Getting Started With BitBarter

Before we talk about BitBarter, let’s paint a familiar image in your head. It’s 2023, you’re going on vacation to Dubai and you have to convert your naira to dollars and your dollars to AED Arab Emirates Dirham.

You get frustrated with the currency conversion rate and stressed about the process.  Eventually, you become discouraged about taking the vacation. And this happens every day. Maybe not on your vacation to Dubai but on the business trip to China, and the family occasion in America.

It’s a vicious cycle and we go through it. But what if we don’t have to? What if there was a way to use your money in its original form without stressing to convert and facing losses due to fluctuating conversion rates? That’s why BitBarter came.

What is BitBarter?

Bitbarter is a secured peer-to-peer marketplace for cryptocurrency payment, trading and remittance. With Bitbarter's trading escrow engine crypto holders can seamlessly settle fiat micropayments using cryptocurrency, and global remittance can be facilitated by bartering and exchanging assets directly between individuals.

Upon signup, Bitbarter provides its users with four services:

• A free multi-currency wallet.
• A swap feature (to convert from one cryptocurrency to another).
• Bitcode services (for micropayments)
• P2P/Remittance marketplace.

The Bitbarter wallet currently supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB) and Tether (USDT). And the Bitbarter Tether is available on ERC20, BEP20 and TRC20.

The swap feature allows you to convert from one currency to another. And the p2p marketplace offers users access to buy/sell crypto on the platform directly among themselves.
