Keep Spirituality Out Of Crypto and Focus on Knowledge, Not Prayers.

[adultcrypto]

I know that most things in Nigeria is meant to take spiritual dimension in Nigeria since we are a very religious nation. We all know that there is a close connection between poverty and religion which is the reason religion is usually used to replace common sense in a country where majority of the people are poor and are busy praying to God to come and end their poverty when God already gave us crude oil, natural gas, abundant mineral resources and arable lands for mechanized agriculture.

How will someone invest in shitcoin and expect God to do miracles? How can someone ignore the principles of responsible investing and expect to succeed as a bitcoin investor? Common sense is what we need to disconnect religion from certain things so we don't end up transferring our responsibilities to God who already gave us brain, spirit of discernment and many things we need to succeed in life.

This is due to superstition or temptation. We cannot pray by investing in a project where the possibility of loss seems high. If profits increased depending on prayers or God responded to the prayers of traders or traders, then maybe we would not see any failed businessmen or traders. From my point of view, traders pray to God the most so that the market works in their favor.

You cannot make profits by praying to God or by blowing on false prophets in crypto investment. Your research and your knowledge will sustain you in the crypto market. Especially in Bitcoin investment. Even if you take the wrong steps and pray thousands of Tahajjud prayers, it may not be effective. Because the result of mistakes is natural to be negative.

Well if I may say even in the Bible it is said that faith without work is dead. Unfortunately I believe there are pastors that are even introducing shit coins and making their members invest, all in the name of God.
​But then there is nothing bad in praying to God for directions because I believe God only helps those who help themselves. Even if you say God has nothing to do with crypto yes, He doesn't. But then there are some difficult times when you just become confused as an investor. I believe that when you pray and work hard that's just it. Nothing comes for free, but then hard work , consistency and faith in God in your crypto investment to me is always the key to financial success.​That's why if you go to most churches especially those Christians that rely on their pastors for prayer without work majority of them are financially poor. Why? Because they refuse to work and after, they will say God isn't answering their prayer. Well, overall we should learn to know the difference between relying solely on prayer and working hard for our prayers as a cryto investors. That's all, bro

Prayers and fasting won't help people succeed in crypto investment because crypto investment isn't a spiritual problem, and people shouldn't just wake up one morning and start investing in assets they know nothing about and expect prayers and fasting to help them succeed. Crypto investment is like a battlefield; we have whales who are controlling the market to favor them, so if anyone wants to succeed in crypto investment, that person needs knowledge to achieve that.

Correct, though there is nothing that prayer cannot do but that doesn’t mean that people won’t do their part, because in this life, there are some things that need to be done by ourselves.
Just like the saying that goes by “ Heaven help those who help themselves “, you haven’t helped yourself and you are expecting Heaven to help you, which doesn’t work like that. You have to show your effort, that is you have to try your best and leave the rest for you.
The same thing goes with crypto, you don’t expect to start benefiting from crypto when you don’t have any idea about it, that is why it’s always advised to know the basic things about crypto before one can start invest in it.

As a beginner who develope strong passion to invest in cryptocurrency, there are prerequisite knowledge about cryptocurrency which you need to acquire as a guide in your journey in cryptocurrency investment. Being successful in cryptocurrency investment you need a continuous learning in order to stay inform and updated about the trends and dynamics of cryptocurrency.

How prayerful or spiritually inclined you are, can not determine how successful you will be as an investor in cryptocurrency. Prayer can not change the market condition, it can not make a wrong decision to become right, it can not also make careless or reckless risk to become a calculated risk. All you need to survive in cryptocurrency investment is having the required knowledge and skills about cryptocurrency.

There are basic knowledge and skills which are relevant in I cryptocurrency a beginner need to possess before investing in cryptocurrency.
1. Financial literacy; you should how to manage and grow money.
2. Wallet and security knowledge; You need to know how a wallet functions, the kind of wallet you need to store your crypto.
3. Strong research skills; be good at making findings about cryptocurrency.
4. Knowledge of market cycles; you need to know how the market runs.
5. Risk management; Know how to take calculated risk when investing.
6. Emotional control; Learn not to act based on emotion.
7. Scam detection skills; Be able to know and identify a project that is a scam.

