for individuals to create their own employment opportunities. Initiatives such as skills acquisition programs, supported by the government and non-governmental organizations, can equip citizens with the tools needed to start and sustain their businesses. Additionally, embracing technological advancements can open doors to online businesses, providing a platform for economic participation and growth.
Furthermore, investing wisely can contribute to personal financial stability and, on a larger scale, enhance the overall economic landscape. While investing may seem daunting, seeking financial literacy and consulting with experts can empower individuals to make informed decisions. Investments in sectors such as bitcoin,agriculture, technology, and renewable energy can play a role in diversifying the economy and fostering sustainable growth.
In conclusion, Nigeria's economic challenges require a collective effort for sustainable change. While macro-level reforms are necessary, individuals can contribute significantly by adopting a proactive approach to their personal finances. Diversifying income streams, embracing entrepreneurship, and making informed investments are tangible steps toward personal empowerment and resilience in the face of economic uncertainties. By taking charge of their economic destinies, individuals can play a crucial role in shaping a more robust and prosperous future for Nigeria.
