Until now I have never done bitcoin exchange directly on other people or in stores that accept payments using bitcoin. that's because the country I live in has not been able to formalize the existence of bitcoin so it's hard to do bitcoin transactions directly to others

I've been using BTC for a while. I've been using it at exchanges, to trade altcoins and to order goods over the Internet, but I've never exchanged BTC with someone in front of me. At a store or between friends, or family. This despite having had long conversations about BTC with various kinds of people, and attending a few meetups.

Who has exchanged BTC F2F?
 

In my own opinion, selling a huge amount of cryptocurrency is very dangerous if you did not know about the person you are having transaction with, the best thing to do is just use a reliable exchanger in order to have a safer deal.
That's right, if you are not familiar with the person that you are dealing with and you are going to sell or exchange a huge amount of btc, that can endangered your life, something bad can happen as the person you are dealing with knew that you own huge amount, but its also a good risk so instead of being scammed over the internet you also have enough time to deposit your money from the bank, also better to have the deal in front of your bank so before both of you finish the deal you already deposit the money.

yes, I often do that with people I know but most of the things I do to do btc exchange of course I do through a social networking group that has a crypto community. I think it can be done anytime in any way, face to face and most important is the agreement and trust each other so that no one will feel the loss.

Of course I never ever try to do that or experience because exchange bitcoin in face to face is to hassle to do and also you can exchange bitcoin using internet with fast and safety transactions easily than to face to face you cant assure that safety of your bitcoin.

That's not common activity to exchange bitcoin face to face, but for my own experience I was buying personally the crypto coins from a friend. Bitcoin buying though a person doesn't come to my mind, because most transaction can be done wallet to wallet.
I do likewise. Never have I thought that taking exchange btc face to face is a good idea in such a big risky environment.  As we all know bitcoin characterizes its anonymity, and almost all people get hooked on this feature, thus taking transaction by online is rather a good way in btc’s market. What more, it’s not really that most of people are aware of bitcoin, you might get no trustworthiness before making  transaction with a strangers as well.

I've made face to face exchange of bitcoin, and it didn't took place with a trader. My face to face exchange of bitcoin happened with a friend of mine who has got plans to make an investment into bitcoin. Rather than finding a trader and selling him, I got it sold to my friend itself.

That was a great experience dude! Atually that's one of my dreams with btc - to use it in my actual daily transactions. Honestly, I feel a little bit jealous to you because you are now able to apply the the concept of cryptocurrency in real-life situations while me, I can't still find a store/establishment that accepts btc here in my province Sad. I'm really trying hard to find one, everytime I buy something I ask first the vendor if he receives btc but I'm always ending like a weirdo in their eyes because they don't have any idea on what I am talking about.

Bitcoin is a crypto currency, so exchanges 99,9% are happening anonimously and online, I think there is no need of face to face exchanging after all.

I am more likely to use bitcoin to make payments on the exchange using the available websites. And for the moment I have never redeemed bitcoin face to face because I am too busy and maybe I am too lazy to get out of the house

No I never did such transaction because face to face transaction is very risky one, most of time I used to exchange them through local exchanges. So that they can directly deposit in my bank account without any delays.

currently I have never done bitcoin exchange directly face to face, I used to use bitcoin only for long distance transactions, while for close-up face to face I have never used bitcoin for transactions.

I already experience exchanging BTC face to face because I demonstrate it to my friend how amazing the technology is. I am the one who taught him about bitcoin and I assisted him in making a wallet and how to send it so I send him bitcoin and he paid me fiat for it. It may not happen often now but I believe later on when there would be mass adoption then there would be more transactions that will happen face to face. Nowadays when there are big transactions happening then it would be better to do it face to face to avoid being defrauded or cheated.

I exchanged BTC and ETH face to face several times but only with friends and with people I know. Some of them are mining and do not familiar with Exchanges and do not want to pay the fees etc.
And also some friends  wanted to buy Bitcoin and ETH and were not educated that time to do it themselves, so I helped them.
