What are the pros and cons of buying bitcoins in person in a physical meet up as opposed to using an exchange.
Pro -> Anonymity. Well you have to show your face, but not your POR and bank account details.
Con -> Robbery risk. It happend in the past and it will happen again. If you meet with someone in person you might get lured into a trap, hit on the head and have your money and/or coins stolen.
An exchange might rob you as well, but at least you dont get hit on the head.
