Trading is Three Different Games
The video opens by stating that trading is not one activity but three distinct methods: P2P trading, spot trading, and derivative trading.

Game One: P2P Trading
P2P trading is a digital method where you act as a middleman, swapping Naira for USDT or vice versa, taking a small fee. It is popular among Nigerian businesses for moving money across borders faster than banks.

Game Two: Spot Trading
Spot trading is buy and hold: you buy the actual coin, wait for the price to rise, then sell for profit. If the price drops, you either wait or sell at a loss. It requires patience.

Game Three: Derivative Trading
Derivative trading involves trading price movements without owning the coin. You can profit from both upward and downward price moves, but risk is highest. It includes futures, perpetuals, and options.
