I been sit down they think one of the things wey I see say he done happen to naija na the adoption of bitcoin because even people wey they government work them they do bitcoin even politicians I they sure say them to they do bitcoin. I believe say them know the value of the thing na why them no wan gree leave and why I talk so be say even with all this p2p wahala government no wan gree ban bitcoin I believe say them know waiting they at stake. Bitcoin na multi billion dollars investment so make them ban am no really make sense. And if them do mistake ban all the p2p them go lose total control of dollar to naira na why I they always think say who they advise all this government officials.

As we they do crypto the matter get challenges because people go think say you they actually do fraud and waiting they vex they vex me even police and society so a lot of challenges in fact even sometimes our own people no they wan believe in us. Because people that are into crypto have similar characteristics of always wanting to stay in doors. And mind their business but people for society go turn the matter to another the thing.  The thing wey they funny me but I no blame them na because they no get orientation of waiting they happen. Crypto is a know world wide fact.

Yes normally one's source of wealth and income is supposed to be no man's business considering the fact that you are doing it legitimately and putting food on your table but however, considering the environment we found ourselves such that when people don't know any physical jobs you do in order to earn a living they start raising suspicion of which sometimes they can even conclude you are a fraudster more especially when you lock yourself up most times in your house but yet you are doing perfectly alright, you know the society we are now or in this part of the world, people believes that any legit business one is doing must be physical for all to see so that no one questions your source of wealth so in a scenario whereby due to the fact that people that lives around someone that does internet stuffs sees him as a fraudster and reports him to the financial crime agencies and some government forces, what can you say in such situations?

It isn't necessary telling people that you are a Bitcoiner, different people with different way of interpretations, some may think about it in a way negative way while some might think about it in a positive way, it is best we trade with causion so as not to be consider as being internet frusters as Bitcoin investment has to do with the internet just as you have stated it clearly and also considering the fact that there also those who tend be against the Idea of Bitcoin and you never can tell the kind of person you might talking to about Bitcoin which can be very risky and insecure, I will say that let your achievements in Bitcoin speak for itself other than telling people that you are a Bitcoiner.

Yes I can tell people that I am a bitcoiner and a proud one for that. My Conscience will blame me if I don't tell my family and friends about this forum and how they can benefit from it. I know how much I benefited from this forum,I have learned so much about Cryptocurrency and how I can benefit from it and I am proud to learn from the wise and tap from their wisdom.

I know most bitcoiners are Scared of telling people about this forum and how they are earning from it.  witches and wizards and their superstitious powers doesn't have power over your source of income because you're the Architect of your destiny. I believe the best way to help a brother is to introduce him to this forum,guide him to grow in knowledge so that he can succeed and  start earning from it. The Best services to humanity is to pull your brother from poverty by showing him the way to success.

Yes,we go fit tell people say we be bitcoiners,because it is legalise and no be fraud wey dey do,many of the yahoo boys wey u dey see as yahoo,some of dem are bitcoiners and I don't see any reason why a bitcoiner will b ashamed of telling people or letting the world know dat he is into a legit and sincere business,permit me to say dis there are lots of famous celebrities out there dat are into Bitcoin,so I don't see any reason been ashamed of announcing urself as a proud member of d Bitcointalk forum,there are somethings u don't hide or try to be shy of,this Bitcointalk to me can be publicly announced to get more members to the forum to expand the community,so if u b bitcoiner out there b proud of letting people know about bitcointalk.

I think that people who are privileged to earn from signature campaigns in this forum should be careful about how they announce it that they make money by Bitcoin interactions in a forum, many people will not believe it, and they might start to secretly investigating you, it is better to say that you are an crypto investor or trader. It is more better to earn in the forum and invest it in a business that people can see or use it to establish your skill that people will identify with. People expect to see you working like a horse before they will agree that you are doing something, when they understand that you make money without breaking physical sweat, they will become jealous if you, so we need to be careful about people that we tell how we make all our money.

