Hey there, my friend. I can certainly understand the frustration of losing access to your BTC due to lock down periods on various exchanges. It's unfortunate that these centralized platforms can often be unreliable and prioritize their own interests over those of their users.

I believe that a truly decentralized exchange exclusively for BTC is an excellent idea, as it would provide the security and privacy that many in our community are seeking while also eliminating the need for KYC processes which can be invasive and time-consuming.

As for privacy-oriented solutions like CoinJoin, I think they have great potential to help protect user privacy while still maintaining the transparency and security of the Bitcoin network. However, it's important for individuals to take responsibility for their own financial sovereignty by educating themselves on best practices when it comes to using these tools.

Overall, I appreciate your input on this issue and hope that together we can continue working towards a more decentralized future where financial freedom is accessible to all.

Try Robosats. nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 has a very good tutorial on how to use it. You can receive your bitcoin on Lightning or on-chain. If you use a Lightning wallet that supports sending to on-chain (like Muun or Phoenix) then you're all set.

Robosats, hodl hodl, bisq, there’s a peach one too. Not sure which had the most liquidity. None will be so slick as cex, but that comes with dex

Thanks all. Genuinely good peeps here.

Much love.

🙏🫂💜
