1  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Crypto Armed Robbery in Nigeria – A Growing Threat on: September 26, 2025, 05:00:15 PM


In recent times, Nigeria has witnessed an alarming rise in incidents where young people are robbed of their crypto fortunes by individuals allegedly parading as police officers. These cases are not isolated. Across different states, several victims have shared their painful experiences online. On Instagram, popular Nigerian activist Harrison Gwamnishu (@harrison_gwamnishu) has documented numerous accounts of such unfortunate encounters.

Today, a large number of Nigerian youths are crypto-minded. Many own crypto wallets on their phones, holding significant fortunes they’ve worked hard to build. Sadly, this has made them prime targets. Imagine being stopped at a checkpoint, threatened at gunpoint, and forced to transfer your crypto assets into a wallet provided by these so-called officers—who take advantage of the anonymity of crypto transactions and the lack of strong crypto regulation in our country.

So far, no meaningful justice has been served to the victims. These criminals often go scot-free, leaving behind traumatized, impoverished young entrepreneurs whose only “crime” is striving to build a future through digital assets.

This is a call for awareness. Young crypto entrepreneurs in Nigeria must be vigilant and take proactive steps to secure their wallets from unidentified men posing as police officers. Beyond awareness, it is high time that a structured organization—possibly working hand in hand with federal security agencies—be established to combat crypto-targeted armed robberies in Nigeria.

Our youths cannot continue to suffer in silence. If we do not spread the word, more lives, dreams, and futures will be cut short by these criminals on our roads and checkpoints. This menace must be addressed before it further destroys the spirit of innovation and enterprise among Nigerian youths.
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin in Autobiography on: February 23, 2025, 04:11:51 PM
My Autobiography won’t be completely done without discerning my Bitcoin journey, more especially the ups and down of Bitcoin, yeah I know it is the volatility nature of the coin and the most interesting part.

The revolution of Bitcoin has brought so much freedom to man, has literally blessed earth with diverse opportunities and knowledges. It’s a career path for many, a poverty eradication program to many communities around the world.
A decentralized technology that is taking over the world day to day swift transaction, investments, store of value etc
The impact of Bitcoin in the life of a modern man cannot be overemphasized.

A Bitcoin enthusiasts is a living legend, in the course of my Bitcoin journey I once worried about what happens to my Bitcoin when I die but now I worry no more because in my autobiography I would be allocating my Bitcoin wallets to my love ones, given each the specific hardware that contains the wallet details and personalized access.

For the years of believing in the technology, mining here and there, holding, buying, selling, researching, late nights, risks etc
I have come to a realization that Bitcoin is a great spice to my autobiography because of it’s fun filled experience, knowledges and financial leverages.

I read your post carefully and I can categorically tell you that there's no point pushing this narrative, life's a rollercoaster, the so called poor man today with no bitcoin could be a multi bitcoin holder in the nearest future.
A bitcoin enthusiast might be struggling financially today but that doesn't kill the bitcoin desire in them, owning bitcoin is a financial journey, could be slow and steady because every satoshi matters.

5  Other / Beginners & Help / Bitcoin is the kidney of cryptocurrency on: July 15, 2023, 08:51:04 AM
 The big question is can you live without kidney? I guess the answer is NO so therefore Bitcoin is the kidney of digital currencies.

In our world of today where Blockchain technology has created financial freedom lots of digital currencies enthusiasts,  believe Bitcoin investments have the striving potential to produce modern age digital currency millionaires and possibly billionaires. I'm not here to talk about Bitcoin volatility, even life itself is volatile but it's worth holding on so Bitcoin also is worth holding on. Why did I say this;  many atimes I hear people using Bitcoin volatility nature to excuse themselves for not investing.

Bitcoin has attracted even world great men and made them believe in blockchain technology. It's not an underlying factor that Bitcoin is a great accumulation of worth. I persive Bitcoin as the emperor, the conquerer and game changer for any jack striving to survive in digital currencies. It's influence cannot be overemphasize, Bitcoin have a multilateral influence in a large number of multi national industries, and could transform a number of sectors globally ranging from agricultural sectors, medicals, logistics sectors are also beneficiaries of Bitcoins, it supply energies to even the  centralized systems.

I'm originally from a society where, enthusiasts are optimistic that Bitcoin existence is part of a daily activities. Bitcoin influence makes it a fascinating investment to enthusiasts and also gives promising future for other altcoins. Bitcoin is endowed with tight security technology and has long term store of value.
However this is my candid strategical advise to all cryptocurrency enthusiasts to first master the stages and dangers( yes Bitcoin can also be dangerous if not traded with caution) it is greatly important to gradually understand the sophisticated security system.

