When global funding mechanisms break down, the human cost becomes immediate and severe. The UN recently flagged that 35 million Nigerians face acute hunger risk following a massive collapse in international financial support. This isn't just a humanitarian headline—it signals deeper fractures in the global economic system.
Such crises typically cascade: weaker economies lose access to stabilizing capital inflows, currencies destabilize, and purchasing power evaporates. For crypto markets, these moments matter. During periods of financial system stress and currency debasement, decentralized assets often see renewed attention from both institutions and individuals seeking alternatives to failing fiat systems.
The funding collapse raises broader questions about the fragility of centralized financial infrastructure. As traditional aid channels dry up, it underscores why many are exploring parallel financial rails—whether through crypto assets, remittance channels, or decentralized finance solutions. The pattern repeats: economic instability drives crypto adoption.

This matter in Nigeria, to put it plainly, is a clear exposure of the fragility of the centralized financial system... 35 million people starving, and what this reflects is not just a humanitarian crisis, but a problem with the entire system design, right?

ngl That's why I've always said that the crypto world is not a casino but insurance 😅

What does this incident in Nigeria reveal? The centralized financial system is just a paper tiger; it collapses when it really matters... If it weren't for crypto this time, how would 350 million people survive?

This matter in Nigeria is essentially another nail in the coffin for centralized finance. It really has to rely on the on-chain system.

Watching 35 million people go hungry, on-chain data speaks volumes. When traditional finance collapses, African fiat currencies are directly finished. Only then do we realize why we need to prepare decentralized solutions. Historical backtests during currency devaluation show that during such crises, crypto attention typically increases by 34-47%, but the risk factor is also soaring.

I agree that centralized infrastructure is fragile, but don’t be too naive; crypto is not a silver bullet. It’s just that compared to a collapsing fiat system, at least on-chain data is transparent. Miner fees are higher, but it’s still better than government freezing accounts.

Economic collapse → getting into crypto, we’ve seen this cycle too many times. The problem is, every time someone ends up losing everything, I’ve been there too [dog head]. But honestly, this is actually a good opportunity to deeply research project fundamentals. Who cares about short-term fluctuations?

What does Nigeria’s situation tell us? It’s a hostage in a centralized world. I calculated yesterday that, based on purchasing power parity, this wave of devaluation arbitrage actually has quite interesting potential. But if you ask me whether I dare to go all-in? My stop-loss order is already set [dog head].
