I’m a bit confused…

Isn’t #BTC already peer-to-peer?

What does Bisq do that I can’t already do with #bitcoin

Bisq is a decentralized BTC exchange. It's designed for anyone around the world to exchange fiat for BTC in a manner befitting to no centralized authority.

In all honesty, exchanges are really an on-ramp and off-ramp of crypto, leading anyone to be spied on.

Yea… their website won’t even load for me right now

In your second paragraph when you say “exchanges” you are referring to centralized CEXes correct?

So Bisq is fiat to BTC only…not BTC to BTC (which is what their post implied)

Any exchange, really. They're a very good way to mess up on crypto OPSEC.

Bisq is a no KYC trade app. It allows you to buy/sell btc to other users p2p in a more private way, so instead of buying/selling from Coinbase, you buy/sell to other bitcoiners.

Ok. Thanks for the additional details.
