Introduction Session
Q1: Can you introduce yourself to the community? What is your background and how did you join Bitget?
I am Leslie, COO for Bitget Global. My role is to manage and oversee Bitget global operations, and to promote Bitget to users around the world.
Bitget was founded in 2018 and headquarters established at the Asian financial center of Singapore. Bitget is a world-renowned digital asset financial service platform, providing 24-hour professional digital asset trading services to the world. The team consists of a world-class financial team and aims to create the most professional and secure new exchange in the world.
At launch, Bitget offered regular exchange services. As the market for crypto derivatives grew rapidly, Bitget officially launched the USDT contract in July 2019. It is the first platform in the world that has both USDT forward contracts and inverse contracts, and the most complete platform for USDT contract currencies. At present, Bitget’s daily trading vol is around 1 billion USD and mainly contributed from derivatives products.
Q2: What are the differentiators of Bitget?
Bitget is focusing on derivatives trading, so all our system infrastructure, security, risk management control etc are all specially target for derivatives trading, no system overload in Bitget.
Bitget has trading pairs of both USDT and inverse contracts, so traders can trade efficiently and reduce their risk in the highly volatile markets. Also, long /short both directions can be opened for the same trading pair.
And we are honored that we have the embedded “Copy Trade “Function at Bitget now. “Copy Trade” allows user to copy the trade strategy from Elite Traders on Bitget. It is user-friendly to those without or primary contract experience, user can select multiple preferred Elite Traders, and follow them to automatically synchronize their trading behaviors to achieve profitability just by one click, no more keeping eyes on market.

Twitter Session
Q1: Functional and Responsive Customer Support is very integral to the development of any exchange. If I may ask, how is the Bitget support when dealing with customer issues? Do you also use bots to attend to customers complaints?
Our priority is customer satisfaction. We take an individual approach to satisfy any requirements our clients might. So far we provide the channel is clients can send us the email to support@bitget.com or you can looking for group admin in our Bitget Official Telegram Group (https://t.me/bitgetEN) if our customer support cannot solve the issue for you. For 24/7 support, users can go to APP main page and use “Support” to reach our customer service officer.
We are not use bots to attend the complaints because in my opinion, bots killing customer service, the computer programs that conduct clumsy conversations with you when you have a complaints are maddening. We only used bots to do some promotions and quick service requests. We prefer to use human to take a more strategic role in the contact centre, focusing on detailed, complex customer inquiries.
Q2: As a new comer, which steps will be the easiest way for a random person to start copy trading on Bitget ? Which conditions and requirement does it need?
For new traders, you can get to know how other elite trade to behave, it is a learning platform as well. Copy Trade is a tactic used by some newer investors without experience. What u need to do is choosing a trader and follow with one tap. But I think there are some risks that you need to look out.
Here are the suggestions:
- Picking traders, Bitget is monitoring the performance for the traders, and do the announcement every week for the top traders, I think this is the way for your reference.
- Not following trades proportionally, we allow the trades close position anytime if you feel the trader’s direction is wrong.
- Copy trade should be a learning tool, not a magic wand, we hope you can learn the strategies from the professional traders.
Q3: What are the benefits of Bitget partners?
We have the ambassador program or called it KOL program, we are welcome all Blockchain enthusiast to apply, they need to have community resources no less than 500 members, including but not limit to Telegram, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Blogs etc;
The reason to launch ambassador / KOL program is that we hope blockchain or trading enthusiast can join us to grow together.

Bitget is the first platform in the world that has both USDT forward contracts and inverse contracts, and the most complete platform for USDT contract currencies with open long / short position in both way, Bitget has always insisted on carrying out business in various countries and regions under the premise of legality and compliance.
