Crypto Exchanges Are Being Censored In Iran

Yet another reason why we need uncensorable exchanges like Bisq!

As you can see here https://coin.dance/poli there's a significant number of countries that restrict or block Bitcoin trading. In many cases these countries, because of high inflation and capital controls are where Bitcoin is most needed and could help more people.

China, Turkey, India, Iran... all need an exchange that cannot be blocked, censored or regulated out of existence.

Bitcoin is uncensorable and unstoppable. Bitcoin deserves uncensorable exchanges.

Centralized exchanges can be hacked, censored or regulated out of existence. Bisq aims to be as decentralized and uncensorable as possible so that it can work everywhere. By never holding user bitcoins it also eliminates most of the risks of being hacked by not presenting a centralized honeypot target to hackers.

As a reminder of how large that risk is, here is a list of some large Bitcoin exchange hacks and security issues:

March 2014 - Mt. Gox exchange hack with $473 million stolen
January 2015 - Bitstamp exchange hack with $5.1 million stolen
August 2016 - Bitfinex hack with $66 million stolen
January 2018 - Coincheck $534,800,000 stolen
February 2018  - BitGrail $195,000,000 stolen
April 2018  - CoinSecure $3,300,000 stolen
June 2018 - Coinrail - $40,000,000 stolen

....and many, many more. For a much longer list check out:

(Replaces old one:   bitsquare.io - The P2P Fiat-Bitcoin Exchange  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitsquareio-the-p2p-fiat-bitcoin-exchange-647457 )

Bisq is an open-source desktop application that allows you to buy and sell bitcoins in exchange for national currencies, or alternative crypto currencies.

It is based on a P2P network in which each user hosts a node so that each user is fully in control of their data, funds and private keys at all times.

Unlike traditional online exchanges, Bisq is designed to be:

Instantly accessible – no need for registration or approval from a central authority.
Decentralized – there is no single point of failure. The system is peer-to-peer and trading cannot be stopped or censored.
Safe – Bisq never holds your funds. Decentralized arbitration system and security deposits protect traders.
Private – no one except trading partners exchange personally identifying data. All personal data is stored locally.
Secure – end-to-end encrypted communication routed over Tor.
Open – every aspect of the project is transparent. The code is open source.
Easy – we take usability seriously.

Bisq is for those who do not want to forfeit control or privacy to a central authority in order to trade with other individuals. We regard financial transactions as a form of private speech that should be protected from surveillance by banks, governments, and other institutions.
