Vexl: Bitcoin As It Was Intended
summary
A user loses a Revolut account, faces repeated bank closures, and finds centralized exchanges demanding scans and utility bills; a DEX requires existing bitcoin, ATMs vanish from the market, a 50 km round trip plus a €5 ATM fee makes buying absurdly expensive, and a Financial Intelligence Office email flags a profit. Vexl presents a peer to peer solution: Vexl marketplace where users can anonymously import contacts, browse offers from contacts, open an encrypted chat, request trades and optionally reveal identity, aiming to restore non‑KYC bitcoin cash trading.
