[12]
This is going to be a simple straight forward video showing you the step by step processes,
[16]
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time now but here it is and we’ll see how
[21]

Without further ado, let’s get to the video.
[42]
First Step - Download + Giveaway
[43]
Binance is available on the web and on mobile but for this tutorial, I’ll show you how
[47]
to go about it via your mobile platforms or the mobile app.
[50]
It’s the same process on the web.
[53]
If you’re newly downloading it, you will be downloading one that looks like this both
[57]
on the Apple and Google Play Store…AND guys!
[61]
You know I won’t just make a video without something for you so the first 100 users who
[65]
sign up with my link in the description below, it’s the first link and make their first
[71]
trade of at least $100 will get $5 just like that which is like 2,800 Naira almost 3,000
[77]
Naira in free money, I know it’s not much but there’s more and we’ll talk about
[80]
that later.
[81]
Essentially you get $5 for free when you download and sign up with my link and make up to $100
[86]
in trades.
[87]
You can’t get this anywhere else so (pointing down) just do it.
[89]
What is P2P
[90]
So first off, what is a P2P trade, what does it even mean?
[94]
The word P2P means Peer to Peer and P2P in Finance means a service is decentralized.
[100]
Decentralized means that it’s not central or there is no one power over the transaction
[105]
or no intermediary like banks.
[108]
It’s just you and the person interacting directly with each other.
[111]
It simply means, again that the buyer and the seller are transacting directly with each
[116]
other.
[117]
Where Binance now comes in here is that they give you a platform, the Binance Platform
[123]
to trade and they don’t just do that, they screen people who are trading, they rank them,
[128]
show you the highest or lowest rating, positive and negative rating or reviews and also provide
[134]
escrow service.
[136]
What is Escrow
[137]
What does an escrow service mean, in simple terms, If I’m a buyer, if I want to buy
[141]
a stable coin like BUSD for instance or I want to buy Bitcoin, I will put some money
[147]
to the side, they will lock in my offer on that money somewhere and they will lock the
[153]
BUSD or Bitcoin of the person that I want to buy from on Binance, they will essentially
[158]
lock their money so until the both of you come into agreement, the funds will not be
[164]
released to anyone.
[165]
So no one gets scammed until the agreement is done very very securely and I’ve been
[171]
using Binance for the better part of this year.
[174]
Alright, let’s get into the app.
[175]
How to Buy Cryptocurrency
[176]
So the first thing we’ll be talking about is how you can go about with buying and the
[179]
next section will be about selling and before we begin, I’d like to mention that this
[183]
isn’t investment advice, I’ve made multiple videos on the personal finance on this channel
[189]
from our Finance Friday series and I’ve always mentioned investing a decent sized
[193]
portion of income or that which you won’t be troubled by fluctuations.
[197]
Anyway, let’s get started.
[199]
On the Binance App, you can see the current home page here.
[202]
On closer inspection, you can view all of the trading options, you can also see how
[207]
much each currency pair is performing from BNB, Bitcoin, and Ethereum and you can see
[214]
more when you scroll down.
[215]
Clicking on More shows you the P2P option, you also get the P2P trading option on the
[220]
home page and it of course shows you the Risk notice associated with the trading.
[226]
Basically Binance is telling you not to believe anyone who claims they’re customer support,
[231]
or anyone that convinces you to release crypto before you have received payment.
[236]
The instruction will appear clearly and once you follow them you’ll be fine.
[242]
Trust me, it’s super easy.
[243]
So this is the P2P page, up top, I can see my currency which is NGN or Nigerian Naira,
[251]
and it is location based so right now, I can only transfer to accounts that accept Naira
[257]
and changing to other currency would mean I can only trade with accounts that accept
[261]
those other currencies.
[263]
I’ll be using NGN or Naira as an example.
[266]
Here is where you get to see each user and what mode of payment, most of them here accept
[275]
bank transfers which you already know how to do so that’s easy.
[280]
You can also see the name of a potential trader, how many trades they’ve done and percentage
[284]
of positive feedback they have.
[286]
If you scroll left and right you can also see other tokens you can trade as well.
[291]
If you want to trade quicker, you can go on the Express Option that Binance offers whereby
[295]
you get a random and usually high rated user who is online and you can trade quicker with
[302]
instead of scrolling through a long list and picking one person.
[306]
So let’s make a Buy Trade now with the Express option.
[311]
I want to buy 50,000 worth of USDT, when I click Buy, it shows that I will receive 88
[318]
USDT or basically 88 dollars at the rate of 567.3.
[322]
I’ll click on Confirm to proceed.
[325]
As you can see here, the person I’m buying USDT from is a user named Iruag and the person
[331]
is verified.
[333]
What is highlighted here is that ā€œBinance is holding the seller’s crypto in the escrow
[339]
account and they have 24/7 customer support.
[341]
Do you remember what I talked about regarding Escrow, well this is it.
