How are the buyers and sellers finding each other?
Through private, public and broker specific chatrooms:
- Broker hosted secure chat rooms.
- IRC chatrooms #bitcoin-otc.
- Skype chatrooms (hosted by Cumberland).
- Telegram, even LinkedIn (according to Forbes) - six figure trades are common.
Through OTC Brokers
- iTBit OTC.
- HiveEx OTC.
Usually OTC on-exchange also uses the exchange platform to become a chatroom, but should third parties should also participate in this chat ?
It is better to use OTC on-exchange because we also have to consider risks.
