All notes
This site is one subject in four chapters: getting the account open, moving money in and out safely, working out what it costs, and knowing where the losses actually come from. Each note below gets one line on what it solves.
The order is not binding. Most people arrive with one specific problem — verification bounced, the bank card stopped working after a sale, the fee maths does not add up — so jump straight to that one. Read end to end and the four groups are a timeline.
Account and access · 6 notes
-
Opening a Binance account
From what the sign-up form asks for to where the referral code goes and which verification step tends to stall.
-
When verification keeps failing
Re-uploading the document is rarely the fix. Work through it in order: environment and device first, paperwork second.
-
Account security: four settings
Two-factor, the anti-phishing code, the withdrawal allow-list, device management — and why the order matters.
-
Locked out: authenticator, phone number or mailbox gone
Four kinds of locked out take four different routes. Work out which one you lost before deciding between a self-service reset, a video, or an account appeal.
-
App versus the web version
The two surfaces are not one product in two shells. Which jobs belong on the phone, which are better on desktop.
-
Getting KYC data deleted
Closing the account does not erase the ID photos or the face video. Which data a request can remove, which the law keeps, and where to send it.
Getting money in and out · 6 notes
-
Cash in and cash out
Getting money in is the easy half. This is about getting it back out, and how a freeze hits people doing nothing wrong.
-
Choosing a P2P counterparty
Of the numbers next to a listing, two carry information — and the most prominent one should be read last.
-
Regional on-ramp differences
One platform, four jurisdictions: deposit routes and regulatory status differ, so a guide written elsewhere misleads.
-
Which chain to withdraw USDT on
The three chains are not "faster or slower". The wrong pick can strand funds where neither side can reach them.
-
When a withdrawal has not arrived
The Status and TxID on the history row tell you whether Binance, the chain or the receiver is holding it, and who to contact.
-
When the payer's name doesn't match
The sender on your bank statement isn't the buyer on the order: don't release, appeal, and refund to the account that paid.
What it costs · 3 notes
-
How Binance fees are calculated
What you pay is a product of four layers: maker or taker, the BNB discount, your VIP tier, and any referral relationship.
-
How VIP tiers work
A tier is a rolling window, not a badge you keep. Review periods, dropping a tier, and the usual misreadings.
-
What the funding rate is
It is not on the fee line, but it is part of what a position costs — and it grows with how long you hold.
Where money actually goes missing · 3 notes
-
How a liquidation price is derived
Liquidation does not happen where your loss equals your margin. The real mechanism, and why positions close early.
-
The risk inside yield products
An APY tells you what is being offered. It says nothing about what has to keep working for you to receive it.
-
What a Web3 wallet is
Self-custody and an exchange account answer "who can help when it goes wrong" in opposite ways.
