In 2024, if a normie friend wants to buy BTC with fiat, how do you tell them to do it? Buy Tether then go to Bisq? LocalBitcoins? Go to a meet up?
Discussion
I used to be able to say "just come by my office with cash and a smartphone, I'll sell you some corn, legally, with no bank account, phone #, or drivers license."
I think we just have to become outlaws.
Of course we're the outlaws - Bitcoin is able to operate outside of them.
Normalization through adoption is our sword.
Why Tether?
Go straight to Bisq, or better yet Robosats.
Localbitcoins is no longer operating.
Peach Bitcoin is also an option but will eventually fall for the same reasons Localbitcoins did.