As a Christian I pray not because I'm avoiding hard work and I don't believe that prayer alone will bring me millions of dollars from no where but I pray because it is very important to put God first and hand everything you do over to him while you on your own are working hard in line with determination and consistency. Praying is believing in God for a miracle but I also understand as a Christian that faith or prayer without work is a waste of time because manna doesn't fall from heaven in this our present generation but regardless you still need to pray to God for guidance and wisdom to apply while investing in Bitcoin, I don't pray to fold my hands doing nothing but I pray for wisdom and encouragement from my creator so prayer will never depart from my mouth.

[Doan9269]

Am also surprised the way I saw a thread in the gambling section of the forum recently, talking about praying to help win a bet, how possible to use prayer win a bet in gambling, now coming to this as well, if we are in cryptocurrency, then this is not about prayers, it's about learning, we can't pray where we need to learn, it cannot work that way, because there are procedures in doing things in life. When it comes to activities like gambling or cryptocurrency, it must be based on what we have been taught and how we understand the associated risks involved.

[Zackz5000]

I pity anyone who is doing prayers and fasting in the name of crypto currency because these things don't work that way. This part of the word and spirituality is just something else. If prayer and fasting fixes things that responds to demands and supply, Nigeria economy would have been the best economy in the world because the kind of prayers that are made for our economy every day, no other economy is being prayed for like that.

Anyone going into crypto currency should just know that it is your smartness, calculations and diligence that will make them outstanding.

Cryptocurrency investment and prayer has nothing in common if prayers work in crypto the price of Bitcoin wouldn't dip but keeping rising for people to make gain, if you are sick and pray with faith you might be heal miraculously these are situations that prayers work and not in cryptocurrency, gambling or football, don't work and then keep praying for food to come from above if it will come so mk we no come dey deceived our self say praying dey work for crypto na big lie nothing like that invest with what you can loss and hope for Bitcoin to grow that all.

Crypto is a technical and economic system, not a spiritual one.The systems do not respond to faith or prayers.This does not also mean spirituality is wrong,it means crypto is the wrong place to practice it.It shows that crypto doesn't reward beliefs but understanding, knowledge,skills and expertise.Instead of practicing risk management, you'll say   "God will do it" or “I trust the vision my pastor told me”
Unfortunately,this mindset doesn’t make you virtuous,It only makes you vulnerable to risks, losses and regrets.Do research,manage risk and learn the system.Crypto reward those who understand how they work and punish those who outsource thinking to belief.Its a call for  knowledge upgrade.

[Asiska02]

Growing up in a family of country that are very religious and use prayers as the base point of everything will really make many think that by only praying, they can get to achieve success in crypto not minding the efforts they’re suppose to put into making things work for them as it should. No one is saying praying is not good for success, but totally relying on it and not even making an attempt to put in the hardwork of learning and relearning, then it makes it not a very good approach in crypto and will lead to failing woefully in the crypto journey. Bringing the two on board will help and putting more emphasis on the learning will help your bitcoin journey and the success you aim to achieve in the long run.

Nigerians are the most religious people in the world but with all that they are not as productive as others that are into crypto currency in other countries, prayer isn't a short cut to success, it is actually a way to strengthen your relationship with God and not something that can help you to avoid losses or change the course of the market...cryptocurrency gives you thr results of the input you make into it

[ArabBTC]

Nigerians amaze me at times, what relationship has spirituality got to do with bitcoin trading and business in general, is it everything they must link to prayer and spirituality, God has blessed everyone so no need bringing unnecessary sentiments to business, it’s even recorded that any man diligent in his craft will stand before kings and not mere men. And the only way to build skill is by dedication, precision and hardwork not prayers.

People should go for knowledge about their business and not moving from church to church in search prayers, prayers can help in some things but not when one have refused to go for knowledge about his business and he will be seeking for miracles, things don’t work that way, it’s only in Africa u mostly see such even the white people that brought Christianity to us are researches who built their country with years of hardwork and not faith, so please if you must trade bitcoin ensure you meet a reliable friend or institute that will train you about everything thing you need to know first so you don’t end up banking on faith.

If a foreigner come to Nigeria they would think that it was Nigeria the origin of Christianity come from because they take it to different level, the amount of churches we have could accommodate more the all the people in the country and some Christians believes that there is nothing prayers cannot solve that's why when you are in the neighborhood with such Christians they will always go to prayers when someone has fallen seriously ill, but after the time they will pray  and the sickness keeps getting serious that's when they will take the person to the hospital, I belief in God with faith to heal the sick but our people always see evil forces to be behind everything making them to misconcept a natural sickness to be cause by spiritual.

