OTC vs P2P — which feels safer?
Earlier today I was talking with a buddy about different ways to move crypto, and it made me think about trust in general. I’ve used P2P a bunch of times, but every now and then I end up feeling nervous while waiting for the seller to confirm the transfer, especially when the amount isn’t tiny. At the same time, OTC sounds more structured, but I’ve never actually tried it myself. So now I’m wondering: who do people usually feel safer trusting — an OTC platform or a random P2P seller?

For me the difference really showed once I started dealing with amounts that made me double-check everything twice. With https://www.pundexcy.com, the whole vibe felt more organized compared to the back-and-forth you get on P2P chats. They walked me through each step calmly, and with that buy/sell usdt cyprus style of handling things, you don’t feel like you're relying on a stranger’s mood or response speed. It wasn’t about fancy features — just steady communication and not having to guess whether the other side will disappear while you’re mid-transaction.
It’s interesting how trust becomes less about rates and more about whether the process feels predictable. Over time you start noticing how each approach has its own rhythm, and traders naturally gravitate to whatever makes the whole experience feel less chaotic.
