What tech stack does e-Naira use? The e-Naira, like other digital currencies, was created to improve security, privacy, and transparency for its users. The exact technology used to develop the e-Naira isn't fully known, but research suggests that common tools like Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Hyperledger Fabric are likely part of it. DLT helps ensure transparency, security, and that data cannot be changed, and it supports the two-tiered system the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) uses. Hyperledger Fabric, on the other hand, is a blockchain system designed for businesses and organizations. #cbdc image

How many people use e-Naira? When e-Naira was first launched, many Nigerians thought it was a scam. Some even believed that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) introduced it to track people using cryptocurrencies, which could result in their bank accounts being suspended. Because of these concerns, only about 0.5% of the population used e-Naira in the first year. However, starting in October 2022, its popularity grew quickly, and now around 13 million people are using it. #cbdc #nigeria image

Topic: Challenges and Risks of Bitcoin While Bitcoin offers numerous advantages, it also presents certain challenges and risks that need to be addressed: - Bitcoin is known for its price volatility. Its value can fluctuate dramatically over short periods, which can be a risk for investors and a challenge for its use as a stable currency. - The legal status of Bitcoin varies by country. Some governments have embraced it, while other countries like Nigeria have banned or heavily regulated its use. This uncertainty has affect its adoption and usability. - While the Bitcoin network itself is highly secure, individual users can be vulnerable to hacks, scams, and theft, especially if they do not properly secure their digital wallets. - As Bitcoin has grown in popularity, the network has faced challenges with scalability. The Bitcoin network can process only a limited number of transactions per second, leading to delays and higher fees during periods of high demand. #bitcoin #btc #nostr #newbie #learnbitcoin Read previous post here:

…continued from previous post How Bitcoin is been Used - Medium of Exchange: Bitcoin can be used to buy goods and services online and, increasingly, in physical stores. Some businesses accept Bitcoin as a payment method, either directly or through payment processors that convert it into fiat currency. - Store of Value: Many people view Bitcoin as a DIGITAL GOLD, using it as a store of value to protect against inflation and economic instability. Due to its limited supply and increasing demand, Bitcoin has often appreciated in value over time. - Investment Asset: Bitcoin is also seen as an investment asset. Investors buy and hold Bitcoin with the expectation that its value will rise, similar to how they might invest in stocks or real estate.

…continued from previous post Topic: Characteristics of Bitcoin The key characteristics of Bitcoin include: Decentralization: Bitcoin is not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or financial institution. Its decentralized nature is one of its defining features and differentiates it from traditional currencies. Limited Supply: Bitcoin has a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. This scarcity is built into its code, ensuring that no more than 21 million bitcoins will ever exist. This feature makes Bitcoin deflationary, contrasting with traditional currencies, which can be printed in unlimited quantities. Transparency and Anonymity: All Bitcoin transactions are recorded on the blockchain, making them publicly visible. However, while the transactions are transparent, the identities of the users involved are pseudonymous, meaning that they are represented by complex alphanumeric addresses rather than personal information.

…continued from previous post How Bitcoin Works Bitcoin operates on a technology called blockchain, which is a decentralized, public ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions. The blockchain is maintained by a network of computers (nodes) that validate and record every transaction. Bitcoin transactions occur directly between users, without the need for an intermediary like a bank. This peer-to-peer nature allows for greater autonomy and reduces transaction costs. New bitcoins are created through a process called mining. Miners use computational power to solve complex mathematical puzzles that validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. This process, known as Proof of Work (PoW), ensures the security and integrity of the network. Miners are rewarded with new bitcoins for their efforts.

Bitcoin and Crypto Education (A guide for the starter) Digital currencies, also known as digital money or electronic currencies, are currencies that exist exclusively in electronic form. Unlike physical money such as coins or banknotes, digital currencies are intangible, decentralized, and can be transferred digitally through devices like computers, smartphones, or tablets. Bitcoin as a digital currency Bitcoin is the first and most well-known example of digital money, often referred to as a cryptocurrency. It was introduced in 2008 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin represents a major innovation in the financial world, fundamentally changing how we think about money and transactions. Bitcoin is classified as a cryptocurrency because it uses cryptography to secure transactions, control the creation of new units, and verify the transfer of assets.

How did #bitcoin investors behave during the recent market downturn? When the crypto market took a hit, two distinct groups of Bitcoin investors emerged. According to blockchain data, seasoned investors with wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 coins seized the opportunity to boost their holdings, snapping up more Bitcoin. On the other hand, smaller-scale investors with less than 1 BTC in their addresses were selling off their assets, reveals IntoTheBlock analysis. This dichotomy highlights a stark contrast in investment strategies: Experienced and affluent investors, undeterred by market fluctuations, confidently doubled down on their crypto bets. Inexperienced investors, often driven by emotions, fled the market. This divergence underscores the difference between calculated risk-taking and impulsive decision-making in the world of cryptocurrency investing. #bitcoin #btc #stacksats #hodl #nostr

The global community is reaping the benefits of Bitcoin transactions without KYC requirements, thanks to decentralized exchanges such as @peachbitcoin, @bisq, @vexl, @RoboSatsOrdersBot, and @hodlhodl. However, Nigeria seems to be left out. Why is this the case? We need a peer-to-peer exchange capable of engaging at least 50% of traders in Nigeria in decentralized trading. @bisq has the potential to launch and sustain an NGN market. What initiatives are others taking to address this? #decentralized #p2p #nokyc #stacksats #bitcoin #btc

Bitcoin was created by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto as a symbol of financial freedom. It offers a decentralized alternative to traditional currencies, which are often controlled and manipulated by governments to serve their own interests. Why will these oppressors, who thrive on the control of fiat, stand against our desire for liberation through Bitcoin in Nigeria? Just, WHY? #bitcoin #btc #stacksats #nostr #p2p

@peachbitcoin , a peer-to-peer (P2P) Bitcoin exchange platform, has seen a growing interest globally, but not yet in Nigeria. However, the percentage of users in Nigeria is not publicly available. @peachbitcoin can Leverage popular platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, which have a significant Nigerian user base. Additionally, influencer marketing can be instrumental in expanding reach to a broader audience. We have many traders in Nigeria but most don’t really know what it means to buy and sell their Bitcoin non-kyc’d they’re mostly focused on trading using centralized exchanges. #decentralized #peachbitcoin #bitcoin #btc #nigeria
