The only reason why someone would choose to embark on such a fool’s mission would be nothing more than just ignorance, ignorance of the danger he initially had himself put by agreeing to meet a total stranger to do what? Trade crypto? What the fuck was he actually thinking? On a normal day, I can’t even disclose to a stranger online or offline that I’m a bitcoiner or that I own any asset, let alone agree to meet with God knows who to trade my crypto asset. The report says he’s a kid, which explains the reason why he was so naive, and I bet he was also barely new to the crypto sphere because anyone who’s been around the crypto space for long would know better than to put himself in harms way all in the name of trading their asset.

Just like you said, he's still new in the crypto space otherwise he would have understood the importance of being anonymous about any crypto dealings with anyone you meet from the internet and i also see that he isn't exposed at all. Even during p2p operations on exchanges i don't even give out my phone number to online merchants who request for it because i know very well that most people on the internet are scammers and has ulterior motives so if you are not smart enough you can endanger your funds or your life. Newbies falls into this kind of traps a lot because they are naive and curious to connect with others who have been in the crypto industry for long. The problem with most newbies in the crypto space is that they mostly believes everything they see and find out from the internet instead of enquiring from people around or reliable sources before they practicalize what ever they hear from the internet. I think the boy must have learnt a great lesson of his life now and will not fall to this kind of situation again in the future.

And it’s quite unfortunate that most newbies or people in the crypto space have to learn the hard way about the importance of privacy and anonymity within the crypto space. crypto enthusiasts and bitcoiners are not just targeted by scammers alone but also governments and authorities (in some countries). Some people have these generally accepted mentality that those who are into crypto are already rich and have made lots of money from crypto, thus making them an easy target for criminals and scammers, and that’s why it’s important to always be cautious about telling people you’re into crypto, to ensure your safety and that of your assets.

I totally agree with you. Meeting stranger to trade cryptocurrency is very dangerous. It is surprising someone would take such risk especially since cryptocurrency deals should be kept private and secure. People with experience in cryptocurrency know to be careful. They understand importance of safety and keeping things secret. Sharing financial information or meeting strangers to trade is big warning sign. This incident shows we need to educate people about cryptocurrency safety. Newcomers to cryptocurrency should know risks and take steps to protect themselves.

Indeed, every single day, new people get introduced into the crypto sphere and not all of them are aware of the risks involved when privacy and anonymity is compromised, so yes it’s the responsibility of those who are fully aware of it to educate them in order to avoid scenarios such as this from occurring in the future.
Although, it’s true that we can’t actually create awareness for everyone but at least we can tell as much people as we can.

Afraid that the men were trying to steal his cash, ZK says he bolted to the nearest mall and shouted for help. They allegedly chased after him, but ZK says he managed to outrun them and report the incident to police.
We just have to be extremely careful with whom we meet online. Most of the time why people still fall victims of scam is because that play deaf ears to the warnings thats obviously everywhere for them to see. Someone you barely know promising you to rewards you a huge amount of money but first you have to pay this or that.. you need to be wise and see that they want to scam you.. from your story here, the worst part is he actually still came to the changed location. He was lucky though as some persons doj live to tell the tales. Crypto users are always targets for thiefs and scammers and that why you need to keep your identity hidden from the unknown.

Why would I trade my Bitcoin physically when there are verified platforms and exchanges like Binance, Bybit, Okx and many others that I can use to make my trade. These exchanges are very fast, easy to use and reliable, can be done at the comfort of your homes.

I have heard so many scary and sad stories about wrench attack and I don't want to be a victim.Many scammers try to get their victim through some social media group and I also believe this victims that go for physical trading would be newbie in the cryptocurrency era. Even if I wanted to have some physical trading, it would be someone that I have known for long and am probably meeting the person with a company.

The main goal of Bitcoin is to establish the financial freedom and there are also a goal aside and that is the privacy it is true that it has the open blockchain to see the balance on your wallet but until you say that the wallet address is your in publicly. So we shouldn't forget this and overall about the Financial privacy is also one of the most important think you don't maintain your financial freedom and talking around about the income and assets of yours in publicly, It is also natural to not skip the eyes of the criminals or the bad peoples and here at the end of the day that incident won't gonna happening you have no guarantee.

Those exchanges most of the time are what they use as a third party to connect to the people they trade with.
 
Some people just think they are protecting their privacy from connecting their account to that of the buyer, which is why they negotiate with the buyer to see face-to-face to conduct the exchanges, which they end up scrolling themselves up if they meet the wrong person.

