"100 Burning Crypto Questions Nigerians Ask — All Answered”

Curious about crypto in Nigeria?

Here’s my complete 2025/2026 guide answering the top 100 questions Nigerians ask — from legality, security, trading, to earning. Stay, read, and profit.

Introduction & My Crypto Story

Crypto—some see it as magic, others as madness.

To you, crypto might just be that thing your friend keeps talking about, sending screenshots, raving about MoonShots.

But here’s the raw truth: when I first got into online marketing and digital hustling, I used to ignore crypto.

I thought it was for geeks.

Then in 2021, while building my first small e-commerce business (in Taraba State), I lost ₦50,000 to a fake crypto “investment” someone shared in a WhatsApp group.

That pain burned in me.

So I resolved: I

’ll learn crypto deeply — from basics to advanced — not just to avoid losing money, but so I can teach, consult, and build a profitable business in Nigeria’s market.

Since then, I’ve read whitepapers, joined crypto communities in Lagos & Abuja, tried exchanges, built P2P flows, and yes — started offering crypto-consulting and P2P agency services via IbiFoundry.

This post is the result of that journey.

I’ll answer 100 real questions Nigerians ask (some you didn’t even know you wanted to ask).

And when I mention tools, platforms, or services, you’ll see affiliate links or offerings from IbiFoundry itself (yes, we’ll monetize this together).

So tighten your seatbelt — here we go.

Basics / Definitions

1. What is cryptocurrency?

🔥💪🏾 Love it! You chose A — Full Writing Mode.

Let’s dive straight into it....

SECTION 1: CRYPTO BASICS & CONCEPTS

1. What exactly is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency (or “crypto”) is simply digital money — money that lives on the internet and isn’t controlled by any government or bank.

Unlike your naira that’s printed by CBN, crypto runs on a system called blockchain, which is like a global computer network where every transaction is recorded transparently.

You can send ₦10,000 worth of Bitcoin to someone in the U.S. without needing a bank, card, or approval from anybody.

👉🏾 Example: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and USDT are all cryptocurrencies.

💡 If you want to buy your first crypto safely in Nigeria, use Ibi-P2P — our trusted peer-to-peer service where verified Nigerians trade safely without scams.

2. What is blockchain?

Think of blockchain like a public ledger — a record book that everyone can see, but no one can change without others noticing.

Every crypto transaction (who sent what to who, when, and how much) is recorded in “blocks,” and these blocks are linked together — that’s why it’s called block-chain.

Each block is secured with cryptography, meaning nobody can secretly change what’s inside.

That’s why blockchain is considered one of the safest systems online today.

💡 Simple example: When you buy Bitcoin, your transaction is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain forever. It can’t be deleted, faked, or reversed.

3. What’s the difference between a coin and a token?

Both coins and tokens are types of crypto, but there’s a small difference:

• 🪙 Coin: Has its own blockchain (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana).

• 💎 Token: Built on another blockchain (e.g. USDT built on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Tron).

You can think of tokens as “apps” running on bigger blockchains.

💡 Tip: If you’re new, start by learning coins first before dealing with tokens — they’re more stable.

4. What is a wallet in crypto?

Your crypto wallet is where you keep your cryptocurrencies safely — like a digital bank account.

It allows you to send, receive, and store your coins.

There are two main types:

• 🔐 Hot wallet: Online (e.g. Trust Wallet, MetaMask)

• ❄️ Cold wallet: Offline (e.g. Ledger, Trezor)

💡 IbiFoundry helps Nigerians set up secure wallets and recover lost accounts.

5. What is a private key and a public key?

When you create a crypto wallet, you get two things:

• Public key: Like your account number — you can share it.

• Private key: Like your password or ATM PIN — keep it secret.

If someone gets your private key, they can steal your crypto — and you can’t reverse it.

🔒 Safety tip: Never share your private key or seed phrase. Not even with someone claiming to be “support.”

6. What is mining in crypto?

Mining means using computers to verify transactions and secure the blockchain.

