Could you elaborate on the operational mechanism of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) cryptocurrency exchange? Specifically, how do buyers and sellers find each other without a centralized platform? What are the steps involved in a typical transaction? How are prices determined, and how does the exchange ensure security and trust between participants? Additionally, what are some of the key challenges that P2P exchanges face, and how do they overcome them? I'm curious to understand the nuances of this decentralized model and how it differs from traditional exchanges.

The buyer is now free to withdraw the cryptocurrencies from the P2P exchange. They can do so by specifying their chosen wallet address.

Upon successful completion of a transaction in a P2P Bitcoin exchange, the escrow wallet managed by the exchange will unlock the cryptocurrencies.

These cryptocurrencies, which were previously held securely in escrow, are then released from the wallet.

The release of the cryptocurrencies is initiated automatically by the exchange's system, ensuring the integrity and security of the transaction.
