I think there are still people-to-person purchases like they used to do and don't use the official exchanges like people used to do. But we must be careful to find these local sellers because we don't know them well. Try to sell or buy a small amount of bitcoins to see how it goes and if they are really trustworthy, we can proceed with selling or buying a sizeable amount.

The important thing is we can trust the local sellers we find and if there is any suspicion, we can look for other local sellers. Usually, these local sellers can be found on social media to offer their services to friends or other people.

And try to meet the local seller so that we know who he really is and where he lives. And this can also prevent fraud because we don't know what will happen later.