I don't know about you or ho life was for you before getting to know about the forum but as for me, I think as doing great before I got into the forum and the forum is been a part of a whole right now and am grateful for tall the exposure and benefits.

Nevertheless, there are things that you don't have to make known to people even with how close they are with you, you don't need reveal a thing to them to justify yourself. Your source of income is no one's business, have that stick to your head.

If you ask me I will say it is a bad idea to be telling people that you Bitcoiner, what are you trying to prove by telling people about the way you get money? Or you just want to do what we call over sabi ? Well anybody that wants to let people know where he or she is getting money from is on their own but for me it’s a bad idea because not everybody that are happy with what you have and not everybody are happy with your success and you want to tell people that you are Bitcoiner, to be honest you are trying to put yourself in a problem that you don’t know the end of it.

From the first day you tell one person that this is the place where you get your money from he will start asking you to help him and you don’t have a choice than to help him because if you refuse he will be the first person to become your enemy and some friends are not good people immediately after you show him he will go and spread the news everywhere and gradually many people will start pressuring you that they want you to show them way to make money and from their many of them are your enemies that want to see your downfall will have the opportunity to hurt you, so remember that is not everyone that is smiling with you are happy with you.

Op didn't see the reason why will should be going about telling people that we are Bitcoiners for me I think is not necessary because no how wey you go fit convince them say na legit work wey you dey do because almost everybody wey no know about Bitcoin dey always get this Low mentality say everybody wey dey do online work say na yahoo business wey Dem dey do forgetting say apart from yahoo their are some many ways to make cool money online with our phone.

Not at all, I only replied to your post based on the content. I differentiated between Bitcoiners (those who earn through Bitcoin) and Bitcointalkers (those who participate in Bitcointalk and eventually earn from it). It's clear, you never mentioned Bitcoin earnings in your post but the forum earnings.

Yes of course! I deal with cryptocurrency and I am so proud of it. There are still cryptocurrency establishments and businesses in the country, what has the government done to them? Let them anger people more than this so that people will start protesting and suing them. What is happening in the country is the case of a confused government giving polices and instructions that are conflicting, those guys are just dullards chasing shadows.

You know what, the Nigerian government and even the CBN have never banned or even restricted cryptocurrency activities directly (you can earn, hold, trade, stake etc. your crypto), but they are forcing banks (which will never sincerely comply since they have their loopholes) not to have anything doing with digital assets (be it USD, crypto and whatever is virtually exchanged for the NGN). They are desperately doing this to try to stabilise the Naira, but forgetting that that was never the cause of the woe of the national currency but poor policies, bad economic management and lack of FX inflow.

Since I do not steal, heck yeah, I will tell it even to the face of President Tinubu that I earn through crypto if he wants to know. We'll meet in court if they harass me. The government are only giving instructions to scare people, no law whatsoever is backing them if that is what you want to know.

Absolutely yes, If Bitcoin has positively impacted your life and you are proud of being a part of the Bitcoin community, there is no reason why you shouldn't share that with others. It is understandable that some people may have misconceptions about online earnings but you can always explain to them how Bitcoin works and the legitimate ways you have been able to earn income through signature campaigns and other opportunities. By sharing your own genuine experiences and the positive changes it has brought to your life, you can help dispel any misconceptions and show that being a Bitcoiner is about legitimate work and financial empowerment.

In other words are trying to say that those who engage in Bitcoin activities doesn't get benefits attached to it like earning? Be it in the forum or not, anyone who engages in anything concerning Bitcoin are earning from it even if you are a hodler because a day shall come when you will want to sell part of the proceeds gotten from your Bitcoin investment so I don't think the term 'bitcoiners' I used is wrong However there are Bitcoiners that even earns more than those in the forum and even in the forum we just get paid in Bitcoin because of the signatures campaign we are representing not actually that we are taking path in the development process but because as we are promoting the various signature campaigns we are also promoting Bitcoin and the need for it's adoption as well but if you can still enlighten me more concerning that I'll welcome it.

