Trading bitcoins
Buying and selling bitcoins is probably the fastest and easiest way to try and make some money with bitcoin.

(Out of that only about 16 million is in circulation now, as the rest are continually being mined). With bitcoin you can invest for the future. For Nigerians, Bitcoin can serve as a high profit investment, due to the behavior of the Nigerian Naira in the foreign exchange market.
Last year 5 Bitcoins was worth $1,000, because each Bitcoin was about $200. The equivalent naira rate for 5 Bitcoins was about #220,00 because each dollar was worth #220 on the black market. Fast forward a year later, the same number of Bitcoins now worth about $2,915 since the value of each bitcoin has gone up from $200 to about $583, and the equivalent naira rate for 5 Bitcoins would now be #1,078,550. Can you imagine the profit margin.
