The thing is as government is not that friendly to #Bitcoin u pretty much get big kyc businesses like Binance here. There are p2p platforms, but liquidity is not that great comparing to the west. Most people use centralized exchanges.

Situation worsened due to war as the western world introduced sanctions on “Russian bitcoins” (whatever that means). There are lots of hidden dangers in terms of AML policies and stuff, so unless u r an OG or a thorough reader of my resource 😎 it’s not easy to not get in trouble with your coins when for whatever reason u decide to send them to a CEX. Hence most people use CEXs.

That said we do have a small but strong community and we do get around.
