It seems like everywhere is asking for my ID multiple times and there are multiple international companies involved.
I thought the whole point of blockchain was decentralised so why can’t I just buy btc without jumping through a thousand hoops?!?
I tried using bisq but it seems more geared towards traders and you need btc to buy btc :(
any help would be appreciated.
Reconsider. Crypto has been outed as a scam for almost a decade now. If something requires it, it’s absolutely a scam.
I suggest reading this article and jump to the “WHAT ABOUT BITCOIN?” section, which explains this concept of their differences.
Im no expert and Im not trying to protect crypto, but this is bullshit. Its a wild market and there is a lot of scam going around it. Its like saying ebay or aliexpress is absolutely a scam. Im owning crypto for 8 years and while I did experience a scam (nicehash), most of the experience was not like that. Was mining, trading, bought loads of appliances and computer components, withdrawals…
Dont have a good suggestion for OP tho, but maybe local forums have trade topics where you can find a seller and meet them in person. Its been much easier 5 years ago, but seems like almost everyone is asking for ID nowdays
There are two people, those who think bitcoin is a scam and those who benefit from the scam.
Hehe, I like your theory, but here is mine:
There are two people, those who bought bitcoin and those who didnt. Who ever bought it, made a profit because bitcoin is at all time high price right now 🙃
Have you tried their “get your first BTC” room?

Unfortunately you probably won’t find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.
In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.
if gou want actual privacy then get xmr
or yknow, use cash
Then get Monero at localmonero.co and swap it for the Snitchcoin on Bisq.network
Cash is op
How do I buy crypto? I know a lot of freelancers/digital nomads that get their salary in crypto, and I exchange it for them
If I could use cash I would. The sad reality is that they expect us to be a cashless society within 10 years
