I believe  the topic speaks volume for itself as it is already self explanatory.
This question was born out of a real life experience  where a petty trader was publicly  harassed by some uniformed security  personnels claiming  to be some police  officers and after some investigations the security  personnels claimed that the woman aided some criminal  activities  as well as some internet fraud simply because she made her private exchanges public and the government as some point also frowns  at the use of bitcoin  in my country.

Now my worries is that, this singular act has driven alot of fear to some low key bitcoin holders in my neighborhood  even myself and there are shops I hope in town that operate physical  exchanges.

~Do you think those dealers are safe?
~And what's the fate  of physical  cryptocurrency exchanges(r) in your country?

Let's  discuss

Yeah, I know of an identical incident in my country. Some police officers from my country stop a bus and arrest a man with his phone. Later we found out that the man was involved in gambling activity and at that time he was holding 22 Bitcoin in his mobile Bitcoin wallet. I am not sure if that man was dumb to do that or not conscious enough to carry his Bitcoin within his mobile phone.
