I don't think Satoshi is ever going to move their coins, and even if Satoshi does move coins, it would not change people's idea of what bitcoin is to them or what they want to use it for. That being said, there would be implications on the price of bitcoin if Satoshi's coins move, there would be a lot of uncertainties surrounding why Satoshi moved their coins and it will make many people sell off and the price will fall.
Yes, if you join the new chain and claim the forked coins.

I think it is very common for people to have the thought or belief of turning their passion into something that would be profitble for them and earn them money, but just like a lot of us have found out, things do not always work out in that way. My hobby is playing football and i always had that dream to play football professionally, but it didn't work out in that way for me and somewhere along the line i chose a different career path, and i don't have any regrets, i still play though, but solely as a hobby right now.

How can this become a business, there are already enough blockchain explorers that people can find some of this data on, and i don't think too many will have the same hobby as you, looking for addresses of centralized exchanges.
I wish you luck on that, even though i doubt it that people would waste their time on something like this, maybe it is time to get a productive hobby.

It is not everyday that a "Buy bitcoin" sign is flashed in the U.S congress when the Federal Reserve chair is giving a speech, that is what makes it unique and there is no such paper like it in the world, that is why it is rare. Mind you that i would not spend anything close to this amount for this, but maybe i cannot be sure about that as i am not as rich as the BTC whale who bought it, it is better to talk about certain decisions when you actually can afford it.

E dey very clear now that our government no fit dey friendly to crypto, though dem never officially ban crypto for Nigeria, but i would not be surprised if that is the next thing they would do.

Naija na the first country wey i don see wey dey blame crypto for their bad economic situation, it just feels like the government is looking for scapegoats and they found one with cryptocurrency and its users. That being said, Nigerians dey very good at fighting through barriers, so i think we would still overcome this one.

I don't care, i do not keep my assets on any centralized exchange and you also shouldn't.

Proof of reserves can be manipulated, and mind you that poof of reserves makes no sense when you don't actually know how much the exchange owes in liabilities and they are not going to give you the information on the amount of customers assets that they hodl. Don't trust any centralized exchange, no matter how they try to prove that your money is safe with them, use your non-custodial wallet and control your assets.

E get many vendors wey i know and dem dey trade on whatsapp, some of them even have their websites (not big local exchanges), and they also trade a lot of coins there. If you dey watch comedy skits for Naija, you go see all these our comedians dey advertise different agents/vendors wey you fit trade gift card, bitcoin and different other assets, so it is true that there is a lot of trading going on outside of crypto exchanges, but the figures might have been exaggerated by Ray.

That being said, e no dey safe to trade on social media platforms, vendor fit carry your money run oh, that is the risk when you trade in this way, and that is why a lot of us here choose global exchanges.

Even if this is implemented and a notice is added, it wouldn't still stop users who want to reply to that topic from doing so, thus it does not change anything.
Correct, particularly if there is a new information to add to the topic or if there are wrong and misleading ideas in the thread that needs to be corrected.

Make we dey calm for now, no rush go sell all your coins because say our government don dey very hostile to crypto. Some centralized exchanges still dey allow crypto to Naira trade on their platform, wetin dey fear me pass for now be say our government don instruct banks to block accounts of any user who is involved in crypto transactions and to expose their personal info to them.

That being said, make everybody begin learn how to trade in decentralized exchanges, because that could be the only option pretty soon, but even then the fear would be that we don't get our accounts blocked one day, but it will be hard for them to prove that you were involved in a crypto transaction.

Be realistic with your predictions, Solana cannot rise as high as this and i am pretty sure you know that. You are hodling Solana and i get it that you want to hype the coin up and maybe attract more people to it, fair enough, but people know better these days.
It is also not uncommon to see Solana users complain of bugs and "transaction failures" in the network, so maybe you should be careful of how much you are hyping this coin.

If you want to make a compilation of proposed additions to the forum, then i am afraid you have to do the research yourself and post it here, i don't really know what purpose it will serve, but if it is something you want to do, then go ahead and do it.

Identifying the OP at a glance
It feels like the opposite to me, how are you respecting the founder when you are using bitcoin in a way that is different from what they envisaged.

E dey inevitable say very soon Patricia go shut down completely, dem don deny the rumor say dem never shut down and it could be true that they are still operating right now, but in a short time to come, they will shut down. They have lost customer trust, and business wey no get customer go close na, it is a natural thing.

Global exchanges dey better, but if a local exchange comes up in the future and shows the Nigerian crypto community that they offer a good service, we go support dem, so i no go fit talk say make we no trust local exchanges. Wetin i go talk be say make nobody keep money for any exchange, whether na global or na local.

My problem with this "epic sat" being auctioned and sold for 33.3 bitcoin is that it tends to make people believe that bitcoin is non-fungible when indeed it is fungible, this sat now has a different value and can no longer be interchanged with another sat of equal value, when ordinarily it should.

I don't have a problem when things like the "buy bitcoin" paper is being auctioned, of course it is non-fungible and there is something that makes it unique and differentiates it from other pieces of paper or similar writings on them, but bitcoin as a currency is fungible and any utxo should be interchangeable with another one of the same value.

Yes, this morning, the news is not everywhere yet, but you can find it on Twitter. So many people were trying to trade crypto for Naira on OKX this morning, but they found out that they couldn't do so, after inquiring about it in OKX's official "Help Desk" page, they got the information i posted in the OP.
So incompetent, our government no know wetin dem dey do, and it is very typical of them to go after things that are not the cause of the actual problem.

If you are an OKX user here, you must have found out by now that you can no longer trade crypto for Naira in that platform. E be like say our government don secretly warn this platform and told them to stop offering trading in Naira for Nigerians. First it was Binance, now it is OKX, i dey believe say very soon trading in Naira in centralized exchanges no go dey possible again.



E be like say the fight against crypto by our government no go stop anytime soon, so e better make everybody begin protect themselves and their funds, they might start blocking bank accounts at the slightest suspicion of any involvement in crypto transactions.

Why should it, workers in Nigeria are underpaid and they should be earning far more than what they earn, the Nations minimum wage also has to be increased. The salary raise is a welcome development, but not so great; for example if we go with 25%, then it means someone who was earning a N100,000 now earns N125,000, this is an insignificant amount if you factor in our current economic realities.

That being said, e get crucial areas of our economy that needs sorting out to tackle inflation. Refinery wey dem say go begin work, we never still see anything. We suppose also cut down on government expenditure and also support local businesses/macro economics, etc. No be salary raise dey cause inflation na, it is our terrible policies/bad decision making.

If you had read through the thread, and not just reading the OP alone and replying to it, you would have had a little understanding about the wallets mentioned in the OP. A handful of users in this topic have said something about both bitcoin core and Ledger hardware wallet, which are the two wallets the OP mentioned, but you didn't read their post. If you don't read through threads how are you going to learn and have an idea about things like this.

Yes, i believe so too, but waiting for Theymos to act can be really frustrating most times, particularly when the changes are long overdue. Congratulations Igebotz, i am pretty sure you'd make a great moderator for our local section and keep it clean, now that our activity has increased greatly.

How does bitcoin come into this and how is it going to improve the economic situation of your country. So many of you do not really understand what bitcoin is, it is not a panacea to the world's problems; it is just a decentralized currency that hasn't even been massively adopted around the world.

If you want a better economic situation for yourself, then your nation should elect good/competent leaders. Take your time to also better your own chances of success by learning new skills, taking up extra jobs and learning how to earn money from different sources.
