Bitbay, an application I've been keeping track of for a while, has been slowly growing themselves under the radar as perhaps the greatest decentralized marketplace nobody has heard of.

They released their new QT wallets recently with a new UI, and this actually runs on my Linux machine. 😬 You will be able to stake this coin on the QT wallet, unlike the web version.

But guys, take a look at [bitbay.market](www.bitbay.market) if you're interested in going long on a reliable investment. Their features page is nothing to play with:
- **Decentralized Anonymous Markets** for anyone to start their own P2P marketplace.
- **Double Deposit Escrow** to prevent scams. If someone scams you they lose their profits.
- **Dynamic Peg** to eliminate volatility while orders are being completed.
- **Anti-Keylogger** to prevent stealing of information.
- **Tor and proxy options** for adding that additional layer of untraceability to your computer.

They say you will be able to buy and sell *anything* online. [Land](https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/500242-i-just-sold-a-property-using-bitbay-s-blockchain-smart-contracts) has already been sold and settled on the blockchain. It makes [renting](https://blog.bitbay.market/bitbay-making-real-estate-smarter-37b8fce65bb7) easier, and can just about replace Ebay.

Their biggest competitor is Syscoin, which has a much larger user base because of their marketing. However Bitbay is by far the better product, it's only a matter of time to see who is the champion in the field of decentralized markets.

I will be keeping track of this new technology and showing you guys how well it works as I begin using it. A mobile app will be released in February, and a new Marketplace UI for desktop in March. If you're on this coin, just HODL.
