Funding Your Trading Wallet

Analogy: Just like you need dollars to spend abroad, in crypto you need USDT - it's the dollar of the crypto world. USDT is a stable coin, and it's advisable to buy USDT first before using it to buy any coin you want.

Warning: Buying unstable coins like Bitcoin directly with Naira is risky because their value may rise or fall before you receive them, and vendors might cheat you.

Buying USDT from P2P

P2P (Peer to Peer) - One of the easiest and safest ways of buying coins. It means buying directly from someone.

Standard P2P Method:

1
Click P2P Trading on Home Screen (verified accounts only)
2
Authenticate your phone number and email in settings
3
Find vendors with different prices - choose one in your range
4
Check vendor's trade history - higher = safer
5
Fill in the amount you want to spend
6
You have 15 minutes to transfer the money
7
Transfer using bank app to generate receipt
8
DO NOT write anything crypto-related as reference
9
Click 'Transferred, next' when done
10
Vendor releases coins after receiving payment

P2P Express Method:

If you don't have time to look for vendors:

  1. Click P2P and select Express
  2. Fill the amount you want to spend (min N1,000)
  3. Click Buy USDT and confirm purchase
  4. Binance automatically pairs you with a vendor
  5. Transfer money to vendor's bank account
Important Notes:
  • - Transfer with bank account matching your Binance name
  • - Don't close P2P menu until you receive coins
  • - If vendor doesn't release, appeal with transfer screenshots
Transferring from Funding to Spot Wallet

Funding wallet is same as P2P wallet. After buying USDT from P2P, transfer it to Spot wallet.

1

Go to Wallet

2

Click on P2P/Funding

3

Click Transfer button

4

Select USDT and click Max, then Confirm

This process is free with no underlying charges.

How to Buy Coin
1
Click Markets on Binance home screen
2
Click on FIAT, then select USDT
3
Search for the coin you want (e.g., WIN)
4
Select the coin paired with USDT (WIN/USDT)
5
Click on Limit and set it to Market (for faster purchase)
6
Make sure it's on Total and enter amount of USDT
7
Click Buy - Coin appears in your Spot wallet!

Congratulations!

You're now a coin holder.

How to Sell Coin
1
Click Market on home screen
2
Search for your coin and select USDT pairing
3
Click Sell
4
Click on Amount (not Total)
5
Fill in the amount of coins you want to sell (or click 100% to sell all)
6
Click the Sell button

The current USDT value of the coin you sold will be in your wallet.

Withdrawing Your Profit

Setup Payment Method First:

  1. Go to Profile page on Binance
  2. Click on Payment Methods
  3. Click P2P Payment Methods, Add New
  4. Select Bank Transfer
  5. Fill in your bank account number and bank name

Then Sell via P2P:

  1. Transfer USDT from Spot to P2P Wallet first
  2. Go to P2P and click Sell
  3. Click Filter and select Bank Transfer
  4. Find a buyer with your amount range
  5. Fill in USDT amount and click Sell USDT
  6. Release coins ONLY after receiving bank alert

Warning: Watch out for scammers offering ridiculous prices. If someone offers N618 when legit prices are N1600+, it's likely a scam.

Spot Trading Tools

There are 4 trade tools on Binance:

1. Market Order

Buy/sell at current market price. Manual trading - you monitor and close the trade yourself.

Example: Buy $DOGE at $0.40, wait for $0.50, then manually sell.

Analogy: Like sitting in your shop, manually selling apples when the price is right.

Disadvantage: You must manually monitor the market.

2. Limit Order (Take Profit)

Set automatic sell price. When coin reaches your target, it sells automatically.

Example: Buy at $0.40, set limit at $0.50 - sells automatically when price hits $0.50.

Analogy: Put a N100 price tag on apples - they sell automatically when market reaches N100.

Disadvantage: Does NOT prevent loss if price dips.

3. Stop Limit (Stop Loss)

Automatically sells to prevent further loss when price falls.

Example: Buy at $0.40, set stop loss at $0.39 to prevent deeper losses.

Analogy: If apple price drops to N45, sell to avoid losing more.

Disadvantage: Does NOT automatically take profits.

4. OCO (Order Cancel Order)

Combines Limit AND Stop Limit. First one to trigger closes the trade.

Example: Buy at $0.40, set sell at $0.50 AND stop loss at $0.38.

Best for: Safest way to trade - targets profit while preventing capital loss.

You can cancel and adjust as price moves!

Special Notice:

  • Buy coins with Market price, then immediately set sell orders with Limit/Stop Limit/OCO
  • Change trigger and stop loss prices occasionally and keep them above your buy price
  • Learn to take profits and leave, unless holding long term

Part 2

Airdrop

By AlHalalCrypto Academy

What is Airdrop?

A giveaway that aims to promote a particular blockchain. It also rewards loyal customers to ensure they continue to subscribe to a particular blockchain platform.

Why Airdrop? And How Does It Work

Advertising

Startup companies announce airdrops to bring attention to their main coin - another form of advertising.

Value

Airdrops temporarily inflate value. Setting criteria to hold one coin to receive another works for both parties.

Time Sensitive

Usually, there's a certain time period you must hold the base cryptocurrency.

Types of Crypto Airdrop

Google Form

Q&A format about the coin project

Typeform

Part 3

Retroactive Airdrop

Father of Airdrop

What is Retroactive Airdrop?

A retroactive airdrop happens when an existing protocol releases a native token. It rewards a project's early adopters and those who contributed to its initial growth.

Because retroactive airdrops involve projects that are already up and running, they are more valuable than ordinary airdrops.

Example: Uniswap Airdrop

Distributed 400 UNI to 12,619 accounts. The 400 UNI was valued at ~$1,000 then, with all-time high worth around $20,000!

Other major airdrops: Optimism, dYdX, ENS, and many more.

Why Retroactive Airdrops Work

Creates FOMO

Limited distribution creates demand. Only a few people have them, driving up value.

Rewards Early Users

Loyal early users who believe in the company can reap benefits when value rises.

Attracts Users

Can attract users from other projects due to better designs, usability, or portfolio diversification.

Builds Culture

'Retroactive farming' culture - if you detect a DeFi protocol early, there's high chance of rewards.

Risks Associated with Retroactive Farming

Loss of Funds

Gas fees, platform fees, and price slippage must be paid. If they don't release tokens, you lose the funds used to interact.

Wasting Time

Some projects in beta phase can be full of bugs. You could end up waiting for an airdrop that isn't going to happen.

Falling into Scams

Scammers use this method to lure investors. Always run background checks and research before spending money.

Is Retroactive Airdrop Farming Worth Your Time?

From past airdrops, users can enjoy massive returns for just investing resources in the right platform at the right time.

However, they are not free since you need to spend time and fees on platforms, and there's no guarantee of airdrops.

Verdict: Worth It!

Retroactive airdrops are worth it. There will be more in the future - be on the lookout!

How Much Can You Earn?

There is no definitive figure as each retroactive airdrop depends on the platform doing it.

Profits can start from $1,000+ depending on a project's offerings.

How to Avoid Being Scammed
Check the project's website and whitepaper for reward program info
Make sure the project is active and has a working product
Do your own research on the project and its team members
Make sure you trust the project before investing money
Be wary of projects asking for private keys or seed phrases
Join legitimate community channels for updates
