Noticed it a day after this topic
Court orders crypto company to pay N140m to EFCC for illegal USDT/Naira trade was made, Bank transfer vendors also reduced as most vendors went offline. I guess the bad news caused a lot of vendors to deactivate. And for your question; no it's not safe, don't accept physical trading with a stranger as the chances of you getting robbed, killed is high.
We do not have CCTVs on our roads/streets - your security is not guaranteed.
I no dey use Bybit most times so I never notice the change. I no go try am to face to face crypto transaction with anybody whether na for naija or na abroad. If I see say na only face to face trade option dey for this platform I go move to other platforms. I prefer make to sell at lower rate or buy at higher rate than to take the risk of meeting a stranger to transact trades. Even if CCTV dey my street I no go still risk am. Life no get part 2.
