P2P is often described as a way to buy and sell crypto directly from person to person. Sounds pretty simple. But at least from how I see it, the difficult part isn’t really the word “direct.” The real question is: who holds the funds, who confirms the transaction, and what happens when the two sides no longer trust each other?
In traditional trading, the exchange stands in the middle. With P2P, the system often uses escrow. The seller’s crypto is locked. The buyer transfers money using the chosen payment method. Once the transaction conditions are met, the new assets are released. If there’s a dispute, the platform intervenes based on transaction evidence.
It seems like P2P doesn’t completely eliminate intermediaries. It just changes the intermediary’s role: from someone who directly sells the asset to someone who manages the process and disputes.
The problem is that people are still the weak link. Wrong transfers, forged payment receipts, trades outside the platform, restricted accounts… all of these can turn a simple transaction into something very different.
It seems that P2P is only truly trustworthy when users clearly understand what they are confirming. In the end, usage is the real test. That’s the part I always come back to.
