The best time for buying is at low price and I think if you sell your coins with profit then you should not regret after Fluctuations in coin price because you have already taken your profit so ready to make another step instead of regret about past.

If you are in doubt about other coin then just buy bitcoin now and don't sell until you achieved your target. This time is not suitable for selling but if someone is in huge profit and he cannot hold longer then selling should be preferred. Understand the market and accept your profit but I think if someone is selling their bitcoin without waiting more so he will miss the opportunity of having huge profit in Bull season.

There is nothing wrong with selling for short profit and to buy at the dip again and there is nothing wrong to hodl for long, it all depends on individual target goals. At any point, stay with your goal. The reason that some people regret on their investment is because of greed, they shift their goal post at the middle of the game. Bitcoin is a very volatile asset and when the bull comes with, it looks as if it will continue for a long time then you change your target plan to higher price but without recourse to correction on the price action that had already happened. After that correction, price may not get to your new target for a long time. So stay with the decision made earlier before investing, that's being discipline in investment.

Risk taking does not always get us new opportunities in business or even in life, doors won’t just open to you because you are a risk taker, your finances can drain away when you take nonessential risk. Risk has it’s good and dark sides, but when you take essential and correctly articulated risk even if you don’t get your target you will learn essential lessons from it.

We are hardworking people in Nigeria, but there is no job and we are too many. Go to tailor, barbing saloon, shoe making shops and others  that you mentioned to see that you will people that are leaning all these works.

How easy for a new president who is been elected to fight corruption in a nation where all the systems of government is been corrupted,  like in the force,  and judiciary,  even the politicians.

Having  the mind to stop corruption is not easy in a nation that corruption  is seen as nothing, making an attempt to do so some politicians will do everything to frustrate the agenda. Do you think a genuine president can easily end corruption of this level ?

I had a conversation with someone outside this forum and my choice of topic "Must everyone invest in Bitcoin" was his question, it's a nice question for someone that's willing to know about Bitcoin so I decided to bring it here to know the opinion of members of our Local board. 
 Well my own opinion and reply to him is that it's a matter of choice, Bitcoin investment is not forced on anyone, yes anyone can invest in it but must be willing and should have the necessary requirements to do so, moreover it's not the only investment option and there are lots of others like Real Estate, Gold, Stock, and even Commodities like agricultural, petroleum/natural gas, livestocks etc.
 However since Bitcoin is a modern form of investment, the best digital asset and has become a very reliable asset that can generate good profits for long-term it would be nice to seize the opportunity of investing in it as it's still very early compared to when the price would go higher in the future, hopefully.

Nigeria gained her independence on the 1st October 1960 with its first head as Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe. Nigeria has had several forms of legal tenders ranging from the precolonial use of cowries, beads and other means down to the colonial era of using the British West African pounds until 1958 when the Central bank of Nigeria was established and our currency took a new name as the Nigeria Pound, shilling and Penny until 1972. On the 1st of January 1973 the currency officially changed to Naira  as coined out by chief Obafemi Awolowo exchanging at #1=£0.5. From independence until late 70's the Naira has been more valuable than the Dollar until the coming of Gen Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida who was forced to accept the IMF terms in 1986 due to economic challenges leading to the continuous devaluation of the Nigerian Naira till date. This also introduced Bureau de change and naira started going down daily.

The continuous devaluation led to Nigerians seeking other form of safety for the value of their money overtime which led many into much investment into gold to safeguard their money.

In 2016 following launch of MMM a Ponzi scheme, during the brutal recession, Nigerians again were sensitised on the benefits of investing with Bitcoin in the scheme which offered up to 40% monthly gain on your investment instead of the usual 30% on Naira based investment and this became pivotal in Nigerians buying more bitcoin for this reason even though they were minimal buys earlier. Dollar was already above #200 and the economy was degrading massively.  Even though the scheme crashed with over 3 million Nigerians hard earned money, it infused many Nigerians into Bitcoin knowledge and continuous buys since they discovered how more reliable it was compared to Naira.  This down trend of Naira caught the attention of Satisense in 2020. His tweet below awakened more Nigerians to find an alternative safe haven for the value of their money.

Fast forward to 2025, Naira has bled while bitcoin has been up and going. Dollar now sells at above #1500 while bitcoin now sells at above $112k. The bitcoin awareness too is on the rise because everyone wants the best for his efforts over time. As of October 2024, over 33% of Nigerians were estimated to be investing in cryptocurrencies of which Bitcoin was top.

PS: Can we strengthen Naira or ignore it since we are not affected since our resources are now saved in Bitcoin?

Is not that something which is done only in African countries, so couples can be sure their children won't suffer from adnormalities on their red cells?
This is something which is pretty much unheard of in the American continent, I have never had my blood examined when I have a girlfriend and I have never even suggested any of my girlfriends to get tested to know their genotypes...

It must be kind of weird to live in a society where people pays such amount of attention to genetics of other people. Again, it is something which is not common here.

well it all depends on the religious background of the couples, if this decision conforms to the religious beliefs of the individuals involved then why not? But on the flip side it would be an opportunity for both spouses to express themselves Sexually thereby increasing the intimacy between both parties which is a great recipe that engenders a great relationship.

