This isn’t just speculation — it’s a lifeline for millions avoiding inflation and banking limits.
USDT = Digital Dollar: 1

No bank needed: Buy/sell crypto directly with others using mobile money or cash.

One of the best ways to do this as a beginner is through P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading.
Freelancing:
Take your profit
Sell when the price rises
Buy when the price is low
How P2P Works:
Sign up on a P2P platform (e.g., ByBit, Binance or else);
Find sellers offering crypto at a lower price than the market average;
Buy crypto cheaply using bank transfer, PayPal, or other payment methods;
Resell it at a higher price to other buyers on the same platform.
No complex trading charts – just basic buying and selling;
Start small: Trade with ₦50,000–₦100,000 to learn.
Use escrow: Only trade on platforms with buyer/seller protection.
Diversify: Combine P2P with staking or Bitcoin long-term holds.
Start with stablecoins* (like USDT) to avoid price volatility. Buy when demand is low, sell when demand rises — repeat for steady profits!
Why P2P is Great for Beginners:
You set your own profit margins;
Works even in countries with strict banking rules.
Pro Tip:
