We are delighted to have you here. I went through your post history and noticed that you are following the forum rules, which is the most important thing to do if you are going to remain here for a long time. I also saw that 33% of your posts are in Politics and Society, which leads me to believe that you are really interested in politics. Lol. That board is full of people who don't care about the merit system, so putting more emphasis on it would hold you down, unless you don't care about ranking higher.

We are always available to assist you and guide you through the world of bitcoin if you have any questions, and secondly, always do business with a reputable member of this board, never trust anyone, and always DYOR.

Regulation of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

I am taking this as fun to know people's opinion about cryptocurrencies in Nigeria, weather it should be regulated or not. CBN do not look for ways to make the government to benefit from crypto transactions by regulating it, instead, they just like to follow China and come up with anti-bitcoin criticism which is not exceptional in fiat as fiat are mostly used in illegal activities out of all the money existing today.

If cryptocurrencies are regulated, the government may draw out means of tax deduction which all the centralized cryptocurrency exchanges will have no option than to comply with, it can even get to the extent of Nigeria demanding for each exchanges to have a branch in Nigeria in a way the government will look for more ways for the exchanges to have no option than to comply.

Cryptocurrencies are not regulated in Nigria, the CBN banned crypto transactions which is deemed and actually an implicit ban. The government are not benefiting from crypto tax and we Nigerians see that as a benefit. But, if we check the other side, the CBN ban had gone far to the extent that make some Nigerians not to make use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, there could have been many rise of crypto organizations in Nigeria, there could have more crypto industry development in Nigeria which can be impactful to our economy, but the ban is making all these progress not possible.

With the pros and cons of crypto regulation, will you go for the government to totally be friendly with cryptocurrencies so that it will later be regulated or you are fine with this recent implicit ban?

The present administration is full of comedians who don't know the difference between crypto and forex. Even the so called "ban" on cryptocurrency isn't effective, Nigeria can give laws easily but find it difficult to execute them. There are advertisement of crypto exchanges all over TV, radio e.t.c we know Nigerian Tv media houses are censored and mindful of government laws. If cryptocurrencies was really banned, there wouldn't be adverts of binance, Patricia e.tc. The "ban" IMO hasn't  affected the crypto industry in Nigeria, if anything it has made more people aware of cryptocurrency.

Regulation of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are classified as assets by the IRS, so you must pay capital gains tax on every transaction you make, and with the number of active Nigerians on crypto exchanges, the Nigerian government would have benefited more if there was no ban on crypto, but rather a tax on every transaction made by Nigerians on centralized exchanges, there are millions of crypto transactions going on in Nigeria daily, imagine how much the go is worth. They have been following the lead of the US for a long time, so why should the CBN follow China on something that would have benefited them more? Is it that they do not care about financial profits as long as they are causing pains and difficulties to her citizens?

When you have ancient people in government there is always set back. Well like it or not we are still paying tax on our transactions and these capital gain taxes ain't going to the Nigerian government so where is it going to?

Even though CBN banned crypo transactions in Nigeria, the transactions are still ongoing even with the leaders of the country taking the lead in such transactions. they claimed it is banned yet advert for learning and trading of crypo is seen in all hook and cranny of the country without been checkmated and the advertizer prosecuted.
For me I think our government have to go back to understand what cryptocurrencies actually are which are virtual currencies that can be exchanged online to purchase goods and services, and the value of legal tender currencies does not determine the value. They also need to understand and have it in mind that there is a lot of innovation in the world today which cryptocurrency is part of it and become totally friendly with it.

for everything, there always will be pros and cons, and IMO, the Nigerian government acted from a stand point of ignorance and wickedness...the fact that crypto transactions are still ongoing in the country is unexpected to them, as mostly the implicit ban was meant to suffocate crypto activities. Let us continue doing things undercover like this until a better government comes in with fresh minds, because if they decide to get monetary benefits from crypto transactions in the country, the funds accumulated has a high probability of being embezzled, so e nor get use for now.

My brother na this one deh confuse me the more I try to reason the matter. How you go claim say you ban something and begin freeze accounts of people weh you suspect engage in crypto activities but still allow crypto adverts on radios and tv. And even allow them bring cryptocurrency analysts online to come give analysis. I no deh understand our government and their policies sometimes like that. Na real comedians full this government, according to you and I agree.
E be like the current one weh deh happen na say government don begin go after online loan banks as them call am. Some of them were arrested and shut down yesterday, abi how many of us here see this gist?

Ideal society taxation of cryptocurrency transactions is a good move toward revenue generation for the government, but in 9ja's case, it will become an avenue for looters to steal the collective resources of the taxpayers' money. I even like the way our government dey go even if they ban cryptocurrency or not them no fit stop people from using it just as we dey do now. Make them no collect from money were them no give us oooo, people dey trade in commodity were no get any attachment to 9ja economy so if government wan tax us aside bank charges baba the tax regime is not proper according to political-economic

The way cryptocurrency topic is being handled by FG is confusing. I can’t say Nigeria is anti crypto or pro crypto. Election is around the corner we will hear their campaign promises.

E be like the current one weh deh happen na say government don begin go after online loan banks as them call am. Some of them were arrested and shut down yesterday, abi how many of us here see this gist?

To collect loan for bank na big wahala you go bring document upon documents them no go still give you the loan. Micro finance bank way suppose dey help small scale business no dey look uche face. Nigerians na intelligent people, people way get business iq see the headache banks dey give customers nai make them set up these loan apps. From nowhere government won shut them down forgetting say many of these companies na Nigerian based companies and we dey use am see front. Very soon fg go attack online banks

Make we talk true small sef, this loan app people no be am for anything. The way them deh take harass loan defaulters and the contacts on their phones no good. Another thing be say those people no deh let the time reach before them begin scream. I read somewhere say the period for loan to expire na 60 days according to one of the mandates weh google give them before allowing their apps on playstore. But just one week this people don begin scream and disturb their customers and expose contacts on their list. Too bad.
