Who we are
Bitu is a plain-language guide to using crypto exchanges for beginners, mainly about how to use Binance: signing up, fees, account security, withdrawals — the steps that trip up everyone on their first contact. The site is small, and the content doesn't try to cover everything; we only write about the traps beginners actually fall into.
The articles are signed "Lin Yue · Bitu editorial." One thing to be honest about up front: Lin Yue is a pen name, not a real, verifiable public figure. We do this because the value of the site isn't in who wrote it but in whether the content holds up when you check it. We also don't pretend to be licensed advisers, an institution, or an official partner. We're just a few ordinary people who got used to Binance and hit plenty of traps along the way, writing down the process for those a step behind us.
Why we built this
The reason is simple. More than one friend stumbled the first time they bought crypto: one picked the wrong network on a withdrawal and the coins never came back; one didn't enter an invite code and paid more in fees than they had to; one got tricked out of a code by fake support. None of these traps is deep, but plainly explained, no-hidden-agenda material that's also clear is hard to find — it's either marketing copy or content that scares people off doing anything at all.
What we want to make is the kind of guide where "a friend sits beside you and walks you through it once": explaining why each step is designed the way it is and where things easily go wrong, so you sidestep a few traps and make your own call. We don't decide for you whether to buy or what to buy — that's your business, and only yours.
What we write, and what we don't
We write experience we've checked repeatedly: how the interface works, how a fee is calculated, where the risks hide. We try to walk through these ourselves and check against the official pages before we write.
What we don't write is investment advice. Which coin will go up, whether to get in now, whether to add to a position — we don't answer any of these, because no one can answer them accurately, and answering would only harm you. For numbers that change, like specific fee rates or confirmation times, we'll mark "go by what the official page shows at the time" rather than pinning down an exact figure for you to trust blindly.
How we work
- We give sources. For checkable things like fee rates, rules, and network confirmations, we try to attach links to Binance's official pages or public material, so you can click through and verify rather than just take our word.
- We correct in public. When we get something wrong or it goes out of date, we change it openly and leave a trace in the corrections log, rather than quietly deleting it and pretending it never happened. A site that admits mistakes is more trustworthy than one that's forever "right."
- Calculators run on your device. The fee and position calculators are pure front-end; the amounts you enter are computed in your own browser only, not uploaded, and we never receive them.
- We collect as little of your data as possible. The whole site is static pages, the fonts are self-hosted, and we call no third-party trackers. See the privacy policy for details.
Disclosure of the promotional relationship
This is the part most worth stating plainly, so we put it front and center: the site contains Binance's invite code BN0128 and promotional links. If you register with Binance through our links or invite code, we may earn a referral commission from Binance. That's how this site is funded.
Two things to be clear about this. First, it doesn't add to your cost — on the contrary, registering through the invite code gets you a proportional discount on trading fees (our corresponding discount is around up to 20% off Binance fees; the actual rate is whatever Binance shows on its page). Second, the rebate doesn't affect how honestly we write the pros and cons. The risks worth flagging, the futures traps worth naming, the cold water worth pouring — we won't hold back a word. If one day we think something does beginners more harm than good, we'll say so directly, even if it's tied to the rebate. You're entirely free to read the content and not use our links; the articles work just the same.
