Although more than 90% of their trade happens online, Local Bitcoins offers a solution for those of you looking for an old fashioned brick and mortar buying and selling experience. Local Bitcoins allows you to find people near you who are looking to sell some coins, or buy them from you. You simply log in, input how many Bitcoins you’re looking to buy and put in your city and payment method and you’re good to go. The site then provides a list of sellers near you that meet your criteria. You can either meet with them in person or complete the transaction in a different manner. The genius of the platform is the fact that it connects the seller and the buyer, in a safe manner with a rating system that allows people to establish their reputation and surpass some of the scary unknowns.
The mechanism to make the exchange safe works as follows: Once the transfer process starts between you and the seller, the Bitcoins in question are put into escrow. After you have completed the transaction from the buyer side, the seller then frees up the Bitcoins in escrow and they will be transferred to your account. It’s as simple as that.
