Another angle where you talk, where me, I pick up on our networking. Good. I'm learning, and then you talk, Yes, you suppose go for some of these events. I don't see weightings and security, they try for inside this space. They need to, they need information to move forward. People learn more, most as they exposes, they engage. Thank you for that. I beg. Make I get honor of our host questions, I go continue. So this question goes to Keso or any other person who is fit like answer them. What is Bitcoin in a nutshell? And how do Bitcoin work? Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. On my own side, I think Keso, you fit take them. Thanks. Okay. That question about what is bitcoin. Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency. In a nutshell, what it means and its peer to peer transaction without middleman. Now, it derives its name from two words. Bit, which means unit of information in computer and coin. So it's simply means bit and coin. It's a virtual currency on a distributed ledger called blockchain. So that is just a summary of what bitcoin is. All right. Good. Thank you very much for that. All right. Thank you. So, host, good question or make I drop our follow up question? Oh, yeah, you drop the follow up question. Good. We were just explaining how bitcoin they were for human being, like how does this software work for you? Okay. You can take it, Keso, please. Yeah. How does bitcoin work? How bitcoin takes the work now? Bitcoin blockchain, the way it's based, they push the bitcoin transaction into blocks. It's structured as a chain of blocks. So when you send a transaction, the transaction will be verified by every node. This node validate the transaction, that the transaction is verified as authentic and legit. After the transaction is verified, miners can now compete to add the transaction into a block by solving a typical puzzle called proof of work. So the first miners will get the proof of work correctly and go add the transaction into a block and will propagate that block across the network. So after the block is added to the general blockchain, the transaction will be added and completed. So all this is happening within minutes. That is just a summary of how bitcoin works. All right. Thank you. I like that. Nice one. So I beg, make I get to follow up questions. How can someone like me take fit begin deal with bitcoin? Thank you, Yeah, Sandra, you feel taken? Oh, basically. Okay. So the first one, if you want start to deal with bitcoin, first, I would always advise you to get what they call bitcoin wallet. Now, after you get the wallet, if it's a mobile wallet, which you do online and offline, so get your online mobile wallet, you can register through various exchanges like bounty, luna Cardano, some other centralized exchange. Once you do that, you will now get wallets, bitcoin wallet. Then once you get the bitcoin wallet, the first thing you have to do is buy your bitcoin. Because you have to buy bitcoin first before you can own bitcoin. You can now start to change transaction, send bitcoin through that wallet address to another address. Start receiving transaction depending on the form of business or service so you would like to render, make people pay you for that service using bitcoin. Then the transaction will be verified through the blockchain. In a nutshell, I think this is just a breakdown of how you can own bitcoin. All right. Thank you. Thank you. I think because of time, I better ask honorable host how we go relate with bitcoin, whether we go continue the question or how we do. But before I ask you to go, I say this one is for you. I do this interpretation. You can talk a bit about the DeFi ecosystem so far in Nigeria and how does it unlock opportunities for the youth? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Osa. Like I would always talk about the ecosystem for the financial system in Nigeria over the years and all over the world, It is trying to focus towards technology advancement, various opportunities abound for the youth. Most of the things, one we noticed, be said, over the time we rely on centralized finance system to do most of the platform now, based on blockchain technology. You don't see technological advancements where they go on to decentralized financial application. Many finance all over the world are driving the DeFi system, we get a lot of loan protocol, we get decentralized insurance protocol, we get lending protocol, yield farming staking and this one be said, you don’t need any insurance for you to get loan to do your business, to yield. In fact, as a youth as you deal with this, if you put your mind get focus, you get more opportunities to learn and get knowledge about this blockchain technology we did for on top decentralized financial ecosystem. Because of the way government don't treat their own regulation on top of this technology, I believe with that said, many youths will join this ecosystem and create job opportunities for themselves. At least it will bring wealth. Now, they build them smart contract, they build them on solidity for Ethereum, other chains like coordination and so many others. So I believe in a summary, like said this will make you try to understand some of us with your career for inside this technology finance sector, and they tap many more opportunities for the youthful them and for even those who feed leverage on this ecosystem. I believe, within the decentralized financial ecosystem, many youths will be able to sustain and create wealth for themselves and tap more knowledge about the system, yeah. All right. Thank you so much, Osa. Okay. All right. Thank you for that. Okay, I guess make me conclude because for time, for every ten, follow which we build and all that, so I go shift the back now to the honorable host to help us round up. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Um thank you very much. I don't say you get one question we pass around and see where one person in the audience asks, asking if a person fit get pension with bitcoin. So we go just address some, I address some honorable host if it round up. Thank you. Okay, I think any of the speakers, okay, like someone like Sander can address that speak on that. Yeah, thank you. Okay, have you answer honorable host. Okay so basic for now, but we did better feed. So be your pension good in bitcoin. So they do secondary pension because we do primary because of regulation. So now secondary pension we do so fee make sure say your you receive your pension in bitcoin. So if we talk on how we feel on board you and then video carry you go for the better piece of it. So for never go like full public for nana beta we use certain people, they test how we take and perfect the product. So now today to be that, yeah, so now where we are currently, hopefully in the next 510 years go a regulation will allow your primary pension to go direct to bitcoin, but for now you do secondary and optional pension. All right, thank you, thank you so much. All right, thank you for that onions man. And I guess now all the questions we will give you that. So I appreciate everybody who joined this space, I appreciate our speakers like I talked before, follow them, you know, follow us and join us again by the same time next week, the same place for an ever thought, engaging topic.
