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.

There's no guarantee in memecoins, you buy them and hope that you've picked the one that'll give you many times your investment fund,  because they're risky investment. I'll just make a pick, do the research that I can and get in as early as I can, make some profit and exit the project.

When I started hearing about notcoin, I didn't give it any attention, but yesterday when my friend who went ahead was bragging about how much he received in their airdrop, I really envied him, because i had the chance to get in too, but I didn't, this is because you never really know that coin/token that'll give you so much ROI.

Thanks for correcting the OP, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, that is not owned by any country, and it doesn't have any central office, if it becomes a physical currency, then the purpose of it's creation, would be defeated. If Bitcoin becomes a physical currency or cash, then it must submit to a central bank that will regulate it's printing, meaning that it'll them become centralized and that privacy that comes with holding it will not be possible again. I think that Bitcoin is better off being a digital cash than a physical one, the only thing that we need is massive adoption, so we can carry out transactions anywhere in the world.

Some people haven't heard about Bitcoin, some of the people that have heard about it doesn't know what it is, while some knows what it is but either they don't have interest in digital currency or they just don't care. Before I came to understand how Bitcoin works, I used to think that it's one of those Ponzi schemes, where people will be investing their money and they'll be getting returns on their investments, that one day when the developers have amersed enough wealth, they'll just shut down, I know that some people that have heard about Bitcoin, still holds this untrue notion. I believe that Bitcoin adoption is increasing gradually, and one-day, everybody in every corner of the world will own a crypto wallet, just like bank accounts.

Logically I'll wonder how I can afford to build or buy a house, instead I'll go ahead to rent, it doesn't make financial sense to me, unless I'm in an area where I'll be staying for a short period of time, even at that, I can still move and sale the house or put it on rent. Real estate is one of the best investments that anybody can go into, it's physical asset that appreciates as time goes on, so if you have the money to buy or build, it doesn't matter whether you're going to live in it or not, just have the property and someone else will rent it and pay you money.

In cryptocurrency it's much better to swap your altcoins to stablecoins, and when you want to buy another altcoin, you'll just swap back to buy the one that you've chosen, it's more convenient that wey instead of going through the process of converting it to fiat, and then using it to buy the altcoin again. Another advantage of holding stablecoins is that it gives you the opportunity to watch out for a profitable altcoin to buy, without worrying about whether price will dump on you, while you're waiting.

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, and I've stayed anonymous until now, I wouldn't surface, because the welcome party have become tired of waiting and there'll be no red carpet waiting to receive him. He's better off remaining anonymous and let his famed legendary to continue, he created Bitcoin, that promotes privacy and decentralization, and he's living the example of it, never interfering with the dev. team.

As for the BTC in his wallet, it'll be a shame to let it go to waste, I'd have loved for it to be giving to charity, since he's perhaps too rich that he doesn't need it. On second thought, if the BTC is moved, then perhaps it could be traced, and by chance his identity can be revealed.

Governments, organizations, companies and individuals de borrow money for projects wey go yield dem more money and to better dem lives, so dat from revenue or income wey dem de get from di borrowed money, dem go pay am back. But di problem for a country like our own be say dem go collect loan to pay salary or put am for where no go fit to generate income to repay the loans. Sometimes dem go collect loan for one project, but di money go end up for anoda place, dem go embezzle everything.

Corruption na our biggest problem for dis country, dem go borrow money, share am finish, afterall no be dem personal loan, na government borrow di money, dat na why we de always hear every new administration wey enter power, go de lament say na huge dept dem inherit from di outgoing administration. Dem too go embezzle dem own and leave di responsibilities of repayment to di next administration, if no foreign banks gree give dem again, na to begin to look inward to borrow from local financial institutions. I no support dis borrowing from pension funds, because na ordinary Nigerians last hope for retirement, any mismanagement of dem funds na wickedness of di highest order be dat.

In the memecoins ranking, Shiba Inu, is higher than pepe, also shiba is more popular than pepe, if you're judging by that, Shiba Inu, will carry the day, but it goes beyond that, because we don't know the one that'll be more bullish in this season, but I'll still put my money on shib. Although in this alt season, a new meme can emerge and be the toast of memecoins for the bull run, I can't rule out any possibilities. My advice will still be to invest the amount that you can afford to loose, in memecoins and any new projects.

