6/ In late 2020, #Decred released the #DCRDEX, enabling trustless P2P exchange via #atomicswaps without KYC. The price of $DCR doubled within the first month and Decred is on its way to reclaiming its rightful place in the top 10.
7/ #Bitcoin

8/ #Decred has maintained its cypherpunk roots and ideals. It remains #permissionless, offers #privacy & #fungibility, scalability via #LightningNetwork, and will persist as a true #cryptocurrency long after gvmts and regulators monitor, control and permission most other chains.
