. @jack -- we've spent the past 5+ years building Bisq v1 to be the go-to peer-to-peer DEX for bitcoin power-users. We're working on v2 right now to take on everyone else. Let's talk. Our heads together could result in something better than any of us could imagine. .

Bitcoin needs a Layer 2 "trading" layer. Using @hodlhodl and @bisq_network would be so much better if for example Liquid (L-BTC) was the standard. Low fees, 1 minute confirmations and confidential balances. Yes, it's semi-trusted but it's only to be used on temporary balances
