Announced discontinuation of its bitcoin trading service

LocalBitcoins announced on 9 February 2023 that it would discontinue its peer-to-peer bitcoin trading service after about a decade, citing difficult market conditions. Trading was suspended shortly afterwards and users were given a period in which to withdraw their bitcoin. The official site still states that LocalBitcoins Oy has closed its trading service and that remaining funds can be withdrawn by logging in to an existing account.