This is so true and i wonder why more churches are still being registered at the Corporate Affairs Commission and this is why many churches have different doctrines. At every corner you see churches but the westerners that brought Christianity to us have just few churches. However, it's not everything that we should pray about. Prayer is spiritual and if one must pray let it be on a supernatural note. It is even better to leave anything pertaining money out of religion because humans are the ones who made these money so every application of it should be followed with natural knowledge on how to guide and protect it rather than believing in some prophetic declarations by pastors.

[Mate2237]

Unfortunately the Nigerian environment that, we find ourselves is a religious environment and most people are always moved by religious sentiment. So it important that we distance ourselves with spirituality when it comes to crypto currency and anything that has to do with investment even if it's not crypto related. The fact has always remained that, wealth has never been created by religion and anyone who uses his religious sense in investing will encounter problems because religion teaches against sound knowledge. As it discourage people to study and find out the fact about a matter.



Anyone who tries to bring in religion into crypto currency can't effectively invest in crypto because investing in crypto currency implies that you take out time to do a background check on the concept of crypto currency. How you can benefit from it and the rules guiding crypto as a whole.

[Halifat]

One thing that is common about Nigerians is the fact that they love praying so much about everything... It is not bad in itself.. it is very good to commit all your endeavors in the hand of your creator but the downside is that you shouldn't do it without putting in work and expect a result
No matter the amount of prayer given, if you are lazy, if you do not study and if you do not have the right knowledge, nothing will work for you not even crypto. God will not come and chart the charts because if you neither will he change the price of Bitcoin just because you prayed.. Nigerians should learn how to be accountable and put in work even while praying

I quite agree with all what you have said, prayer without effort is useless. For example you are in your room praying to Almighty God to give you money and let's be honest if you are there and you started seeing money definitely you will run away. Have something doing then you pray, then your prayer will be answered. This is also the same way in cryptocurrency normally you have to pray but to be honest you will no go ahead and invest in any rubbish coin, you really have to make sure that the coin has potential, which many people have discuss about it and you are convinced that it will definitely heal you profit, praying at this point is not something bad because you have tried your best and what Almighty Allah want is to put little efforts which you already did by making research on your particular coin.

[Progress101]

To be honest it is just funny if you think about it, cause tell me why someone will prefer to pray over the market than to study it and in the hopes it will favour him because he prayed first. Even in the Bible, it did say "Study to show yourself approved" (hope I got that right) but really choosing to just pray over doing the actual work that is required for your outcome is self destructive at least that's how I see it.

It is genuinely sad when you come across people like that really because you can't convince them otherwise, you will just be seen as being against thier "religion".

Let's not forget that spirituality or religion isn't just Christianity alone. There are other religions and spiritual beliefs that people put their faith in.
Still, it is important to note that same life principles of earning and wealth applies to all. All work and no pray makes one a less luckier opportuinistic investor and all pray and no work or effort makes a potential investor poorer than they were yesterday.

Nor be d same kontry wey e bi sey even before dem start any govment function dem go call for prayers? Wetin we dey expect make citizens begin do. Shebi na from d people dem dey take form govment? We nor supposed expect anything wey dey different. Naija, we be people wey dey do religion religion but God nor too dey awa heart like dat. All na lips service we dey do.

Awa people supposed know sey nothing concern business wit prayer, whether cryptos or otherwise. Prayer na spiritual exercise while business goes with principles and knowledge of d business. I dey see people wey dey pray in front of dem shops before dem even open shop to sell market. All na eye service. D real prayer supposed be for ur house before u leave for d day, nor be Infront of ur shop or office. Distance nor be barrier for God if Him dey interested in d matta.

We too dey believe sey in everything we must drag religion or God inside am. Na dis same kontry wey pastors dem dey commit atrocities upandan. Shebi na Chris Okafor and Doris Ogala matta dey ground as we dey yarn so. Pastor wey dey bala anyhow.

Most people for this crypto space just dy funny, I swr.
Why would a right thinking person be praying instead of seeking knowledge and doing research on what and what or how  to navigate his or her way easily in the space?
Their are rules to everything in this life, including in the spiritual realm, and that is why the Bible says that faith without work is dead.
You can't just invest or trade blindly and start praying and believe that everything will just falls into place, or is the other people that loses money worshipping Satan?
Am not saying that prayers or being spiritual is bad, what am trying to say is that you can't replace work with prayers, and prayers with works, they both have their importance and the role they play in our lives, so attaining knowledge and doing a proper research is what an investor should focus more on than praying, because at that point, he is doing the right thing, the wrong time.