Everybody with there respective reasons of joining the forums, but I know bitcoin forum has make it easier for bitcoin lovers to meet together and share together their different views and ideas about bitcoin related issues,

But i know say all of us get our unique reasons of joining the forum, pls let the conversation flow, thank

I dislike when you guys see politics as a dirty game, its not please, I'm a political scientist just because there are dirty people playing the game in this part of the world doesn't make it a dirty game generally. Its a game of interest, to serve the best interest of the people when elected, and to solve a societal issues. if you understand  politics you will know its a service game not where you enter to enrich yourself, in fact in the western world people do not think about it, they see it a stress game for servicing people when you should use the time to build one-self, that is why people don't see  politicians as anything in an aspect of sing praises for them, just as we do in Africa. because they are mere workers.

In Nigeria, buccaneers, blood suckers and ritualists has join the game and  has make the  game of politics look like a dangerous one, because if you dare challenge them they will kill you. Technocrats has shifted attention from the game of politics , its now left for dangerous men in the country, and all they do is to enrich themselves with the resources given to them to better the society, they embezzled the funds and there is no consequence for it. That is the  only dirty i see in this part of the world.

If everybody go just get one mindset not to vote that day, since them already know who be the winner.
Make they just make their choice and people go just follow am, than to dey waste people time and energy yet, them no give wetin the people want.

So no reason to vote, corrupt don take over everything for this country and na only God go save person for this country, because politics no be wetin person go involve themselves put, e no dey bring good results at all.

Bitcoin is expected to grow cumulatively far more than the S&P 500 or gold, which only grow on average just enough to keep up with inflation. There are various growth projections ,Michael Saylor, for example, predicted a 21% cumulative annual growth rate over 21 years.Power law model, which is based on mathematics and physics, has projections and predicts a cumulative growth rate of 30–40%.That's why I place more trust in this model . it's grounded in mathematics and objective principles rather than speculation.
It's important to understand that a cumulative growth rate doesn't mean Bitcoin will go up every single year. Instead, it refers to the average compounded return over a longer period ,including years of sideways movement or bear markets.For example, gold reached an all-time high of $2,000 per ounce back in 2011, but then went through a multi-year bear market. By 2015, it had bottomed out near $1,000 per ounce. However, if you look at the cumulative return over a 20-year period, it averaged around 8% annually roughly in line with inflation.

If you want to preserve your money, beat inflation, and even earn additional returns, then saving in Bitcoin is a much better and harder asset compared to gold or the S&P 500.

Yes t is true, the financial burden on these parents are just do heartbreaking, I can imagine a situation whereby a parent has 4 children in the same school and two graduating, the two not graduating pays for the party and the two graduating pays even more for the graduating materials and gowns. Those schools would never allow the siblings in the same graduating class to purchase one item in a bid to lessen the burden on parents or even give parents with more wards a discount and it has been a problem right from when I was a small boy.

In the majority of all the cases of scams, there is always this too-good-to-be-true offer that gives it away as a scam. Victims of these scams are usually individuals who ignore the red flag of the offer sounding too good to be true and choose to try, probably believing that they hit a gold mine or they're lucky to come across such an opportunity.


If you are still attached to or moved by free money, that is, at the promise of free money, you lose your sense of reasoning; you are just GREEDY.

A lot of Nigerians are now looking for ways to protect their money from the falling naira. Two of the most common options are Bitcoin and USDT.

Bitcoin has the advantage of long-term growth, but it is very volatile. The price can rise in a week but also drop badly. USDT on the other hand is stable since it is tied to the dollar, but it doesn’t increase in value, it only protects against naira depreciation.

So the question is, for someone in Nigeria who just wants to save money safely, which is the better option: Bitcoin or USDT? Or should people combine both?

Would like to hear from others who are already using these methods to save.

Since the bull market started last quarters of last year, we have seen more increase and minor retracements(often gradual retracement) but the last seven days have been very challenging for the Bitcoin market. The same period should be the first time in a long time that we are seeing Bitcoin price drop by 24%, a figure I consider a retracement. In the last 24hrs, Bitcoin have dropped over 12% in price which is the highest drop in price experienced in24hrs since last quarters of last year. The picture below is the data gotten from Coinmarketcap.

To the average investors, this can be very troubling as many will be considering to sell to avoid further depletion of their asset. But is this the right thing to do? Do you plan to sell now to avoid further loss?

Many people in some of the groups I know are thinking about converting to USDT to convert back to BTC after the rainfall stops but I don't thing this is a wise decision. Personally I have resolved to continue buying this time. What do you think?

In general, the only sector that generates money in the kind of society we have today is the business sector. It's the only profit-making sector. So, yeah, you can't underestimate its role in the economy.

However, it's the government that makes sure this sector thrives. Investors and entrepreneurs can only survive and flourish if the government creates a healthy business environment. So, you can't also underestimate the role of the government.

In every successful society, it's always a healthy mutualism that propels it forward.