In the country were I am from, we no longer use binance to exchange coins to fiat because binance has delisted p2p from Nigerian users, and the funny thing is that binance is one of the popular exchange we use in my country. But although, there are other exchanges that functions perfectly like binance such as bitget and some others. However, even if I would trade Bitcoin (crypto currency) physically, it would be with my relatives instead of a stranger.

This is not about bitcoin but USDT but it is a lesson for those people that like to trade their coins physically. Such people do not like themselves at all. It can lead to attack.

The guy met the USDT seller on Telegram. What!!! Telegram that is full of scammers. He said he had no choice because the guy was the only one that reached out to him. The plan was to meet at a public mall but the USDT seller changed the location and he accepted. The new location is a car park where he was attacked.

Mothership reports that the teenager, known only as ‘ZK,’ was attacked by the men after meeting the crypto seller in a car park on August 29.

As the deal was going down, ZK claimed that the men, looking like “regular pedestrians,” passed by before one of them punched him across his left cheek.

Afraid that the men were trying to steal his cash, ZK says he bolted to the nearest mall and shouted for help. They allegedly chased after him, but ZK says he managed to outrun them and report the incident to police.

Offline USDT sale abandoned after buyer gets punched in face
This to me, is the most reckless thing to do "Physical trading via someone from Telegram" and if I should trade my cryptos outside online secure P2P platforms in the case of no other available options, because in my area car parks are the most dangerous zone to do this kind of business, someone who has bad intention can easily arrange bad boys ( the motor park touts) to attack anyone.

I will only go for this deal if it is to be transact and done in a well secured area, such as inside the Bank, fast-food out let or various places where I'm sure that there are presence of security operatives, so if not inside a secured zone, that's if I should engage in physical crypto dealings of any sort, Bitcoin, USDT and just to mention a few, no deal.

I do not agree with this because if you want to trade bitcoin with someone physically, definitely you are living in the same state or even the same town. Such person can know or easily later know who you are and where you live. This is the reason I will always avoid such people. Also if the person know your identity, it can led to physical attack. We have read several cases of physical attacks that is about cryptocurrencies. Both of you can meet in a public but that does not mean the person can not be able to trace where you live.

It is very dangerous to trade with a stranger you just met on social media. Telegram has proved to be the number one scam social media platform. Even if I want to engage in physical trading, it will be in a public place, maybe a bank, supermarket or popular restaurant. Depending on the amount I won't mind involving a third party. It will be difficult to be robbed in these public places since people are already present. Trading should also be done during the day and not late at night. Changing the location is a red flag that should have been considered by any trader. Physical P2P can easily expose the identity of traders, thereby exposing them to risk. This is why I would also prefer to exchange my coins in a reputable decentralized exchange. 

Physical P2P should only be done with people you trust, in a highly surveilled place like inside a bank lobby. Or with untrusted people but with a lot of security to back you up.

This is what often happens when you try to avoid the regulation involving buying and selling coins. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it can be quite deadly for you.

I think this is the first time I’m hearing that people actually do trade their Bitcoin physically in a location of their choosing. I mean do people need to reminded or told before realizing the importance of security and safety or to learn the fact that safety shouldn’t be compromised for anything.

I believe there are several platforms that supports p2p trading, and most of em have their different regulations and terms of trade, so if you’re not okay with a platform’s regulations, then move to the next one, it’s as simple as that, rather than deciding to risk your life and compromising your safety and that of your funds.

Trading bitcoin face to face is a good option to protect your privacy, but there are certain precautions that must be taken. You cannot allow your trading partner decide where both of you would meet, you both must collectively agree to meet in a public place with a lot of people around, if you do this and maybe go there with a friend or something, i doubt if you will encounter any problems, and also where you initiate contact with your trading partner also matters, it shouldn't be on social media.
I do not agree with this because if you want to trade bitcoin with someone physically, definitely you are living in the same state or even the same town. Such person can know or easily later know who you are and where you live. This is the reason I will always avoid such people. Also if the person know your identity, it can led to physical attack. We have read several cases of physical attacks that is about cryptocurrencies. Both of you can meet in a public but that does not mean the person can not be able to trace where you live.
I wouldn't allow such trade to happen because since both are from the same City even though the person does not trace you immediately but with constant trading he would definitely track you down to know where you are staying, so for me even though I will allow a physical trade it should be a person that from other States maybe while meeting we can meet in a public place where the person will not have any trace of my location maybe since it's a physical trading partially he may ask of my name maybe through my name he can track with the name but of course I wouldn't want to give out a direct name to maintain privacy.
