I think the pump from the first halving should be treated as an outlier when talking about average increase. We'll have a more realistic expectation if that's remove from the computation.

In any case, the percentage increase in this 2024 halving could be the same as the third or a bit higher. BTC at six digits by late 2024 or early 2025 is still not out of the picture.

I think everything is normal and reasonable, including the entire BTC price fluctuation in each cycle. BTC's price performance is hindered by price, marketcap, and ALTS participation. This means that the increase of BTC price will slow down over time, until there is a major change in the price regime: from convergence to stability to a larger bubble.

I am very optimistic about the impact of BTC Spot ETF but I do not think it can change the current regime of BTC: meaning that the price performance of BTC in this cycle will be smaller than in the previous cycle, meaning that using the connecting line of the 2 peaks of the 2 previous cycles cannot help suggest the peak of the next cycle.

The bigger risk associated with exchange or any centralized party is stuff like bankruptcy, or terrible security practices where they got hacked and lost a lot of money, etc. Not to mention some 2FA or KYC processes can get hacked too, depending on which exchange you use. So this KYC process doesn't say much.

You forgot to mention risk of jeopardizing of user's privacy and identity, which is one of the most common risks attached with using Centralized Exchanges.
You can't boast of absolute anonymity because your personal data are being stored on the exchange's database and hence could be easily assessed by the government or authorities, which stands against what crypto really stands for, decentralization.

What do you say about this?

There are many big hotels, resorts, and even schools owned by politicians and others that do not accept deposits in naira. The government knows about these institutions and should go after them. Those people are contributing to devaluing our currency because it doesn't even make sense for you to accept another currency within the borders of a country.

If the EFCC can enforce this, the value of our naira will improve.

That is very bad for people of a country to use another country currency to run their businesses. It is not good at all. And when I look at the matter I don't blame the individuals that are using or accepting dollar in their businesses because the government started it all. If the government is calling money in the exchange rate it pronounced in dollar which very bad as well when you have your own national currency you called another country currency to have value to that currency and devalue yours.  Really I don't know how true this movement will be personally I like the move because it will drastically reduced dollar and naira will have value but if Tinubu is the president of Nigeria, naira will never appreciate. Naira will not come down to 1k again because Tinubu himself is using dollar for all his doings and not naira. Last election he spent dollar to give to voters and not naira.

I personally have felt positive things from the existence of this cryptocurrency industry, so I actually don't agree if, for example, our country prohibits activities in cryptocurrency.  Luckily our country doesn't ban it, so we can still trade and invest in crypto. 
Maybe in the past the countries that banned crypto saw that crypto was not useful or would be detrimental to their country so they banned it, but after seeing the huge development of crypto they changed their minds.

Years ago, for example during the bull run 2017, the focus was solely on blockchain technology: countries and companies wanted to use blockchain for supply chains or decentralized data storage for healthcare, transportation, education... Currently, blockchain technology is more developed, but its adoption by businesses is still not really widespread, only some private blockchains have been tested on a small scale. In the meantime, crypto has developed strongly and is seen as a new market, a new asset class for investors.

I'm not sure if governments see the value of crypto to the economy, but they have at least recognized that taxes from crypto can help the country develop better. Crypto adoption can also create jobs, attract investment, and get votes from young voters - these are enough to make politicians think seriously about a national crypto strategy.
