The issue with the Nigerian government over crypto and it's users is the money that can be generated through the industry in a short period of time, either as an investor or trader. The crypto industry has shown a tremendous spark on financial freedom to the Nigerian users, and this is what came as a threat to the Nigerian government, that with this system, anyone can have financial freedom at ease.
This took time before the Nigerian citizens started developing interest in the crypto community due to the fear of scam and losing of money that can't be traced or regained. But now, they are high in the crypto industry.
The period of ban on crypto currency in Nigeria, gave a firm stand of the P2P system of trading.
Government do pretty sure trying out to crack down Bitcoin before as it is already that making up some noise but still they have failed out on doing so and thats why now that they do realize that this is something that cant really be stopped then they do rather just simply accept it out because there's nothing they can do. They've seen that institutions are really that starting up to accept it out and there are ones who do make it as a legal tender on which signifies that there's so much trust into it and thats why its not really that not shocking that they will really be making up some other actions towards it and instead on trying to crack it directly, they do rather impose strict regulations into those services that offers or in correlates with crypto.
The government initially rejected bitcoin because we read a lot of news that bitcoin was opposed by almost all countries. But now the government is trying to accept bitcoin because bitcoin is getting more famous.
There are even countries that allocate funds to buy bitcoin in large amounts.
So other countries' governments should consider accepting bitcoin and maybe in the future will allow bitcoin as a means of payment
Countries that has already accepted the use of Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are countries that has seen that the crypto industry has come to stay, and any ban placed on it, generates another idea or way that can byepass the ban without official trace. It is better for other countries to start making plans on accepting the use of crypto currencies and creating a way to control it's use to avoid illegal activities.
Any country fighting against Bitcoin and altcoins is probably fighting a vain fight, instead, they should start developing a means on how it can help the country's economy.
