Daniel Regha’s Shocking Choice: A Perfect CGPA Over N800M in Bitcoin Riches!
Imagine standing at a crossroads where one path leads to a shiny academic trophy - a perfect 5.0 CGPA and the other to a jaw-dropping N800 million in Bitcoin. Most people would sprint toward the cash, right? Not Daniel Regha, Nigeria’s boldest and most polarizing X personality. In a move that’s set the internet ablaze, Regha declared he’d pick a 5.0 CGPA over 5 Bitcoins, worth a staggering sum that could buy luxury cars, mansions, or a lifetime of comfort. The statement, dropped on X on June 3, 2025, has sparked a firestorm of reactions, memes, and debates, leaving everyone asking: Is Daniel Regha a genius or just plain out of touch?
For those who don’t know, Daniel Regha is no stranger to controversy. With over a million followers on X, this Anambra-born social media critic has built a reputation for his hot takes, often ending his spicy posts with a cheeky “no offense.” From calling out celebrities like Davido and Burna Boy to weighing in on everything from politics to pop culture, Regha’s voice is loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore. But this time, his latest opinion has pushed the internet into a frenzy, with fans and foes alike dissecting his choice like it’s the plot twist of the year.
In his now-viral X post, Regha wrote, “I will choose 5.0 CGPA over 5 Bitcoins though; Crypto fluctuates but CGPA doesn’t. And anyone who’s able to get 5.0 (by themself) is smart enough to be unstoppable.” The logic? A perfect CGPA is a stable, lifelong achievement that showcases intellect and grit, while Bitcoin’s value swings like a pendulum in a storm. At the time, 5 Bitcoins were reportedly worth over N800 million, a fortune that could transform anyone’s life. Yet, Regha stood firm, doubling down in a follow-up post: “Many of you won’t even choose BTC over becoming a Tech expert, but can choose BTC over a solid CGPA; Without knowing what field? OK.” Cue the chaos.
The internet didn’t hold back. X users flooded the platform with reactions, ranging from savage roasts to reluctant admiration. @YKoluwaseun9 didn’t mince words, tweeting, “Daniel Regha said he’ll choose 5.0 CGPA over 5btc, Werey don sign lifetime contract with povertý.” Ouch! Meanwhile, @Crypto4bailout took a jab, saying, “The same you that constantly complain about bad governance is choosing 5.0 CGPA over 5 Bitcoin. Comment readers association, if you like choose 5.0 over 5 Btc I will be here to televise your struggling.” The shade was real, with some users joking that Regha’s choice was a one-way ticket to “broke scholar vibes.”
But not everyone was throwing punches. Some defended Regha’s perspective, arguing that a 5.0 CGPA in a high-demand field like medicine or engineering could open doors to long-term wealth and stability. One user, @Iamjosephyna, posed a thought-provoking question: “Daniel Regha says he will always choose 5.0 CGPA over 5 Bitcoin. Would you be like Daniel Regha when you grow up?” The post racked up thousands of likes, with replies split between those who saw Regha as a visionary prioritizing knowledge and others who thought he was out of his mind.
The drama didn’t stop there. @Asgartnd escalated the conversation, pointing out, “Daniel Regha claimed to chose 5.0 CGPA over 5 Bitcoins worth almost a Billion! 👀 Even Elon Musk no get 5.0 CGPA before becoming the richest man.” The comparison to Musk sent X into a meme fest, with users churning out hilarious images of Regha clutching a degree certificate while Bitcoin logos floated away. @DailySpillNaija summed up the mood perfectly: “X personality Daniel Regha prefers 5.0 CGPA over 5 BTC. That’s not the problem, the replies will kee you 🤣.”
So, why did Regha’s statement hit such a nerve? For one, it taps into a universal debate: knowledge versus wealth. In a country like Nigeria, where economic struggles are real and opportunities can feel scarce, N800 million is a life-altering sum. Bitcoin, despite its volatility, has made millionaires overnight, and stories of crypto riches flood social media. On the other hand, a 5.0 CGPA is a rare feat, symbolizing discipline and intellectual prowess. Regha’s argument that a brilliant mind can generate wealth over time isn’t wrong, but for many, it feels like a gamble when cold, hard cash is on the table.
The timing of Regha’s post adds another layer of intrigue. In June 2025, Bitcoin’s value was climbing, with predictions from sources like Coinpedia suggesting it could hit $127,000 or more by year’s end. Five Bitcoins at that price point align with Regha’s N800 million estimate, give or take exchange rate fluctuations. This context makes his choice even bolder or, to his critics, more baffling. Why bet on a degree when crypto could fund a private jet?
What’s fascinating is how Regha’s stance reflects his brand: unapologetically contrarian. This is the same guy who shaded Kai Cenat’s $2,800 donation to a Nigerian school as “not enough” and told Burna Boy his net worth was someone else’s pocket change. Regha thrives on stirring the pot, and this Bitcoin-versus-CGPA debate is peak Daniel Regha provocative, polarizing, and impossible to scroll past.
As the dust settles, the question remains: Is Daniel Regha a dreamer chasing timeless value, or is he out of touch with the realities of wealth in 2025? His defenders argue he’s betting on the power of education to unlock endless possibilities. His haters? They’re convinced he’s passing up a fortune for a piece of paper. One thing’s for sure: Regha’s got the internet talking, and that’s a currency all its own.
What would you choose - 5.0 CGPA or 5 Bitcoins? Drop your thoughts below, and let’s keep the drama alive!
