Real-world reputation as the ultimate collateral in P2P txs

All of the current methods for obtaining bitcoin come with a specific set of their own drawbacks: Centralized exchanges put the users at risk of linking their identity to a trade, and while bitcoin ATMs and decentralized exchanges offer more privacy, they can come with high fees and are not always easily accessible or user-friendly. Trying to mitigate these flaws generates undesired complexity for the users.

In this talk, Lea will explain how we can reevaluate how we think about privacy in bitcoin transactions and the ability to trade safely, while still keeping the users in charge of their identity, without disclosing it to a third party - including the service provider.

Lea is a co-founder and the CEO of Vexl, an anonymous marketplace for trading bitcoin as it was intended: peer-to-peer and without KYC.
