This July he said, &#34;I&#39;ve become a big crypto guy.&#34;<br/><br/>The richest country on earth is planning to hold Bitcoin for the long term. Meanwhile, many people still think it&#39;s a scam.<br/><br/>If the US sees Bitcoin as a reserve asset, maybe it&#39;s time the rest of us learned it properly, starting with self-custody and Lightning, not Ponzi apps.<br/><br/>#bitcoin #lightning 2026-10-19T19:33:10Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqspgh9j6fanyjh2z32zacuyusmn4cs3j608wr0p2rwxcxuuh56humgzyzladl4h36jat2c02utmqj38fq8u33kg4tzwltm44dq5aj850aflzndquhx Nigerians don&#39;t want Bitcoin. They want dollars. Can Lightning change that?<br/><br/>Since 2023 the naira has lost over two-thirds of its value against the dollar. So when people here say &#34;crypto&#34;, they almost always mean USDT. It works like a dollar savings account, and P2P traders make it easy to swap in and out of naira.<br/><br/>Bitcoin? Most people see it as too volatile to hold and too slow and pricey to send. Lightning is almost unknown.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve been showing friends and family sats moving in seconds for almost nothing. They&#39;re impressed, but the next question is always the same: how do I spend this, or turn it into naira?<br/><br/>So, stackers: what would actually win Nigerians over? Better Lightning P2P off-ramps, merchants taking sats, or just time and education? 2026-10-19T12:48:38Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs0k5cajkg3ust4ve8zewgtgc0qu7y57zl9q9mt0wtj207cqr3v68czyzladl4h36jat2c02utmqj38fq8u33kg4tzwltm44dq5aj850aflzxqwpfj Hello Nostr 👋<br/><br/>I&#39;m Precious, a Bitcoin learner from Aba, Nigeria.

Lightning is almost unknown, so I&#39;m learning it myself and showing friends and family how sats move in seconds for almost nothing.<br/><br/>Happy to answer anything about how Bitcoin is really used on the ground in Nigeria.
