If you’ve spent any time in crypto, you’ve probably heard mixed opinions about P2P trading. Some people swear by it. Others call it a scam waiting to happen. The truth, as usual, sits somewhere in the middle.
P2P trading on Binance is not a scam by default. But it can become risky if you don’t understand how it works or ignore basic rules.
Let’s break it down properly, without hype or fear-mongering.
What P2P Trading Actually Means
P2P (peer-to-peer) trading means you’re buying or selling crypto directly with another user, not with Binance itself. Binance acts as the middle layer by providing the platform, escrow system, and dispute resolution.
You agree on a price, choose a payment method (bank transfer, mobile money, etc.), and complete the trade directly with another person.
This setup is powerful, especially in regions where bank restrictions or fiat onramps are limited. But power always comes with responsibility.
Why People Think P2P Is a Scam
Most P2P horror stories come from users breaking the rules or trusting the wrong signals.
Common mistakes include:
Releasing crypto before confirming paymentAccepting payments from third-party accountsCommunicating outside the Binance chatFalling for fake SMS or edited payment screenshots
When these mistakes happen, people blame the platform. In reality, the system worked, but the user ignored it.
How Binance P2P Keeps Users Safe
Binance P2P has several built-in protections that many users underestimate.
First is escrow. When a trade starts, the seller’s crypto is locked by Binance. The seller cannot run away with it once the order is open.
Second is in-platform chat and dispute support. If something goes wrong and you followed the rules, Binance moderators can review evidence and step in.
Third is merchant history and ratings. You can see how many trades someone has completed, their completion rate, and feedback from other users. This matters more than price.
Used correctly, these features make Binance P2P one of the safer P2P systems in crypto.
Where the Real Risk Comes From
The biggest risk in P2P trading isn’t Binance. It’s human behavior.
Scammers rely on urgency, confusion, and inexperience. They may pressure you to release funds quickly, ask you to cancel orders, or request communication outside the platform. These are red flags.
Another overlooked risk is chargebacks. Some payment methods allow reversals. If you’re selling crypto, choosing irreversible payment methods is critical.
P2P isn’t “set and forget.” It requires attention.
Simple Rules That Keep You Safe
From my experience, following these rules removes most risk:
Never release crypto until payment is fully confirmed in your bankOnly trade with users who have strong history and high completion ratesKeep all communication inside BinanceNever accept third-party paymentsTake screenshots and records for every trade
If a deal feels rushed or weird, walk away. There will always be another order.
So, Safe or Scam?
Binance P2P is a tool. In the right hands, it’s safe, efficient, and often cheaper than traditional onramps. In careless hands, it can turn into an expensive lesson.
Calling P2P a scam oversimplifies the problem. The platform provides protection. The outcome depends on how well you use it.
Crypto rewards self-responsibility. P2P trading is no exception.
Final Thought
If you’re new, start small. Learn the flow. Make mistakes with tiny amounts, not life-changing money. Once you understand the system, P2P can become one of the most useful features Binance offers, especially in regions where access matters most.
Used wisely, it’s not a scam. It’s an opportunity.

Every trader, no matter how experienced, eventually learns this lesson the hard way: markets don’t care about your hopes, predictions, or confidence. Prices move fast, emotions move faster, and without a clear exit plan, even a good trade can turn into a painful loss.
That’s where stop-loss and take-profit orders come in. They may look simple, but they are some of the most important tools a trader can use to survive and stay consistent in any market.

Understanding Stop-Loss and Take-Profit (Without the Complicated Talk)
A stop-loss is simply the price level where you decide, If the market reaches here, I am wrong, and I am getting out.
It exists to protect your capital when the market moves against you.
A take-profit, on the other hand, answers the question, If price reaches this level, I am satisfied with the profit, and I’ll lock it in.
That’s it. No magic. No prediction of the future. Just clear decisions made before emotions take over.

