Been in the space for a while and looking to connect with others actively moving decent volume in USDT/BTC through P2P or OTC channels — especially those working across borders and looking for private transactions yet quick away from CEX scammers and time constraints.
Did i hear you say centralized scammers, maybe you got it wrong, because one of the reasons to why many preferred the use of these centralized exchanges for p2p is their reliability and trust, and they also support as many as possible currencies, so you had better be more careful in dealing with people outside the exchange and if possible, you should get an escrow service provider if interested in physical deals for p2p, but consider the risk involved also.
