The white paper is titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.
One of the big reasons Bitcoin is so cool is the peer-to-peer component.

Of course Bitcoin is peer-to-peer in a very pure way, there is no central entity, the blockchain is stored by all the nodes all the time.

The Bitcoin peer-to-peer markets are centralised and run by companies, they are peer-to-peer by the fact that the participants are other people and all as a whole form the marketplace.

Bisq is the only one that is truly peer to peer-to-peer but comes with quite a few inefficiencies and risks.

Peer-to-peer markets are more common than you think. If you ever went to a farmers market, that is a peer-to-peer market, if you ever use Gumtree(or Craig’s list) that’s a peer-to-peer market, if you ever used Uber, AirBnb, these are peer-to-peer markets.

Peer-to-peer markets are very interesting as it allows for multidimensional pricing, or in simple English it adds more depth to your experience, and as a consumer that means mostly better customer service.

Not long after Bitcoin was created so Bitcoin peer-to-peer markets popped out as these served the needs of the to be Bitcoiners way better than the alternatives.

Today there are a few dozen available, but the only ones worth mentioning are:

  • LocalBitcoins
  • Paxful
  • Bisq

We will definitely see more of them pooping out and they will be very specialised.

Join us on Wednesday for a crash course.

Topics:

  • Short history of peer-to-peer markets.
  • Reputation migration.
  • Why should you care about them?
  • How to use peer-to-peer markets.
  • Let’s take a look at the current ecosystem.
  • How to earn Bitcoin on peer-to-peer markets?
  • Interesting insights and weird dynamics.

This is a topic very dear to my heart as this is how I got introduced to Bitcoin and how I managed to stack most of my sats.
If there is such a thing as an expert in this very niche field I definitely consider myself one and I'll take any opportunity to geek out.

To the Moon, Trooper.
