We all no that BTC and crypto is illegal in our country,

Bitcoin no dey illegal for dis country ooo, if government see bitcoin for your wallet dey no go talk anything but make sure say bitcoin transactions no dey connected to your bank account, na central bank of Nigeria direct all commercial banks make dem ban accounts wey dey linked to crypto transactions, but if anybody see bitcoin for your wallet e no mean say you don do anything bad.

but d government came too late to stop us not to have access to BTC or crypto in d land, and many youths in d country has discovered so many positive things that can help d government to reduce unemployment and also reduce bank stress in the country, if dey will allow BTC or crypto users in some political office.

Plenty politicians get bitcoin for their wallet now but you no go just know, most of them get people wey dey manage their crypto portfolio for them and they go dey pay d person, dey get dis former senator for kogi state wey dey commot for governor now (senator Deno melaye) him don talk am for public before say him dey into cryptocurrency and him dey make nonsense money for cryptocurrency.

my question is this, can BTC or crypto users play politics in Nigeria by coming out for councilor or other political office and he or she is well know as BTC or crypto users? I see some of our crypto and BTC users here, and dey have the knowledge to function in some political office if such opportunity is be offer or aquire by money or influence.
What is your opinion.

Why not anybody can contest for any political party now nobody go stop you, and I dey sure say most of the young guys wey dey join politics now dey into cryptocurrency, if you dey into bitcoin and you get your money wey u go spend if you wan commot for post, then nobody go stop you now.

There's nothing bad in having a combination of more than one source of income as profession, being a politician, you can decided to also be a cryptopreneur as long as you can be able to cope with the combination of them all and none is being affected for each other, you also have to consider the requirements of being a politician and the conditions attached, the government policies and regulations in this, and how people have been seen this as an enabling achievement they can go about doing to make a living in that same environment you lived in.

In Nigeria, things goes easily underground, because these popular politicians have bitcoin in their wallets and they're not the ones control it themselves, rather a third party is there to foreseen the entire operation and take full responsibility for every single trades. Ofcourse the standard of been a crypto investor and also a politician, although it depends on the laws in that particular country in question, because not all country permits the regulation of crypto activities, it remained banned and if a politician got caught up in all of this, he might lose his position as governmental body, that doesn't sound right.

If crypto e dey illogical in di country y we dey use freely without any form threat. Abi na me never know saw e dey illogical?

E be like say u no no say our police and EFCC men dey arrest BTC or crypto users in Nigeria, d other day one of our brother carry cry come here, how EFCC arrested him on his way to Jos to one of his friend wedding and collected#200k from him. D place I dey for Naija, if EFCC or police see BTC or crypto in your wallet u will regret why u come show yourself in that area because, they will tell u if u don't know that government has banned BTC and crypto in the country, because if it is legal in Nigeria EFCC and police will not arrest u.

If you tell some people sae you go give Dem Bitcoin if Dem vote for you, Dem no go mind you oo, instead Dem go vote for your opponent wey go give am naira note. So removed Bitcoin from Nigeria politics for now. But you can only sae u go adopt Bitcoin in you jurisdiction.

Many people in our country are used to BTC bro, and if u add BTC,crypto fiat and economy improvement in your manifesto in Nigeria politics, u will win that election clear and u will use that opportunity to educate more people on BTC and crypto. Do u no dat many BTC users and crypto users campaign for this current president because he use Blockchain technology, BTC and crypto to campaign.

What is your opinion.

Btc might be illegal in our country like you said but that shouldn't stop crypto users to participate in politics or aspire for political positions, contesting for a position is a thing of choice and no true citizen is deprived of such so far you meet up the requirements for such position and have the support and funds to pursue your aspiration. However there are many crypto whales capable of challenging most of the high ranking politicians for their office and money won't be an issues to them cause the have lots of funds stored in cryptocurrencies.

However asides from the high level of corruption in our government Nigeria @ 62 have gone beyond that stage where politician with greater wealth stand a high chance of winning, we've failed to practice the Democratic system of government of the people for the peope and by the people and gone to a point where democracy is now for the rich alone where, the rich use their wealth to pay and bribe their way into government positions just to loot the nations treasury and make themselves richer, a time shall come when the sons of a nobody would become somebody and hold high positions in the government sector, that's what we all hope for, only time will tell.

For now, since CBN has tagged Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency activities as illegal, we have no choice but to wait for Federal government considerations since the current president promised us good news about Bitcoin and blockchain technology during his campaign, but if he does as others have done by failing his promises, then that’s when the youth will plan on taking some positions because I am sure we have youths here that love politics.

Taking some lower positions in politics will not be enough to change any process or bring in Bitcoin, but it will surely increase the awareness and the adoption in our locality.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not banned by our government, only CBN ban cryptocurrencies.

As time goes on, there will definitely be some crypto users that would hold public offices in Nigeria. Everything will happen naturally like evolution.
