Excellent initiative.

I couldn't find any list of books that you're planning to read, or have already read, so I'll give you one:

The White Paper – by Satoshi Nakamoto (Author), Jaya Klara Brekke (Editor), James Bridle (Introduction)

I noticed that you're going to start on June 1st, and this book was published exactly on that day, 3 years ago: June 1, 2019

It is possible to do great things from a small place - Tunde Onakoya

My three (3) best friends and I have started the first bitcoin book club in our city Abuja, Nigeria, for bitcoin lovers who share a sincere passion for discussing and reading books about bitcoin. We have always wanted to do this for a long. I am super excited that it is finally happening. The book club is called - Bitcoin Tribe Book Club.

Bitcoin Tribe Book Club

On 5th February 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria ordered banks in Nigeria to close the accounts of persons or business entities transacting in or operating cryptocurrency exchanges. Read it here - THE CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA BAN ON CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES

Despite this crackdown on bitcoin, we love bitcoin. We believe in its potential to help our collapsing economy and in its ability to secure a better future for our unborn generations. Therefore, we thought it would be a great idea to create a conversation that revolves around bitcoin. We hope that Bitcoin Tribe Book Club will grow to be the preferred platform to read, discuss, brainstorm, and find solutions to some of the toughest challenges in our nation using bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies. Our first meeting is on 1st June, 2022.

Here is our Instagram account @bitcointribebookclub which I just created. I would very much appreciate your thoughts, comments, and ideas. Thank you.

Bitcoin Book Club is a great idea, this should be widely adopted instead of building fundraising organizations or investment classes. We should educate others about Bitcoin concept to help them understand what bitcoin is and how important it is to us instead of just worrying about making profit without knowing the functions and the utility that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies bring.

Once again I wish your Bitcoin Book Club to grow stronger and create more value for the Nigerian people and wish the Nigerian bitcoin community to grow more and more.

You own the pen

This is how you make the first step towards promoting the real Bitcoin to your people and unlike mainstream media, they get real information with no sugar coating and also some legit prevention from scammers. This is really good hoping you guys will grow in the next years to come. though you are small in numbers now, the more people know about bitcoin each day, the more you grow in numbers. This is a nice way to raise awareness against scammers and fraud, you guys need to really work on this one to save your people from heartless scammers.

This is an outstanding innovative idea. But the problem with Africa is that because of corrupt and incompetent leadership the rate of poverty is high. There are limited job opportunities which has made the youthful population of Africa unemployed. Therefore most citizens are looking for diverse get rich quick schemes and many don't having value for learning. The only thing that can attract most youths to your club is the financial benefit they would gain from your events. Even religious organizations in Africa have to entice people with financial and other benefits for them to attend their programs. Hence, you must ensure you combine lessons on the true value of Bitcoin and the financial benefits of Bitcoin. However, I believe you can still attract persons that are interested to learn about the freedom Bitcoin offers. Best wishes.

My advice; do not over shoot the significant of Bitcoin, it can hardly affect the economy or improve standard of living, if can however make citizens to want to be more financially aware and independent instead of relying on an economy which is plagued by inflation.

Right, although I do believe it has the potential for both. However, far too much emphasis is put on the amount of Bitcoin can go up, and too little is focused on the true value of Bitcoin, allowing you to ditch third parties, take control of your own money, as well as looking after your own privacy. That to me is invaluable. Obviously, there are other benefits to it, but for me those are some of the key components that need to be taught, not the fact that Bitcoin can make you some money.

I'd like the emphasis to be shifted towards educating people on investing to better your freedom, rather than to lie your pockets. Unfortunately, the latter is usually the center of the topic.

Although am wondering as a book club it means you will also be needing hard materials about btc to fill your book club and am wondering if there are enough such hard copies about btc out there, i know most of the materials regarding btc are online. Nonetheless, best of luck.

If we have a hard time getting the hard copies of the books in our city, we'd download the softcopies.

Hey congratulations! It is not only about sharing and reading Bitcoin but also spreading awareness of what Bitcoin is and I hope some people might get curious and get educated on what really Bitcoin is since most of them know Bitcoin as an investment scam.

Aside from creating conversations around bitcoin, we also plan to create awareness of what bitcoin by requesting to speak at schools, religious places of worship, and in offices. In addition, we plan to organize seminars and symposiums in the city. Also, our Instagram page will create engagement with Nigerians online.

