I want to buy/sell BTC in person (meeting in a public place or whatever makes the other person feel safe).

I used to run a little store, waaaay back in the 'localbitcoin' days where you could buy/sell in person, with cash. I stopped around the $100 BTC days since the govt was cracking down on people doing what I was doing and wanting us to collect KYC/AML info.

Though that's not such an issue for single one-off person to person transactions.

I have some cash (that I've earned and paid tax on already) that I'd like to use to buy BTC. I don't want to take it into a bank because banks are going to freak out about any sizable cash deposit and I don't want to deal with the nonsense.

The people in /r/ (my city) and /r/ (my city-classifieds) removed my post. They suggested I post here. Problem is I really want to meet in person -- unless someone has a good way to buy/sell with cash without meeting in person.

PS: I'm in San Diego but can travel ~1 hour or so to meet. Can go to a bank or whatever to do this.

My son often attends boxing club. One day, I took my son to training, where I met a man who had also brought his son to training. We got acquainted and started talking.

The conversation turned to passive income, and he told me about this guy, XzanderSzn1991

we're still getting over 1,100 sats per dollar right now. anyone freaking out needs to chill and remember to keep some cash on hand for times like this. always maintain a cash buffer so you never have to touch your bitcoin stack.

everything's gonna work out fine. volatility is our friend here. if you thought 95k was a decent buy-in point, why are you stressed about this dip? going from 95k to 180k would be solid, but catching this 75-85k range for a ride to 180k is even sweeter.

picking up anything from 25-55k for a potential 180k run would be incredible.

been doing deliveries all week and every time i check the price i just see opportunity. as someone who spends half my time driving around the city looking for cool spots and birds, patience is everything. same logic applies here - you wait for teh right moment and then you act.

Hey everyone,

Just surpassed my first 0.1 btc! However im using a Ledger Nano s plus that I got off of Amazon to store it all. I know I shouldn't have done that but you live and you learn. I generated my own passphrase and everything. So it wasnt pre seeded, and I pass all authenticity tests.

My question is, should I move my funds off of my Ledger? Or is it safe for now? I know open source is preferred, but is it worth spending ~300-400 CAD on a coldcard mq, jade plus, etc? Or am I better sitting with my Ledger for now? Tbh id rather put extra cash into more BTC, but I know security is the most important.

Cheers
