## Centralized p2p exchanges
These exchanges are centralized in nature but facilitate p2p trades and don't require KYC.

## Decentralized exchanges
These exchanges are decentralized in nature and don't rely on a central website or server.
- https://bisq.exchange
- As exchanges are done on-chain they can get very pricy in high fee environments
## Tips
- face to face cash or cash by mail are most private, but come with more potential risk. Be smart, choose public places in the day time, etc.
- USPS Money Orders can be purchased entirely with cash, usually the best remote option as far as privacy is concerned
- if you use Zelle/Cash App/etc., don't include any payment or trade info in the comments field etc.
