Bitcoin Forum

Since most youths have seen that social media skit makers are cashing out big and living expensive lifestyles, we've noticed a majority of youths creating content up and down some of which are too irrelevant and contribute nothing to the viewers. They just want to get paid and since they want to get the required views and followers before their account is monetized, they are willing to go to any extent just to look for views including showing nudity and spreading false and unverified news just to attract their audience. In the end, some of them luckily get their accounts monetized and earn from it pulling up more crowds into the sector as though it's the only source of wealth in the digital space.

For us at this end, we know that ours isn't as loud as that of content creators and most of us normally enjoy doing things on the low key to avoid too much attention from our financial agencies since it appears as though they have a thing against us. For the traders, we know the risk involved and that it could get too good at some point or get bad at some other time, and then for the long-term investor, we know that our return doesn't come within a short space of time compared to most verified content creators that are currently earning from their page.

Which is more profitable? Content creators or crypto traders/investors.

I will go for content creation. Because anyone can invest in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies of choice so far you have money. If you are a good content creator, you will have money that you can invest in cryptocurrencies. Even if you lose some of the money, your content creation is a job that you can use to earn more money.

For me, I will also go for content creation, because unlike crypto trading which requires money to make more money, when it comes to Content creation, a user can earn money while just ordinarily providing value to its viewers, and it runs on autopilot, which means you keep making money even while sleeping. So it's actually a lucrative skill, which can both be done by showing your face and also by running it as a faceless Facebook page or YouTube channel. And as a crypto enthusiast, you can still be a crypto trader and also a content creator who teaches people about trading either Bitcoin or all other altcoins.

Crypto investment dey profitable pass content creating but the reason why most youths dey go into content creating na to get the fame and to earn from those monetized social media platforms.Crypto investment [Bitcoin] no be for short term and crypto trading no be something wey dey certain say u go dey cashout 24/7 but content creators dey cashout from their verified social media accounts maybe weekly or monthly if I'm not mistaking so dat one no go fit stop any content creator not to invest in crypto,the crypto market dey accessible by anyone wey wan invest.Crypto trading/investing and content creating na online means of earning,even most Nigeria content creators dey invest on crypto if dem no tell you how you wan take know,so na so e be for Naija oh anyhow is a how.

Most of us would choose content creation because it will give us recurring income and at the same time won't be as stressful as trading because in content creation you don't risk your money hence people would prefer but if we sit back and look at the returns which we would have got with minimal investment and cashing out at the right time in crypto people would go for crypto instead of content creation but most of us don't have patience which is the key hence people fail in crypto.

To invest/buy bitcoin, you need to have money; some people dey lucky to dey work for crypto projects or promote/advertise them, for example, through signature campaigns, but if you no dey into that, you have to buy bitcoin with your money, and you need to be working or earning money in real life to be able to channel the funds into buying bitcoin.

Crypto no be job, even if you wanna engage in crypto trading, you still need money to be able to buy the coins, crypto usually dey profitable for people wey get the money to buy a lot of it or people wey be early investors. So if content creating makes sense and you believe say e fit give you money, then do it, you go fit use the money buy bitcoins and still look for crypto jobs to do online.

Content creation is more profitable than crypto trading or investing because once you build up the required audience that will give you traffic on your creations anytime you post them on your social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, you will start earning money instantly. There are a lot of Nigerian youths who are making good money from content creation, such as people like Sabinus. Content creators also make money by advertising a product through their social media accounts; you will need to pay them a lot of money for content creators to promote your product for you. Content creators also make money from their shows, which gives them extra money.

Actually no one is easy, you can see we have successful crypto investors and also successful content creators. If you check very well not all content creators are successful same way it applies in the crypto industry. Let's not just use within the Nigerian context and conclude that content creators are making it more than crypto investors. Everything requires following the right principles and when you do success is inevitable. Let me take CZ for example who took crypto currency business serious he succeeded. The only reason why we are feeling that content creators are making it more is because they are always flaunting their wealth. Unlike successful crypto traders and investors they don't flaunt their wealth, so people will conclude that content creators are wealthier because of what they are seeing.

Firstly, you cannot always judge profit from the outside.

