I don't want to download an app (besides my wallet)

But realistically, a bitcoin atm is the most convenient method to exchange bitcoin for cash in nyc. The fees are high, and I would rather talk to a human, so I didn't do it this way.

did you try libertyx?

# I posted this on here yesterday

## 'if' I suggested a p2p trade for Bitcoin, I would want to buy sats
you would receive cash in mail.

## As I would be initiating the trade, I would mail the cash to you first, as a gesture of good faith.

## Let's say we started with $100
Would anyone theoretically be interested in transacting with me?

## (In hindsight the seller would doxx their address unless one can obtain a po box address? Is that a thing or just in the movies?)

# reply

## 9 sats \ 0 replies \ @expatriotic OP 29 Jan

## Use Bisq for this as they have an escrow system and the deposit is quite large so the buyer and seller stand to lose a lot if they misbehave. Plus there is a reputation system.

# NO! I don't want to use sketchy escrow sites!!

Thank-you, for your blog I'm in complete agreement with you, I just want to find a good old p2p swap!

Damn sorry, didn't know that's how it works

When you forward, I can't zap you and we all get CCs instead of sats.

Funny how it can be at $100k and this story still reads like the old days, when you'd have to send moneygrams to CVS or whatever that was.

If only you were in India, I can easily help you with such a trade.

Insightful.

That's a subjective observation.
There must be a dime to be made offering some kind of walk in cashfor x that's not just stolen shit and gold rounds.


I'm in NYC. Is it even worth it to trade for Bitcoin in person? I can start doing low value trades if it's worth it monetarily? Literally take your bitcoin walk to the bank and withdraw money for 15% why would you goto me over an Bitcoin ATM? What is the common BTC ATM fee? 
I will seriously do this if someone can convince me. I don't have any money so I'd have to start under $500.

I have one of my photography publication books at PubKey. Would love to go one day. I got to meet TheDaniel though, very nice guy.

I made a post asking how to sell BTC in nyc. I tried a few methods, but the most interesting was "go to pubkey and try finding someone to make a transaction with." Here is my experience.
