How this site pays for itself

Up front: Dingtouma lives on a referral fee from Binance, and has no other income. If you read the notes here, find them useful, decide to open a trading account, and register at Binance with my referral code BN1918, Binance pays me a referral fee.

The key line: you never pay more for it

That fee is paid by Binance, not taken out of your pocket. Not only do you not pay a single cent extra — you actually get up to 20% off trading fees. In other words, on the narrow question of fees, registering through my link won't cost you anything; it just saves you a little. But to be clear, this is only about fees — it does not mean "guaranteed profit, no risk." Opening an account still means passing Binance's KYC, and some countries and regions are restricted and may not be able to register at all. The real risk is that crypto prices are volatile and you can lose money — and that has nothing to do with whether you use my link. You'll have to judge that for yourself and only invest what you can afford to lose. I get a small reward, you save a little on fees — to me there's nothing about that arrangement that can't be said out loud.

Why I only point to Binance

Some sites carry referral codes for seven or eight platforms at once and push whichever pays the highest rate to the front. I don't do that. I use Binance day to day myself — deposits, withdrawals, spot, fees, I know it reasonably well — so recommending it sits easy with me. I couldn't honestly talk up a platform I barely use. So this site recommends only the Binance I actually use, one platform, not a pile of them.

Does this affect what I write

Honestly, this is the part I care about most. I try to: still flag risk where risk should be flagged, and not dodge the spots where Binance is awkward to use. The site's stance hasn't changed from start to finish — first help you think through how much to invest and whether you can hold on, then talk about where to open an account. Opening an account always comes after the risk education, never the other way around. If there's ever a day you feel I'm hard-selling for that referral fee, write in and tell me off; the email is below.
