If you have not been a victim, you will not understand.
Majority of the transactions with crypto currency can't be traced to their originating channels thereby making activities with that medium of exchange difficult for financial and security agencies to monitor.
Any country that can't boast of it's ability to control financial activities cannot boast of it's control of it's political terrain and I hope you know what that means in a long run?
Stop saying what you know nothing about. Most crypo exchanges have adopted the KYC approach. It means transactions can be traced.

Bitcoin is very, very legal in Canda. How do I know? Maybe I live there. As for China, it has the world's largest reserve of Bitcoin.

no it doesn't.....all it does is move your debt and burden your currency.....if the Naira defaults it can always be traded against the goods and services run within Nigeria.....if bitcoin defaults that debt comes on the Naira(if you traded in Naira) which will in turn weaken the Naira.....a burden you and I will have to bear through price increase in various goods and services.....it's price is based on nothing but speculation as no government backs it......even China haSea come against it......but they are developing their own which will stand as a legal tender.....when that happens what do you think will happen to bitcoin holders in their country?

All fiat currencies are inflationary in nature, true or false? Do you care to know that around 22% of the circulating USD were printed last year? Fiats are nothing but toilet tissue lol. N100 from 20 years ago, cannot buy the same thing in 2021. The only thing is that some fiats have more value than the others. Bitcoin particularly was created to address this. 0.1 bitcoin 10 years ago can buy more things in 2021 than it could buy in 2011. Oh by the way, you cannot print more bitcoin grin All bitcoin is doing is revealing the flaws of legacy financial systems. It's not the source of their problems lol. Research about disruptive technologies.

About bitcoin defaulting, I don't even know what that means, but bitcoin is usually denominated in the usd and not the naira.

Yes, no government backs it. It's money made for you and I. Bitcoin is unconfiscatable, uncensorable and uninflatable, so no government can devalue your bitcoin, seize your bitcoin or tell you not to use it. Bitcoin bans governments, governments don't ban bitcoin.

China has the biggest mining rigs in the world lol, please educate yourself oh. As at last year, 65% of the global bitcoin hash rate was concentrated in China.
Hash rate is a measure of the power of the computers linked to the Bitcoin network, which determines their ability to produce new coins.

Lol isn't it ironical that central banks around the world are planning to create their own central Bank digital currencies (CBDCs) grin?

Please do your research oh.

[s]Cryptocurrency started as a good idea until Casino speculators and Ponzi manipulators started taking advantage of the fact that the scheme is largely unregulated to cash out big time.

Cryptocurrency is now the beautiful bride of money launderers and drug racketeers. Proceeds of criminal and illegal activities running into billions of dollars are passing through the cryptocurrency schems without being detected.

International business entities and billionaires started embracing cryptocurrency in other to envade tax. Developed countries like US, Britain and China had no choice than to join the bandwagon to the detriment of the economy of poor countries. But I am sure that these countries will soon ban cryptocurrency. THE CRASH OF CRYPTOCURRENCY IS IMMINENT.

The fact is Cryptocurrency is international version of MMM. It is highly erratic and unpredictable.
Cryptocurrency will cause great damage to emerging economies like India and Nigeria.
No doubt, cryptocurrency is the currency of the future only if a new world order can be achieved[/s].

Complete Trash. The technology has moved forward and anyone who chooses to stand in its path will be crushed and left behind. Its either you join or get left behind. You don't fight against technology.

Surely there are three powerful industries in the world that have always shown there strength, if there is any thing like the free mason then they are,they are always stronger than government because they manipulate and control politicians using whatever means necessary, mind you the leaders might be elected or dictators but anyone who fights against them tends to perish and be qmong the losers. They are BANKS,BIG PHARMA(pfizer,GSK,roche) and OIL COMPANIES.

SEEMS LIKE THIS DECISIONS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE ZIONIST BANKS OF THE WORLD,i will fold my hand and see as the value of bitcoin crash to its 2008 value,BTW i really like the idea of crpto currencies and acceptance of crypto will really cause the fall of the banking industry

If it ever crash to that price, if, then many would be able to buy and see it skyrocket.

Well said smart one. Most people don't realise that most fiat currencies are toilet paper. Through what they term Fractional Reserve banking, countries just print currencies as they please. Countries have long departed the Gold-backed currency system, resulting in creeping inflation. Bitcoin is being recognized as digital gold hence it's high value.
As usual, Nigerians know nothing and instead of learning would rather politicize the issue and embarrass themselves on public forums.

It's a failed endeavour, banning only accelerates your fears as the individuals able to buy it will now inflate their p2p rates thus destabilizing your economy.

It is better to legalise it and use the methods operators use to identify and tax gains from it.. that way the country's money isn't disappearing.

Even in stocks/shares insider trading, pump and dump is a big crime, not to talk of Cryptos where most executives that ever tried are all languishing behind bars for a minimum of 10years, is it when a country invest in such any shallow brain will want to try it.