In Bitcoin’s case, miners compete to solve complex puzzles.

When they succeed, they get rewarded with new bitcoins.

It’s like being paid to help keep the Bitcoin network running.

However, mining consumes electricity and requires powerful computers — not ideal for most Nigerians.

💡 Alternative: You can earn by staking, which is like mining but easier.

Keep reading below 👇🏾

7. What is staking?

Staking is when you lock up your crypto (like Ethereum or Cardano) to help run a blockchain network and, in return, you earn rewards.

It’s similar to saving money in a fixed deposit and earning interest — except this time it’s digital.

💰 Example: You can stake 10 ADA and earn small daily rewards.

💡 IbiFoundry is launching a beginner staking tutorial soon — join our newsletter to learn how to stake safely.

Join here.

8. What is a smart contract?

Smart contracts are computer programs that run automatically when certain conditions are met.

For example, if you send 1 ETH to buy an NFT, a smart contract ensures you get the NFT automatically — no middleman needed.

They make crypto trustworthy because everything runs by code.

9. What is decentralization?

Decentralization means no single person or company controls the system.

For example:

• Banks = centralized (CBN controls naira)

• Bitcoin = decentralized (nobody controls it, the network runs it)

That’s the beauty of crypto — it gives power back to the people.

💡 IbiFoundry offers free webinars on decentralized systems and how Nigerians can build on Web3. 

Click to register.

10. What is Web3?

Web3 is the next evolution of the internet, built on blockchain.

Instead of logging into Facebook or TikTok, you’ll connect directly with apps through your crypto wallet — no middlemen, no data theft.

Web3 gives you ownership of your digital identity, money, and content.

💡 Example: You can sell art as NFTs, lend crypto, or own parts of online games.

11. What are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that maintain a stable value — usually pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Examples:

• USDT (Tether)

• USDC (USD Coin)

• BUSD (Binance USD)

1 USDT = roughly 1 USD in 2025 Today.

They’re great for saving value in crypto without worrying about price fluctuations.

💰 You can buy or sell USDT instantly using Ibi-P2P — zero fake sellers, zero stress.

Start trading.

12. What is an exchange?

An exchange is a platform where you can buy, sell, or trade crypto — just like a market.

Two types exist:

• Centralized (CEX): Binance, Coinbase, Quidax

• Decentralized (DEX): Uniswap, PancakeSwap

💡 IbiFoundry partners with verified exchanges to make your first trade simple and safe. See our list of recommended exchanges.

13. What is gas fee?

Gas fee is a small charge you pay when performing transactions on blockchain.

For example, when sending ETH, you pay a gas fee to reward the computers verifying your transaction.

Gas fees change based on network demand.

When everyone is active, it’s higher.

💡 Tip: For cheaper fees, try using Polygon or BSC networks.

14. What is airdrop in crypto?

Airdrops are free token giveaways by crypto projects to attract users.

You may just need to register, complete a task, or use their app.

💡 Join IbiFoundry Airdrop Alerts — we notify Nigerians of verified airdrops weekly so you don’t fall for scams.

Join here.

15. What is the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Both are powerful blockchains but serve different purposes:

• Bitcoin: Digital money — store of value, decentralized currency.

• Ethereum: A blockchain for building apps, NFTs, and smart contracts.

Think of Bitcoin like digital gold, and Ethereum like a digital internet computer.

💡 At IbiFoundry Academy, we teach the full difference in our “Crypto Foundations Course.” Enroll here.

💰 SECTION 3: BUYING, SELLING & P2P TRADING IN NIGERIA

This section breaks down how Nigerians can buy, sell, and trade crypto safely — whether you’re new or already deep in the game.

Let’s go question by question 👇🏾

26. How can I buy cryptocurrency in Nigeria safely?

Buying crypto safely in Nigeria comes down to two things:

1. Use a trusted platform.

2. Never send crypto to random people on WhatsApp or Telegram.

Your safest options are:

• Ibi P2P: A Nigerian-built, people-to-people crypto marketplace where you can buy Bitcoin, USDT, or Ethereum directly from verified traders.

