What ? exchanging bitcoin in the street seemed pretty simple last time I checked on localbitcoins. you dont need to know the tech at all.

Plus, you'd be surprised how moder and tech-saavy young people in developing countries are (at least in the major cities).

Ok I just looked at local Bitcoin... I need to select a currency and pick traders, then select one who accepts an actual method I can use to exchange fiat currency such as a specific bank or zelle... How is this easier exactly?

It just seems like a bunch of rigamarole for no benefit, with the added risk of scams
