Bitcoin is not so safe you need escrow first before you can deal to someone unless if you are reputative here in our forum..
If you deal to other without escrow you can be scam and you can reverse the payment unlike paypal that they have buyers protection that you can reverse the payment or dispute..
Even so, cases of scam happened even with very reputable escrow members from this forum, either because they turned to be scammers or they are hacked, you really have 0 safety and banks are definitely safer than bitcoins.
