Bitcoin for begineers in a simplified model

in #bitcoin7 years ago

It's becoming a cliché on this platform but
We want everyone to Take Advantage of this Opportunity especially those of us in Nigeria:

Exchange rate is now #360 or more to $1.

Bank interest rate is 17.78%.

Minimum wage is N18k.

Fuel price is N145.

Kerosene sells at N220.

Businesses are shutting down.

Jobs are being lost in their

thousands.

Recession is at its peak. There are so many ideas but no startup funds available, things are just not working at the moment.

I am very sure we are all interested in accumulating wealth in valueless currencies.

But

What if you could make money in a currency far more valuable than our pendulum-ic(rising some days and falling most days)
A currency more valuable than the US dollars($), Euros(€) and Pounds(£)

Therefore, if you want to operate at this realm, u need a bank account free from all banks. A bank account you will

control yourself. A bank account that does not limit your transactions in any form. I mean a bank account that will not

say; maximum transfer you can make per day is 200,000.00 or maximum ur account can take is 300,000.00 and all of

sort. In this Bank, you are your boss. That is all I can say about this bank.WhatsApp Image 2018-01-16 at 11.54.56.jpeg
The bank account is called Bitcoin wallet. To open this bank account, u need no ID card, current NEPA bill and all of that. All you need will be laid down to you.

First and foremost,

WHAT IS BITCOIN(BTC)?

I know quite a lot of us have heard about it. But do we know how actually it operate and it's value?
For the benefit of those of us that don't know about bitcoin...

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency which values far more than the precious pounds. It is a digital currency, created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars, naira, yen, euros etc. It can be used in paying online/offline bills, shopping investment, Forex trading. You can even recharge your phone with it. The worth of bitcoin is on a daily increase.

Presently, most online biz is keying into using BTC (bitcoin) as a major means of transaction. It's easy to control and very high market demand for it.

As of today,
1BTC = about $12,500+ (over N5m+).

You can buy and sell BTC from various exchangers both online and offline. All you need to have is your bitcoin wallet which is like a bank account to store your Bitcoins.
