New to cryptocurrency? Begin with these eight foundational topics before exploring more advanced concepts.
What Is Cryptocurrency?
A form of digital currency that uses cryptography for security and operates on decentralized networks, independent of any central authority.
What Is Bitcoin?
The world’s first cryptocurrency, created in 2009. Bitcoin (BTC) allows peer-to-peer transactions globally without a central bank or intermediary.
What Is USDT?
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, offering price stability compared to other cryptocurrencies. Widely used for transactions.
What Is a Crypto Wallet?
A digital tool that stores your private and public keys, allowing you to send, receive and manage your digital assets on the blockchain.
How Transactions Work
When you send crypto it is broadcast to a network of computers, verified by validators and permanently recorded on the blockchain. Irreversible.
Understanding Blockchain
A distributed digital ledger that permanently records all transactions across a network. Each block links to the previous, forming a secure chain.
Crypto Addresses Explained
A unique alphanumeric identifier used to send and receive a specific cryptocurrency on a given network — similar to a bank account number.
Network Fees Explained
Small charges paid to validators who process transactions on the blockchain. Fee amounts vary by network congestion and transaction type.
Bitcoin & USDT — Key Concepts
The two most commonly referenced digital assets in crypto exchange services.
₿ Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency with a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins. It is used globally for peer-to-peer transactions and as a store of value. Bitcoin’s market value fluctuates based on supply and demand. No entity can guarantee its price at any point in time.
🟡 USDT (Tether)
USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, making it less volatile than Bitcoin. It exists on multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum (ERC-20) and TRON (TRC-20). The applicable network must always be confirmed before sending to avoid permanent loss of funds.
🔒 Crypto Safety — Protect Your Assets
Security is your responsibility. These practices are essential for every crypto user.
🔑 Protect Your Private Keys
Your private key is the only proof of ownership. Never share it with anyone — including support staff. Anyone who has it controls your funds.
📝 Guard Your Seed Phrase
Your 12–24-word recovery phrase can fully restore your wallet. Write it down offline. Never enter it on any website or share it digitally.
🎣 Avoid Phishing Attacks
Fraudsters clone legitimate websites and messages. Always verify URLs carefully. Bookmark trusted sites and never click unsolicited links.
✅ Verify Wallet Addresses
Always confirm the full recipient address before sending. Malware can silently replace copied addresses. Check first and last characters carefully.
🚫 Avoid Suspicious Links
Do not click links in unsolicited emails, WhatsApp messages, SMS or social media. Navigate directly to official websites when in doubt.
🤐 Never Share Passwords
No legitimate service — including MTS — will ever ask for your private key, seed phrase or account password. Any such request is a scam.
🔍 Verify Before Sending
Crypto transactions are irreversible. Double-check the address, network, currency and amount before confirming every single transaction.
📱 Secure Your Devices
Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication and keep all apps and operating systems updated to reduce security risks.
How a Crypto Exchange Works
Understanding the general exchange process helps you transact with confidence and accuracy.
Choose the Supported Asset
Identify the cryptocurrency you wish to exchange. Confirm it is currently supported and available for your required transaction type.
Review the Applicable Rate & Requirements
Check the current exchange rate and specific requirements for the transaction. Rates may vary and must be confirmed before proceeding.
Provide the Required Transaction Information
Submit all details accurately — asset type, amount and any supporting information required to process the exchange correctly.
Confirm the Details
Review all submitted information carefully before confirming. Errors in addresses or amounts may result in irreversible loss of funds.
Complete the Transaction
Proceed according to the applicable terms. Allow time for network confirmation and processing as required by the specific transaction.
