PEER-TO-PEER TRADING

Peer-to-peer trading is a concept of crypto that allows traders to trade and communicate with each other directly. It is a direct system of trading with no third parties involved. 

 How it works 

 Peer-to-peer trading and exchange are like registering on a site; you only need your email and password to register, and you don’t need to drop an identification number or any other personal information. 

After registering, if what you want to do is buy, all you need to scroll through the posted offers and pick what matches your preferences.

  As a registered seller, you must post what you have for sale on the site and what you will charge or receive as payment. 

 After both parties have limited transactions, certain things would still be required for both parties to do depending on the site they are registered to. Some places might ask for a coin or some other form of collateral to serve as substance; upon successful exchange, the collateral would be released to its owners.
