How to create an offer to buy BTC with EUR
First download, install Bisq and create a backup (copy seed words). 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.