Now saying that what any marketing business that one is doing they should be proud of broadcasting it to others without fear of what people would say, what of in this current situation that the government is frowning at anyone involved in crypto activities even to the extent of instructing FINTECH banking system not to allow their customers to perform crypto transactions in their platforms? Can you still confidently announce that you are into Bitcoin or cryptocurrency?

I think you are getting it all wrong from the beginning as regards the term used. Judging by what you narrated, you are referring to Bitcointaker and not Bitcoiner. Bitcoiners are those who are engaging in Bitcoin, and even if you are engaging in Bitcoin but still silent about it in this context, but instead refer to the forum itself as your source of income, then you are a Bitcointaker in my opinion.

Regardless, let anyone think whatever they want to think about you, so far you are earning through legitimate means, continue to do you and let your conscience do the rest. I expect anyone earning here (even if that's their only source of income) to be proud of it as they are Markerters. The last time I checked, marketing job is a very good job no matter how little you earn from it.

Anyone who is not satisfied with it should find you a better job or keep shut. Case closed!

You are absolutely correct, although most of our parents don't really care about our we make our money, as far as we are giving them money each time they ask, they are satisfied with that, instead they will pray for us, not to lack whether negatively or positively, so if our parents are already okay with us, why explaining to other people that can't even help us or add value to us, least I forget, not even everyone are okay with us, some are asking to really know what we do like village people etc. That is why it's better for us to lay low, not to show off.

It's best to remain silent and let them assume what's on your mind so that anyone who gets closer to you can learn. As they say in life, mind your own business. Even if you show them the platform where you get money from, some people won't believe you.

op being proud of your job as a bitcoiner on the bases that it is legit is ot bad, but revealing ur earnings is where the risk lies, to the best of my knowledge all that is required of this forum is knowledge and commitment mostly Bitcoin related, so I will advice critically watch and examine who you tell or show your proud, first someone who can not read and write eloquently has no business here, and even if you do, and they could not rank up, this set of people will easily give you names like, yahoo boy, scammer and all sort of names, great minds thinks alike.

Op i don't think that it is a necessity to satisfy individual curiosity by giving them detailed explanation of what you do to earn a living, though our locality has made it to look as if any stuff done in the internet that make people earn money is a fraud, allow people to believe what they want to believe hence you know that you are earning through a legitimate means there is nothing to worry about, i know that it can be worisome to the extent that individuals can even decide to setup you up because of jealousy that's even more reason why we should be more careful with whom we talk to. Mate we are bitcoiners but telling people about it, is like bragging and it may lead us to something we may regret, there are things we should be considering this time is that though our government has not make any official announcement of banning Bitcoin but the fight against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency by the government should open our eye to know that if we should make careless conversations with people we will find ourselves to be blamed because as it stands now we don't even know whom to trust and government agents are every where and that's why we need to lessen our conversations and concentrate more on having more portfolio in Bitcoin for future purposes.

OP I don't see any reason why you should be concerned about telling people what you do for a living, it is not necessary at all so far as you are living fine you owe no one any explanations to what you do for a living. I know that people do raise concern when someone is doing well without being that you have a physical or visible job you are doing to earn a living but that should not bother you at all. Just do things that are legit and forget about what people feels about you even if they tag you a fraudster accept it and move on with your life.
People in this part of the world are just too concerned to know what others does for a living and most of this people don't even have a job but they will always want to know what is happening in other people's life, very bad.
Moreover, with the current situation in the country about crypto currency is even an eye opener for us to be careful about people that knows we are into cryptocurrencies if not you might put yourself in trouble so just do things without being noticed.

Can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners?

Most people view Bitcoin as fraud and a tool for scamming people, so before I can tell anyone about Bitcoin I must ensure that the person is knowledgeable, that is he or she knows about Bitcoin and have great interest in it just like i do. Because if you happen to tell someone who has bad ideation about Bitcoin, the person might start seeing you as one online fraudster and will start planning evil against you. So it is better at times to do it on a low key  and avoid giving yourself a bad name through telling someone who is against it and knows nothing about it. Rather I can only tell someone who believes really well in Bitcoin about it.
