Best place to buy btc?
(lemmy.world)
if gou want actual privacy then get xmr
or yknow, use cash
Can't use cash or xmr unfortunately.
Then get Monero at localmonero.co and swap it for the Snitchcoin on Bisq.network
get weed, sell the weed for monero, trade away
Sounds like a foolproof plan, I love it!
All the people here are talking around the bush.
Nobody mentions a solution.
One that worked for me is mycelium . It has multiple ways for exchanging crypto, one of them is a local personal market. (Balance > Buy/Sell bitcoin > Mycelium Marketplace)
But the rates are obviously worse than the regulated market, where you have to jump through hoops. But that is also in the app.
The only real option in this case would be to use an unregulated wallet through person-to-person exchanges which would inherently carry more risks than a normal regulated market. Not my area of expertise however so I'm not sure where you'd start, sorry.
Thanks anyway!
He's wrong. Again, bisq.
I dont think its any more risky to buy btc with cash p2p than it is to buy a lemonade with cash p2p.
well, i moreso meant dealing with online scammers.
Ah, yes. Dont buy btc online. Better to find a human in person and do the transaction over a cup of coffee or something
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 I had some already, what are the best ways to buy more anonymously?
Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.
What? Lol just go to a crypto meetup. There's loads of people swapping coins. That's the whole point.
Have you tried their "get your first BTC" room?

I hadn't, thanks for the heads up!
No worries, I hope they sort you out!
I really would suggest Monero and you can pick some up from localmonero.co without KYC (ID).
Came here to say exactly these things. Bitcoin is the Snitchcoin.
I agree with the saying that "Monero is what Bitcoiners thought they bought".
I am not in any way advertising dope but the operation on the DNM over it is just fantastic evidence at how fucking solidly successful at being as properly encrypted Open Source cryptocurrency doing what it says it does and is.
Its also on sale right now
Best bet will be to purchase Monero (XMR) anonymously, it's literally designed to be anonymous, then swap it into BTC. You'll then want a hard wallet to keep it secure until you have a reason to transfer it. Ledger is a decent option for a hard wallet, just be sure it's paid for in the XMR you bought anonymously or the BTC you swapped for XMR. NanoS is my recommendation for the specific wallet, but the tricky part will be getting it shipped to you anonymously as you CAN'T trust a used hard wallet.
This is why anonshop was created.
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
That will never happen. Lots of cities have made it illegal for businesses to not accept cash.
There will always be a population of consumers who are not able to open bank accounts. And there will always be companies looking to take their cash.
I'm retarded, I won't ever use ~~cash~~
Damn, edit, edit, I wanted to say banks 😆
What about doing the KYC using a fake ID?
Reconsider. Crypto has been outed as a scam for almost a decade now. If something requires it, it's absolutely a scam.
This is absolutely not true. Are there scams? Sure. But there are plenty of legitimate businesses that use crypto. Take Proton, Kagi, Gratuitas, and Travala as just a few examples.
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 🙃
If you're asking me if i'm jealous the answer is no: why would I be jealous of someone who isn't allowed 6 feet around a school?
Crypto and Bitcoin are not the same.
Please explain how bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency.
I suggest reading this article and jump to the "WHAT ABOUT BITCOIN?" section, which explains this concept of their differences.
What a garbage piece of advertising. Bitcoin isn’t cryptocurrency because it’s better than those other cryptocurrencies. LOL.
Bitcoin is not a Venture Capitalist controlled, pseudo-decentralized scam. There is no CEO. The rest of crypto are all scams or were built to "fix" a utility that didn't need fixing. Only the money supply and its ownership needed fixing, which is why Bitcoin was created as a permissionless, immutable, decentralized, and deflationary currency. Unlike all fiats, which have been grossly debased in recent years through manipulation by bankers.
Please explain how bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency.
You’re just arguing it’s a better cryptocurrency.
No, you're still missing the point. Bitcoin is the only one that was built out of a self-less, cypherpunk cause, to allow the dismantling of central banker's grasp on people's financial sovereignty. The crypto that spun up after bitcoin are all garbage, save for maybe Monero.
Lol, braindead. So scammy Bitcoin even has an ETF now!
