The feature that makes LocalBitcoins unique is the direct contact between users. Most exchanges match sellers and buyers manually without the possibility of communicating directly. Users from all around the world can meet and trade Bitcoins through a fairly simple process. This is why LocalBitcoins is considered to be the “Craigslist” of Bitcoin. The platform is accessible worldwide, precisely in 248 countries.

However, services of LocalBitcoins aren’t available in Washington and New York. Features such as futures trading, derivatives, margin trading, short selling, or any other option aren’t supported. This is because LocalBitcoins doesn’t work as a traditional trading platform.
