On of the disadvantages of Bisq is the fact that you need bitcoin to acquire bitcoin. This makes it impossible for newcomers to use Bisq and they need to first acquire bitcoin from friends or via KYC/AML exchanges. This is not desirable.

Therefore I would like to propose a funding mechanism for on-boarding purposes where people who wish to do so can lend money to someone without bitcoin who wishes to acquire bitcoin using Bisq.
To eliminate the risk of not getting back the bitcoin, the bitcoin shall be stored in a multi-sig contract where the newbie can only spent it when either an arbitrator or the funder also signs. The bitcoin can also be spent when the funder and/or the arbitrator signs.
