 Robosats, bisq, hodlhodl 
 I just started with Robosats. I've currently got a locked contract and am just waiting for the seller to do his part. But I'm a little nervous about it. Payment is using some wire service called Wise that I've never used before. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly, but I've got the first-time jitters. What's bisq and hodlhodl?  
 I use Wise often. It's fast and reliable 👍 
 Oh really? Is KYC verification required to use it? Or is the fact that you're linking your bank account sufficient confirmation of identity?  
 It's all fiat, so yes KYC is required 
 How do they do it? Do you just enter your personal information and they check it? Or do they require scanning your ID?  
 Yeah it's automated scanning of a residence doc 
 Well that sucks. My problem is that my ID expired at the end of August and I can't get it renewed for another month or two. And those bullshit ID scans always reject expired ID.  
 Bisq is the most decentralized on-ramp and off-ramp exchange there is.