Secondly, the profit a content creator will make will depend on the level they have gotten to in content creation and the number of fans that they have, likewise the profit made by crypto trader/investor will depend on the level of knowledge/information that they possess.

There are opportunities in both sectors for any individual to earn profitably.

I know there are like super rich content creators but Some of the richest people in the world are actually traders/investors. Most traders don't need to show off but but content creators, I think it's a necessity because you to play the long game and keep the fans happy. Aside from riches or anything like that, na only traders and investors get the complete autonomy to control their destiny and how much them fit earn while content creators own dey heavily dependent on how many fans them fit pull and whether or not the platform them dey create content on, actually make profits from the traffic the content bring.

If Google and YouTube start making fewer revenues, payment for content creators go definitely drop. I know say traders/investors own, their nemesis go be nemesis or unfavorable market conditions but still, I feel like it offers much more opportunities.

You are actually correct in this. Content creation pays a lot especially now that monetization have become a thing across various platforms. The same content can generate income in Meta, Youtube, X, Instagram and many others and the same will continue generating income as long as it is online and being visited. It is even possible for a content creator to be a great investor in bitcoin using the proceed of the content because bitcoin investment requires capital. Content creation is truly changing lives and most of the huge holders of bitcoin are actually content creators who use crypto as a means of diversification.

Social life is all about hyping and uncertainty and it's equivalent to the AltCoins. That's literally to say the insights about them are disguised on calling public attentions for attaining viewers of the social contents just as the meme gaming projects and its features.
So don't think those content creators has made it richly in the reality life or to believe that those hyping AltCoins are so legitimate and profitable as maybe speculated in the media.

Mind you that before a content creators social account can be verified and monetized, it'd take periods of time in building the network while thriving on gathering audience as their followers and viewers. Perhaps, most content creators actually made it profitable while some gives up on the way because it doesn't seem that easy to earn from the network. As much, even those who're successful in the content creations doesn't really Worth the status because they're all hypers living false celebrity lifestyles.

Bitcoin and other reputable AltCoins are basically investment projects which is fostered on a long term holding to achieve a profitable goal and investors abilities to hodl for long is always unfailingly to profit investors and Investing on cryptocurrency encourages financial utilizations unlike the extravagant lifestyles of content creators spending their funds unnecessarily.

you know, one issue with being a content creator is that your fans are literally the ones that determines if you're going to remain in business or not. The moment you've lost your fanbase and you're no longer gaining the needed popularity, they literally forget about you as though you don't even exist. If you observe, it's just like content creators just come and then some phase our and new ones come in. The only good thing I have observed about them is that they are wise enough to invest into meaningful things at the time the money was coming in and even when popularity dies down it doesn't affect them that much because of what they've invested into.

Another thing to note about traders/investors is that you can decide to create content out of it. The likes of B-lord and fresh forex academy (though not into crypto) still have a large fan base they engage with and still earn money from creating crypto related content. Content creation doesn't mean that you must be a comedian or musician before creating content. If you've gained the required knowledge as a trader or you know best practices to be followed in Bitcoin investment, you can decide to create a Facebook page, YouTube channel and even a tiktok account where you share your knowledge with people and you will get your fanbase.

People are actually more interested in gaining financial dependent and if you're ready to run a channel as a content crypto trader/investor, you could earn from your channel as a content creator while still earning from your crypto trading.

We're in a country where a single stream of income can't foot your bills and so for me, a combination of both content creation and crypto trading/investing is the most profitable.

Content creation pays a lot of money, most times you don't really have to be too wealthy to venture into it, the knowledge to start it is not too much, having a phone and a data, you can start your own skit making or content creating, the funny thing is, even though the skit or content is not funny or informative, you will still see people engaging them a lot on social media.Meanwhile crypto trading/investment is highly technical and involves a lot knowledge, it also involves you having resources to venture into it, so ordinarily much people will go for the easy one which is social media skit or content creation which will give you money with less technicality.

Content creation brings more money to the table, and you can even get paid to do advertisements for big companies. I will look at it as a way of earning money, and the money made from content creation can be used to invest in Bitcoin, as people are now making a living by investing in Bitcoin. And are now really considering content creation because there is clearly money there, and people will go where there is money. Content creation is a popular job, with many young individuals pursuing it with enthusiasm.

