Action speaks louder than words, so let FXT start already to pay back the customers that they scammed, not coming to make promises again. I hope that it's for real this time, atleast it'll be a solace to the category of investors that they plan to pay first, and a glimpse of hope to those that are not yet on the list. An exchange platform in my country that was hacked, has also been given this false hope to their customers, but I'm not sure that they've kicked off the payments of the first batch yet. It's a lesson for those that are still leaving bulk of their funds in exchanges, this scenerio could be their future predicaments.

I no de surprised say Bitcoin adoption de gradually increase for Nigeria, pass as e be before, because as hardship de increase everyday, people de find means to make money. Di wan wey OP talk about, maybe as di woman de collect di BTC she no go spend am, she go just de hodl am for bull run, so dat wen di matter set for peak of bull run, na sure banker say plenty ROI go enter for her wallet. Maybe after di bull run, wen Bitcoin go enter bear run, maybe sh no go get mind to collect Bitcoin again. Na only real hodlers go get di patience to de hodl for bear run, because dem know say na di best time to accumulate be dat. I look forward to wen every business person go get wallet addresses to de collect Bitcoin, like Bank account to collect naira, but e still far before we go reach dat level.

I think that what can increase the adoption of Bitcoin, and make people in remote areas to know about it and use it is when it's used to pay for transactions on day to day basis, when you can walk into a small shop and make payments with Bitcoin. Just merely telling and educating people about the advantages of Bitcoin as a digital cash is not enough if they can't use it. First a user needs a smart phone and internet connection, then you need to lecture them about the Blockchain technology, that is a handful for many people in the rural areas that are not literate.

The best and most effective way to increase Bitcoin adoption is when governments adopts it, and people begins to see it as an alternative currency in their countries, we know that it's not possible for now. This is the reason why majority of people that hodl Bitcoin, is for investment purposes.

To hodl Bitcoin na real hurdle e be , because e no easy to get mind to pass all di challenges, to come stand at di top to say yes I don overcome all of the stumbling blocks. As di picture show for di diagram for di OP, na some of di challenges wey person go face to di top, and di small things wey I fit to add for that uphill task na lack of money, because without money to buy Bitcoin, or to de do DCA method, magic no de for inside, di person no fit to succeed for Bitcoin investment.

So as Nigerian economy be like dis, wey be say almost di whole money wey people de make de go for food, because of di rising prices of goods and services everyday, e no de easy for people to invest in Bitcoin, no matter di knowledge and experience wey dem get. Di mind is willing but di pocket is weak for most people wey know wetin de about Bitcoin, but dem no get di money to invest.

This HODL memecoins on BNB doesn't really matter if it's the first or not, what we're more concerned about is whether it's a scam or legit project, there are too many memecoins out there that are putting holes in investors pockets, so you can't blame anyone for being skeptical about this meme that you're giving hype. I'm glad that you said that you invested the amount that you can afford to loose, and you're able to take profit, so from here you'll have to decide whether to continue hodling HODL or you'll just take profit and exit the project, because you never know what'll happen next.

The comments so far on this thread doesn't encourage me to click the links either, I however agree with you that we're in a temporary break, on the road to a bullish season, and that is what it is. From research after halving comes a dip that will fluctuates price for sometime before it'll be a smooth sail to bull run and ultimately a new ATH. I'm optimistic about seeing Bitcoin price at $100k in this year, that is why I recently joined the 100 pushups thread, because I know that the exercise will yield results. Any experienced Bitcoin holder will not worry or panic about the price juggling between $57k and $69k, it's a temporary measure, no matter how long it stays like this.

Everybody wants the GoodLife, some wants it in peace and quiet, some wants it loud and noisy, others wants luxury yacht, Lamborghini and mansions, there's nothing wrong if you can afford them. If you can't afford the life that you want, then you can either work towards it, which might take a long time, or you can shelf the dream or atleast live the life in your imagination, these are all choices.

If your plan is to create a coin that will be a get rich quick scheme, then you want to become a scammer, but if you want to have a 10 years plan and diligently do DCA method, probably Bitcoin price will be 10x what it is today. I'm sure that if you're working harder and smarter now to put significant money in the DCA, then maybe you can achieve your dreams. Remember that to be a millionaire, you need to think like a millionaire, not spend like a millionaire

I don't think that people will ordinarily allow others to manipulate them, it's either that they're brainwashed or they're forced to accept what the manipulators wants. People in countries where they have dictators as leaders or where elections are rigged and people who are not voted for entering power, it's not that the people don't know their rights, it's because they don't have the powers to confront and oppose these bad leaders. Who can blame people in these backward countries, if you oppose the government, bad things can happen to you, you can be jailed or executed. Until every country in this world begins to practice true democracy, oppression and corruption will still continue.

The advice is well taken, crime does not pay, whether it's in cryptocurrency or any other areas, criminals are bound to make just one tiny mistake that'll expose them and they'll be caught. I have the believe that if a government is bent on investigating anybody , that even if the person stash their loot in cryptocurrency, thorough investigation will find the person out. So crypto is not a safe haven for criminals.

To learn a skill or trade is very important for everybody, so that they won't be dependants on others to survive, and to reduce the chances of going into crime. Although learning a skill or trade is not a guarantee that the people will not be involved in crime, example is the person in the story who was born into wealth, yet he still chose criminality.

Stop lose is very helpful to traders in order to minimize loses, so if you're on stop lose, it'll be good to cultivate the idea, trading is hard and risky, you need to understand these facts.

Also the OP has been told so far on this thread that it's better to hodl reputable top altcoins, even when their prices dips, they will not dump on you, only a matter of time and they'll start to pump and become profitable for you. There are more scam projects in the crypto space than the legit, so in addition to carrying out research on altcoins that are relatively unknown, you should invest the amount that you can afford to loose.

