Nigeria has not accepted crypto fully, so it's hard for such proposals to even be submitted, and it will be hard for it to pass ruling, and even if Bitcoin is being adopted by the Nigerian government using it as part of their reserve, they won't be the first African country to own Bitcoin; the Central African Republic already approved Bitcoin as a legal tender since 
 
Nigeria needs more than Bitcoin adoption to boost our economy and our country's currency; the government should start by tackling the loopholes that contribute greatly to our currency devaluation. Too much depending on importation and the excessive need and use of foreign currency are also part of the reason for our currency devaluations.

You have just given the most precise response to OP. Nigeria is still developing so we can't really copy everything the United States are doing. Perhaps, even if Bitcoin becomes a reserve currency in Nigeria, it's benefits will still return to the so called corrupt leaders and not improve the economy of the country in any way. Sharing same understanding with you, i agree that what will boost our economy is Nigeria is beyond bitcoin adoption, so it is. A lot of things need to be set in place before the country can experience massive growth in our economy. True that bitcoin adoption will help the country a lot but it's not a prerequisite that our redemption will come from bitcoin.

I spoke about this before and many spoke as if it was infeasible How feasible will it be for our government to invest in bitcoin?
I think this will even be more beneficial to Nigeria rather than the US which has already developed and has many source for revenue couple with the fact that their economy is still in a wonderful state in comparison to ours.

If our Governments took this step last year, we might be in a better state than this in terms of our economical standing, I also think it will bring a sense of transparency on how funds are being spent by them, since we can all see how funds are being moved in the blockchain whereas in the case of money laundering we don't even see anything or who are actually among all of these. Even if there may be no justice at least we know who are the culprits and maybe get justice by ourself someday.
You and i know that we cant push this appeal to the government. Since we have this idea who will push it to the senates. Sometime i just wonder what are the objectives that are been discussed whenever there is a senate meeting in Nigeria. I don't see any strategic development plans to boos the countries economy. All i see are bills passed with the typical ways of embezzling money from the countries treasury. Even if this idea is to be brought to the Senate they wont take it serious. Well i cannot conclude i just want to see the government deliberate on this because this will be a way out of this economy hardship for the next 20 years.

Your right! this strategy will be more beneficial to Nigeria than to U.S.

Getting that proposal approved is going to make the country get enough profit from bitcoin before the end of that proposed year, but bitcoin doesn't contribute to the country's currency value increase; it can only make them richer. One of the major factors that countries use to value currency is demand, which Bitcoin won't do to the US dollar.

I know many of us might have heard about the Bitcoin act of 2024 introduced to the US senate.

The bill is to have a Bitcoin reserve for the US government which they are buy one million Bitcoin in the next five years. And all the Bitcoin accumulated in the five year period will be a held for 4 cycles (20 years).

If this bill is implement it will be a big shot of the US economy. In 4 cycle its possible they will have huge profit that will increase the value of the US Dollars and make the country rich.

My concern is that, is it possible for the Nigerian government to introduced such a bill to the senate to buy at least a qualitative amount of Bitcoin for reserve by 2025. This approach will help our country as one of the richest African country and the first to have a Bitcoin reserve in Africa.

This will give a huge boost to our Naira depreciation. Lets think about it.
