You wan complain about Bitcoin?
Who you go call? 😂
“Hello, Bitcoin CEO?”
“Abeg, my transaction never enter.”
“Abeg, reduce Bitcoin price make I buy.”
“Abeg, increase Bitcoin supply.” 😂
No CEO dey there.
Bitcoin no be company wey one person dey run.
The network get rules, and plenty people around the world dey verify those rules independently.
Nobody get the big red button wey dem fit press to control everything.
Na one of the things wey make Bitcoin different.

Today we dey put the spotlight for one outstanding bitcoiner, Theophilus Isah.
@Extheo
Oga Theo, na the CEO of Mavapay wey don help many people with cross border payments for the Bitcoin Ecosystem.
Na because of people like am we fit talk say some kyn things dey possible!
Imagine say one person dey control all the banks for the world.
Anything wey e say, everybody must follow.
Now imagine say instead of one person to control everything, thousands of people get power to control wetin dey happen.
Na small way to understand decentralisation.
For Bitcoin, people around the world dey run nodes to verify transactions & check whether e follow the network rules.
So Bitcoin no get one central place wey everything dey pass through.
Control no dey one hand. Na decentralisation be that.

Why Nigerians like Bitcoin?
Ask five Nigerians and you fit hear five different answers.
One go talk investment.
Another person go talk say:
“I just wan understand this Bitcoin thing.”
Another person fit dey interested because of international payments.
Everywhere you go, person dey boss people.
Office get oga. Bank get MD. Company get CEO. Even WhatsApp family group get one aunty wey dey control everything.
But Bitcoin? Who be the oga?
Bitcoin no get CEO wey fit wake up one morning change everything.
People dey run nodes, miners dey process transactions, developers dey work on the software and users dey participate for the network.
Everybody dey work with the rules.
No single person get the whole remote.

Imagine say you get ₦500k.
You give your friend make e keep am for you.
Who get the money? You.
Who dey hold am? Your friend.
Na small way to understand custody.
For Bitcoin, custody na simply who dey hold and who dey control the keys to your Bitcoin.

If another person or company dey hold the keys, dem dey control the custody.
If na you hold your own keys, na you dey control your Bitcoin.
So when Bitcoin people talk say:
“Not your keys, not your coins.”
Now you know wetin dem mean.
