Hi. I am from South Africa and have come to a dead-end with regards to starting up on Bisq. My local bank-to-bank transfer is supported but there are zero people who trade on this exchange platform. Are there any recommended alternatives to trading with dollars or euros from a non US or Euro zone country? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, there’s Hodl Hodl but I don’t know what’s the volume like for South Africa. Bootstrapping a market isn’t easy but there are efforts going on on the [Bisq Keybase team](https://keybase.io/team/bisq) channel. Maybe you could join?