I like how things change and new opportunities to make money arise, so it's either you make money or you don't, which is why it's a good idea to try new things. In the next few years now you see another opportunity for making money. Since its everyone that can invest in bitcoin. Having other side hustle just makes the whole thing very easy. Now is more like make money and invest. And this will even be a good opportunity for those that are holding.

The first person who gave you a good reply and i will as well go for content creation. Just like you have said not every content creator makes stupid and unnecessary contents in their pages. If am to go into it i will do something that is worth benefitting to my viewers and when i start getting paid i will surely invest in Bitcoin comfortably because i now know a lot about Bitcoin investment and how to manage my funds.

For ours, the country will make you to any length to be able to fend for yourself, but that doesn’t mean you should spread fake news or immorality in the society in order to get food on your table. Content creation is a very good business and if are a deep thinker and can sell what the people want to them, you’ll make money from content creation far better than you can imagine. The crowds are always in need of new trends and if you can produce contents that can suit that trend needed at that moment, you’ll be much loved and get peoples attention  and more followers that you can even imagine. Don’t go out of trend and be innovative always, you’ll see how far you’ll make it in the content creation industry than you can do in other sectors you can think of to be profitable.


Both are profitable but it depends on your niche and what you can afford to sacrifice to get what you want. Not everyone can be a public figure or portray themselves online but with crypto trading or investing, you can remain anonymous forever and be making your cool money day in day out. It’s just the risk that is associated with cryptocurrency that will make some people to go for other profitable investments, but crypto will make you money if you’ve understood how the market works and set your compasses well when venturing into it as a trader or as an investor.

Well I would choose content creation for one peculiar reason and that would be due to the risk involved with in crypto trading although for investment in bitcoin I think every one knowing the basics can invest and with the way things have already gone big with bitcoin the profits attached to just investing on bitcoin is not close to the money that content creation can generate for you if actually you are successful and know exactly what you are doing.

No be lie sha, na e make I dey proud to be a Nigerian because of our abilities and capacitas well because anyhow wey we won take survive we go just do am as far say na legal activity, we go do am.

Nothing dey easy free for this world o, everything na by money, like as people dey talk say na money dem dey carry to pursue money, no where e easy, the only be say anywhere wey person dey good at, make the person do although e get some people wey dey do the two at same time and dem dey benefit from the two but na just dedication e go require and time and we wey be Nigerians dey ready to do anything as far as e no go implicate us in any way, we go do am.

This a technical questions which needs patient to deal with. We can't just say content creating is more profitable but content creating will give you instant profit but cryptocurrency investment takes time before your can make profit. And if your invest in cryptocurrency with good amount then there is always a probability that you will make profit at the long run. But not all the content creators can make money from the content.
Therefore I will also support the motion that cryptocurrency is more profitable than content creation base on the fact that, if nobody watch your content then there is no profit from it. Bitcoin investment is not like that.

if we're doing a direct comparison in terms of choosing iether crypto or content creation, the fastest decision would be to choose content creation because you don't need to have too much before getting started as a content creator. As long as you have the needed skill, your camera and other small gadgets, you're good to go with your content creation. But when you're considering going into crypto, you need to have a strong source of income before even getting started. In addition to that, a staçk illiterate can't start up Bitcoin investments/ trading. But when you're considering content creation, most of the people that are into it aren't all that smart and you don't even have to know how to read before getting started. It's just expected that you have the needed talents or content and that's just it.

In terms of capital that could be generated from the two options, content creation is still a better option because it's easier for a total novice in the content creation industry to maneuver his way into getting his account monitzed but when it comes to crypto, you have to follow real process and have the fundamental knowledge or else you might end up loosing the money you already have.

Firstly, I want to let you know that none of this you mentioned here is bad, I mean they are both good but talking about content creation, if I may ask did you know what it takes to be a content creator even to the point that you are being paid all the week or months, do you know how many criteria you will have to meet. Content creation requires consistency in a particular thing one wishes to be doing and you will have to devote time for it and it always take longer period of time or maybe years for one account or page to be verified likewise crypto but I think crypto won't take much time before benefiting from it depending. Secondly, most of those people we see as content creator are into fraud while  some are into crypto, those of them that are into fraud use content creation to cover up what they are doing even some artists. In summary you can use content creation to invest in crypto and earn from there and you can also use crypto money to fresh up yourself and start creating quality content that will swift people on their feet.

