Ladies and Gentlemen of the SteemChurch,
'Peace be with you'.
SENATE OF NIGERIA LAUNCHES PROBE OF BITCOIN TRADING.
Will their probe uncover that Nigerians are growing personal wealth by STEEM trading in the process?
It has come to this Knight's attention that there are many Nigerian parishioners here at SteemChurch.
And that it was good!
However, it has also come to this Knight's attention that Nigeria is one of the world's fastest growing Bitcoin markets.
Furthermore, it is of note that many Nigerians are forming their own 'community groups' to trade goods and services in cryptocurrency, outside of the prying eyes of banksters and bureaucrats.
And we note that a lack of disclosure around this personal trading is of concern to the government of the country.
LET IT NOW BE STATED...
'Neither SirKnight or the SteemChurch condone any sort of peer-to-peer trading activities outside of generally accepted and monitored banking and government regulators!
We trust this is understood!
The only EXCEPTIONS to this rule would be:
- If you felt it was none of the government's business who you transact with! (In this scenario it would be ok).
- If you felt that the Government was not spending tax revenue well. (Again this would naturally be ok, because governments need to be sensible in the way they spend money.)
- If you believed that parliamentarians were enriching themselves off the hard-work of the taxpayer - it would again be ok in this scenario.
- If you felt that the government was enriching the crony capitalists within the nation at the expense of the worker - this again would exclude you from the rule.
- Finally, if you felt that the elected (or non-elected) government officials were not acting in the best interest of the people - you would again be excluded from this rule.
It is hoped that the people of Nigeria continue to do what they are doing - you are a fine example for the rest of the world.
GO NOW AND FORGE YOUR COMMUNITIES!
I AM... SIRKNIGHT!
WILL YOU JOIN THE CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM?

Everybody has a duty to do everything they can within the law to ensure the government criminals are put out of business. The Ponzi scheme currencies are going the same way the dodo did, into extinction.
Believe in crypto and you will find salvation.

With the movement in stock and bond markets last week, you'd have to assume that the fiat ponzi is on its last legs now TP. Combined with a bank run in China - could we be in for a bank holiday Monday?

Possibly, it'll happen at some point.
I pity the fools who have there cash in the banking system when it happens. They're primed to steal savings from those who still believe in the system and will no doubt have an excellent cover story to stop the pitchfork wielding broken and hungry masses from tearing up the place.
Everything is frothy and ready to take a cliff dive of epic proportions.
Gold, Silver & Crypto will save those who are ready but I would advise a decent stock of food too because the just in time delivery system will go tits up too.

The senators should look for something good to debate over ... Just this morning I saw a message that herdsmen are stopping travellers and killing them and this has been going on for some years but nothing have been done about it.. The have no right or moral justification to talk about Nigerians doing personal crypto transactions.. Most of us are just trying to survive in the harsh economy that resulted as a result of their mismanagement of funds and the corrupt actions. The Nigerian lawmakers are one of the highest paid in the world if not the highest and the citizens are swimming in poverty... Now that we are finally seeing light to financial freedom they want to interrupt

Tax is a levy everyone has to pay, but when the government fight, they fight in their own interest, not in the interest of it people. By the way the government spends money, manytimes they cant realy give an account for it because of what they taken for themselves.

Crypto currency trading has help a lot of nigerians in their hard times. Because the government are not benefiting from it, they will want to do all that's in their power to stop it. For God's sake, what is wrong in crypto trading. People are trying to earn a living without stealing and the government are complaining. @sirknight do u see what we experience in Nigeria?????

As a Nigerian, I've always asked, what is the Federal government doing to alleviate suffering and hardship in the country?. Nothing..
Everything is on the rise and salary is not increasing...
They should go and investigate about things like kidnapping and other social vices that have plagued my beloved country for decades and leave digital currency alone. That's not their problem .......

