Never saw the localcryptos news closure, but localbitcoins shutting down is throwing away so much history right here, and I kind of blame them here because their business concept has never evolved with changing times. With so many cryptos on the market they heavy relied on serving bitcoin traders which become Obsolete with the coming of a Dex and many other centralized exchanges.

I guess localbitcoins has run its race and its time for others to continue were they left... Whose next to go, paxful