No one can invest on Bitcoin when they don't have money, so the important thing is to get something doing before partaking on any investment (mostly crypto currency investments). Content creating is a kind of thing that doesn't need money from you because it's a kind of thing that requires talents, as long as you have a smart phone that has a good sharp camera and you are also a good content creator, you can excel with your contents when you are good in it. If you are a good content creator and you have the requirements on any social media platforms you will surely get paid. Like on X & Instagram it's a popular social media platforms that all of us already know and it pays every 14 days and it pays depends on your impressions and the kind of traffics you gets every 14 days. Although it might be hard to get to the stage you will get paid on social media platforms but I can tell you that when you understand how it works and the kind of contents the society likes it won't be that hard for you anymore. To cut long story short, when you have the money you can invest in Bitcoin, as they said that tomorrow is another today I believe that no time is late to invest in Bitcoin but on another way round, tomorrow is late to invest in Bitcoin but if you don't have the money to invest in Bitcoin now, when you have it in future it's not late then, so you just have to buy it. As a content creator all you need is only to be funny and we know Nigeria has a lot of populations that's why 90% of content creator have become a celebrity today. You can be a contest creator and still invest in Bitcoin, but when you do only one thing, you won't have much profits, so the more you get in positive things that can bring money to you that's also you get big profits too.

A look at the two shows that it can both be incorporated by an individual.  But the hustle in that of content creation make it more unlikely. But the pay also speaks louds because when you get it you have got it. The pay keeps coming even when asleep....

As much as content creators generate money from their content, there are lots of them that are into crypto currency exchange, but they are actually silent about it do to the society we live in.

Most of these content creators have a lot of investment, but usually the content covers it up.

There's something I noticed about investors, or maybe Bitcoin investors. Bitcoin investors are always not showing off where they get their money randomly. Render, make it low-key, and invest in it.

If you watch the content of Egugun of Lagos, you will realize that the majority of the big boys are into one or two trading markets but disguard themselves. They are always low-key and not social media people unless they are interviewed.
Most of these people have more money than the content creators, but because they're not celebrities and their net worth is not on the internet, we always accept what we see, which is the content creators. 

It takes a long while before a content creators can get much money and fame. And some times money is also involved in getting this fame.
They don't just make it big over night, that's one thing we should know.

Crypto and content creation all of dem get de potential to be bring profit, as long as say u no wetin u dey do. From my own reason if I go choose one I go choose content creation, because Content creation fit dey very accessible to start, just need small thing like Android phone with good camera. Once you dey put out good content u go attract good audience and start to see profit. Because if I dey into crypto na investment in bitcoin no be to trade and since na investment purpose I go get to hold for years so if don make profit from content creation e go dey smart to think about investing part of am for long-term like Bitcoin .

Both are major hit in the internet era,  both required consistency  to make it big time. Both needs mentorship and patience. But in Crypto you don't need to work for anybody to be successful,  you just need the knowledge and understanding to excel, but in content creation you need people to excel, you need likes, comments nd share to earn. In Crypto you just need ur capital and patience to be big. So Both needs consistency, but I'll choose Crypto over content creation, because Crypto isn't as stressful as content.

We can call Crypto software, while content creation is the hardware.lol

If you fit do content creating and investment or trade at the same time na your luck be that because investment dey different from full time job because wetin I dey see na people dey make money from YouTube, TikTok and other social media apps, at the same time I reason say you fit invest for bitcoin dey do your influencing job. No serious competition because all go still give you profit and at the same time both go take time before you go see profit, firstly to build followers and audience no dey easy at all na why you see say the upcoming content creators never still popular and secondly you go look wetin people like or want like for example my favorite YouTube shows wey I dey subscribe steady na comedy and baking class so if any content creator go for popular field the person go quick grow likewise crypto, bitcoin investment no be sharp sharp game.

Content creation can pay quick returns for those who are successful.

On the other hand; Crypto trading/investing can give high profit but high risk and long time horizon for safe return.
