The best thing to do is to avoid selling your Bitcoin to someone physically if you do not know this person and are not sure that they are someone you trust.

If you are selling Bitcoin to a close friend, you can go ahead and it will be even easier. But don’t go meet a stranger to make such a deal. In 99% of cases, it will end badly for you.

You could then decide to sell your Bitcoin via a centralized exchange platform such as Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc.

You will then have to pay taxes. You need to know and the amount will depend on your jurisdiction because the rules are very disparate depending on the country.

You could instead decide to sell your Bitcoin in no-KYC (Know Your Customer) mode via a decentralized exchange platform like Bisq. This will allow you to sell your Bitcoin to a stranger in a completely secure way for you because Bisq allows this.

Bisq is a platform that is far too underestimated for my taste, both for buying and selling BTC. You should check out this platform which allows you to preserve your anonymity.

Other platforms of the same type as Bisq exist but I find that Bisq is the one that perfectly meets this need that you have. It's up to you to try and make up your own mind.