There are cases you will need to consult and seek advice from some trusted professional Bitcoin traders. to help you understand the signs  language of Bitcoin. How do you know when is the best time to buy and sale?  Generally the world of cryptocurrency is a complex world just like the University with different departments, faculties, staffs and so on, so enthusiasts should also take time to comprehend common pitfalls that stands in the face of a promising investment.
6  Other / Off-topic / The unfortunate trader on: July 01, 2023, 04:03:04 PM
Before I started trading Bitcoin there is this good friend of mine that I have always looked up to. He was a full time Bitcoin trader and I admire his courage and dedication in Bitcoin trading. So seeing all this energy in him I promise my self that once i lay my hands on a reasonable amount of money I will run to him to guide me through. But something happened along the line. On the 21st of October 2018 he had a fatal accident with his power bike and he had a serious brain injury that lead to a  brain surgery.
So after the surgery he recovered but then his mental state became unstable up till now. And prior to the accident he has over 7 Bitcoin in his wallet and now he can't even remember his name sometimes talk more of remembering his password. So my people is there anything anybody here can suggest that will help the family recover this Bitcoin because right now the family is financially down and  my friend is still on treatment.

It is a normal thing now, many girls are into Bitcoin investment infact some girls are even more experienced in Bitcoin investment more than so men.

For me in this our generation there can only be a momentary shutdown of network. It cannot last for so long. So believe me there must be a way out.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or banking investment? on: May 28, 2023, 09:47:12 AM
Saving money in the bank is different from Bitcoin investment. If you deposit money in the bank it gives you low or no income and still your capital remains intact. But in that of Bitcoin case it is risky because you may loose half of your money within short period of time and at the same time make triple of your money within short period of time. So in all it better to have some of your money saved in the bank for taking care of some things and also some in Bitcoin and wait till the price increase.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wife discovers husband's hidden Bitcoin during divorce proceeding on: May 26, 2023, 01:54:53 PM
Well for me disclosing your Bitcoin phrase to your spouse is not a bad idea if there is this trust and understanding but then in terms of this your story of sharing his Bitcoin for divorce purposes simply because the wife hired some forensic experts is a weak step for me because there is no evidence. So if he shares it he just wanted not because of anything else.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The last side of Bitcoin I've failed to look into on: May 24, 2023, 07:15:04 PM
Yes it is possible to make profit in Bitcoin but that is only when u hold then wait for the price to increase. And if u can't wait for the price to increase you can also trade.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain on: May 23, 2023, 05:59:40 PM
Teaching children about Bitcoin is a nice thing because it will give them that grounded knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin before they come of age. From ten years is not bad at all at least before clocking eighteen the child will be alright.

14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment, fulltime endeavor or side hustle? on: May 22, 2023, 07:49:04 PM
No doubt people make profit in Bitcoin trading but the idea of making it a full time job is a no no to me  reasons being that Bitcoin price is volatile. You may or may not make any profit at the end of a month. But when you have a job you know that at the end of the month a particular amount will be paid to you. So for me Bitcoin remains a side hustle 😔😔.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can personality trait or ones DNA sequence determine ones success in Bitcoin? on: May 21, 2023, 04:42:24 PM
In my own opinion being successful in Bitcoin trading is not in any way associated with personality traits or gene. Any person can be successful in Bitcoin irrespective of his or her personality traits. In most cases I see Bitcoin trading as a thing of luck if you are lucky enough you make something out of it because Bitcoin market fluctuate so no one can tell....
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Know your time to HOLD on: May 20, 2023, 05:25:41 PM
Bitcoin market is something no one  can actually tell when it is best to buy or hold instead you buy when you have what it takes to and wait for the outcome. From my little experience I think every time is best to buy and hold  Bitcoin all you need is Patience...
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My friend's investment in Bitcoin on: May 19, 2023, 05:01:15 PM
You have done well by talking your friend into Bitcoin investment, it is a nice move in the sense that it helps to build the Bitcoin community. But on the other hand your friend needs deep understanding and  knowledge about Bitcoin I understand you told him about the profit and lose but then it is not enough he needs a deeper knowledge for him to excel more in Bitcoin world.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your Life After 10 years in Bitcoin... on: May 19, 2023, 04:45:31 PM
Actually is not up to 10yrs I know Bitcoin but then I have known Bitcoin since 2018 and that was after it's ATH in 2017. Since then  I have seen Bitcoin price fluctuate but still I won't say it is a bad experience and I also believe that before my 10yrs experience in Bitcoin I will make a huge profit  and I believe it 😀😀
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trust in cryptocurrency? on: May 19, 2023, 04:30:44 PM
It is possible due to the fact that the world is evolving but still it needs time is not something that will happen now. The awareness surrounding Bitcoin is not that much but I believe that with time cryptocurrency will soak into our lives and everybody will be seeing it as a normal thing. In all all it needs is experience and time.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the benefits of investing in bitcoin trading? on: May 18, 2023, 07:31:21 PM
Yeah I agree with you that trading Bitcoin is secure and safe but when it comes to quick money making I don't agree with u totally, for an individual to trade and make money in Bitcoin you first of all need knowledge and experience
