Yes. But then you have a trust issue in my opinion when selling bitcoin. They can give you counterfeit money. Unless they pull it from an ATM when making the trade.

is counterfeit money (cash) a big deal where you live?
you could buy a pen or even one those uv light things? if concerned that is probably not a big expense these days, I imagine?
ps. sorry about the bank mess you experienced

No idea. But I wouldn’t do significant trades in cash without taking precautions.

Don't forget that there's a strong governmental push in Europe to eliminate cash. Large transactions are very difficult

Yes, very true! I've grown up mostly in the digital age unfortunately so I'm bad at using cash myself as well.