• Binance P2P or Bybit: International platforms — good but sometimes delay naira withdrawals.

• Ibi Wallet: Designed for Nigerians. Buy, store, and sell easily with local bank connections.

💡 Buy your first crypto safely today — open a free Ibi-Wallet and trade on Ibi P2P, Nigeria’s No. 1 homegrown exchange.

27. Where can I sell my crypto for cash in Nigeria?

You can sell your crypto on:

• Ibi P2P: Instantly converts your crypto to naira via verified buyers.

• Ibi Wallet: Lets you withdraw funds directly to your bank account.

• Or via OTC (over-the-counter) deals — but this is riskier unless it’s with someone you know personally.

Always confirm payment before releasing crypto.

⚠️ Pro tip: On Ibi P2P, your funds are held in escrow until you confirm payment — meaning zero scam chance.

💡 Want to sell fast and safely?

Click here to sell your crypto now via Ibi P2P.

28. What is P2P crypto trading and how does it work?

P2P means peer-to-peer trading — buying or selling crypto directly with another person, not through a centralized exchange.

Here’s how it works:

1. You find a verified buyer/seller on Ibi P2P.

2. You both agree on price.

3. Buyer sends naira to your bank.

4. Escrow releases crypto automatically once payment is confirmed.

No middlemen, no unnecessary fees.

💡 Trade peer-to-peer with peace of mind using Ibi P2P, Nigeria’s safest crypto marketplace.

Start trading now.

29. Which P2P platform is best in Nigeria?

30. How do I avoid getting scammed while buying crypto?

Nigeria is full of “investment bros” promising to double your Bitcoin overnight — avoid them like potholes on Third Mainland Bridge 😅.

Here’s how to stay safe:

• Never trade outside verified platforms.

• Always check the trader’s rating and history.

• Never confirm payment before you actually receive money.

• Don’t click random links or “airdrops.”

⚠️ Scam alert: Any platform that says “invest ₦20k to earn ₦100k in 7 days” is a lie.

💡 Use IbiFoundry’s Anti-Scam Tool to check any crypto wallet or site before using it.

Run a scam check now.

31. Can I use my Nigerian bank account to buy crypto?

Yes — indirectly.

While banks still can’t trade crypto directly, they allow you to pay verified merchants through P2P platforms like Ibi P2P.

💡 Ready to buy?

Log in to Ibi P2P, choose your payment method, and buy safely.

32. What’s the cheapest way to buy USDT in Nigeria?

The cheapest and most stable option is P2P trading on Ibi P2P — because it removes exchange markups.

💡 Get the best USDT rate in Nigeria today — check Ibi P2P live rates.

🪙 Section 4: Understanding Different Cryptocurrencies

So many Nigerians jump into crypto without knowing what they’re really buying.

Let’s fix that — simple explanations, real talk, and practical Nigerian context 👇🏾

36. What is Bitcoin and why is it valuable?

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most popular cryptocurrency in the world.

It was created in 2009 by an anonymous person known as Satoshi Nakamoto — as a decentralized digital money that doesn’t need banks or governments to operate.

Why it’s valuable:

• Limited supply (only 21 million BTC will ever exist).

• People trust it more than inflation-prone naira.

• It’s borderless — you can send ₿1 to someone in China or Kaduna instantly.

💡 Buy Bitcoin safely in Nigeria via Ibi P2P or store it securely in your Ibi-Wallet. Buy BTC now.

37. What is Ethereum (ETH)?

Ethereum (ETH) is like Bitcoin’s younger but smarter brother.

While Bitcoin focuses on money, Ethereum allows you to build smart contracts, apps, and even NFTs.

For Nigerians, ETH is useful for:

• Creating Web3 apps

• Participating in DeFi (decentralized finance)

• Investing in new tokens

💡Start exploring Ethereum and other altcoins on Ibi Wallet. Create a wallet.

38. What is USDT (Tether)?

USDT, also called Tether, is a stablecoin — meaning it’s pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.

