My First Uptrennd Earning This is my entry for Navi organized contest. To start with, beyond earning 1UP, my first earning on Uptrennd is quality education and knowledge on interaction and organization in a forum. The fact you cannot upvote your own post irrespective of how good it is shows how much we need people to rate our works. With the acquired knowledge here, I've landed gigs outside Uptrennd that paid good money upon seeing my Uptrennd contents. I joined Uptrennd in…

Cryptocurrency in Nigeria When I heard the News Nigeria is the second largest country with Bitcoin adoption, at first, I wonder with the high rate of unbanked and rural dwellers in the country with little or no access to mobile telephony. On a second thought, I was happy Nigerians are embracing the financial freedom cryptocurrency affords them. Why won't Nigerians embrace cryptocurrency? A nation where minimum wage is less than $100 and over 70% of the populace lives below…
Omowumi is my Name Hello peeps, I'm Omowumi from Nigeria, a crypto enthusiast and a blogger. I am also an ambassador on Torum, a new crypto forum focused on cryptocurrency.

I also have a rabbit of the angora breed as a Pet too I work with the government of Nigeria as an environmental scientist and…
Torum replacing Faucets As a Nigerian getting into crypto, I was introduced to the world of faucets. I was claiming these Bitcoin and other alt coins faucets religiously hoping I can someday accumulate 1 Bitcoin. I outgrew the fantasy of earning 1 Bitcoin from fauceting but it became an hobby sort of for me to collect cryptos from faucets. Of all the faucets I worked, one stood out for me till date and that's Coinpot and it's Moon faucets. The faucets are; Bitcoin, Bitcoin…
Community Power on Torum Behind any cryptocurrency success, far above the analysis, is a community of firm believer in the project. Without the community, the project will end up abandoned. It is noteworthy to mention the Issues behind Steemit elected witnesses and Justin Sun during Steemit takeover, where it was alleged Justin Sun used Steem coins on Exchanges (Binance and Poloniex) to fight back electors influence and the subsequent birth of Hive. I believe any Crypto…
Coinmarketcap and it's issues with Tracking prices Remembered when we woke up to see 1UP price fictitiously at it's all time high on coinmarketcap? Well, it seems the problem is now a recurrent tradition on this cryptocurrency price aggregation site. coinmarketcap in it's erroneous price tracking today showed a coin that dislodged Ethereum briefly as the number two ranked crypto based on market capitalization. What in the world is Incent? Today, according to coinmarketcap,…
Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins. My Experience. It's no longer news that the exchange Altilly was hacked and traders fund stolen. The exchange claimed it cannot ascertained neither verify users balance and primarily depends on screenshot from users trying to claim their coins. I was a victim of this hack as over 20,000 1UP of mine was stolen in the hack. Remembered when Trust wallet (Unreliable Trust) showed the price of 1UP as $0.1? I woke up that day to see the new price and…
Aave DeFi Token It is no longer news that on September 26th, 20, Aave launched the mainnet of its governance platform and subsequently unveiled its very first Aave Improvement Proposals {AIP} for voting. Majority overwhemingly voted for Lend tokens to be fully converted to Aave and upon approval, Lend was converted to Aave on a ratio of 100 Lend to 1 Aave. Stani Kulechov in 2017 started EthLend platform with its native token as Lend. In 2018, Ethlend was renamed Aave which…
DeFiChain review (DeFi on Bitcoin) The traditional finance has failed and still failing many people due to many reasons that include; Compound cost due to activities of middle men, slow transactions, delay in cross border transactions and inaccessibility of financial institutions to majority of rural dwellers. In my State in Nigeria, aside the State capital, you can only see banking institutions in three other communities. To this end, people are beginning to embrace…
GasGain Whitepaper review (Cashback on your Ethereum gas fee) It's a known fact that one of the major drawback of trading ERC-20 tokens on DEXes is the issue of gas fees. It's so big a problem it once rocked Uptrennd, a crypto based social media that withdrawals of 1UP token from the site was frozen for some time. This problem equally permeates the DeFi space as most DeFi projects are built on Ethereum blockchain. It is said that, to make substantial profits from yield…
Promoting Bitcoincash adoption in Nigeria I saw a post in this forum asking for ways to push for Bitcoincash adoption in Africa, particularly in Nigeria and I'm impressed to see Bitcoincash striving to penetrate the African market. Bitcoincash was once popular in Nigeria when it was newly forked off Bitcoin Core chain but subsequent fighting over hash powers among major players, fork of Bitcoincash chain, Real Satoshi claim that degenerated into major centralized exchanges…
