How It All Started
Bitcoin started trending in Nigeria in 2016 because of the infamous MMM Ponzi scheme, which promised to pay investors 30% monthly return alongside other mouthwatering bonuses on fiat and bitcoin investments.
The scheme was launched in 2015 and described itself as a “mutual aid fund where ordinary people help each other,” mostly the unemployed in the country. According to reports, more than 2.5 million Nigerians were registered in the scheme by late 2016.
In 2017, its operators pulled an exit scam, leaving a great many in financial ruins and debts.
