Excellent, thanks for sharing, good to have another option in EU for on ramping besides Peach, which is actually quite nice.
For the tech savvy, Robosats and Bisq.

Agree, IMO, for those willing to put the time, Robosats is king of the land. But we need adoption and most people wants convenience. That is why Strike, Cash App and Coinbase are winning big.
Pocket and Peach may not be fully ideal for those hard core private individuals but they beat conventional KYC by miles and are easy to work with and understand.
Unfortunately, business acumen and understanding of market mechanics is not abundant among many hard core bitcoiners, specially the ones that speak louder, quite antagonistic, they are a big part of the problem, the newbs are intimidated and confused by most of those individuals.
Those individuals will Ill speak of solutions like Peach and Pocket and will do worst for KYC solutions that are so necessary for the newbs, as Strike or Cash App or CASA, they do not get that the majority of people is not here for the tech or the Bitcoin ethos as I and possibly you, but for profits and they are happy with KYC and banks and the FIAT system. They dont get it, adoption is key, get them in, once in, let them learn and decide, many will understand Bitcoin and join the ranks.
You will observe some of them jump at this post for sure. I have seen you engage them before. My suggestion, ignore them and mute them, as if they do not exist, if you mute them, their comments show as hidden. Happy days!
