How's p2p bitcoin trade on Nostr? All bitcoin trades should be made over nostr. I saw nostr:npub1m0str0n64lfulw5j6arrak75uvajj60kr024f5m6c4hsxtsnx4dqpd9ape project but it doesn't seem to have trading activity.

Or just do it with a real world web of trust with vexl. It’s pure p2p
I use bisq and it works great for me, the thing is if someone wanted to build an app that allowed normies to mainly sell btc for fiat the easiest way to integrate and to make the offer public would be through Nostr. Right now p2p is segregated through various p2p apps. If it was published on Nostr any app could take those offers.
Not necessary to reinvent your web of trust. You already have a real world WOT. I don’t want my name appearing in other people’s bank accounts. I want to meet give you cash and you give me bitcoin.
That's fine for some people, but most people don't have a real world WOT to trade bitcoin because there aren't that many bitcoiners, specially if you are a normie, you want something simple, just an app that allows you to sell as fast as possible without much interaction, I won't be able to tell a normie or a business owner to go to an app an meet in person with someone and receive cash in handled. They just want to be able to swap bitcoin that they might earn to fiat in a simple way, the simplest way could be an exchange but they can get blocked.
I don’t need bitcoiners to be in my web of trust.. that’s the thing. Your favorite pizza place, or your barber? There’s real world reputation and they don’t need to be on vexl to be in your web of trust.
The ability to buy peer to peer non kyc bitcoin is an educational tool. Why not tell a normie what’s important about it bitcoin and what bitcoin is and what it means by being a peer to peer electronic cash rather then having them participate in a financial transaction that leaves a digital finger print. It’s a different way of thinking that needs to be taught. Cash has been vilified because it’s inconvenient but not anymore…. That’s what Bitcoin as it was intended…..
Asking for a friend... are people using VEXL in Russia? or how do Russians by Bitcoin?
