I (used to) hate metamask! Its ok.
I was finally able to make everything work on this app. And I mean everything. So, my litany below is from the perspective of a first time user and I think it is valuable for that. I upgraded to 3 stars, from the previous 1 I had given. I understand the idea here is to give individuals more direct control of their transactions. That is not for everyone, because not everyone can or wants to deal with the technical parts of moving money or value. So. Metamask does what it does just fine. It's for you to decide if what it does works for you. I had to download a wallet that supported BNB, binance smart chain. Argh already. I recalled from my early years in crypto that metamask was well regarded in that niche industry, so I downloaded it. I sent my usdt on the BNB network to metamask and, hooray, it arrived. But guess what? I cannot, within the metamask app, find any way to take that $50 bucks worth of usdt on BNB and make into anything useable in the real world. All this talk about defi and changing the monetary system is so much run around. Nothing about crypto is simple or available to your average everyday person at all! I'm so sick and tired of the stupid jive I see everywhere about crypto being an equalizer amongst the people. It's nothing like that! It's just for the darned techie know hows to take their slice of the pie and leave the rest of us in the dust. I can't get metamask to send my money to my other wallet, and I can't get metamask to let me sell my crypto from there. Meta mask is a big loud lying jerk of a crypto app and misleads people and makes them feel dumb for not knowing how to work with their totally cryptographic bunch of junk. How is someone who isn't already formally trained in the crypto industry supposed to navigate this labrythine backwater of financial chaos? I hate metamask.

Im betting you don't have BNB in the same account. It's used for gas fees on the Binance smart chain. (Which is why you can't send/swap/etc) The in wallet sell feature only supports Eth network for the moment. We're working to expand that. Get in touch with support so we can help walk you through it.