I de look forward to dis pizza contest, e go de very interesting to follow observe something wey go de very interesting and lively for dis forum, no be only serious crypto and economic discussions. I for like to join for this Bitcointalk, pizza contest, but di problem be say na only once or twice I don chop pizza before, talk less of say make I sabi prepare am, so I no qualify to perticipate, but I go de cheer for our people wey go contest for di contest. I de very happy say humor de for dis very intelligent and serious forum, e make me to remember wen dem do me April fool, for dis forum, dis events and gestures de important to lighten up di mood for di forum. I wish all the contests best of luck for di bitcointalk, pizza day contrast.

Investment in altcoins is risky, and specifically investing in memecoins is a gamble, this should be a fact that anybody that wants to invest in them should have in mind. I liken most of these projects to Ponzi schemes, you invest your funds with the mindset that the ship can sink at anytime, so if you're able to get some reasonable returns on investment before it sinks, then you're in profit. Most of these projects are created with the intention of enriching the developers and scamming their victims who are the investors. The OP can take his chances and invest in the project that he talked about, it's his money, but I'll advise him to buy with the amount that he can afford to loose.

Bitcoin is what it is, no matter what we or anybody thinks about it, and the truth is that it's a store of value that is changing the lives of it's holders, so it's a gem that is not hidden, only the bold takes advantage of it's values. The world has evolved, from trade by bater, to valuables like gold and silver, to fiat currencies, now we're in the digital age, and Bitcoin, being a digital cash is taking over the naretive as the future currency. Some people and governments like to remain in their comfort zones, where they'll continue to do things the old ways, but they forget that the only thing that's permanent in this world is change.

I can agree with you that modern technology is making us humans to be lazy and totally reliant on machines to get things done, as much as they make life easier and work faster, I think that we should also try to get somethings done by ourselves from time to time. Kids this days will want to do little calculations, next thing they're using calculators, if there's no calculator around, they'll begin to fumble, also you'll see overweight adults taking slim pills instead of doing exercises to burn those calories, next thing self driving cars will take over our roads and people will sit like gadgets in a car and let robots decide their fates on the road.

What the OP said might sound like a joke but one day people might stop using their God given brains to think and reason, they'll be so lazy and delegate AI to do their thinking for them. And some developers can manipulate this machines to give the results that they want, then every other persons will become their puppets. Ofcourse this is just a theory, and I know that we humans are smarter than machines,, because we have natural senses, but we need to understand the dangers of totally relying on machines to make all our important decisions.

What is certain is that after this short term Bitcoin price pump and dump, that the only place that it's going is up, it's obvious from previous experiences that after halving, it'll be price dip and after that it'll be straight way to bull run. This is why many old time investors are not bothered about the short term price dip or speculations, because after all said and done price surge will lead us to bull run, and we don't need a prophet to prophecy this fact. Maybe price surge might start sooner than we expect, presently it's at $67k, so breaking the former ATH might happen soonest, then there'll be no major dip till after the peak of bull run.

Clearly reputable exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, are not exchanging mmk directly, so I also think that it limits the OP choices to buy Bitcoin directly from centralized exchanges because of KYC requirements. His best option that I can think of is what he doesn't want, being p2p transactions to exchange his fiat to Bitcoin. On the other hand, as you suggested, he can find an intermediary in his country, convert his mmk to dollar, and use it to buy Bitcoin directly in an exchange.

If this Ivernectine, drug has been proven to be a cure for cancer, then that is a very big win for cancer cure which as far as I know has no known cure. I don't think that it'll be difficult to know whether the drug can really cure cancer, as we have many cancer patients, all we need do is wait for many of them to take the Ivernectine, and see if it cures them, or atleast know the percentage of the patients that will receive partial or permanent cure, if it doesn't work on cancer patients, then we'll know that it's a scam.

I think that the medical field should try and verify the authenticity of this Ivernectine, because the price will skyrocket as this information is spreading, so that it doesn't mislead people to think that it's a cure for cancer, if it's not. It could also deprive animals that it's meant for, if the information is not true.

Newbies without experience in cryptocurrency should humbly focus on Bitcoin investment, when they've increased their knowledge and gained enough experience about how altcoins work, then they can start to invest with the amount that they can afford to loose. Bitcoin investment doesn't require any research before investing in it because it has proven to be the most reputable cryptocurrency, you don't need to fear whether it's a scam project or become a shitcoin in the future, but many altcoins are scams, that is why investors should go for reputable top altcoins, and if they want to go for new projects, they should first research the projects, even at that they're still risky.

Congratulations to everybody that participated in the notcoin, airdrop, they're all smiling to the exchanges, to grab their rewards, a well deserved achievements. I'm among the few that didn't perticipate in their mining, was occupied with other things, my friend who participated diligently, got enormous rewards. I think that notcoin, has a strong community, and anybody that has the funds can buy into it, hopefully the project will go far and continue to be profitable to it's investors,

Cryptocurrency de legal for Nigeria, and as far as I de concerned, dem never talk for anywhere say e de banned, but how di matter say our government no ban cryptocurrency take help us wey de for inside. Na everytime our government de take crypto matter de front for them ineffective leadership, crypto don become scapegoat, wey dem de take front, like say Nigerian problems base on cryptocurrency.

First na say make Banks no facilitate crypto transactions, we overcome dat one, dem come talk say make Banks de facilitate am, how di facilitation help us, zero. Now na to come after naira p2p for reputable exchanges, how young Nigerians, wey de survive for crypto business wan survive. After dem go say our youths lazy and dem be scammers. Na only God, go always de make a way for us wey de into crypto things.
