The Pandemic looked like a joke to us here In Nigeria around November/December 2019, it sounded unrealistic to most of us in Africa. We were getting news updates that there is an outbreak of the disease in China and it is killing fast. It was just like it is going to be a little outbreak and with the level of development in China, they will soon get a solution to it. Gradually, it spread over to Europe, Americans and all other continents. There were various rumours about the disease and its vector/cause, some say it’s a white skin people disease that cannot stand the weather in Africa. While some are saying it’s caused by the invention of the 5G network. The funniest one was the theory that the disease started from the Wuhan market in China where animals are sold. It was said that some bats visited there and transfer the disease to humans.
Nigeria recorded her first case in March 2020, ever since things haven’t been the same. The government on March 30th 2020 declared a lockdown session that lasted for the entire month of April. Immediately after the lockdown things were no longer the same for individuals and the nation collectively. The pandemic affected businesses, the education sector, health sector, exchange rate, sport, finance houses and even NGOs. My boss couldn’t pay his workers salaries for 6 months so he had to close down in November 2020 and relocated to Europe with his family. Since then I have been jobless and started practising farming in April this year.
In May @HappyBoy introduced me to noisecash and told me about Bitcoin cash. I never took it seriously, because I counted it to be a joke or a form of internet fraud we know as Yahoo Yahoo here in our country. Around mid-May when BCH rose to $1600, he ( @HappyBoy ) kept encouraging me and I started earning tips on noisecash and read cash simultaneously.
Now, this is how Bitcoin cash came to my rescue. My rent has expired since May ending and my landlord has been coming to ask for it. But I did all I could to raise the fund, my efforts were abortive. Yesterday was a public holiday, as early as 7 am he came knocking at my door, I was so embarrassed and I didn’t have a penny at hand. My mind went straight to my wallets where I have earned $144 in them. I quickly sold out the BCH which was half of the rent. Within 15mins I got my fiat transferred into my account, which I transferred into my landlord's account. I was saved from embarrassment and this made me show more interest in investing in BCH.
I pray I get a job soon and I'm more determined than ever to invest in Bitcoin cash. Though I somehow feel sad about the coin I sold. Because few years down the lane bitcoin cash will be worth more than it is today. Now the question is will you be prepared?. The current market price gives us all the opportunity to accumulate as much as we can. Bitcoin depends on investors and dogecoin depends on social media hype. Bitcoincash depends on its usage and the daily adoption by people and merchants, BCH looks like one of the few coins likely to rise again after this bear run.
The End.

Yess, noise cash and read cash is truly a blessing. I'm still new in these platforms and it makes me happy everytime I see a notification in my phone that I received some BCH🥰