So 1 USDT ≈ ₦1,700 (depending on the market).

It doesn’t fluctuate like Bitcoin — that’s why Nigerians love it for saving value.

It’s perfect if you want to:

• Store your money safely in dollars

• Avoid naira depreciation

• Send money abroad

💡 Convert your naira to USDT instantly using Ibi Wallet. Swap to USDT.

39. What is BNB and what is it used for?

BNB is the official coin of Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges.

It’s used to pay lower fees, join crypto projects, and stake in the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem.

For Nigerians, BNB is a great coin for trading and staking — it’s fast, low-fee, and widely accepted.

💡 You can trade BNB directly from your Ibi Wallet or swap between BNB and USDT easily. Start trading BNB.

40. What is Pi Network and is it real?

Ah, Pi Network — Nigerians’ favorite “crypto-to-be.” 😅

Here’s the truth:

Pi is a mobile-mined token that started in 2019, but it’s still not fully listed on global exchanges (as of 2025).

It’s real in the sense that millions of people mine it, but you can’t yet withdraw or trade Pi freely.

However, projects like IbiFoundry are preparing P2P marketplaces to let Nigerians buy and sell Pi when it goes live.

💡Want to sell Pi safely when it launches? Ibi P2P will be among the first Nigerian platforms to support Pi trading. Pre-register here.

41. What’s the difference between coins and tokens?

• Coins have their own blockchain (like Bitcoin or Ethereum).

• Tokens are built on another coin’s blockchain (like Shiba Inu built on Ethereum).

Think of it like this:

👉🏾 Bitcoin = an original house.

👉🏾 Tokens = tenants renting a room inside that house.

💡Use Ibi Wallet’s explorer to learn what blockchain your token is built on. Try it free.

42. Which cryptocurrencies are best for beginners in Nigeria?

If you’re new to crypto, start simple.

The safest beginner portfolio looks like this:

• 🟡 40% Bitcoin (store of value)

• 🟣 30% USDT (stablecoin savings)

• 🔵 20% Ethereum (for DeFi & NFTs)

• 🟢 10% BNB or Solana (growth coins)

Avoid meme coins until you understand the market.

💡 Open a free Ibi Wallet and we’ll auto-create a beginner-friendly crypto portfolio for you. Get started.

43. What are meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu?

Meme coins started as jokes but turned into billion-dollar communities.

• Dogecoin (DOGE): Started as a meme in 2013, now accepted for real transactions.

• Shiba Inu (SHIB): Ethereum-based meme coin with massive hype.

While they can pump fast, they can also crash overnight.

So invest small — and only money you can afford to lose.

💡 Want to learn how to trade meme coins smartly? Join IbiFoundry’s free crypto risk management class. Register here.

44. What is a stablecoin and why do Nigerians love it?

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to a stable asset like the US dollar or gold.

Examples: USDT, USDC, BUSD.

Nigerians love stablecoins because:

• They hold value better than naira.

• They’re easy for cross-border payments.

• They let freelancers and businesses receive international payments faster.

💡 Store your income in USDT or USDC using Ibi Wallet and protect your earnings from inflation. Create wallet now.

45. What’s the next big cryptocurrency to invest in 2025?

Predictions vary — but these are looking hot for Nigerians:

49. What is staking and how does it work?

Staking means locking your crypto to help support a blockchain — and you get paid rewards in return.

Think of it like putting your money in a bank’s fixed deposit, but this time it’s on-chain and more transparent.

Example:

If you stake 100 BNB for 12 months, you might earn around 5–10 BNB in rewards.

💡 Stake your tokens confidently on Ibi Wallet, Nigeria’s first user-friendly staking dashboard.

Stake now.

50. What is yield farming?

Yield farming is when you lend or stake crypto in DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platforms to earn interest or new tokens.

It’s higher risk than staking but gives higher returns.

For example, you can lend USDT in a liquidity pool and earn 15–30% APR.

But be careful — many fake platforms exist.

💡 Join IbiFoundry DeFi Circle to learn safe yield farming strategies for Nigerians. Join free.