Off course I very much want to be part of the crusade for freedom, the Nigerian government totally want to have everything under their control, for which they can't administer properly, all they care about is their profit, the citizens welfare has never been their concern since inception, anyways this can't be said for all of them, but the big problem is the bad are too much, so the good ones can't have impact,but kudos to every honest Nigerian political leader.

@sirknight thanks for your concern about the state of Nigeria. However the Nigerian government should not be taken too seriously. They have failed to better the lot of the average Nigerian. Nigerians resort to peer to peer crypto trading to have another source of income. And it should be mentioned that some government officials now buy Bitcoins worth millions of Naira to hide their stolen loot since Bitcoin is untraceable. If there is any justice left, the masses must be left alone to better their own lives whichever they deem fit without resorting to crimes. Top of the day to you.

What ever the government cannot control, they hate and seek to destroy. As we all know, the Nigerian government is corrupt and since they cannot provide and distribute funds for their citizens then it is better we seek other legal ways to make money. This is why crypto currency trading is a good investment. We would not need to rely on the government for funds when it comes to providing basic amenities for the people.
Now how can a country with so much natural resources and foreign reserves still have 61% of its over 170million citizens living below $1? This tells you that the corrupt government officials do not have the interest of the people at heart. This is why I stand with cryptocurrencies. With this we can change Nigeria. We can fund projects without government assistance and we can restore Nigeria's lost glory.A report from the Guardian news paper on August 16 2017 says that

The interests of Nigerians in cryptocurrency is growing everyday. This is really fascinating! Nigerian government likened cryptocurrency to betting few days ago, the thing is they do not really know much about it. Corruption by the government makes the country difficult to live in. It's best not to avoid paying taxes, since the bible encourages us to give Ceaser's things to Ceaser.

Likening crypto to betting, that sounds like a really bad joke. I am extremely disappointed that our lawmakers with their 'vast intellectual prowess' and access to top financial minds still do not understand how the modern crypto situation works. We do know they are just after any and all means to seize whatsoever funds they can lay their hands on in the name of the government. But the nigerian people are strong, we will survive.

@SirKnight, i salute you once again. Nigeruan government can be funny. Are they just hearing of the currency? However, as you have rightly said, let every user of the currency trade well on right and justified grounds because in the end, it wont be about the currency but what is done with it and how it is done.

Nigeria government!!! They want to start taxation.. The things is.. investigating crypto trading is not a problem. The government can go ahead and investigate.
However, the fact that the Nigerian government is seemingly shortsighted in terms of blockchain technology and its good is my fear! Over time we have seen them make policies to the detriment of her citizens and go ahead to enforce them.
You never can tell the policy they will come up with after investigating but one thing Nigerians are pretty sure of is that the policies will be for government benefit. Its just a pity that most times we are unable to do anything about it.
We may talk all day here but if they aren't guided, we will be the ones at the receiving end of the ignorance. It is just so frustrating.

The Nigerian government have always been keen on investigating the source of personal wealth. And with so many Nigerians in the crypto market, I knew their involvement was coming sooner or later. I really appreciate that, despite the fact that @sirknight wants us to be law abiding, he also wants us to be more concerned about the the masses, that is the people. And as such if the government isn't spending tax revenue properly, then it is an exemption. Intelligent post!

Well the truth still remains the same, These Same people talking about the probe of crypto currency are even the ones investing in them big time. So that they can find an avenue to loot more money to enrich themselves. @sirknight the government of Nigeria has failed ours, they do care about the masses but are majorly concerned about their own selfish interest. Thanks for your concern,I really appreciate sir.

@sirknight Thanks for this information. For me, that investigation is because the cryto world is beyond their control. Many Nigerians including myself resorted to the world of crypto since our Government officials are only interested in themselves and not the masses who voted them into power.
Imagine a single person stealing an equivalent of a nation's a year or two years budget. It's really painful. As me the investigation is of no importance because they are after their own game.
