How else would decentralization work besides being peer to peer? Of course it’s more inconvenient that’s why centralization always seems to win.

- vlod 4y agoOkay sure, but this seems kinda janky, no? I have to go to a cafe, hand some stranger some cash for btc and sit around for what an hour with them, so it can clear/propagate.
- bloppe 4y agoIf you buy a ton of Bitcoin you'll wanna wait for more confirmations. Anything under $100 you can reasonably just wait for 1 or 2 confirmations (10 to 20 minutes). All about managing risk. Or you could buy from a Bitcoin "ATM" there's probably one close by if you're in a decent sized city. Otherwise you pretty much have to deal with an exchange or find an escrow service that will facilitate the transaction or something.
