Because people you trust, not just bitcoiners use phone numbers.
So my dog walker she’s not a Bitcoiner, but she is someone that I trust and we have each other’s number she might have a friend who is a bitcoiner that I can trade with. I don’t have to know her friend.
I just have to know that my dog walker trusts her.
Currently, there is just not a better web of trust in existence.
Nostr is a public key. It’s not a private web of trust.
What other private web of trust exists?
I hope people are building these.
But right now, when it comes to the ability for people to easily peer to peer they’re just isn’t a better option and phone numbers that everyone has!
We’re not trying to build a new social network we’re trying to take the oldest one we have and enable it now for private trading.
The thing about Vexl is that I only have to tell my dog walker about one app when she finally wants to learn how to buy bitcoin Vexl, and she can immediately post an offer privately and trade with the people in my network, but also in the people in hers.
Local peer to peer we encourage cash only.
Bitcoin starts local, not trading with strangers on the Internet
If you’re a plumber or an electrician or let’s say a dog walker or a hairdresser doesn’t matter you can post an ad on Vexl offering your services for Bitcoin and you’re sharing that privately with a network of people that you can trust.
Vexl is a tool. If it works for you, use it if it doesn’t that’s fine as well.
But I don’t know any other tools that are easier to onboard someone to be able to buy bitcoin p2p how it was intended.
With no KYC.

okay not bad explanation, i wont stop anybody from using it,
most people have no idea what kyc means anyway lol
if these are the intentions that can be a thing, altho the people who want no kyc are not the same group of people you want to reach with this i think, but thats just my opinion and im not even sure about that
