There are many others options, i would never, ever meet in person.
You really need to be able to trust the person, if you live in the same country you can use bank transfer to send the funds, also they could send you a paypal Gift payment (with strictly no mention of bitcoin or any message), start with low ammount, have the seller send you the cash first, then build up trust.
Obviously, as a seller you need to build up a trust rating.
You can do that here, by offering services and delivering them, like you see on my profile i have a +8 rating for many transaction. There are websites like Bitrated again to prove who you are and make you more trustworthy.
Then you can join groups, channels and make friends with people who are also trusted and who could vouch for you.
In this day and age and with the price of bitcoin, meeting someone to do a Bitcoin trade is asking for trouble.

BITTREX is by far the best and safest place to trade Bitcoin and altcoins.
I used to solely trade on Poloniex, mainly due to high volume, but this year they have been shady, i had 2 very "strange" things happen to big margins trades i have, when i went to close them, well in profits and they turned into loosing trades (id closed hundreds of trades the same way before this). Happened twice in a row back in April and ever since, i have not been back to Poloniex and never will, they never reply to support tickets now (i have highest ranking account) they can not be trusted.
Bittrex on the other hand, very easy to contact i have one of the top guys on my skype contacts, spoke with them on skype when i have needed to regarding my account and never had anything "unusual" happen when i have been trading there.
So please take my professional advice and try and avoid Poloniex at all costs.

There are many FREE options for learning how to trade Bitcoin, you have a whole host of really good Twitter users to find and follow. (if you see my Twitter and the people i follow, they are some of the best around) https://twitter.com/vintagebazaarOBThen you have facebook groups and probably the most popular right now, Telegram groups. I have been in Crypto nearly fours years, been in several paid group to help learn how to train, but no one or nothing beats the service i joined this year. The owner of website, is one of the best traders in Crypto, period. He explains his "signals" in well thought out you tube videos, often over 45mins in length, has everything in "one place" and is highly regarded in the cryptocurrency trading world. Learn how you can take back your life and live it the way you want (like i am doing now) See link below.

I would be absolutely over the moon if Paypal accepted Bitcoin payments.
Paypal stand to gain a lot of attention from accepting Bitcoin and gain more and more customers (every business wants this). Many people all over the world have trouble selling Bitcoin once they have it, they also have problems with banks and such, thats why we seen the rise of those horrible "western unions" and the likes.
If Paypal would allow people to deposit bitcoin and get cash, i see this as a huge boost for both Bitcoin and Paypal.

Well......
When you buy Bitcoin, you can gain and loose value, by simply holding it, so its it most certainly a investment, but not straight up gambling, as if you simply hold bitcoin, you will always have the bitcoin.
But often you will then go on to buy a Altcoin, which is speculating on a digital token. Speculating to accumulate more Bitcoin, which in itself is gambling. There are certain things in Crypto trading you can do to help you take a massive chunk of "Risk" out of the equation. I have been in Crypto nearly 4 years and been in a lot of groups free and paid, seen many traders come and go and im in the best position ever.
I have to thank a pro trader for his first class services, see my link below, it will change the way you trade and earn Bitcoins forever.

there was talk of having something special for ICO investors.
Has there been any more talk on this? Really, id like to have something to show for my investment, instead of feeling like a "Rager".
This was posted on Telegram yesterday evening: "Oh @yepyepbetbet I noticed you asked if there was any key art for the interactive experience. Not quite yet. We haven't gone into production for that bit, we are still in pre-production. THOUGH, we are getting ever closer to the experience/gift for all of you who have stuck around for so long ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) " I vote for the "gift" to be some branded Back To Earth Vaseline, its what everyone really needs who invested in $STRC and BTE ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

How could I play the game or if not yet released when?
Thanks for the update guys, no one has noticed the Eth Logo in the top right of the updated Anta image...... The first opportunity for most to try the game will be when the team here launch Pre-Alpha of the new version, this is scheduled to be released in November, in the UK November the 5th is a very Big date "Guy Fawkes" so that would be a perfect day to release pre alpha... (but im just speculating).

Great News.
Augmentors Team are in the process of making the awesome Telegram group that already exists, the OFFICIAL Augmentors Chanel .

Has the team made any efforts to get listed on the next best exchange to Bittrex, Cryptopia? Id really like to see AE traded on Cryptopia been using it for about a year now, never with any issues, always fast support and excellent security features. https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/PaytopiaCost is 5m Dot (their own currency) price just keeps rising, so the sooner the better.

China are the. Biggest fudders in Crypto this latest BS bam "x" had little impact, they can only cry wolf so many times.
You know what happens after they say they ban it, they have a army of people buying the dip, make no mistake China wants as much Bitcoin as it can get.

Great suggestion VB. We've actually been putting together a communication channel strategy to see where best to host which comms. We can go through it together when you land but Telegram is definitely a possibility ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Now there exist bridges. I dont really know how you do it. Someone who own such channel should be asked how, or just googled. So all communication channels are linked. Slack, Telegram, Discord, IRC. And lest say I am on Slack and whatever I type people that are on IRC or Telegram or Discord can see. This bridges usually make huge boosts in activity on difference channels, since 1+1 = 3 always. Really good idea Febo, i guess it would require some kind of script to auto post to such channels, but i doubt they can be used with each other, as Telegram works different to Slack (for example). The best option we have, is when telegram is open, that the new Community Manager @Slade posts ALL UPDATES to the following places. 1. Slack 2. Bitcointalk thread (here) 3. Telegram. Add to this 4. Twitter 5. Facebook I think it is in Saldes Job Description, ( would need confirmation from the Dev Team) someone should throw this idea out in Slack chat. I will be back in the slack channel after i have been to Visit the Team. On the topic of Telegram, i'll happily "run" it and will need someone in America "area" to help with running Telegram for the difference in time zones, so someone can be there to help, answer questions, as "round the clock" as possible.
