He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Since its launch, a total of N8 billion, consisting of over 700,000 transactions has passed through the eNaira platform.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Based on the current exchange rate, 8 billion nairas is equivalent to $18.2 million, or $49,800 daily.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Bitcoin's daily transaction count currently comes in at <a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/indicators\/bitcoin_transactions_per_day\">257,467<\/a>.

He continued by referring to CBDCs as a tool of enslavement.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that the mechanics of CBDCs infringe on personal privacy and leave citizens vulnerable to tyrannical leadership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickGiambruno\/status\/1587910531234553856\">Giambruno<\/a> said Nigerians regard the eNaira as &#8220;a symbol of distrust in the ruling elite&#8221; and congratulated the rejection of it, adding that this is a positive development for human freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Nigerians chimed in on the comments saying the eNaira's flop was
