Title: Warning: Why is OTC Bit Coin suddenly being pushed in the Uk /
Post by: Hundred_Gram_Oz on October 22, 2012, 11:53 pm
Issues with Intersango and Mtgox recently have resulted in a many people advising Face to Face exchanges!  :o

For example:
localbitcoins
localbitcoins.com

By all means, this is a fast, workable method  of obtaining Bitcoin's. However it is not without its pitfalls and  risk's.

And sounds like a plausable LEO tactic. Shut off acess to bitcoins from above and advise people to meet face to face meets

Is this not the kind of shit we are here to avoid and defeat? Or am as paranoid as ever?

The reason I as is the name of a local trader is the same as A police operation against drugs in the west end  5 years ago. Never seen the name b4 or after that util now. Be warned!!

I agree

However there are  really not that many reasons to use bit coins at the moment. Good  and easy starting point in my opinion, if i was a pig that is.
