Title: Telegram otc bitcoin market
Post by: mantas on September 27, 2016, 03:27:54 PM
I just saw at a bitcoin related channel in Telegram someone asking where to buy bitcoins without giving personal data to Localbitcoins. Another one replied "How much do you need?" and now they might be speaking about doing the exchange in a private conversation.
Are there any telegram channels to buy and sell bitcoins? Do you see any possibility to operate through a bot for this purpose? Telegram is not reallly a decentralized party but with encrypted chats, I consider they are providing more privacy than Localbitcoins.

People are already utilizing Telegram for bitcoin related activities. You can find multiple Channels and Bots developed for Telegram on Reddit.

There is for example Telegram Bot which  will notify you about incoming transactions for specified addresses. You won't need to check wallet all the time if you expect a payment.
