If someone asked me today what to know before their first P2P trade, I don't think I'd start with the checklist. I'd start with something smaller: the moment right before you'd normally skip a step, you're going to feel completely reasonable doing it. That's the part nobody warned me about. Skipping a check has never once felt reckless in the moment. It always feels efficient.
I'd tell them the badge matters less than they think and the bank app matters more than they think. I'd tell them a friendly counterparty and a legitimate one are not the same fact, even though they feel like the same fact. And I'd tell them that the two minutes they'll want to skip, the ones that feel like the only thing standing between them and being done, are, almost every single time, the only two minutes that were ever actually protecting them.
I wouldn't tell them P2P is dangerous. Thirty-some trades in, it hasn't been, not once it actually mattered, because the checks did what they were built to do. I'd tell them it's not dangerous precisely because enough people keep doing the boring parts, and that the moment they stop being boring to you is exactly the moment to slow back down.
I don't know what I'd have skipped on my own first trade if someone had told me all this beforehand. Maybe nothing. Maybe exactly the one thing that mattered. I never got to find out, and I think that's the only reason I still do them all now.
