Wait is Localbitcoins really banned in Germany? Is the German government going to ban the use of Bitcoin in the country or are they waiting to legalize it or something? I thought it was pretty easy to set up a person-to-person exchange of coins against cash. I guess people in Germany still trade Bitcoins for cash among themselves right?
Localbitcoins is not banned in Germany but they decided not to serve german customers.
You can still meet with people and do your trades.Nothing illegal about that.
What Coinbase and Localbitcoins are missing for the german market is a license.No license no business, same as in the US.
