Best place to buy btc? (lemmy.world)

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.

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?

[–] ninjaturtle@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago

Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.
