Crypto News from around the World

The government of Zimbabwe banned the use of the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies for local transactions; conversely, the demand for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been soaring. Some citizens have leveraged on this newfound cryptocurrency awareness to offer blockchain-based services and business so as to bypass government restrictions. Once again, Bitcoin to the rescue! Adoption, anyone?

Trading Peer-To-Peer

Trading peer-to-peer is arguably the best way to buy cryptocurrency because you don’t have to pay fiat deposit fees or trading fees. When you trade peer-to-peer, you buy/sell directly from/to another individual. Exchanges that allow this basically provide an escrow service so that the trusting strangers doesn’t become an issue. When you trade peer-to-peer, you trade directly with another individual. There are peer-to-peer platforms that allow both traders to interact directly without escrowing the crypto. These are automated and run by pre-programmed software and hence do not usually require any human involvement. The software matches the buyer and seller based on the terms selected by both parties. However, if there’s a dispute, the third party can step in to help resolve this.

One major advantage of trading peer-to-peer is that you can buy/sell at prices better than the current market price (depending on the price set by the trader).

Busha stands out in that it has a unique way of settling disputes. We invite the buyer and seller into a group chat with our support personnel where the issue is amicably resolved.
