View source for How to create an offer to buy BTC with EUR

First download, install Bisq and create a backup (copy seed words - see [[How to back up your Bisq wallet seed]]).

Make sure you have a fiat payment account set up. For example see [[Set up a SEPA payment account]] or [[Set up a Revolut payment account]].

Creating an offer to buy BTC is a slower way to buy than simply taking an existing offer, see [[How to buy BTC on Bisq with EUR]], because you have to stay online on the Bisq network and wait for someone to take your offer. But it does allow you to set the price and other conditions of your trade. By creating an offer you also help improve the liquidity of Bisq.

1. On '''Market''' tab select EUR - Euro

2. Click on '''CREATE NEW OFFER TO BUY BTC WITH EUR'''.

3. Set the terms of your offer - price, amount, payment method, security deposit. 

4. Review offer details including amount, price. Then click on '''NEXT STEP'''.

5. Fund your trade (from Bisq wallet or external wallet).

6. Click on '''PLACE OFFER TO BUY BITCOIN'''.

7. Your offer will now become visible for anyone on Bisq to take. Wait for someone to take your offer. Remember to keep Bisq running and online for your offer to be available.

8. When your offer is taken you will be notified. Wait for a blockchain confirmation for the trade contract to be confirmed.

9. When prompted, make the payment to the seller using your fiat payment method.

10. Seller confirms payment received and releases your BTC. The trade is complete and you can now withdraw your Bitcoin.