Why Traders Lose Without Them
Many beginners avoid stop-losses because they believe price will “come back.” Professionals know better. Markets can stay irrational longer than a trader can stay solvent.
Without a stop-loss:
Small losses turn into big ones
One bad trade can wipe out weeks of progress
Fear and hope replace logic
Without a take-profit:
Profits disappear during sudden reversals
Greed keeps traders holding too long
Winning trades end up breaking even or worse
In both cases, the problem isn’t the market. It’s the lack of an exit plan.

The Real Power: Control and Discipline
Trading is not about winning every trade. It’s about controlling risk.
When you set a stop-loss and take-profit:
You know exactly how much you’re risking
You know exactly what you stand to gain
Every trade becomes a calculated decision
This allows you to focus on probability, not emotion.
Professionals don’t ask, Will this trade win?
They ask, Is the risk worth the reward?
Emotional Trading Is the Silent Account Killer
Fear makes traders close winning trades too early.
Greed makes them hold losers too long.
Stop-loss and take-profit orders remove these emotions from the process. Once they’re set, the market decides the outcome not your mood, not Twitter, not panic candles.
This is especially important in volatile markets like crypto, where prices can move sharply within minutes.
Risk-to-Reward: The Language Professionals Speak
One of the biggest differences between beginners and professionals is risk-to-reward thinking.
For example:
Risking $100 to make $300
Even if you lose half your trades, you can still be profitable
Stop-loss and take-profit levels make this possible. Without them, there is no structure only guessing.

Automation Matters More Than You Think
You can’t watch charts all day. Markets move while you sleep, work, or live your life.
Stop-loss and take-profit orders work for you in the background. They protect your capital and secure profits even when you’re not around. That’s not laziness, it’s smart trading.
Common Mistakes Traders Make
Even experienced traders get this wrong sometimes:
Setting stop-losses too tight and getting stopped out by normal price movement.
Placing take-profits based on greed instead of market structure.
Moving stop-losses further away to avoid being wrong.
A stop-loss should protect you, not suffocate the trade. A take-profit should be realistic, not emotional.
Final Thoughts
If there’s one habit that separates struggling traders from consistent ones, it’s this:
Every trade must have a stop-loss and a take-profit. No exceptions.
They won’t make you win every trade, but they will:
Protect your capital
Improve consistency
Reduce emotional stress
Keep you in the game long enough to grow
In trading, survival comes first. Profits come second.
Stop-loss and take-profit orders make both possible.

$XRP 's weekly RSI just hit the lowest level since June 2022, the month of the previous bear market bottom. This means that we are looking at market conditions similar to the end of the last bear market.

Now, the reading is the lowest since then but not the lowest nor the same, it is a bit higher.

This development gives me a bullish bias but I am not stupid. This bullishness is based only on the short-term.

As you can see, $XRP USDT is set to close five consecutive weeks red with the current week having a long lower shadow. This call for some relief.

After this relief then the market moves lower again.

Whenever the market produces a bearish cycle, it never enters the next cycle in flash, suddenly. Instead, the market goes sideways for several months at bottom prices before the start of the next trend.

Let's say $XRP goes bullish for several weeks and that's it. The relief. Then it comes crashing back down. The next crash produces really extreme oversold conditions and then the market settles at bottom prices; still, no strong bullish breakout.

At the bottom we get sideways with some fluctuations. After a long while, long enough for people to get bored and many weak hands to fold, then a strong bullish breakout shows up. This move signals the start of the next market phase which tends to last a long time.

Bitcoin's halving and 4 years cycle explained

Many people have been saying that Bitcoin's four years cycle is changing or that it will change in the future—simply impossible.

The four years cycle cannot change because it has been programmed into the code. Every four years we get "the halving." And this is what causes Bitcoin's classic bullish and bearish cycles.

Before the halving, Bitcoin starts to grow really strong in anticipation of the event. This puts pressure on the entire Cryptocurrency market to grow.

Once the event happens, Bitcoin continues growing until all momentum is exhausted. The year after the halving all momentum is gone and that's the end.

The market starts to price-in the halving one year in advance. Grows before and during the halving. The momentum lasts until one year after and then we get the bear market.

That's why we get only 1 year of bearish action vs 3 years of bullish action.
