The problem is when you stumble upon some piece of sh*t performing MITM scams. One bad trade ruins dozens or hundreds of good trades.
I made like 10 trades and then met the scammer. Bank charged back the money from my account. I filed a lawsuit, won, but had the bank account terminated and was banned from some services affiliated with that bank.
For Lightning or Monero swapping, gift cards etc, it's great. But without a reputation system, it's too risky to interact with the fiat system.
