Have you ever exchanged BTC face to face?

[riptv]

I have experienced to exchange btc face to face and the deal has not any problems we met in a cafe and when he transfered the coins to me I gave the money to him.

Having an onhand trading with Bitcoin through meet up is necessary for those who want to have an extra security in buying or selling Bitcoin. It is easy when both of them have the same wallet where they could access and trade upon.

Yes but only with my well known friends for example I know that person from a social media and I trust that person then why wouldn't I do it,
I would meet up with the person in a crowded place like mall or a fast food chain just to be safe .

Same. I was apprehensive at the idea first but meeting face to face worked out in the end but that's only because I had previous experience with the person.

i am selling bitcoin with face to face with my friends and i do it this for twice in at least one months ago and i really like it, because we can make relationship with our friends. beside that, we can feel safe when we make a deal with someone with face to face.

Not possible mate I believe to make that transaction easily face to face from your friend because if meet up in other location bitcoin using internet to make transaction face to face need to bring the movable pocket wifi, on that idea you make transaction using your cellphone transfer founds to their online wallet.

For now I have never used bitcoin to buy or exchange directly with people face to face because I for now I used to use bitcoin for cyberspace transactions do not have to meet directly by the seller.

It is unfortunate. I've done meet and greet with my bitcoin user community. and some of them sell goods and services onsite and I do face to face transactions with them. a bit awkward but it was very enjoyable. although you have to wait a little longer to get 1 confirmation first Lol

I've been using BTC for a while. I've been using it at exchanges, to trade altcoins and to order goods over the Internet, but I've never exchanged BTC with someone in front of me. At a store or between friends, or family. This despite having had long conversations about BTC with various kinds of people, and attending a few meetups.

Who has exchanged BTC F2F?
 

I have exchanged my btc face to face only on one occasion. I was terribly in need of cash at that moment and that was the only way to get money. I called a friend of mine and we then met.  I transferred the btc into and wallet and he transferred the money into my bank account ASAP.
It actually feels good transacting face to face.  It builds trust.

I don't have yet experience to exchange btc face to face with other people and sell it for cash.its because we use so many currency wallet then sell it to cash in their prohibited store.well, I have an experience to barrowed btc face to face with my friends.but not for selling it.

[buttonmc]

Same for me, I have one friend of mine, who is sitting at home and many guys including me just brings a cash money to his appartment in order to exchange a bitcoin, we call him Mafiozzi!

I have never experienced to exchange bitcoin face to face. I don't if the people here our place,it is a province, ever known about bitcoin. Even my family had know knowledge about it. I am just the only member involved in cryptocurrency.

Yes I have used a well known platform to do it, holds the money in escrow until you receive the bitcoin. Never had any problems. It feels a bit weird the first time though..

Of course we should not make exchanges for granted with any of useless platform, so if you hold your money then it will get wasted but if you will buy bitcoin then you will not face any difficulty but your profit will be high, at first attempt we should be extra careful because most of loses being done for scamming. So I am sure exchanges with face to face will be an amazing experience.

No, I've never done that and will no do that because I want to protect my anonimity and don't want any additional risks for my life (if a big sum of money is in trade).

What are you talking about dude? P2p transactions are abundant and doesn't really compromise your security unless you provide all your wallet security data. I'd done a lot of face to face btc transactions in the past both with people i don't know and with friends

[Svelto]

I did exchange Bitcoin several times with friends and buyers of localbitcoin. It is generally safe, just meet up with strangers in public places. It is a nice experience, I chat with other crypto lovers and some are my friends now.

There are definitely risks when you're doing face-to-face transactions with someone you've never met yet.
People have already been robbed when meeting up with someone from Localbitcoins.

Of course you can avoid that from happening if you pick a seller/buyer with hundreds of legit good reviews.

If today to spend Bitcoin for everyday purposes, it is only if there is no other way out. In any case, the sale of Bitcoin today is a waste of money. But regarding the Bitcoin exchange face-to-face, the market and the community of crypto-currency users are not yet developed enough to make it so common.
