Author : fillipponeSometimes I dey see my self for places where I go answer this question:
"I hear about this Bitcoin stuff, how I fit take buy am?"

To know one of this field dem no only dey hard, but e also dey bias ur explanation, and e fit scatter the whole explaining. (If I know plenty things about cryptography, I go use am to finish work for this side, but e nor dey 100% say e go trigger my counter part
