We do prefer this way but are you that willing on making that p2p transactions with other people personally or would be going direct exchange online with other people? You are really that prone on getting scammed
plus we know that in speaking about convenience then these platforms or 3rd party do really give out that kind of services which gives out that good user experience which is something that less hassle.
Plus, not all platforms does require KYC (for now) on making out these kind of transactions which is related to fiat specially on having that conversion of your crypto to fiat, for some which before you could be
able to make out some p2p transactions which it would really be that requiring that kind of verification first before you can proceed.
Regulation and centralization is something that would really be inevitable in speaking about services that being offered and as long it is really that attached into some other centralized services
then it would be no shocking that they would really be touching up that regulation aspect.
So, you think using these sites gives users a "good user experience" and gives them "less hassle?" Many people are drawn to ease, but it dulls the senses. By voluntarily using these third-party platforms, you're basically giving up your control and security in exchange for a little bit of ease. Even though not all sites require KYC right now, there's no reason to think that won't change soon
Will you look at the past? People who promise ease and comfort have often led their followers astray in every society and every step of technology progress. How about regulation? The same thing? They're not just "inevitable"; they're part of a plan to trap and control people. After all the betrayals and broken vows in human history, one would hope that our minds would change. We still fall for the same tricks, though, don't we?
