Financial Intelligence Of Surviving On Crypto In Nigeria
One of the best things that’s happened to me in Nigeria was learning about crypto and utilizing it. I remember graduating from the university thinking about what to do with my life and having no idea. I mean, the plan was to finish my undergraduate program, go to law school, finish law school, do youth service program then move on to whatever was next. But I wasn’t quite comfortable with the plan. First I wondered how I would pay for law school because, how I’d fend for myself during law school and generally I’d start my life as an adult.
The COVID-19 pandemic came and further ruined the plan I didn’t already have. Lol. The entire lockdown threw into a state of serious depression. While everyone was inside and the earth was healing, my mind was busy going bananas. I was so relieved when the lockdown was finally called off and schools reopened; I needed to breathe. I soon went back to school and began the academic hustle again and this time the finish line was close, but with this finish line in sight came a crippling fear of failure.
I was really worried about ‘making it’ out therein the world. I worried that I didn’t have what it takes and the odds weren’t famous for being in my favour. At this point my dad was already very sick and funds weren’t coming my way as they used to. I had an uncle whom I was grateful for, he supported me a great deal. Although we currently no longer have a relationship but his impact in my life cannot be ignored.
He loved me and was so invested in my life, in my being a better person. Most days when I want to stop trying, I think about his kindness and encouragement and it helps me fall asleep with the plan to keep trying by morning.
Anyways, I knew there was more life waiting for me that I had. I knew I was designed for greatness but just couldn’t fathom the formula at the time. I wasn’t lazy, I ventured into a lot of businesses but I never saw one through. I was lacking something.
I decided I was going to get a job to support myself. And I tried. Now being a Nigerian, getting a job isn’t a simple thing. In this country it’s already difficult to secure a job as a full fledged certified graduate not to talk of someone who’s yet to graduate. I studied law so I reached out to Law firms and they were only interest in partnerships where I’d be paid by experience. I declined because I as already getting enough experience in the classroom at the time, I couldn’t afford to do any unpaid anything. Lol. I needed some shmoney to aid my respiration. 😂
Well I was almost graduating at this point. Last business I ventured into was making and selling lip balms. It was fair, at least I was eating and paying my bills so it was okay. I graduated December and
Few days into January 2022, I talked to a friend who introduced me to Hive and more about crypto currency.
Prior to this introduction I was already helping my ex partner convert his crypto currencies through a friend who trades. He worked a lot so he put me in charge of converting and allocating our upkeep money, he told his friends and they started trading through me too so I was making some likkle monies too.
Then I found Hive and quickly fell in love with it. Not only did it provide me with with the kind of mental stimulation I didn’t know I needed, it also exposed me to a vast supply of crypto based information and finance generally. I just knew Hive was a gold mine for anyone who has a hunger for mental stimulation and love for human resource. I haven’t yet found my footing in hive but one things about it is even the journey is remarkable. I love it here and this is me simping with my whole chest.
My financial intelligence has really improved since I found hive and that’s what I think I’ve been lacking. Every dollar existing on hive has a great value and I appreciate it in the spirit of the blockchain.
Living off crypto currency is sustainable and safe for the environment, I think. I stand to be corrected. I hope to achieve attain and achieve all the goals I’ve set for myself.
Thank you for reading and engaging. Much appreciated.

Lol, even, in Nigeria, they talk about protecting the surrounding steada. Guys, get this out of your head. The African continent can become a bonanza for each of its inhabitants, but some rules of the game are imposed on you, as a result, the floor of Africa without water, constant internecine wars ... just live, extract your resources and break all contracts with investors in quotes who drink all the juices from africa. The period of the slave system on the African continent has not ended, it is simply veiled and colonial wars continue, everyone is trying to wrest a fat piece from African soil. Look at Germany. They are afraid of being left without Russian gas, but they will not allow some of the trees to be cut down to heat houses. They are ready to be slaves of gas contracts, but otherwise they will not be able to talk to you about ecology. On a good note, we should talk about ecology when there is drinking water in every corner of the African continent. if, about ecology ..., you need to write in a cesspool, deeper, that's for sure.

The water situation is not as you think about it to be, it depends on the location you are at, there are lots of people who don't experience water problems, like myself.
Depending on the area you are at that you are affected by this terrorism like here in Nigeria, it's affecting the lives of people who are in the north, that's where insecurity really lies.
There's no disputing whatsoever that the rate of poverty is high but that's not the entire picture that is being painted to the world.
You'd actually be amazed, @barski
