dont act as a spectator, be a player than probably your comment would matter..
Exactly what I'm doing, not acting as a spectator and reminding people what kind of hyena is now spamming around here
There is a KYC free alternative to local bitcoins. It's called Particl marketplace.
LB was an exchange, not a marketplace, the two are completely different.
LB was used exactly because it was easy to deal with it, you would just look at the prices, decide from who to buy and which method, and at least here in EU with instant national transfers you could get your coins or funds in minutes and finish the trade.
That's why some don't get why other solutions are not getting traction, as the situation is now fewer people care more about privacy than about how fast and easy things can be done, that's why Bisq has dozens of traders and Biance p2p thousands.
I do not have charts for trading volumes, but the platform seems profitable, perhaps their profits decreased and therefore they preferred to stop rather than the platform dying, but the advertisement is somewhat strange.
Most likely.

BTC went down, from the 45 mils a week to 6 mils a week, at some point maybe the profit from it simply doesn't make sense anymore and you're better off just quitting. Assuming they are getting 1% of all that volume it would be $3 mil a year, with 50-100 highly paid employees in Europe as they claim just the wages and taxes and rent would drive that to almost zero. If he's an early adopter probably he has 100x more than what would be left over a year stashed in BTC already.
