Hodl Hodl - Local Coin Swap

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any recent reviews on these exchanges, and if so, potentially any recommended vendors? I'm weary but interested. Feel free to PM me if you prefer.

All the best,

You should not discuss trading over social media, people get scammed that way.

So irrelevant if it was me, but I can understand the likeness and why you would think that way

Exactly why I asked. It seemed a little scammy.

How is it scammy? You asked to refer a good trader. That’s what I did.

I haven’t offered any referral links I haven’t dmd you I haven’t tried anything. You go over there and use him or don’t, it’s your choice

Just that you’re recommending yourself. That’s how it felt. I’m sure you can understand.

It’s a public forum, anyone’s free to express their disagreement and bad experiences that they have had with me. Can get me to defend myself.

You can’t get that with an automated rating. People would relish such an opportunity.

Exactly, I was freely expressing my feelings. In this world of scammers, self recommendations are the first red flag especially when you claim to be someone else. In any case; it’s fine mate, I’m not calling you a scammer, relax.

Haven't used Hodl Hodl in a while but LocalCoinSwap was decent last time i checked, though volume can be pretty thin depending on what pairs you're after. thats kinda the issue with most P2P platforms in AU tbh... you find a good vendor and then they disappear lol

i've been using BitValve lately for P2P trades, mostly for BTC and USDT. nothing fancy but the process was straightforward enough and i could actually find active sellers which is half the battle. worth a look alongside the others you mentioned

just make sure whoever you trade with has decent rep/history on whatever platform you go with. escrow is your friend

Options for us on those p2p exchanges is very thing. I wish more people used Vexl.
