We are seeing more and more platforms like
https://localbitcoins.com/ closing the opportunity for people to trade bitcoins anonymously and the other alternative to do this is not well known or not trustworthy.
An alternative method of trading Bitcoin anonymously has also been trading between friends and family and also trading with people you get to know at Bitcoin meetups.
Do you trade Bitcoin with people at your local meetup or do you not trust them? I have got to known several people at these meetups and we trade often, but I do not know if this is standard practice with other people in other local meetups.
Please share your experience with trading with other people at your local meetups.
