Vexl is a mobile app giving its customers a simple, inclusive, secure and private way to buy and sell BTC as it was intended: peer to peer (and without KYC).
If printing more fiat would end poverty, collecting more personal data would end crime.
Freedom tech does not build itself.
Vexl Foundation is turning 3 years of dev/hack/day and Cypherpunk Meetup into something bigger:

Financial surveillance is here to keep you safe.
If you are still using Bitcoin apps that feel like banks.
You are not a Bitcoiner.
KYC exchanges making privacy their priority.
This is your Bitcoin on KYC.
Any questions?
It can't be worse, right?
Real Bitcoiners:
go P2P
spend sats
prefer PoW
meet in person
hate middlemen
verify, don’t trust
hold their own keys
avoid KYC databases
pick open-source any day
don’t chase custodian yield
Forget New Year's resolution.
We introduce monthly Vexl Challenge.
Download Vexl, do your first P2P trade and let us know, how it went! 😎
"Buying Bitcoin P2P was the first time I didn’t feel like I was being watched."
Every other way you buy Bitcoin:
Stop being a customer, start being a Bitcoiner.
Unless you want to experience this.
5 Myths about P2P:
1) It's unsafe
2) Too complicated
3) KYC is required
4) Can’t scale
5) Privacy doesn’t matter
Did we miss anything?
Cypherpunks in Cars brought to you by Vexl is back.
Prague. A taxi. @Jameson Lopp @knutsvanholm @Grafton and @Chris @ seedor_io squeezed into the backseat.
Filter wars, self-custody, Bitcoin politics.
Things escalated quickly when discussing @lopp _return😱
Vexl users trading bitcoin peer to peer, without KYC, enjoying real privacy and control, with no constant fear of accounts being frozen, funds seized or personal data being leaked by a centralized platform where they never truly owned their bitcoin.
If your Bitcoin needs permission, it’s not your Bitcoin.
Every masterpiece has a cheap copy.
Vexl team is growing! 🚀
It might make sense just to get some noKYC Bitcoin in case they leak you own it.

With fiat, you still at least have cash.
What you have with KYC Bitcoin? Beginning of CBDC?