• Buy $100 worth of USDT at ₦1,680 on Ibi P2P

• Sell the same at ₦1,720 on another platform

• Profit = ₦4,000+ instantly.

Thousands of Nigerians are quietly doing this daily.

You need one because crypto isn’t stored in banks — you are the bank.

No wallet, no access.

67. Which crypto wallet is best for Nigerians in 2025?

Here are my top picks:

• Ibi Wallet 🏆 – built for Nigerians (P2P + Naira conversion + easy recovery)

• Trust Wallet – great for mobile use

• MetaMask – best for web3 and NFTs

• Ledger Nano X – if you want to store big money safely offline

💡 CTA: Download Ibi Wallet — simple, secure, and made for Naija users. Get started free.

68. How do I protect my wallet from hackers?

Naija or abroad, hackers no dey sleep 😭

Here’s what you must do:

• Use 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

• Never share your recovery phrase

• Avoid clicking random “airdrop” or “investment” links

• Only download wallets from official app stores or websites

• Keep your phone updated and use a strong password

💡 CTA: Enable full security mode in your Ibi Wallet Settings — advanced PIN, 2FA & backup recovery. Secure your wallet.

69. What is a recovery phrase?

Your recovery phrase (also called seed phrase) is the master key to your crypto.

Usually 12 or 24 words, generated when you create a new wallet.

Lose it = lose your funds forever.

Share it = thief go clear your account instantly.

💡 CTA: Learn how to protect your seed phrase properly — free guide from IbiFoundry Crypto School. Read guide.

70. What should I do if I lose my crypto wallet password?

If you forgot your wallet password, you can recover it only if you still have your recovery phrase.

Simply reinstall the wallet app and restore using your seed phrase.

If you don’t have it — sorry o, the funds are gone for good 😢

💡 CTA: Backup your Ibi Wallet now — we store encrypted recovery access for emergencies. Activate backup.

71. Can I recover my crypto if I’m scammed?

In most cases, no — once the transaction is confirmed on blockchain, it can’t be reversed.

But you can:

• Report to EFCC cybercrime unit or Interpol Nigeria

• Track transactions using blockchain explorers

• Raise awareness to prevent others from falling victim

💡 CTA: Stay scam-proof — join IbiFoundry Crypto Watch newsletter for latest scam alerts in Nigeria. Subscribe here.

72. Are Nigerian crypto wallets safe?

Yes — as long as they’re licensed, encrypted, and transparent.

That’s why Ibi Wallet is fully compliant with Nigerian cybersecurity standards.

Always avoid “fast money” or “Ponzi” wallet apps that appear overnight.

💡 CTA: Open your verified Ibi Wallet — Nigerian-made, CBN-compliant, 100% secure. Create wallet.

73. How can I backup my crypto wallet safely?

Here’s the Naija-proven way:

• Write your recovery phrase on paper (don’t screenshot!)

• Store copies in two safe locations

• Don’t share it with anyone — not even family 😅

• If you use Ibi Wallet, you can enable encrypted cloud backup.

💡 CTA: Backup your Ibi Wallet now in seconds — never lose access again. Backup now.

74. How can I tell if a wallet app is fake?

Red flags 🚩 to watch out for:

• App not on Google Play or Apple Store

• Promises “daily earnings” or “ROI” 😭

• Forces you to send crypto before setup

• No reviews or official website

If you’re unsure, just use Ibi Wallet or other verified ones like Trust or MetaMask.

💡 CTA: Verify any crypto app instantly on Ibi Security Checker Tool. Try tool.

75. What happens if my phone is stolen? Can they access my wallet?

If your wallet app is PIN or password protected, they can’t access it.

But if they somehow unlock your phone, you’re in danger — unless your wallet uses 2FA or biometric security.

So:

1. Enable biometric login

2. Activate remote device lock

3. Use Ibi Wallet’s auto-lock on logout feature

💡 Activate biometric protection on your Ibi Wallet for instant safety. Turn it on.
