<h2>2019.04 report</h2>
<p>We had 4 growth calls this month, and all of them were hosted by <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=735155" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/m52go">@m52go</a>. Should think about handing over the growth role to <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/hovercards?user_id=735155" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/m52go">@m52go</a> <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="smile" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f604.png">😄</g-emoji>.</p>
<p>It was a special month for Bisq not only because version v1.0.0 was launched including the Bisq DAO. We also saw our second best month in USD trading volume, because of outstanding trading activity in the BTC/XMR market.</p>

<p><strong>+303%</strong> in avg. USD volume/day (233k USD),  <strong>+203%</strong> in avg. BTC volume/day (45 BTC) and <strong>+72%</strong> in avg. number of trades/day (70)</p>

<p>Although BSQ is only available on Bisq since 15th of April it already ended as the fourth biggest market on Bisq. In more than 50% of all trades this month BSQ was used to pay the trading fee with (and it was only available in the last two weeks).</p>
<p>So all in all it was an outstanding month for Bisq thanks to all the contributors and traders that support and use Bisq on a daily basis. All the excitement was only shadowed by the activity of a scammer which is now consuming most of our dev resources right now. On the up-side this would have happened sooner or later anyways and if we are able to deliver what is discussed in different proposals right now, we'll also have a scam-proof system soon for fiat payment methods as well.</p>
