+== Get a security deposit
+
+Just 1 more thing to do before we can trade with Bisq: we need to obtain enough bitcoin for a security deposit.
+
+To prevent fraud, Bisq requires buyers and sellers to post a security deposit in bitcoin for every trade. On the buy side, it's {btc-deposit} BTC, along with a trading fee & mining fees for the transfers.
+
+As of this writing, that means you'll need {btc-deposit-plus-fees} BTC.
+
+If you don't already own this bitcoin, you'll need to obtain it. How? You've got options. Do you have any friends or family who could help? Otherwise, you can try a local bitcoin ATM (many don't require ID for small transactions), vouchers, or bitcoin meetups/events.
+
+[WARNING]
+.How about getting bitcoin through an exchange like Coinbase?

You're right...perhaps I could change "exchange" to something more general like "place" to make it technically correct.

The point of this admonition is to handle thoughts/objections a layman will have at this point in the guide. Most people I've spoken to outside the bitcoin world don't know that...when they think "buy bitcoin" they think "Coinbase" not "GDAX."
