Not legal tender =/= illegal. Important distinction.

Gold is not legal tender. Shares in equity is not legal tender. Nor is wheat, corn, derivatives, etc. But they are all financial instruments or commodities nonetheless and absolutely no one says that they are illegal. Legal tender simply means that you can't be legally held liable if you settle a debt, public or private, with this piece of currency.

Don't get misled by headings or sensationalist reporting.

What people don't understand simply is that what the CBN has just done is to absolve itself from any responsibility that might arise as a result of losses for someone who might invest or want to invest in crypto currency. The reason being that, when the cast is fully blown or someone makes some mistakes thereby losing investment values we are quick to look for someone to blame and in this case, the accusing finger is pointed to the regulatory authority in financial matters and if not managed properly might lead to Senate inquiry which would embarrass everybody, so the release is getting ahead of such situations and put it to rest. Its as simple as that.

Actually the thing is people already do take care about everything over the web still they do need some extra protection from government because sometimes there could be scams beyond your control or despite of your diligence. Such a stance of Nigerian Government is stopping a lot of people to enter in the cryptocurrencies but they are pretty correct on it because reality is most of the people will rush towards their banks if some scam happens and bank would never be able to trace it because the money is going somewhere beyond their control. Infact this is why people are still afraid of entering into crypto because they cannot held anyone accountable for anything that happens to them. Almost all banks have issued such circulars from time to time.


Crypto world is like signing  a  death warrant ,immediately you enter you are on your own,  the Government cannot save you, there are so many mistakes on blockchain, heard so many people receiving huge bitcoin to their wallet by mistake, the funniest thing is that you can't retrieve it,  unless a good Samaritan return them back to you, i misplaced my Steller wallet key with potential token in it I could not retrieve till date.

Such a stand is general and normal for other countries who have not adopted bitcoin usage or crypto into their system. Obviously, the government would always be making such statement and clarifying their position on it, at least; we know of China.

For losing your stellar pass code, well sorry about that. Crypto is business for a very careful mind. And this is why every address to a coin is usually specified for the user to verify before transacting. Anyway, I don't wish to experience that.

When did Nigeria government start to care about the welfare of her citizens. The unnecessary deduction from banks have the CBN put a stop to it? Crypto shouldn't be their major concern now cos it's only few thousand of her citizens that knows about crypto. The awareness of crypto haven't circulate that much in Nigeria

So you think your Gov is protecting you and crypto is killing you?

why you are blaming blockchain? It's your mistake that you have misplaced your Steller wallet key with potential token.

Legal or not, Nigeria is slowly becoming a hub for crypto scammers, Nigerian SEC warns about iBSmartify investment. So we really need to be careful specially those programs like those, who are promising huge returns. Those warnings from Nigerian SEC should be enough for our fellow Nigerian crypto enthusiast to used their "logical thinking" as not to fall for this trick.

Crypto world is like signing  a  death warrant ,immediately you enter you are on your own,  the Government cannot save you, there are so many mistakes on blockchain, heard so many people receiving huge bitcoin to their wallet by mistake, the funniest thing is that you can't retrieve it,  unless a good Samaritan return them back to you, i misplaced my Steller wallet key with potential token in it I could not retrieve till date.

And hopefully this was made clear to you when you got rolling. Many wallets won't let you proceed any further until you've proven that you've backed them up. It's the early days still and that's just how it is.

I've always been aware of it and have always planned accordingly.

These central bank 'warnings' usually seem to be taken as some sort of attack by many crypto fans. In truth they're the facts and they're just raising awareness of what can happen.

I've learnt my lessons I don't longer save my keys in my phone memory sometimes I misplaced phone, all my keys are saved online for quick and secured platform.

Thanks
A close friend of mine did the same mistake, by storing his private keys in his phone. He nearly got mad when he lost his phone cos he got much altcoin in his wallet.
You guys learnt your lesson about crypto in a terrible way. Anyway welcome to cryptosphere where everything is meant to be safe, confidential and private

Some fake exchanges spoiling the name of cryptocurrency all the time.The same had happened in Nigeria too.Instead of banning the cryptocurrency,Nigeria government can legalized the cryptocurrency and monitor the exchanges .They can help the people for the investment and welfare of the people.And private key is important one in trading of crypto currency.

The announcement of Digital currency, not legal tender in Nigeria by CBN was made around January 2017. Ever since then have the CBN notify her citizens again about the legal tender of cryptocurrency? Cos this is my first time of hearing such news.
Although the majority of Nigerians don't have the vast awareness of how crypto works anyway.
