I think this is a common misnomer, as most people using P2P platforms like #[5] or HodlHodl go back to the same trader they've established trust and raport with, and often take trades off platform shortly after.

Another benefit of face to face cash trades is building relationships with local Bitcoiners while establishing completely unlinkable swaps of fiat and Bitcoin.

Interesting, the idea of going back to the same seller for new sats. Introduces both a lower fraud risk with a potentially trusted/reputable contact, as well as a greater single-point-of-failure risk if you’re buying Bitcoin in a locale where it’s outlawed, due to the potential for UC/sting ops

This practice is quite common. Developing working relationships with your sellers fosters the growth of the P2P community.

Totally dig that. Familiar faces are always nice as a buyer.

Doesn’t it put the seller at greater risk though? Depending on jurisdictional regulations
