AloisKöhle explains how you can start making money from cryptocurrency
With everything that is happening in our world today, cryptocurrency is becoming an increasingly favored investment choice, as experts turn away from traditional markets to look towards the future. Since its inception, crypto has taken the world by storm with its unique and decentralized structure, allowing for improvements in our overall economic system. Crypto is an excellent investment, and here, AloisKöhle shares five reasons you should start trading in crypto today.
A diverse entrepreneur from Vienna, Austria, AloisKöhle set his sights on real estate, online marketing, and crypto. “The world is changing rapidly,” states Alois. “It’s important to embrace what is new and available as we seek returns on the new world ahead of us, instead of clinging on to the past.” According to Alois, crypto is an excellent option today for all investors. You just have to know why and what you are doing
1. Availability
“Cryptocurrency can be traded 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” says Alois. “You don’t have to wait for markets to open, and transactions are directly made between individuals with no middlemen involved.”
2. Safer Alternative
“As experts predict further stock market crashes and fluctuations, cryptocurrency may present a safer investment strategy due to its independence,” explains Alois. “Crypto flourished after the 2008 stock market crash, and experts are predicting it will continue to do the same.”
3. High Liquidity
“Liquidity is important in any investment, and that is what makes crypto so appealing,” states Alois. “The more liquid the asset is, the easier it is to use, and the ease at which you can buy and sell crypto promotes high liquidity.”
4. Volatility
“People see volatility and immediately run away, but crypto’s volatility actually makes it a great investment option because it promotes unbelievable growth and high returns,” explains Alois. “It’s just about ensuring you have the right risk management strategy to complement your investments.”
5. Straightforwardness
“With crypto, there is no paperwork, there are no banks and no threshold on how much money you need to play,” says Alois. “Its structure is relatively simple and represents an opportunity for investors without the entry barriers of traditional investments.”
AloisKöhle understands that cryptocurrency might seem intimidating to the new investor at first, but by knowing these five truths, anyone can get into crypto-trading successfully.
The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced the commencement of enforcement of the National Identity Register (Amendment) Regulations, 2026 (L.I. 2523), warning institutions that fail to comply with the new requirements of possible fines of up to 2,000 penalty units.
The Authority says it will deploy a Biometric Verification Implementation Task Force to inspect institutions and ensure they comply with the regulations, following the expiration of a three-month grace period granted to businesses and public institutions.
Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on Monday, November 2, 2026, the NIA’s Corporate Affairs representative, William Ampomah Emmanuel Darlas, said the Authority had completed its public education and stakeholder engagement activities and was now moving into the enforcement and compliance monitoring phase.
He explained that the regulations require institutions that verify the identities of customers or applicants as part of their operations to use the NIA’s approved biometric verification platform instead of relying solely on visual inspection of the Ghana Card.
Under the new rules, institutions are prohibited from photocopying, scanning or keeping copies of the Ghana Card for identity verification purposes.
Mr Darlas stressed that simply collecting a customer’s Ghana Card, looking at the photograph and comparing it with the person presenting it would no longer be accepted as a valid method of identity verification.
He, however, clarified that the Ghana Card remains the country’s official national identity document and that citizens are not required to register for a new card or capture their biometrics again under the new regulations.
He said the new system is intended to reduce identity fraud, impersonation and other crimes by ensuring that the person presenting the Ghana Card is the actual owner.
According to him, the biometric verification process will rely on information already captured during Ghana Card registration, including fingerprints, iris details and facial features stored in the card’s chip.
Mr Darlas warned institutions against using third-party companies or individuals to access the NIA’s identity verification platform, insisting that the Authority does not work with intermediaries.
He said institutions seeking access to the National Identity Register must deal directly with the NIA and complete its official onboarding process.
The process requires institutions to prove that they are legally registered companies in Ghana, obtain certification from the Data Protection Commission and work with the NIA’s technical team to establish the necessary connection to its platform.
He further cautioned institutions already connected to the platform against subletting their access to other businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises.
He disclosed that the Authority had received reports of some institutions providing their verification services to other businesses without the NIA’s approval and warned that those involved would face legal action.
Mr Darlas said organisations that fail to comply with L.I. 2523 could face fines ranging from 500 to 2,000 penalty units, depending on the nature of the offence.
He explained that the NIA does not have the authority to impose the fines directly but would take offenders to court for the appropriate punishment.
He indicated that Institutions found guilty could also face additional administrative measures, including being barred from accessing the NIA’s verification platform in the future.
The NIA representative further clarified that the new regulations do not prohibit all institutions from physically using the Ghana Card during transactions.
The Managing Director of the Ghana Publishing Company Limited, Nana Kwesi Boatey, has revealed how he transformed a major overstaffing challenge into a success story through the government’s 24-Hour Economy initiative.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Monday, November 2, Mr. Boatey disclosed that when he assumed office in February 2025, and inherited a bloated workforce of 250 employees doing work that could be efficiently handled by 150 people, a situation that created serious liquidity challenges for the state-owned company.
Instead of resorting to downsizing, he adopted an innovative approach by instituting a 24-hour operational system.
Under the new system, staff were redistributed across three shifts: 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., 10 a.m. – 7 p.m., and 10 p.m. – 4:30 a.m.
This not only ensured optimal use of labour but also maximized machine utilization and improved overall output.
According to him, the single move redefined the productivity culture within the company, reinforcing discipline, accountability, and efficiency.
The Ghana Publishing Company’s turnaround is being cited as a practical example of how the 24-Hour Economy policy can drive growth without job losses.
