My brother, this would have been possible if we were more than 1 person. Those guys won't give you an opportunity to spoil the show they spent money to organize, rent event center and the rest. dem fit even go physical with you since you are alone. so e for better say na like group of 3 people go the thing.

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:

• 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?

Make we yarn abeg. No allow all these hype people dey run street with half-baked knowledge.
Na we go raise the standard from Nigeria.
Drop your experience below:
Even if dem don scam you small that time, just share am make we laugh together and learn from experience.

this depends on the individual priorities and what they do with their crypto on a daily.
a day trader can leave their crypto on the exchange since they trade daily.
but the case of your friend is different from that of a day trader, so he should hold his bitcoin in his personal wallet.
I advice people about not-your-keys, not-your-coin and yet i have held a particular coin on binance for over 5 years. the coin is still there, and binance is still there. not everyone practices what is preached online but the most important thing is willingness to accept the consequences of your action.

Bitcointalk username: MarryWithBTC
Post Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5534873.msg65155466#msg65155466
Reason for merit: It is a rare gesture or idea to marry with bitcoin.

I have read a lot of suggestions. It seems there is no one way method to do this.

The teach there is for a family member. What business do I have teaching a lawyer about bitcoin?
I don't mean a lawyer to manage my portfolio.

If you are a single bitcoin investor, would you rather teach a trusted family member about Bitcoin than involve your personal lawyer. I ask this because I grew to understand that lawyers are good at handling confidential issues like Wills.

Na true wey you talk. People wey go carrry money dem wan used do project, or pay house rent or pay school fees go put for bitcoin, dem go always panic when the market dip. So if people invest wetin dem fit lose or money wey dem no dey in dare need of, dem no go too panic when the market red.

if i gift my inlaws bitcoin after the marriage, how will the history be made. I am surprised why this idea sound so strange to people and it appears to them unachievable. If i send bitcoin to my inlaws, there is no law stopping them from converting it to fiat. To me, this is not a problem at all.

Thank you for sharing this great movie. i am johny lingo. what johny lingo did is what i am planning to do and the memory could last for an entire life or even eternity.
while many people, including mahana's father thought mahana was worth nothing or just one cow as every other girl. mahana's father decided to try his luck and proposed 3 cows, johny lingo surprised the entire village by offering 8 cows. in johny lingo's statement thanks once again for sharing and i gave you a merit for this.

s
there is a big difference between;
1. hearing about bitcoin
2. getting into bitcoin
3. owning bitcoin
one may hear about bitcoin in conversation, news or media but doesn't pick any interest. there are also people who has heard, picked interest but are very skeptical to buy. i heard about bitcoin a long time ago but it has not been long i own  bitcoin. i knew about bitcoin before knowing the forum.

the 1000 bitcoins is definitely going to the US strategic reserve

it is true that it's not everything that should be shared. i have also read through the conversation and i have gotten some clear pictures on how things should be done.

even for security consciousness, couples could be encouraged to have 2/2 multi signature wallet. when hacker or a scammer knocks, both of them has to be convinced before the transaction will be signed. this will make it even more difficult for them to be scammed.

The intention is to keep the beneficiary unaware for security purposes.

Thank you brother. I no go need to call media people. Na for my own video man to capture the thing, I go post am online and bloggers carry am, e don be be that. As for your gift idea. Know say any idea wey relate to bitcoin, everybody no go just accept am because e no be usual thing wey dey happen. Even for this thread, some people say I dey on colos to think this kind ting.

Than you brother. How i go take run am no be problem. I no need teach my inlaw, na my wife to be i go teach and everything don settle.

Thank you very much philipma1957, you have been coming with a realistic solution since you joined this conversation. It seems you are talking from the stance of experience and practice.

There is a concern that a user named Issa56 raised above. He said if couples own separate wallets and yet keep the seed phrases in the same house, it is still not safe. In the case of natural disaster, both could be lost. What do you advice on this.

I am hodling BTC, I will marry this year. I have studied two different bitcoin inheritance model (The Time-locked bitcoin transaction and The Dead Man’s Switch). I align more with the time-lock transaction which happens solely on the chain, but the defect I perceive is that if I set it for a long time, I could forget and still alive and the transaction will trigger.
In the other hand, the dead man’s switch could mess things up from the third-party side or if I lose access to the email, although it is more flexible because I can cancel it before execution date.
Is there a model or a solution that can treat my fears by giving me a fair balance?

Humans have the attribute of refusing changes. They like to stick with what has been working for them whether good or bad. That is why you will get to hear an adage like "The satan you know is better than the Angel you don't know. We hate changes especially if we are not the masterminders or part of the initiators of the change. Instead we like to rely on the staus quo.

Bitcoin does not require that everyone should learn the technical aspect of it. If you are able to send and receive bitcoin, this is enough. Indeed the bitcoin technology appears vague and complex to people. They keep imagining how you will own money without seeing the  money. This is not supposed to be a big concern because of digital banking. It is more than 7days i have not seen my country currency but i buy stuffs and pay using bank app. This can be likened to bitcoin.

Ok, i appreciate your input. US is indeed a great nation.

Why will you be comfortable to leave your bitcointalk account to you wife if you pass on. Will your wife be able to maintain your personality or have the same level of bitcoin knowledge as you in order to keep up your account?

If bitcointalk account is declared as an asset in US, does it mean that you pay tax on your bitcointalk signature campaign earnings?

Actually, in my country, bitcoin is not legally recognized. I wanted to know how it is done in the countries where the use of bitcoin is legal, from there I can deduce how to approach it in my country. It seems that in the next 4 years, many countries will be accepting bitcoin as a means of payment. US has set the baton rolling.
