Where and how to buy bitcoin in 2024.

[AVE5]

Believably there are lot of people out there interested to invest on bitcoin but the scamming records around it has been a discouragement to them. It only takes courage to Invest on bitcoin if you're far from the knowledge or easier when trusted someone who brought about bitcoin to your knowledge. The crisis within the government over crypto centralized exchanges has also brought fear to most interested persons on bitcoin.
Op I don't understand what you expects the crypto enthusiasts to do in such cases as you said we don't care.  Are we supposed to hold hold a public convention to convince the people out there in doubt about bitcoin?
Perhaps beginners can buy bitcoin on a third party but must be assured of legitimacy. That's if you don't want to negotiate directly on the p2p exchange.

Whenever there is a new technology in town scammers always take advantage of it to get their victims, even when the banks started digital transfer of funds most people got scammed through fake transfers, so its not just a bitcoin thing.
The problem we have is people jumping onto a new trend most especially if there is a false narrative that it makes people rich like whats happening to bitcoin at the moment. People who are easily scammed are mostly those that have the intention of getting rich quick and scammers use this to get them. with a proper knowledge i don't think anyone can ever scam you in this space.

Scammers are always at alert and update to new trends so that they can always invade the system to the success of succeeding their victims. They're aware that there's always inexperienced Investors and participants in the new system so it's always easy for them to garner around and catch up with their victims on targets.
Moreover, lot of desperate quick profits chasers are indicted to always embrace any introduced projects without research commitment which leads them to the lost of their funds.

I believe Bitmart still supports P2P trading for naira. I just checked, and it seems you can use it to buy USDT, which you can then use to purchase Bitcoin and other altcoins. https://www.bitmart.com/p2p

P2P trading for Naira is perfectly working in Nigeria in Bitmart and there are some exchanges that can help some exchanges that will help to trade from Naira to USDT and buy bitcoin, it is not that difficult to buy bitcoin, it is not about investing in bitcoin, is he capable of investing in bitcoin? is he capable of holding ? He said that bitcoin have become more popular in Nigeria and people want to invest in it, but it is very important for those who want to invest to know what bitcoin means because we Nigerian are difficult to understand sometimes, some people will have interest in bitcoin because they hear about how the people use to make money when the bitcoin price rise and they don’t ask if the price use to drop or not and after investing and they didn’t see it the way they expect they will start saying some negative things about it and it will make some people who have interest on it before to not invest again, so we should try to let people understand bitcoin before investing,I didn’t mean he didn’t know what bitcoin is but sometimes we should ask so that they can learn more than what they have heard from people that introduced them to bitcoin.

Buying or selling bitcoin via p2p can never be a problem in Nigeria because there will always be a way out. No matter that we know our government is having issues with exchanges in Nigeria, no mean say some exchanges no still dey do p2p trade.

I use bitget and bybit for my Naira p2p. If I want to sell bitcoin, I sell direct and get paid in Naira, amd if I want to sell USDT same. It is only Binance and Kucoin that have delisted Naira from their exchange. Don't be scared about the banks warning because they cannot know if your transaction was from crypto. Also use online banking apps.

It is still very safe to do p2p transactions through exchanges in Nigeria, although the government is having issues with Binance and they disabled their naira p2p, also a few other exchanges did the same thing but aside from these reputable crypto exchanges, there are other exchanges that still enables naira p2p like the ones that you mentioned in these thread. Cryptocurrency has come to stay in Nigeria, and the adoption is increasing everyday, our government is aware of this glaring fact and they are accepting it that placing restrictions on exchanges can not stop crypto business in the country, so let them go ahead and regulate it to get their taxes instead of being skeptical about it. Also there is p2p transactions between two parties but which doesn't require the interference of government or any third party but you have to do it with a trusted person or escrow.
