Wah? Escrow is an optional thing that many markets demand.

"We" don't "need" anything. If you don't want to use it you're free to make irreversible transactions. The question was whether this exists as an option, because like it or not most people prefer it (and probably should have it because they don't know what they're doing. Even experianced bitcoiners often slip up and lose their coins.)

The difference is it's optional. We don't need a third party, but some people may desire one.
