I used bitcoin almost 1.5 year and I'm also have not any experience about exchanged BTC F2F.

According to me It is the safest method for exchange Bitcoin but Generally Maximum number of people do not exchanged BTC F2F.

Everything has there inherent risk. I think exchange bitcoin face to face could be a serious risk that must be taken with all seriousness and caution.  I like to transact bitcoin electronically and anonymously too.

Yes,I did with some of my friends who are living very near to my locality so we just hangout and trade the bitcoins too foe some times but trading with strangers by this method is quite risky.Because they might be a thief who just want to stole money from you.

In those days of limited services in cryptocurrency ecosystem, I have had to look for buyer for my mined bitcoin and some altcoin. I found one buyer on internet and we exchange in an open public restaurant. It was successful.

I have never bought bitcoins face to face. Fortunately now a lot of tools to avoid face to face exchange meetings and unreasonable risk

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?
 

I have done it but not in a stranger because that is probably a dangerous one because they might be a bad guys wanna get all your bitcoins dude. I am just foing it with my friend in school like for example they wanted a quick cash and a little one that cannot be cash out through banks so thry will ask me if I had a cash then I will scan their code and exchange bitcoins. But in something that I dont know and even if I know but I dont trust no i am not doing it. Just do some transactions at home that is a lot more safer.

no need to change coin f2f between friends and relatives. Because people are such beings that when bitcoin will jump up or down they will blame you.

I am afraid to personally deal with another person. It may feel awkward too. Also, another factor is that it's really hard to find someone who wants to trade face to face as the main purpose of bitcoins is anonymity which would not be achieved when we do face to face deals.
Besides, I don’t find any particular use of this. I mean, why bothering meeting someone face to face while you can do same task by sitting at home with ease. This is advantage of digital assets over physical ones. You do not need to travel in order to trade it. Bitcoin provides us speed in transactions and such a method is definitely equal to killing this feature. It will also reveal identities.

It is the safest method so far I used to exchange my Bitcoins. I sought the seller on localbitcoins who lived just few minutes away from me in my locality. We met at  a shopping mall with our laptops, and it went on smoothly. I think this is better than doing it over on the internet with faceless people or exchange that sometimes look unreliable.

Love yourself.
There is no way of having fiat for btc. So, we must have to exchange f2f. Sometimes, we do it with trust too.

I never experience to someone to face to face exchange bitcoin.. but i think that is why we are using bitcoin because we do not want to let them know our identity or because we are lazy we can just pay in bitcoin online without going in their place..

It is necessary to organize such meetings only in a bank or an office where  are a lot of people. To exchange bitcoin in this way is very dangerous, but you save on commissions and get money immediately.

Who has exchanged BTC F2F?
 

I had an experience before, when i was selling/exchanging BTC F2F to a stranger. I brought a police personnel (my friend) just to have security. And i just tip him for his service there. F2F is very nice, you can mingle other friends outside the cyberworld. You just make sure that you are safe, and avoid meetups on a not crowded places. Your meetups will be a coffee bar, malls, and other crowded places. Don't make meetups at your house, the tendency there is if the man you are meeting up is a bad person, its either steal something from your home or even kill you and left with your bitcoin and other expensive things from your house.

Me too have'nt exchanged bitcoin ever face to face with anyone.And even you as a legendary member never did it then i am too far behind that even thinking about it as in my country people doesnt even know about bitcoin, so face to face bitcoin exchange is not possible yet for me.
Face to face bitcoin exchange is a good method but I don't have an opportunity in my country. In my country also many people don't know what is Bitcoin. And very few people use this bitcoin they stay far away from my place. So it's not possible for me. My friends also do gambling, but we have not exchanged any BTC.

i never experience that, although i have some friends here who are using bitcoin and we also do some discussion about bitcoin on daily basis but still i never feel the need to do so. i mostly sell my bitocin through exchange.

No I Never Tried to Buy or Sell Bitcoins Face 2 Face Because There are Many Few Persons Who Use Bitcoin in My Area Even in My State That's Why I Never Got a Chance of Trading Bitcoin Face 2 Face. I Only Use Bitcoin Online In Altcoin Trading, Buying Stuffs and Much More.
I guess you might be wrong as I was also thinking similar to you before I was trying to find my local friends through this forum in local board. If you post in your local board, definitely you may find some of your neighbors too using Bitcoins and also want to buy/sell with you. If you start finding one person then you may end up with big community for sure.
