[bisq-network/bisq] Priorities (Bigger Picture Solutions) (#5271)

[m52go]

There's no doubt onboarding and UX can be improved a lot, but much of the work to do this has already been done. [Pedro's prototypes](https://xd.adobe.com/view/b01dfd7a-3f79-4744-8df9-08394d2ea1ea-e54e/) would go pretty far to achieve this. Problem is getting a skilled JavaFX developer to actually implement them...funding and talent need to be procured.

Another more immediate issue is [reducing minimum required deposits](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/295).

> If Bisq is unable to attract pros (market makers) and also too difficult for noobs... what market does that leave us?

I had a passing correspondence with a vendor who was earning BTC revenue and was having issues with one of the big exchanges in selling the BTC for fiat. I'm not sure Bisq would be a viable option for this use case without the API, but will follow up anyway...there must be more like them.

> In a day where bisq is doing revenues of $500k per day($20m per month) whereas binance is doing $30Billion per day, its clear bisq is overwhelmingly under-performing.

Binance is engineered for convenience at the expense of everything else, and Bisq is engineered for freedom at the expense of everything else. Of course Bisq can do better than it's currently doing but it's unreasonable to compare its volumes to operations with vastly different goals. Apples and oranges.

For growth I can say there _was_ a project board established last year for prioritization but there really wasn't anyone around to collaborate with so I stopped maintaining it.

China needs a mobile app. India seems workable without one, but [they need UPI](https://github.com/bisq-network/growth/issues/225) as a payment method.
