Hodl Hodl
Trade globally using any payment system. For any currency. Contract is created, Hodl Hodl generates unique multisig escrow for it. Seller deposits Bitcoin in the escrow directly from his wallet.

This allows trades to happen directly between users' wallets and without having to submit your identity to the trading platform. The main difference between Hodl Hodl and other P2P Bitcoin trading platforms is that we care about your privacy and do not hold user’s funds. Hodl Hodl is also cheaper than most of the other P2P trading platforms, with a maximum fee of 0.3% per trade. Another important feature of Hodl Hodl is that you can trade Bitcoin in any location in the world, use any payment method, and be paid in any currency.
