It is very common for one to easily get lost in the complexity of blockchain and Web3, making communities like Red Pill Trading invaluable in the space. Drawing inspiration from the movie The Matrix, where choosing the red pill reveals the truth, this Cebu-based group offers a guiding hand to those new to the crypto industry, teaching not just the fundamentals but also the art of trading.
Just as Neo was offered a choice between the red pill and the blue pill, Red Pill Trading offers a path to understanding and empowerment for beginners and experienced traders in the crypto space through education and collaborative idea-sharing.
That said, we got the chance to interview the co-founders of Red Pill Trading, Clyde Marcel Melgar and Dawn Bensig, during the recent Cebu Blockchain Conference 2025 in Cebu City, Philippines. This groundbreaking event is Cebu City’s first-ever crypto and blockchain conference in partnership with Web3 Cebu and WAV3.
What Is Red Pill Trading?
Red Pill Trading is a newly formed community in Cebu that aims to teach and educate people new to crypto, blockchain, Web3, and as well as the fundamentals of how to trade in the crypto market.
“Red Pill Trading is a community of seasoned traders, startup founders, freelancers, and anyone else who has extensive experience working in crypto and Web3,” Clyde Melgar, co-founder of Red Pill Trading and KOC Manager of Bitget Philippines, told UseTheBitcoin during the recent Cebu Blockchain Conference 2025. ”Red Pill is kind of a shared community wherein we share knowledge on maximizing profitability and opportunities the crypto market has to offer,” Melgar added.
How Does Red Pill Trading Differentiate Itself From Other Trading Community Platforms?
Red Pill Trading differentiates itself by focusing predominantly on crypto, but it is more than just a trading community platform.
According to Dawn Bensig, one of the co-founders of Red Pill Trading, the Community Manager for WAV3, as well as a Core Member of Web3 Cebu, they plan to collaborate with various projects, providing a platform that educates and integrates with the broader Web3 ecosystem. Additionally, they aim to offer opportunities for Web3 freelancing jobs, creating a community that supports learning and practical application within the crypto space.
Bensig highlighted:
“We are going to focus on more than just trading. We are gonna be going for collaboration with projects and securing Web3 freelancing jobs for our community members.”
How Does Red Pill Trading Tailor Educational Content To Members At Different Levels Of Experience?
Red Pill Trading utilizes a tiered access system in their Discord server.
Melgar explains that at the most basic level, newcomers start off as beginners, without the need to register with their partner crypto exchange, focusing on learning the fundamentals of cryptocurrency. Here, they offer introductory lessons on topics like “What is Bitcoin?” and “What are AI agents?”—covering the usual and simple topics regarding crypto and Web3.
For those with more experience in the space, there are higher access tiers with specific prerequisites. These levels introduce more advanced and potentially higher-risk trading strategies and concepts. This structure ensures that content is tailored to match each participant’s risk appetite and knowledge level, allowing Red Pill Trading to cater to both novices looking to understand the basics and seasoned traders seeking more profound, more complex insights into the crypto market.
As Melgar pointed out:
“In our platform, everything is tailored in different tiers depending on the member’s risk appetite.”
