Here's something worth thinking about — that ₦800,000 taxable income threshold for crypto traders. But wait, how exactly do authorities track when someone crosses that line? Especially when the trader never touches a Nigerian exchange, never links a local bank account, and completely bypasses domestic payment gateways. It's a genuine enforcement puzzle. The regulation exists on paper, sure, but the practical monitoring mechanism? That's where things get interesting. If all your trading happens on offshore platforms with no KYC tied to Nigerian identity, the threshold becomes nearly impossible to enforce. Makes you wonder about the real-world applicability of such policies.

Honestly, the regulatory authorities' approach is just armchair strategy... Do they really think people are that naive? Using overseas platforms can easily outsmart the tax authority.

Speaking of the 800k threshold... can anyone really verify it? Offshore transactions are simply unavoidable.

The regulations of the NGL regulatory authorities are paper tigers, and it is really difficult to investigate

ngl the enforcement gap here is exactly why i stay paranoid about position sizing... been there when regulations caught people off-guard, and spoiler alert, it wasn't pretty. offshore doesn't mean safe forever, trust me on that one.

LOL, the gap between the policies written on paper by regulators and the real world... it's truly absurd.

This regulation is just empty talk on paper. If they really start investigating, it’s going to be a huge hassle...

To put it simply, what's written on paper is just what's written on paper... Offshore transactions are basically untraceable, and no matter how good the Nigerian government is at accounting, they still need data. Isn't this a typical case of "places beyond the reach of the law"?

Hmm... so the regulators are just talking on paper. Offshore transactions can't be tracked at all, so setting this threshold is basically pointless.

No, this regulation is really just a paper tiger... Who can actually track offshore transactions?
