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.
Trash,u need education on crytocurrency

government is for controlling the populace, any threat to that will be met with outright sanctions. bitcoin takes the financial power of the government on the people and give it back to the people.
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?

Cryptos will continue to be a threat to nations with weak governing structures and lean, inefficient institutions.

Musk bought a boat load and has declared it because he has no choice. He cannot hide it because of strong, multi varied institutuonal checks in the face of overwhelming risks of non disclosure.

Strengthen your institutions and the fears will ebb. I personally see a future whereby governments round the world trade in their respective curencies whike citizens conduct their lives in alternative means of exchanges. Central banks the way we know them will have to reform or die out.

The world is gradually unifying, not around governments but around the interests of various peoples and groupings, not delineated by flag but by ideology.

In future only when I want to pay taxes, levies and other government obligatiins will I buy the Naira or the Dollar or the Yuan.

There is no financial market that does not experience bubbles from time to time. The stock market has crashed numerous times. The US Housing market has crashed. The US dollar has been on the decline for almost 10 years now. Prices of commodities crash. Even the Naira which you re defending is a bubble right now. Bubbles and crashes are part of financial investing.

dollar is the number one currency for illicit trades globally. $100 bill is very difficult to trace because the Fed keeps printing paper money. On the other hand, all BTC transactions can be traced. please try and study so you dont make baseless assumptions.

Stop making senseless arguments.

Every dollar note printed today is documented because they are printed in batches. Perhaps you should ask yourself why criminals burgle commercial banks but not the central/reserved bank.

On the other hand, tech companies mine and sell Bitcoins, not minding the criminal records of these buyers. I have a Bitcoin wallet and the man who sent me the cryptos doesn't know my identity, neither does the company that maintains my wallet. For every bank account one maintains today, banks know their home addresses, phone number, next of kin, and other personal details.

In the US and elsewhere in the world, they have the fiat-currency financial records of every soul living in the country. With Bitcoin, it's not like that because the government neither mints it nor has control over it.

yes that true.....but you forget the stock market and all those other markets are based and valued on the services and goods they offer.....what exactly is bitcoin based or valued with? what do you think will happen globally when that bubble pops? I have a friend who lost his assistant out investing in bitcoin in 2018 when the process dropped below what he got it.......anyway keep investing youemail money in speculation just don't use our Naira to do it.....Bless.

Cryptos are mined using waste energy. Its not free float else we all would be mining in our backyards. If you say cryptos would put strain on the naira then what about remmittances gotten through cryptos? Or capital gains when people liquidate their cryptos? Tell CBN to stop chasing shadows and go for substance. If the naira was not free falling people would not want to buy and store money in cryptos. Since 2017 (the last BTC crash), till now by how many percent has Naira lost its value?

Go and read. Every BTC transaction is traceable. Not all Dollar bills (especially Benjamins) can be traced. Thats why that denimination is the most prefrred. The Sinoloa Cartel and other drug cartels, why didnt they keep their money in mexican pesos? I am pretty sure if you lived during the formation if Bretton Woods you would reject the change from gold to paper currency.

Okay someone has definitely been lying to you because anyone with a good enough system can mine bitcoin, I know cause I have friends who have done it but stopped in 2018 when the cost of mining became too much against its value. ......waste energy? TF is that? bitcoin mining consumes serious electricity, and produces enough carbon to be considered a threat to the environment......as for remittances and capital gains all you are doing is moving money around using bitcoin as your medium....you can't actually use it to pay for a lot of goods and services worldwide because its value is speculative and not backed by any formal government......if you want to test it take your bitcoin to Iyabasira and see if she will attend to you.....if Iyabasira is too local take it to Dufil and see how much Indomie they will give you.

Anyine with good enough system? Lol. Abegi. Miners are moving to regions with clearner energy to reduce electricity costs. Miners are pooling infrastuture tigether to reduce overhead mining costs. Incase you dont know, there are bitcoin atms and cards, plus people are even getting paid for services in bitcoin.

Yes Bitcoin is a threat and risk to every sane countries just that there are better ways of handling such sensitive issue rather than ouright ban!!

They should have just called on the major stakeholders and players in the market for meeting and device a progressive template to regulate it!!

Any business you can't control physically is as dangerous as anything and it can send some people to early grave if care is not taken!!!

Apart from that, it contribute more to money laundering, shady deals, national security through financing, crimes and devaluation of naira!!!!

Above all,
Regulating it would be a better option than the outright ban from the clueless CBN because alot of Nigerians get the earnings and living through this Bitcoin including me atyms and some of my friends!!!!
