Stepping into crypto trading can feel intimidating at first charts, prices, and all those new terms. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be a tech genius to start. At Wawabit.com, our goal is to make crypto trading simple, safe, and rewarding for everyone. Whether you’re curious about Bitcoin, stablecoins, or want to try futures trading, this guide will walk you through every step.
What Is Cryptocurrency, Really?
Cryptocurrency is digital money that lives on the blockchain, a public record that anyone can see but no one can secretly alter. Instead of being printed like cash or controlled by banks, cryptocurrencies are powered by decentralized computer networks across the world.
Mining is how some cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) are created and verified. Think of miners as digital auditors who confirm transactions and secure the network, earning coins as rewards for their work.
Over time, thousands of cryptocurrencies have emerged. Some are volatile, like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), while others, called stablecoins (such as USDT, USDC, and DAI), are pegged to stable assets like the US dollar — making them useful for trading and storing value.
Crypto vs. Stocks: What’s the Difference?
While both let you invest and trade for profit, crypto and stocks operate very differently.

In simple terms: crypto gives you freedom and speed. You don’t need a bank or a middleman — you just need your wallet and a trusted platform like Wawabit.com.
Types of Crypto Trading
Spot Trading — Simple and Instant
Spot trading is the easiest way to start. You buy or sell crypto at the current market price — no waiting, no contracts.
Example: You buy $100 of Bitcoin (BTC) when it’s priced at $50,000. If BTC later rises to $55,000, your BTC is now worth $110 — a $10 gain if you sell.
On Wawabit.com, Spot trading is seamless — you can purchase, sell, and convert cryptos instantly from your dashboard.
Futures Trading — Predict and Profit
Futures trading lets you speculate on a cryptocurrency’s future price. You can go long (buy) if you believe the price will rise, or go short (sell) if you think it will fall.
You also use leverage, meaning you can control a larger position with a smaller deposit.
Example: You open a 10x leveraged trade on ETH/USDT with $100. You’re now exposed to a $1,000 position.
If ETH’s price rises 5%, you earn 5% of $1,000 — that’s $50 profit. But if it falls 5%, you lose $50 instead.
That’s why Wawabit encourages beginners to start small, manage risk, and learn before trading with high leverage.
