The Make an Offer Initiative

I've been reading around here for a short while now and it has occurred to me that the one and only bisq is having a holiday coming up! It will be a first time for me trying the platform, but I can wait a little longer so I can make my first trade on there a little sentimental. Plus, it's a great excuse for a newbie like me to get their feet wet with a true DEX. From what I understand, bisq is actually open source software that allows for a decentralized exchange that can never be shut down. That's crazy powerful and more people definitely need to know about this in the bitcoin space. What do you guys think?

https://bisq.wiki/Howto <---- I am using this link to learn how to do everything I need so March 20th will be as smooth as possible for me.

Here's an excerpt from the github page: https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/274

Summary
Following the 2018's proposal to create more liquidity on bisq, perhaps it's a good time to revisit this idea and give it another push. I believe it worked quite well back then and although it didn't reach the objectives it was a great starting point.

Proposal
On March 20th 2023 we will try to get as many people as possible to place offers on Bisq as a way to kick-start liquidity and also launch the newest release. Bisq 2.0.

Objective
Reach maximum number of offers published during 1 day.
If we can reach 1000 offers published on one day we will see a new high in number of trades.

The goals and initiatives that are trying to be accomplished on this day are amazing when you read through their github. So happy it's around the corner and I'm truly excited.

Does anyone else on here have plans to use bisq on the 20th?
Are there any tips newbies should know before using bisq?
What are some facts about bisq that would shed insight onto newer users?
What are some of the things that make bisq superior to other DEX's?
Are there any drawbacks to using bisq?

Thank you.
