According to ["A message from Ray"](https://paxful.com/sign-up-transition), Paxful is closing shop immediately!

Cal me paranoid but that feels like part of "chokepoint 2.0".

Paxful has more than 6 (or 5 or 10 ...) million users and is in business since almost 8 years.

The other day, Localbitcoins closed shop almost as hastily.

These two were the biggest P2P trading platforms.
