- Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Bitget/Bybit account immediately after registering.
- Only trade with verified P2P merchants — look for high completion rates and positive feedback.
- Never share your password, 2FA codes, or seed phrases with anyone.
- Invest only what you can afford to lose — crypto prices are volatile.
- Consider withdrawing to a personal wallet for long-term holdings.
