As much as like the idea that there's no intermediary when it comes to P2P, I don't want to be a victim of a scam or anything malicious like that because when it's a raw P2P trade, the possibility that the other party won't commit to their agreed trade gets much higher and they don't have to crafty about it unlike having a middle-man/intermediary where they need to fake some confirmation to even pull off shit like that. Also, I don't get how it's confusing, you're just using the exchange as a platform to conduct a P2P trade, it's not like they actively meddle in the trades itself.

Bitcoin is decentralized. Having your coins on centralized exchanges is the opposite of what bitcoin is. The centralized exchanges have more control and they are the middle man because you have your coins with them and they have the complete control to your coins. That is not P2P, no intermediary in P2P.

The main problem in certain local p2p transactions is the fear of being cheated by anyone claiming to be an intermediary because the possibilities of being defrauded are quite high. I've had a similar experience, even though it was in a Telegram group or channel where they claimed to be actual p2p and I was duped by them. That is why I prefer utilizing CEX p2p to avoid such scams, even though they are not completely reliable due to centralization, but they have a reputation.

I agree, but we are not talking about how trading are on centralized exchanges, we are talking about the name we should called them.

Let's rename all the abbreviations we don't like. Since this topic is in the newbies section, if we use our own invented language on the forum, the newbies will get even more confused.
P2P will remain what it is, but you always have the right to use it on which exchange. It's good to be skeptical, but it's always better to use simple things that have been invented for a long time without racking your brains over names.

Everything is simple, newbies are here to learn just like I was here to learn when I came. People that do not learn will not move forward. I will start using to things in addition to differentiate them from P2P.
