But the reason I do not like face to face sales of bitcoin is that it can lead to physical attack. We have read on different news about different people that were physically attack all because those that attacked them know that they have bitcoin. Attack can come from anywhere, even from someone that you will not expect.
There have been many reports of people being stabbed because criminals knew they had a lot of bitcoin, so they could stalk you in any way possible. Once you let your guard down, they would take action to steal your coins.
So, after many incidents like this, I never talk about owning bitcoin because it would invite criminals to approach us in any way possible.
A year ago, friends or relatives often asked me about my bitcoin holdings, which eventually made us uncomfortable. However, I responded by saying that the bitcoin had been sold and used to purchase property, so they would not ask about the coins I owned.
Answering their questions about the amount of bitcoin I owned... could invite crime at any time.
