I've been using BTC for a while. I've been using it at exchanges, to trade altcoins and to order goods over the Internet, but I've never exchanged BTC with someone in front of me. At a store or between friends, or family. This despite having had long conversations about BTC with various kinds of people, and attending a few meetups.
Who has exchanged BTC F2F?
I have exchanged my btc face to face only on one occasion. I was terribly in need of cash at that moment and that was the only way to get money. I called a friend of mine and we then met. I transferred the btc into and wallet and he transferred the money into my bank account ASAP.
It actually feels good transacting face to face. It builds trust.
