i. The Future Of Cryptocurrency
Angy spots a lot of potentials in cryptocurrency.
She believes it is not just about buying and selling, it is way above that.
Though not all blockchains have a purpose, she sees the purpose-driven ones changing the world with their technology.
And in years to come, we will all look back and count 2020 as the year of the pandemic and also the year that opened ways for crypto mass adoption.
ii. Percentage of People in Crypto
She absolutely believes that more persons have gone into crypto.
Following statistics, the number was about 7% but has now doubled to about 14% for persons living in the USA.
Again, we see some exchanges carrying out maintenance every now and then to enable them manage the buy/sell activities going on.
Personally, she sees an exponential curve forming in the crypto adoption curve within this year and next.
And just as with every invention, it will take some time before it attains mainstream adoption.
iii. Risks Associated With Crypto – An Advice For Newbies
She started off with the golden rule of crypto trading – do not invest more than you can afford to lose.
But to greatly cut down the risks of crypto trading, she advised newbies to invest only in established cryptos.
Again, with crypto still being in its infant stage, the market is still experiencing lots of volatility and constant trading.
So she advised that those with certain health conditions like anxiety and heart attack to desist from investing in cryptocurrencies.
This is to keep them from experiencing attacks because of the movement of the market.
But for persons who actually believe in crypto, it is more than just an investment.
It can reshape the world and how we live. This is because you are now part of a change that is happening globally.
She further advises newbies to always test the waters first by trading with a small amount of money before going in full time.
iv. Government Restrictions on Crypto
Though not much of a politician, Angy thinks that the government’s restriction on cryptocurrency will not cause it to go away.
The government of various nations can:
- roll out their own digital currencies which will still be centralized.
- try to ban it outrightly from their countries.
- while the rest will try to tighten regulations and laws concerning the crypto community.
But that still will not cause cryptocurrency to vanish into thin air.
Yes, it may slow it down, but like a train that has left the station, getting it back will be really difficult.
v. Her Advice to Youngsters in Nigeria
Of course this is not a financial advice and neither is Angy a financial adviser.
She tells youngsters to give crypto a chance but above all, to give themselves a chance.
She described crypto as a good thing that can help them cope with the current economic situation in Nigeria.
It is something that you don’t need a lot of money to get into but it will yield you good returns.
Start small and then learn the ropes.
Take the chance, make mistakes, learn from them, and move on.
