It is interactive, like a language-learning app. Each lesson is a short series of cards you tap through, ending with quick quiz questions. You earn XP, build a daily streak, and each lesson unlocks the next.
Which exchanges does it cover?>
Bybit and Bitget, the two main P2P marketplaces used across Africa. The concepts (spread, escrow, cost basis, advertiser status) apply to P2P trading anywhere.
