Crypto markets are ending the week on a surprisingly strong note. Despite massive options expiry pressure today, Bitcoin held steady.

Leaving Nigeria was inspired by my parents, who were looking for different opportunities to raise their kids. At the time, I think they felt the political situation in Nigeria was very challenging, and they wanted to seek an opportunity for their children to have different paths in life.
