<p>Hi <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-user-id="26406807" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/Mark-BC">@Mark-BC</a>, when you enter a trade, the seller's BTC (the bitcoin being traded) is locked into a multisig wallet along with your BTC deposit.</p>
<p>So the seller's BTC is on the line if they decide to be dishonest. If they choose not to acknowledge your fiat payment, they risk losing their BTC when the trade goes to arbitration.</p>
<p>This is mentioned in the doc in the <a href="https://docs.bisq.network/getting-started.html#2-send-deposit-to-trade-wallet" rel="nofollow">first paragraph of step 2</a>. Perhaps it could be made clearer?</p>
