Goal: Understand what crypto is + set up and explore Binance.
Lesson 1: What is Cryptocurrency?
A. The Concept
Cryptocurrency is digital money that works without banks. It’s secure because it uses blockchain technology.
Think of blockchain as a digital notebook shared by thousands of computers. Every transaction is recorded and can’t be changed.
B. Popular Cryptocurrencies
1. Bitcoin (BTC) - The first and most valuable.
2. Ethereum (ETH) - Supports smart contracts (apps run on blockchain).
3. BNB (Binance Coin) - Native token of Binance.
4. USDT (Tether) - A stablecoin (always around $1) for trading easily.
C. What is Crypto Trading?
You buy low, sell high to make a profit.
You can trade in two main ways:
1. Spot Trading - Buy/sell actual crypto.
2. Futures Trading - Predict prices going up/down with leverage (risky but profitable once trained).