If I have only one job and there's no other means for me to earn money to take care of my responsibilities, then I'll have no better choice than to collect my salary in fiat. This is because Bitcoin adoption has not gained popularity that you can walk into any local shop, buy things and make payments with it, because 98% will not accept it, but they will accept the country's fiat currency, also you can use fiat to buy Bitcoin for investment. Another reason why it's not advisable for low income earners to collect their salaries in Bitcoin, is during price dip, the little salary that they're managing to make ends meet will start to diminishing

It's true that insurance will be patronized more in developed countries because their economies are stable and their governments have structured their economies that the rate of poverty, is not much. But in developing and underdeveloped countries, where the rate of poverty is very high, people are not concerned about insurance, their main focus is to be able to have enough money to cater for basic needs like food, and who can blame them, if they have children that are out of school because of money and they can't feed their families. But anywhere in the world, if someone doesn't fall under the category of impoverished people, then they need to have insurance, because nobody knows tomorrow, life can happen and the table can turn around, where they'll need support.

Making profits is the climax of every business and investments, ofcourse there'll be no reason for the person not to feel accomplished, when they receive ROI. But you should let your friend to understand that Bitcoin investment is better to hold on the long term, it will guarantee him of a higher ROI, because it's a store of value and the it's history has shown that the longer it's held on the long term, the more profitable it becomes for the holder. If he has a job that gives him steady income, then let him adopt the DCA method, it'll help him to more committed in his Bitcoin investment on the long term.

I don't think that the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, has anything to do with banking and finance, so I don't see how these two can resolve the war. Russia, clearly don't want the influence of NATO to come near it's territory, and as long as that threat is still visible, the war might still continue. Financial matters can only come to play in the war, if either of them don't have fundings for the war again, but as a matter of pride, I think that both sides will continue to fund themselves, both internally and externally. I look forward to when the war will end, because it has draged on for a long time, and I believe that the two sides have exhausted themselves.

I believe that we hear more of success stories about Bitcoin, than failure stories, this is because it's the most reputable and trusted cryptocurrency, also it's a store of value, that guarantees a success story for people who hodl it. Anybody that is holding Bitcoin, with the right knowledge, will always tell a success story, failure story can only come out of ignorance and negligence, like not securing your seed phrase, or leaving your Bitcoin in an exchange or related platforms, where they can go bankrupt or be hacked. Most of the failures in Bitcoin investment are from external factors, unless if someone makes a mistake and borrows money to buying Bitcoin to sale on the short term and make profit, if price begins to dip, it becomes a failure story, because Bitcoin is a long term project.

If it's possible to mine offline as this project claims, then let people that wants to explore it to give it a try and we'll see how it works out, as an experiment for others to learn. I'll not be involved in this offline mining, because it doesn't sync with how I believe that mining should work, I believe that mining should be done online, as it has always been. Offline could be the next evolution for crypto mining, but I highly doubt.

A friend send me message dis morning to give me dis sad news, di thing just ruin my day, I just de wonder how our government go take dem hand de comot food from dem citizens mouth, our country matter just de tire me di more everyday. First na Binance, den na okx, now na cucoin, who know di one wey go be next, dem just de disable all di reputable exchanges naira p2p. I hope say people no go jump enter scam crypto platforms because of dis developments, e de really pain me say na our government de do dis things to us, dem go leave where Nigerian problems de, come de destabilize people legitimate sources of income. I know say crypto business don come to stay for Nigeria, we na wise people, we must always find a way to do our businesses and survive.

I want to appreciate this thread for giving me a reason to start exercising, something that I've not given priority for a very long time, and after Bitcoin hits $100k, I'm not going to stop this daily pushups. My day 1 was 13, my day 2 was 2 sets, 10,8, today I've done 3 sets 8,5,6. I'll be adding 1 set everyday, until I reach 10 sets a day, hopefully the pains in my arms will be reducing and I'll be pushing more in every set. My count will be 100k,kelward,3,50,2024-05-15.

Low fees is important in choosing a crypto platform, but security should be given more priority, people should first of all look out for a platform that has built reputation and is very trustworthy, because what is the essence of low fees when you're not sure of the reputation of your intending crypto platform. The interface is also important after making sure of the reliability of the platform, so that there'll be clear understanding of how the platform operates.

Some comments on this thread are doubting whether the OP story is true or lie, but I won't worry about that because I'm not in his family to confirm, I however look at the bright side of the story, that Bitcoin, can actually change a person's fortune. The OP was lucky that he invested and within months Bitcoin price surged, and he was able to get more than double his investment fund in ROI, what if price had dipped instead, he wouldn't be singing this happy song. Bitcoin is a long term investment, not a get rich quick scheme, and I believe that anybody that borrows money to invest in it and wants to get profit on the short term is gambling his funds, because Bitcoin is volatile, it's price and pump and dump on the short term, and there's nothing that the investors can do about it.
