Nigerian crypto scams: My experience and advice.

I've been fighting crypto scams in Nigeria for over 6 years. Here's what I've learned

There's a lot on my mind, but I'll address things gradually. ??

Having spent more than 6 years in the industry, I've witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly.

This hasn't in any way distracted me from following my path to educate more Nigerians.

In the process, I've also ventured into advocacy in the space.

I write articles, publish in national dailies, grant interviews on crypto, and analyze the market weekly on national TV here in Nigeria.

I get exposed to all kinds of individuals, from social media to print media.

Throughout all of this, I've been fighting battles with bad actors marketing products capable of stealing people's money.

What did I get?

Death threats here and there, from Tatcoin to Inknation, Pinkcoin, and Zugacoin.

I stood my ground as an industry professional.

In 2021, I was privileged to attend a meeting with some white individuals who wanted to meet with me to discuss business.

I attended, and we began discussing. Eventually, I was offered a deal of $1 million to do something.

I know you're in a hurry to hear that part, but I won't be in a hurry to share it.

I was told that they were going to build a crypto project, pump it, and market it with $1 million.

According to the main guy, let's call him Guy A, he said I would be rich, and all they needed was to pump the coin and later remove the capital and profit.

This suggests that a lot of Nigerians will suffer losses.

I politely declined, stating that I didn't want to involve myself in such a thing, and my heart couldn't take it. This was a time when I didn't have much to my name, but I moved on.

Currently, in the industry, many youngsters are actively involved in these activities.

All investors need is for them to have a large following on Twitter, now X, and they're good.

These younger guys don't care; they are more concerned with driving very expensive cars worth millions at the age of 20-25.

Newbies in this space, be careful what you wish for; some of these guys are sometimes ignorant that their crypto wallet address can be tracked, and their particulars can be retrieved from an exchange. This process is called the travel rule.

Wealth will always come when you are focused in this young industry.

Have you lost money investing in a terrible crypto project?