The Nigerian government recently updated their view of digital assets and services, lifting the ban and imposing regulations which in my opinion would limit growth of such services.

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria only gave a set of new regulations guiding the issuance, exchange and custody of digital assets in Nigeria but the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) initially ordered banks to stop cryptocurrency transactions are yet to give a directive for them to resume. Our fingers are crossed.

Can't be too many books yet affordable to read but you know why we love those torrenters. Maybe eventually with diligent note taking you might even publish a compilation for posterity -- in local language!

Hopefully with time, we may grow big enough to compile our notes in the major languages, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

Yes, it is a good endeavour to educate people about bitcoin, and your concept will assist them in comprehending the importance and strength of bitcoin, as well as its usage and objectives. It also encourages them to be daring and learn more about bitcoin because they will have enough information to guide them through your worthwhile project while also providing them with more financial freedom.

Back to the book club; it is a nice initiative and can reach out to the Nigerian audience. Reading the title and first few lines, I actually thought it was a physical book store, but it appears to be online. Good initiative either way.

My advice; do not over shoot the significant of Bitcoin, it can hardly affect the economy or improve standard of living, if can however make citizens to want to be more financially aware and independent instead of relying on an economy which is plagued by inflation.

My interest here is on the lifting of the ban! Is that really accurate? Because from my understanding of that piece that was released within the week, it only imposed regulations and that was from the SEC. Either the ban has been lifted or not remains a puzzle as, local banks have not gotten the required go, from the CBN to fully transact or allow accounts to transact in cryptos. The SEC might permit this only within the registration and regulational rights for which, they will act as an umbrella in investigational cases and aside from that, your just by yourself.

Meanwhile, I think you guys @OP have done great to have come up with the idea of having a cryptocurrency bookclub. It's a nice one and as pioneers of this innovation, I hope that you guys do the needed research of what makes a bookclub a bookclub and hope to make it stand. Also, ensure not to discuss your private portfolio as per hodlings to keep off unnecessary attention for privacy and security reasons.

Nice going, am on mobile now so cannot remember the prwcise titles of books I really liked (as interesting and educational vs engrossing dramascapes factfiction).

Can't be too many books yet affordable to read but you know why we love those torrenters. Maybe eventually with diligent note taking you might even publish a compilation for posterity -- in local language!

Mpesa idea from franky was what came across my mind too. Still think it brilliant all these years after first encountering it.

this is a very good journey and should be followed by other countries, because you have spread kindness that is beneficial to others, maybe I can not repay your kindness, but I will always pray for your health, give a chance to many people, for sure will remembered forever, although bitcoin is very popular but there are still people who do not believe in bitcoin, there are even some people who think bitcoin is an investment scam.

to emphasise this:
the main issue africans have had was the fee's

solutions include setting a tribal/village leader someone trusted as an exchanger where he takes on the pain of exchanging rather then using bank/institutional/international exchanges

much like how they have them m-pesa kiosks/agents in each village that convert fiat to phone credit(m-pesa)

It's a good journey and having wished to do something like this in the past and later created it in your city is a success in the first place. Because your team of friends have made good decisions over this project for a long period of time. Your project will stand if only you are ready to stand by it at all cost. Remember it took some projects like Binance 30years to succeed (he replied me on Twitter) and some 2 years. CZ added that they invested everything they got and borrowed just to make it happen. Therefore, what matters is not how long it took them but, the success came at last. Good luck.

Congratulations to you and your friends, i hope you will find like minded Nigerians who have the same passion as you guys to support your idea and dream. Perhaps you can seize this opportunity to educate the ignorant ones over there about btc and help change their misconception about btc especially from the negative things they must have read online about btc.
Although am wondering as a book club it means you will also be needing hard materials about btc to fill your book club and am wondering if there are enough such hard copies about btc out there, i know most of the materials regarding btc are online. Nonetheless, best of luck.

Help the victim scammed by ColdKey

You have did good thing by presenting a book on Bitcoin, but keep updating it. In most countries Banks had siezed accounts pertaining to Crypto transactions and later they allowed and again banning happens. I would suggest you to concentrate on your book than these Government rules even here we see our govt plays most time for crypto investors.

You will see some results when the times just like a blog that turns into money making machine.
