Replying to Avatar Reagan

I like this idea- any idea how to really do this? I would buy sats from people I know, if they had BTC and needed to sell. But how do they know I’m a buyer and how do I know they need to sell? Honestly I don’t know any real world people with BTC… so maybe someday this will be feasible more than today.

There are several ways to do this:

1. Peer-to-peer exchanges like Robosats, Bisq, and others

2. Local meetups - exchanging contact info with other bitcoiners IRL

3. Bitcoin communities - like the best community in Bitcoin (Living in the Future 😏)

For real though, our LITF community is second to none.

I've bought and sold bitcoin plenty of times with other bitcoiners in the group. This week I bought some from a fella in Ireland who needed cash for a family trip.

I have heard of robosats and bisq, but never looked into them. Those are all good suggestions- thanks!

Also might be worth looking into haveno where the route would be funny money -> XMR -> BTC to make it harder for anyone to find out you own that BTC

Old school localbitcoins was such a great site. You could also arrange to meet the individual selling/buying in a public space to make the transaction. It was a great system.
