WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE HARD?

How can we attract many more Bitcoin adopters and expand the bitcoiner community?

With fiat currency, you are one step away from having assets frozen. It only takes a misinformed court decision, a new law, or a decree, and you'll soon be in trouble. We know Bitcoin is a powerful weapon against state control and totalitarianism... however, besides knowing how to buy BTC correctly, it's essential to facilitate contact with this universe.

Most people, even libertarians, trade Bitcoin on exchanges that provide their personal data to Leviathan. Why? Because it’s “easier”. However, this is definitely not the smartest way. Nevertheless the reality is that there is no solution that facilitates the experience of Bitcoin enthusiasts, especially for newcomers. Actually for a short time.

With time and practice, one can learn to negociate Bitcoin without intermediaries, that is, without centralization through P2P. Those exchanges, like "Bibi," which share your personal details are no longer an option. However, there remains a difficulty barrier that newcomer facing to leverage this decentralized tool and feel confident embarking on this Bitcoin journey.

Sure, Bisq is pretty nice, it’s robust and complete. But it's not truly "easier." What if there could be a P2P exchange with everything you need that's friendlier and easier? After all, why does it have to be, or seem, so hard?

In fact, creating the ideal solution isn't easy, but Carlos Gabriel and Thiago Christ believed it was possible and rolled up their sleeves. With bold initiative and sheer determination, SpikeToSpike was designed for this purpose: simplification. A reimagined P2P exchange so that the experience of trading Bitcoin securely and privately becomes entirely user-friendly.

The founders promise to launch the exchange later in 2023. Gabriel is a hardcore bitcoiner who has already tested the market successfully with his first venture, Arbit DeFi, a solution aimed at liquidity arbitrage, and serves dozens of P2P clients daily. Thiago is in charge of structuring the business organization and building the best exchange experience, that promises to make Bitcoin trading more intuitive and straightforward.

Together, Gabriel and Thiago aim for SpikeToSpike to be the number one P2P exchange in the market, expanding the community and Bitcoin universe.