[344]
So their money is held and when you transfer to this person and the person confirms, it
[349]
is released to you.
[350]
So it’s not like you can make a transfer to the person and the person just runs away,
[354]
their USDT is being held so if the person runs, you get the money anyway.
[361]
You can also see that you’ve got about 14 minute time limit to make the transaction
[366]
work.
[367]
A few things I still try to double check here are by checking the user’s profile.
[371]
So when I click on this person’s name, I can see that they’re verified, they’ve
[374]
done over 3956 trades almost 4,000 trades in the past 30 days at a 97.7% completion
[381]
rate which is fair.
[382]
They also have 6,701 feedback which 99% is positive and you can also see the average
[388]
time it takes for this person to pay which is 4.5 minutes and his release time is 4.7
[393]
minutes.
[394]
All of which is fair and okay to me.
[397]
One thing I also do is that I message the merchant or whoever I’m trading with to
[402]
confirm if they’re online.
[403]
I’ve done a trade where I nearly transferred but the person’s status showed online and
[408]
didn’t respond at all even when the time limit ran out.
[413]
so I always message them before anything.
[416]
I’ll just type ā€œare you onlineā€
[419]
For this person, it took around 5-6 minutes to get back to me so once I got confirmation
[424]
that they were online.
[425]
I just made a transfer to their normal bank account that was shown.
[434]
Then I just message the person that I have sent it, with a snapshot of the proof of payment.
[439]
The seller who is supposed to give me the USDT for the money I’ve just sent will now
[444]
release the payment to me.
[446]
He also has a timelimit to release it as we can see here.
[450]
Now as you can see the seller has released the USDT to my wallet and that’s pretty
[454]
much it about Buying.
[458]
I can simply rate the person Positive or Negative.
[461]
Of course, I didn’t have any issues so I’ll rate them negative.
[466]
Uh, Positive, I’ll rate positive.
[469]
That’s about it for buying, as you can see in the Transfer section of the App, that money
[473]
is in your wallet and if you want to use this USDT for instance to buy other tokens like
[477]
Bitcoin which most people do, then you can move it to your Spot Wallet and begin trades,
[484]
you can see your available balance here.
[486]
But for now, I’ll leave it in my normal Wallet.
[488]

[496]
Selling
[497]
Now How about Selling?
[500]
Well it’s pretty much the same process with Buying except you are the one receiving the
[506]
Transfers to your bank account and Binance is holding your Tokens or Crypto to release
[512]
it to the person transferring to you.
[516]
Just like theirs was held in the buying section we just covered.
[519]
Okay so let’s go, on the P2P section when we click Sell, we get the exact same options
[526]
like the Buy Page.
[527]
We can also do Express Selling which is what I’ll do now so instead of picking the buyers
[531]
or sellers one by one, I just let Binance pick a random and highly rated buyer or seller
[538]
that is online.
[539]
Now I want to sell $80 or 80USDT which is the same thing.
[544]
Once I hit sell.
[545]
I can choose which of my bank accounts I want the money sent to.
[548]
Then I click to confirm the sale.
[550]
As you can see here the Buyer now has a time limit as well.
[554]
I usually click on the Chat section to see if there’s any message for me and sure enough.
[559]
This person has asked that I release the coin once I receive payment.
[565]
Obviously, Anyway, I reply with an ā€œokā€ aaaand I wait to receive the transfer.
[572]
So right now, Binance has told me that this person has marked the order as paid.
[577]
Keep in mind that Binance is holding my $80 in escrow so until I receive the payment and
[584]
I click accepted, no one is getting anything and that’s what I like about P2P trading.
[591]
As you can see, I have indeed gotten the payment and I’ll just need to confirm that I have
[598]
received it.
[599]
There’s also a warning message that says you should check your bank app very well to
[605]
be sure you indeed have received it.
[608]
I can then click on Confirm.
[613]
What Binance does for further security is that they send a 6 Digit Code to be absolutely
[618]
sure because it’s money, if a hacker wants to move your money, they’ll need to steal
[622]
your phone for that so that extra layer of security is embedded and even if your phone
[628]
gets stolen you’ll need to block your SIM card immediately.
[635]
Once I type in the code.
[636]
I get a confirmation message saying I have sold my $80 on Binance for 45,000 Naira cash
[642]
into my bank account.
[643]
It’s that easy.
[645]
Basically like a normal transaction or a transfer between two people.
[648]
One thing to keep in mind is that for security purposes and so one’s account doesn’t
[653]
get flagged, people don’t have to write crypto currency as the reason for transfer.
[662]
They can just put a generic word there like Payment or something.
[666]
That is when they’re transferring with their banking apps.
[670]
Anyway, I always recommend leaving a positive review or rating and that’s pretty much
[676]
it on how to buy and sell tokens or crypto.
[680]
You can do this with almost any cryptocurrency on Binance like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, BUSD
[685]
and the likes.
[686]
It’s all the same process and these tokens are one way many people store their cash assets.
