Lim How Wei notlhw

Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume.

On Binance, you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The exchange has one of the lowest fees in the market starting at 0.1%.

Other exchanges like Coinbase have a 1.49% to 3.99% fee.

Binance has separate websites for certain countries.

This is to comply with local regulations.

For example, if you’re from Singapore, you can use binance.sg to buy cryptocurrencies.

On the other hand, if you’re from the US, you can use binance.us instead.

You can also use binance.com, which is the main website for Binance.

The difference between these three websites is the number of supported cryptocurrencies, trading fees, depositing, order types, and withdrawing.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Binance by creating an account, verifying your identity, and buying a cryptocurrency.

How to use Binance

To use Binance, you need to create an account and verify your identity.

Once you’ve verified your identity on the exchange, you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies.

Binance is available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

You can also use Binance on your desktop.

In this tutorial, we’ll use the Binance app instead of the website.

When you create a Binance account, you need to go through the Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

The process requires you to provide your information such as your address.

It also requires you to verify your identity by uploading the front and back of your ID.

If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to buy or sell cryptocurrencies on the exchange.
