Recently, there was news in the media that Russia will sponsor the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Uganda. If this happens, it is quite possible that the government will undertake the construction of a Bitcoin mining farm.

Isn't it risky ? Cheesy

Today, with the help of the Internet, you can learn a lot about Uganda and, first of all, that this country has deposits of copper, gold, tin, tungsten, tantalum and niobium, beryl, and iron ores. And also this country has minerals such as apatite, limestone, kaolin, and there is also a small extraction of table salt and cement raw materials. But at the same time, most of the inhabitants of the twenty millionaire state continue to live in clay shacks and most of these people are starving. And therefore, I can’t understand how this people can be an authority in the cryptocurrency world.

ROLF ! Sorry for the shitpost, but who ever asked Uganda for financial advice ? (no disrespect for Uganda citizens) Just one country you almost never think of who does not agree with the BTC philosophy. What a SHOCK !
BTW... Uganda’s unbanked communities = 80% of the total population source . Since 80% are unbanked they should not be reluctant to alternative methods. Let's cut the crap...

there are no laws governing crypto. of course the central bank says crypto is very risky. however, to make an investment is very profitable, of course if there is already a risk advantage, there must be. news like this has been circulating very much, I think they don't understand crypto.

The risk is only in volatility. However, this is the essence of the market, if you are a trader, then you should be able to analyze the market situation and manage your asset. So I think that the statement of the Uganda Bank is that people must use the bank coz it is "safe", not exchanges.

Cryptocurrency is risky and the same thing goes things like fiat money and stocks. The only difference is that fiat money and stocks are regulated. There is always a risk whenever you are trying to invest in something. They are probably saying this because they can't do anything that will make them benefit from cryptos.

i dont think that a corrupt government like the government of uganda have the right to judge bitcoin...they just want to prevent people to use bitcoin for very bad reason(policy of starvation)

It depends on the people themselves whether to avoid or not but for people who know Bitcoin will know the risks when holding these coins. No wonder many countries warn about this, because Bitcoin is decentralized which also has many weaknesses.

Although cryptocurrencies are not regulated, and market volatility is sometimes huge, I am sure that this direction will develop and we will be able to use cryptocurrency as a means of payment on a par with Fiat. And so that there is less doubt in society, just pay attention to new technologies, to see, this is a potentially new growth, which means new jobs, a way to attract investments.

Moreover, those who say it is a poor state government, so I don't think it will affect anything in the crypto market. Uganda thinks that new technology is not suitable to be implemented in their country, that's what they should say. Because basically their currencies are much more risky because of inflation

Central bank of Uganda refuses to implement crypto because "it's risky"
source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/central-bank-of-uganda-warns-decentralized-cryptocurrencies-are-risky

It's nothing new and this is a fact but still, countries prefer to choose the technologygy behind it and according to Ugandan government

Quote

In his remarks, the governor clarified that the central bank does not have a comprehensive oversight of all financial services firms and institutions, and that its supervision typically spans commercial banks, credit institutions, foreign exchange bureaus and money remittance service providers.

with this remark, we can conclude that they do not want to add another currency because they do not have oversight on oversight of all financial services firms and they are at loss on how they can manage it if cryptocurrency is added.

Uganda is not confident with crypto because it will hinder their politicians to become transparent on every transactions made by them. Crypto histories on blockchain can be tracked unlike fiat hidden agendas. That's how I view it as their alibi's which is not to pin point on something fishy all about.

it's unbelievable that he says "cryptocurrency is risky" when his country's politicians are corrupt

Nine corruption scandals to look back at

cryptocurrency is not involved in these cases of corruption, so who is a risk to society? cryptocurrency or people who use cryptocurrency to commit crimes? Fiat is also used to commit crimes and can be seen in the link I posted.

He can not come to the public and say that people do not know how to take care of their own money ... because that means that people do not have the mental capacity to choose the president of his country

Well" yes I agree with your thoughts why some people is blended without any investigation and learning for the new thechnology advantage. Both currency can use to commit crimes why all fault goes into digital currency blaming to use in a crime.

Yes, crypto has certain risks and this is a deterrent for many. It is simply necessary that a little time pass for the crypto to be accepted.

Uganda? Really? I'd answer that it's still less risky than letting half of your country's population get wasted drinking moonshine made from bananas Cheesy

They are calling it Waragi.
https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2015/03/uganda-ongoing-struggle-moonshine-150325114705113.html
Maybe it would be a good idea to export this Waragi and make money but no it's better to attack decentralized currencies and get drunk while doing it.

First it's a bank
Second it's a bank !!!!!!!!!

No government bank would ever allow the cryptocurrencies to take their investors and make the economy probably unstable.
Don't take the words of banks seriously.
Cryptocurrencies are risky but they are worth the risk !! .
The profit is undeniably more than what anyone can ever earn from other sources.
Also before investing we already are well aware of all the losses that might come with the investment.

The same reason was stated by the central bank in my country but they only warned people on how risky in using cryptocurrencies in their transactions. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are not legal nor illegal in my country and the usage of the virtual coins keep growing daily. I think it is better if government start an information campaign on how to properly use cryptocurrencies instead of giving only warnings to those who use it.

If the government care that much they can do some informational campaigns regarding to this currency, there's some info drive to make people around the country to be aware and not to fall to any attempt of scammers and to avoid losing money.

At the end, is the risk worth taking or embarking on? my answer is YES, crypto currency is risky but at the end its worth the risk, Just like putting your money in the bank and unfortunately the bank folded up due to some incontigences, what will become of its share holders? So you see life itself is risky.

Life is a risk, it is full of choices.

We make our ways and there comes the choices that we will choose, we are the one that will decide our future though in cryptocurrencies, we people are the one that will decide. It is risky since it is a decentralized crypto and it is volatile. It is not always worth it since not every time the price go up, as I said it is volatile so we never know what might happen.

I admitted that the cryptocurrency is risky, but we can minimize the risk by learning about cryptocurrency. The one thing that we can do to reduce the risk is by using the money we can afford so we don't have to worry or afraid if what we invest is down. Sometimes people are using big money to invest because they want to make a big profit and that is not good. They need to know that every investment will have a risk, and they need to minimize the risk, so they don't get confusing to see the value of their investment is moving up and down. That will happen in the cryptocurrency, and it is better for us to play safe with our investment.
