Why it was built

From the README: 'The need for KYC-free Bitcoin trading has never been greater.' The team's Telegram bot @lnp2pBot showed demand in Latin America, Cuba and Venezuela but relies on Telegram, 'a platform potentially vulnerable to government pressure'; Nostr removes that single point of failure. · Source (opens in a new tab)
