actually it is more interesting to remember what is the performance of bitcoin price before the Halving because after that moment ? the price of bitcoin shows craziness and make it pump and dump for some time now.
I hardly see any positive views in the past week but this week seems to be a best movement of bitcoin so far after that halving .

The EFCC chairman said our crypto are being used to finance the country's terrorism - I couldn't wrap my head round the whole thing because it's kind of weird for someone who has been in the financial sector to think this way. The young people in power are even worse than the old fashioned politicians we criticize daily.

When the SEC and the EFCC positions were appointed, we all thought it was a way to financial freedom for the youths since these positions are occupied by the youths. Instead we're on the knife here.

Some of you are aware of our activities in the area of investigating virtual currency trading and the likes of cryptocurrencies,” Olukoyede said.

“They are potential platforms to fund terrorism. A lot of us don’t understand that. Some of our discoveries during investigation of some of these platforms were mind boggling.

“We thought Binance was a major one. Yes, it was. We are prosecuting them. But there are other platforms we have discovered.

“They used some of these young men. Some of them don’t know that the people who gave them money to trade are people who fund terrorism.”

The anti-graft agency chief also noted that there is a need to adopt technology in tracking money used to fund terrorism in the country

My gambling journey is not quite an entertaining one because of the losses I experienced. It happened that I gambled huge money in the past with the aim of hitting jackpot since gambling does pay the money won whether big or small without wasting time.

The target of winning big amount has been the aim without reasoning how long would it take me to win such a jackpot I aim, after i must have lose terribly when gambling.

The wrong mentality about gambling is what makes our gambling journey to be ugly because the majority sees gambling to make quick money for themselves

Gambling can make you rich overnight mate if you have all the luck in the world but that seldom happens to an individual as most of us gamblers will experience financial difficulty at first before realizing that we need to change our mindset in order for us to have a good overview on gambling.

Right gambling can make a man rich overnight if all the luck in the world depends on it. Moreover, it is not possible to become rich overnight from gambling. Gambling is an addiction to which a person becomes addicted and destroys his entire life. Maybe those who are addicted to gambling participate in order to change themselves very quickly, if they continue to gamble and gamble, they cannot get rich quickly and eventually become destitute. To anyone who says gambling is recreational, I say gambling is recreational but there is some hope of making money.

It is simple because when you look at the gambling phase you would see that it's a thing of choice and a thing to ease ones anger or stress, gambling is entertaining and whomever that is gambling for these sake can actually becomes responsible if they are not over doing it making it looks so obvious that their lives depends on gambling.
If a gambler sets some restrictions and limitations to themselves then it's fine, this will enable them channel their gambling to a better ways where they don't go gamble excessively.

I am still confused why the price is still going up upon all the dreams with Binance and other cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. Presently the price or the exchange rate is USD1 = NGN1564.71 even as this we are still praying for good Nigeria. Last week again President Tinubu said they should extend the Binance Staff detention until the needed information are given. And I don't think Binance is ready to release such vital information to Nigeria Government.

They will look for more people to arrest and more people to blame for their cluelessness, because by now it should be obvious to them that it was not binance or even the naira speculators that they blamed that is the cause of the problem of the naira. They are just chasing shadows and ignoring the real problem, like they do not know it.

It is very embarrassing that one of the detained binance executives is still in custody, it is a shame.

It is obvious that they are bereft of ideas to revive the economy and strengthen the naira value against dollar as they have been wanting to do. They know the main people behind all these and do not want to take actions against them  but rather they are just dancing around and doing what is just minuit of what they are expected to do.

You could imagine what the binance CEO said In an interview that the government want to take bribe so that they could close the case and release their representative here. It is unfortunate that those who did that exposed the corrupt and sharp practices their agencies have long endulge themselves into. These are the real problems of Nigeria because they would prefer to take bribe than doing right thing that is supposed to be done . Just imagine sending them against those companies and businesses that transacts with dollar instead of naira. The reverse would be the case because they would opt for taking bribe that doing the needful.
