So Bisq appears to be taking off at least in Europe. And Bisq appears to be supporting face-to-face trades, too. This guy here must be more into meeting Bitcoiners than into aping all in into Bitcoin.

He's paying a 20% premium for the honor of meeting you and buy your coins, starting at 77€. Limited to 154€.

I wonder if this is to get to know F2F traders to then trade even off-Bisq later? That's what happened on localbitcoins a lot as localbitcoins couldn't do much against people who meet F2F exchanging contact details.

Anyway, Bisq still looks scary and very technical.

meeting rando for btc deal is scary. I need to know their reputation, who knows them, who can confirm their character. Using bisq means you are advanced bitcoiner, which can suggest high stack, making you a target.

Yeah, well ... almost all people are not psychopaths and while I did meet people I very definitely did not ever want to meet again on localbitcoins f2f trades, I don't regret having done these trades. I really enjoyed 95% of these encounters and few of them are still friends to this day.
