Hello, r/Bitcoin I'm a collaborator from Bisq and we are celebrating our Market Day this month on monday the 20th.

What is Bisq?

Bisq is a peer-to-peer trading network, not a website or "app" or other centralized service. It's software you run on your own hardware, which connects to other people running the Bisq software to facilitate trades. It's open-source and community-driven.

And you can trade bitcoin for fiat currencies with it!

The difference between Bisq and other so-called decentralized exchanges is as stark as the difference between owning your own home and renting someone else's—in the former case you have full control over the property, and in the latter you're always subject to the landlord's whims and demands (no matter how nice the landlord may seem to be).

With Bisq you're always the owner—not just owner of your bitcoin, but also owner of your data.

• Bisq does not hold any bitcoin. All bitcoin used for trading is held in 2-of-2 multisignature addresses controlled solely by the trading peers themselves.
• Bisq does not hold any national currency. National currency is transferred directly from one trader to the other using traditional banking and payment services.
• All Bisq data is transferred over its own secure peer-to-peer network, which is built on top of the Tor network—no central servers. This means there are no data honeypots, rendering large-scale hacks of customer information databases impossible.
• Bisq does not know anything about traders who use its network, and no data is stored on who trades with whom.
• Bisq does not require registration, so your privacy is protected, and you can begin trading instantly.
• Bisq is code, not a company. It is an open-source project organized as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) built on top of Bitcoin.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for people to volunteer for completing trades in the markets that need it DEXs the most such as high inflation countries (Like Turkey and Lebanon), countries with a lot of currency exchange regulations (such as Venezuela and Argentina), and untapped markets where P2P is being led by Centralized institutions, like the case of Binance in Latin America.

Here's a link to our wiki in case you have any question of how it works, what to do, how to do it.

And here's a link to our Matrix Chat in case you would like to contact us directly, we will be happy to provide you with the help you need to open a trade in your local currency, or you could also contact me directly.

​

Please remember that Bisq is a Bitcoin P2P exchange, totally decentralized and that operations depend on its users not a central group of coordinators.
