For everyone, especially those in Nigeria who reside in relatively close proximity to Ibadan, this is an invitation to this year's first installation of the much acclaimed meetup; Blockchain Saturday (BCS). The vision of BCS was born out of a need to foster a symbiotic relationship between cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors whereby both can work together to launch potentially promising projects while maintaining the delicate balance between the technical know how of the former and the financial capabilities of the latter.

>Over the past couple of weeks, the crypto markets have experienced a persisting bout of sideways trading that didn’t allow for any major price action in the altcoin markets. Today, however, the typical crypto volatility returned in full force, sending most major altcoins and Bitcoin down significantly over the past 24-hour trading period. Today’s drop led most altcoins to break below their previously established support levels, which puts further losses in play in the near-term.**COLE PETERSEN, January 28th 2019**.

The seemingly unending bear market trends have created a great deal of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) in the minds of many. This notwithstanding, several people are still trading successfully and the crypto space is still full of opportunities in spite of bear markets. Imagine what would happen when eventually there is a sustained bull run. The ones who didn't give in to the FUD would definitely be at the greatest advantage to reap the financial rewards.

This meetup is aimed at sensitizing everyone about the amazing potentials available within the crytpo hemisphere. It is also an opportunity for networking and sharing ideas for sustainability and longevity, as well as an opportunity to educate newbies about the 'hows' and 'whens' of trading and investment in cryptocurrency. With sponsors like @Oracle-d, @Met, @Wls-africa among others, the meetup will definitely be an exciting time out where we'll be learning a great deal and there will be a whole lot of incentives and rewards for participants.
