PHP \u2192 BTC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to sell Bitcoin<\/strong>, you already have BTC and look for someone willing to pay you PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The marketplace brings the two sides together and provides the transaction process, usually including escrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual offers can differ in four important ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
