Do you have an example of such a decentralized exchange where these coins are sold?
And an example of such a coin?

Back in the day, there was a decentralized trading platform called Etherdelta where you could find many ERC20 tokens not listed on any centralized exchange. Anyone could come to Etherdelta, add their own token, and even create a kind of market with unique buyers and sellers. You didn't need to ask for permission to start trading there, you could frictionlessly import self-created or someone else's token. No wonder this place was full of scams, malicious copies, impersonators, and useless shitcoins of zero value, but at least no one could steal users' data or private keys because of the decentralized structure of the said platform. However, the chief problem of decentralized platforms like Etherdelta is that they are (or may be) decentralized only on a technical level but not on a social one. Etherdelta had a founder, a single point of failure, who was charged by the SEC with running an unregistered "decentralized" platform.

I see, very interesting insight thanks! When you say technological decentralization, does it mean there were no servers (similar to Bisq) and you had to run a client to keep your offers online?
Because if the software is open-source and the architecture is really decentralized, people could surely keep the network running, no matter if the creator wishes so or not - right?
