Problems & Motivations

Satoshi would wake from his grave, if aware of how people are acquiring Bitcoins on Central Exchanges.

• Centralized Exchanges (CEX) requests lots of private documents, from IDs to proofs of income.

• Those who buy cryptocurrency on Exchanges are never anonymous.

• • It is unclear how Exchanges use their client's personal & private data.

  • Mostly wallets and posterior transfers can be tracked by Exchanges and odd legislators.

• CEXs like MercadoBitcoin in Brazil have millions of clients and very expensive trade taxes.

  • They follow heavy regulations, and traders might become marked as crypto-owners by our IRS.

  • Their founders became billionaires but no Fund is shared among its users or communities.

• Most centralized platforms connecting sellers & buyers are full of scams and fraudsters.

• • On personal experiences, our team lost more than 2k on localbitcoin and other online groups.

    • "Someone used a hacked Paypal account to buy my crypto and had their money back in 48h"

• Cryptocurrencies on some "p2p" platforms in Brazil can be up to 35% more expensive than on CEX.

• We are part of an online group providing a "relatively reliable" friend-of-friends network of traders.

  • Most F-of-F solutions request a day-before BRL deposit and a later conversion and transfer.

  • Less bad, but it also doesn't give any guarantees of anonymity or protects the person behind it.

  • It also has a very limited number of possible crypto/tokens to acquire.

• On November 2020 the Brazilian Central Bank released a new payment system called PIX.

  • This experimental system (we read the papers) enables transfers in seconds over Qr-code.

  • Surprisingly, it implements the new privacy LGPD law, presenting the depositor's name only.

• It is time to build a Solution!
