[bisq-network/proposals] Migrate primary chat from Keybase to a new self-hosted Matrix team (Issue #355)

[wiz]

> _This is a Bisq Network proposal. Please familiarize yourself with the [submission and review process](https://bisq.wiki/Proposals)._

Keybase has served the Bisq community very well over the past few years since we migrated from Slack. However, as many of you know [Keybase was recently acquired by Zoom](https://blog.zoom.us/zoom-acquires-keybase-and-announces-goal-of-developing-the-most-broadly-used-enterprise-end-to-end-encryption-offering/), which is not good since [Zoom is accused of censoring calls on behalf of the Chinese government](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/12/18/zoom-helped-china-surveillance/).

Recently [the matrix protocol](https://matrix.org) and related desktop/mobile apps have come a long way in terms of functionality, and now has a "teams" feature similar to what we are using on Keybase (known as "spaces" on matrix). I've been using it for the mempool project and other personal chats recently and found it to be perfect for Bisq.

While Bisq already has a matrix chat room on the matrix.org server I propose to migrate this to a new Bisq team on my self-hosted matrix server, accessible at `@bisq:bitcoin.kyoto` with a quick link setup at [bisq.chat](https://bisq.chat) - I've already setup the space and a few rooms for those who want to check it out. I recommend the Element desktop app, and fluffychat for iPhone. There are many other fine apps for Desktop and Mobile available.
