There was a habit on Binance P2P that I used to do almost reflexively.
Receive the payment, check once, release USDT, then close the Order.
In my head at the time, once the trade was done, there was nothing else to care about.
But after playing P2P a little longer, I started to develop a different habit. After releasing, I still keep the Order and review it once more.
Not because I think every trade has issues. It’s just that I want to make sure that if something happens later, I still have enough information to know exactly what I did at that moment.
The buyer’s name, the amount, the transfer time, the chat content, the payment proof.
Earlier, I thought this was a bit excessive. A trade only takes a few minutes—why save all of that.
But then I realized something.
Memory is not evidence.
After a few days, I might remember that “that person transferred the money that day.” But if there’s a dispute, I can’t resolve it with my memory.
At that point, what matters is the Order, the transaction history, and what truly happened during the trade.
This also made me change how I think about completing an Order.
Before, I believed that P2P ends at the moment you release USDT.
Now I think releasing is only when I finish my part of the transaction. The rest is making sure I can still check back on that trade if I need to.
It sounds a bit too cautious.
But P2P has something quite strange. Normally, I never need these things.
Until one day I really did.
And it was already too late if I hadn’t kept them beforehand. #binancep2pantoan @Binance Vietnam $BTC #BTC
