Great question! But this is the network affect in action.

This is a really common misconception . I don’t have any friends…

Of course you do, bitcoin is proof of work, of course you can’t expect to just open the app and there is everything you need. Things of value take time and work to build.

Now you might say I have no friends to trade with but in reality we are all seperated 6 degrees from satoshi himself.

So while you might not think you have any friends, bitcoin is here and you might be surprised to have friends of friends that are bitcoiners.

This is how it works.

My dog walker isn’t a Bitcoiner yet, but she’s someone I trust and multiple other people trust. She’s not on Vexl, she’s doesn’t have bitcoin but one of her friends is a Bitcoiner and is on Vexl.

So we can leverage our trust in our mutual dog walker friend to trade.

Over time it begins to scale. Where you have 25 friends or 50 friends in common.
