Buying btc from a forum member

[MrcMrc]

My best advise is that because you want to try a huge amount, you need escrow, I think there are ways you can use escrow on this forum too. Do not trust anyone, it is very good to make use of what could not make anyone go with your money. Even if the transactions is successful, just know that you as a person is not getting things in the right way and you can fall for scam even on this forum or outside. You have to follow they ways you will not be scammed, make use of escrow.

Don't forget, at the beginning of the presence of this forum, there are many buying and selling activities among forum members.
But I also agree with your statement, exchange is still the best place for buying and selling activities.

Either using an exchange or dealing with a forum member, it's always risky with large amounts.
Personally, i won't hesitate doing trade with some of the greatest profiles here in the forum rather than using the most trusted exchange ever. With a forum member, I will not have to do kyc or be asked about the origine of my money. In extreme cases, there is the choice to use escrows and multisig wallets.
In my opinion, the risk of being scammed by an exchange is great than dealing with a forum member (trusted ones) .
