    A peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange allows users to trade directly with each other without the need for a centralized intermediary. When a user wants to buy or sell bitcoin, they can create an order on the platform specifying the desired price and quantity. The exchange matches buy and sell orders, and once a match is found, the trade is executed. The exchange acts as an escrow service, holding the bitcoin in a secure wallet until the trade is completed. This type of exchange offers more privacy and control over funds compared to traditional exchanges.

    In a peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange, users can trade bitcoin directly with each other using a decentralized platform. The exchange facilitates the matching of buy and sell orders, ensuring that both parties agree on the terms of the trade. Once a trade is agreed upon, the exchange holds the bitcoin in escrow until the buyer confirms the payment. Once the payment is confirmed, the bitcoin is released to the buyer's wallet. This eliminates the need for a centralized authority and allows for faster and more efficient transactions.
