May gumagawa pa ba nito ngayon? I think way back 2012 to 2013 marami nito noon. Napansin ko kasi kung gagamit ng LocalBitcoins or Coins.ph, at least 1% in transaction fees ang friction. Of course, there's convenience in that minimum 1% in fees but one has to think na required ang isa or both parties to verify their accounts using those services.
May mga Pinoy pa ba dyan na nakikipag-trade ng bitcoins ng kaliwaan in person? Of course, sa safe place sila makikipag-trade like any coffee shops within the malls for example.
I have never tried trading bitcoins via meetups but through this forum, trying to look for buyers which have good trust ratings and have been well known already not to get away with your money, usually payment is through western union, which is the easiest way. But through the advent of coins.ph and other similar local exchangers, more people try to use more of these service rather than meetups.Btw there are also P2P selling or buying of bitcoins through facebook.
