Bitget is basically a cryptocurrency exchange which allows a trader to trade with different currencies, starting from derivatives, to spot trading. It has a lot of features, covering a couple of items, including copy trading, which allows new users to actually copy expert traders.
According to Bitget’s Africa Marketing Manager, Munene Mathendu, “A lot of youths in general, not just from Kenya, but Africa are adopting these new technologies, and it’s very important to present them with this type of technology to ensure that there are actual equal opportunities for all.
