Users worldwide are constantly searching for the top cryptocurrencies to invest in, in 2022-23, as the digital currency continues its substantial rise in value. You will need highly specialized and highly optimized tech skills to trade cryptocurrency. Peer-to-peer crypto exchanges are a great way to do that.

Now Peer to Peer is a term that has been around for a long time. With the advent of Napster in 1999, peer-to-peer (P2P) became widespread. Napster was essentially a file-sharing program and a network of central servers that connected those who possessed files with those who needed them. The central index server indexed the users and their shared material. In the case of Napster, the shared material was music. When a user searches for a file, the server looks for all available copies and displays them. Two PCs could share data immediately if they were linked. To stop copyright infringement, Napster was shut down in July 2001 because it had a single server that many people used.

The notion of peer-to-peer (P2P) did not perish with the demise of Napster. P2P today means connecting directly with other computers and, in the case of P2P Bitcoin Exchanges, Bitcoin (BTC) owners to exchange digital material. There is no central server; instead, scattered “nodes” share information and data.

P2P is unique. It connects Bitcoin buyers and sellers. These are people who trade back and forth with one another. In essence, the sellers decide on their pricing and payment methods. Many businesses accept PayPal, bank transfers, credit cards, and cash. The Exchange is more like a dating service, bringing together people who want to trade crypto. They charge a nominal price.
