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.
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.
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 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.
