Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

The numerous security measures (Escrow, Reputation System, etc.) make the platform a safe and reliable Bitcoin trading place. LocalBitcoins doesn’t use the usual brokerage business model. Instead, as a P2P network, it works by connecting sellers and buyers that are located in the same area. You post an ad on the website and state the exchange rate and the desired payment method. Users in the local area can reply to the advertisement and arrange a meet-up either online or in person. The whole process is pretty straightforward.
