It is not surprising that you made most of your money from shitcoins and you must also realize too that there are also a lot of people that lost money from other shitcoins too. Aside from Dogecoin and Shiba Inu that long-term Holder did make some profits from, the problem is that these shitcoins ain't really a good option for long-term investment. Many new meme coins didn't make it like do two did and many people have invested in them, so I would agree that you are one of the lucky ones.

For them to even consider looking at the possibilities of Banning or not banning means a good thing because if it was not, they couldn't even consider it.  I think in the years to come even though I don't see most countries taking it as a legal tender but there will surely be more acceptance and regulations with Bitcoin because it is no longer undeniable.

I don't mean to put down your work and I believe people have a different opinion on things but I just think that the price is too steep ETH0.25 ($667.76). Maybe it is because I still don't understand the idea behind most NFTs and now that many .Jpgs are just been thrown on site with $ value and I also believe that what investors complained about BSC with cryptocurrencies is what we might see with Polygon and NFTs.  

Not because of the way you put it, but for me, it is just that I don't believe that the whole government in the world would have the same consensus about Bitcoin at the same time regardless of whether we think the Government doesn't like Bitcoin.
You see, the world has existed before Bitcoin and will still exist without Bitcoin but the Fishes, well you know and sure Bitcoin has shone a new light on financial investment and I too don't see it stopping anytime soon.

It doesn't even make any sense for them to even pursue that narrative about Bitcoin in the first place. How many scams and money laundering and many other financial vises have been done with Fiat currency, why was there no rally of banning Fiat currency? Bitcoin was just been hated upon without any meaningful reason but this will fade with more positive news coming forth about the Bitcoin ecosystem that it is not as bad as what they believe. 

Congrats to you and sure feels good especially if you are a Bitcoin enthusiast cos you know you would hold on to it not just only as an asset with value but also as a souvenir because it was gotten as a payment from a development you did. I would take Bitcoin payment any day over fiat, enjoy.

I don't think this will be a problem for the OP because as far as I know, all of such king of Businesses operating especially in places like FCT where the OP said will have to apply for a Government permit to operate so probably have one but I think since the issue would be that Crypto trading is restricted in Nigeria so how is the OP collecting payments and how popular is this news cos I know FCT is the seat of the Government and with a News like this, the Authorities will be on your AS$ ASAP for violation of the law.

Yeah, sometimes we might say we don't believe that some of these exchanges are doing enough to keep investors or traders fund safe but I also believe that hackers are going all out to still have access to these exchanges so I don't think in this case it is a question of this particular exchange. See this List of Cryptocurrency Exchange Hacks and understand that it has been going on for a while now. Anyways, it was good news to know that they were eventually caught.

So are you trying to say that scam cryptocurrency projects started from the Binance smart chain? Are you for real? we have been having scam projects in the space since before BSC was developed, if you ask a lot of people here to list the first scam coins or failed projects they still hold in their wallets today will definitely without a doubt be from Ethereum Network like most I have in my wallet from 2017, should I now conclude that projects on ETH network are scams?

Even though I definitely agree with you when it comes to Investing in Bitcoin as it is mostly a guarantee that you will surely make a profit over time from your investments regardless of when you invested I believe that if we looked at some Alts too, though you didn't mention which ones failed you, you will find some good enough projects to invest in, I guess that's why you said some and not all.

The same reason you like their decision is the same reason the El Salvadorian government chose Bitcoin over stable coins because they are stable. They needed something that will at least propel the country forward in terms of financial gains which is to be the outcome of an investment. the country has been in that financial problem and adopting stable coins wouldn't have made any impact except for Bitcoin Investment which will definitely make an impact on the economy if they keep on other infrastructural development around it. 

Before Binance, my first traded exchange back in 2016 was Bittrex. I had most of my trades there but will also trade other exchanges if the tokens and coins I had were not traded or listed on the Bittrex exchange, but now it is mostly Binance exchange apart from some few listed I traded on before.
Kucoin
Huobi

When your portfolio is showing you profits When you are going into trading or Investment in cryptocurrencies you must have a target in mind that you wish to get whether as a daily trader or for investment but some don't seem to understand this, so you might be looking at a 2x daily trading profit or just decides to hodl for a longer time and take profit during the next bull circle.

Are you thinking that there might be a time when countries go to war because of Bitcoin Neh, that is not happening regardless of how wants to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender or not or even those that just accept to allow its trade as an asset even if not as a legal tender. I don't think Bitcoin is that type of asset that can lead to that and besides, how many percentage is left to mine anyways that they will want to fight over.

I would rather have us not get ahead of ourselves in this assumption. I understand the fear of many but we have also seen cryptocurrencies adopted as a legal tender, well Bitcoin to be precise so if this is the case, maybe just that one country will be the haven for all miners peradventure what you are thinking happens which I doubt anyways will happen besides I believe other countries even if they have not adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender but they are not against it either, so I believe we are good.

True but maybe she just wanted to take the risk and because the transaction was done over a video call as mentioned by OP could have given her another level of confidence that she could identify the people. Anyways, lucky her and also a good publication for the father and son.

This is just the bottom line for me too but even with you doing your research on some new projects does not mean that you are free of scams this is why it is important to understand that Crypto investment is you taking a risk and that anything can happen especially with new projects.

I believe that we are all for Bitcoin but as the topic states, "People Overthink Potential of Bitcoin" even in the medieval era, there has been some sought of government so stop thinking Bitcoin will outlast any government.


You are right about that because we do read here in this forum how people are still hodling some coins/tokens with no value what so ever and Please this is not me equating Bitcoin to those but just stating that you can HODL your Bitcoin asset but what it will be traded at in the future is to our imagination.


Even though I see that as an assumption, however, if it did fail what would your US stock amount to?

So my take in all of this is, let's just enjoy BTC as a hedge against inflation and not a replacement to the financial system

Exactly. I remember even most Altcoins too had a good uptrend during this time. I know cos I bought BNB at $40 and we all saw that BNB went up to $600+ in 2021 and so were other Altcoins too. There will always be corrections and if you can zoom out and look at the market trend you would realize we can say that we are still in the bull market cos as you said, Bitcoin is still 10x higher than the 2020 price.

For me, Cryptocurrency trading and Investments are mostly about knowledge and some level of luck. You might be right when you said, people are making money from investing in some type of cryptos, a lot of other traders have lost money from those too so it wasn't because they knew it was a better option but just took a higher Risk = Higher reward.
