Are you a Jit whose getting annoyed by all these KYC laws? Here are 4 primary methods you can use to buy crypto.
(pls ascend with testosterone-maxxing, thanks)
1. Bitcoin ATMs
2. P2P (Peer-2-Peer)
3. Mobile Giftcard trading
4. Mom method
Bitcoin ATMS
Here is a video on how to use a Bitcoin ATM, also known as a BTM, they are exactly what the name says. You can convert cash to bitcoin and vice versa. Bitcoin machines are a great way to buy bitcoin without the presence of KYC policies. Especially for individuals without access to online purchasing.
When going up to a Bitcoin ATM you deposit physical money in exchange for Bitcoin. This makes ATMs the most viable option for those who do not have bank accounts. Although there are drawbacks to BTMs, they tend to have large fees and require distanced travel. Meaning a chunk of balance may be taken from the final result as a fee for using the BTM, this can range from as little as 5% to 25%. As for the travel, BTMs are usually located in grocery stores or gas stations. Some times being miles away or in another adjacent city from yours, this is the drawback.
So before going to a Bitcoin ATM, make sure you consider the fee deductions and the method of traveling you'll use. I suggest doing research on calculating the amount of bitcoin you'll be obtaining before exchanging anything. You can use this tool to calculate BTM fees before purchasing.
Below I provided a number of BTM finders along with the fee range.
Some BTMs on the Global Bitcoin ATM Map may require KYC, please check before travelling.
CoinFlip / 13% fee
Athena Bitcoin / 17.5% fee
Bitcoin Depot / 20% fee
P2P (Peer-2-Peer)
P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer, used to describe when one person directly interacts with another person. In the context of bitcoin exchange however, it's called Peer-to-Peer purchasing/trading. Used to describe the practice of giving money to another person in exchange for bitcoin, this can be switched around as you can also exchange bitcoin for money instead. This is different from how you'd typically purchase bitcoin, usually it's bought from exchanges or vendors. We avoid this because they typically have KYC instated into their terms of service. Which is why we use P2P instead.
Peer-to-Peer purchasing has only one drawback, there is a risk of getting scammed if you are not careful. You could agree to trading with someone and give them money, they could simply not give the bitcoin to you. To avoid this, use sites with an escrow middleman. Escrow refers to a process where a trusted third party temporarily holds funds during a transaction between two parties. So if it detects an attempt at a scam or a fraud it will stop the transaction and refund your money.
Below I listed some P2P platforms you can use without KYC. All of these platforms utilize escrow to prevent scams.
Prestmit (Giftcards)
Prestmit is a giftcard to cryptocurrency exchange service, which allows easy ability to purchase bitcoin using giftcards bought online or from shops. It requests zero KYC and is a fast but expensive way to get Bitcoin, several members in my community have tested it and it works.
A major con is that it usually has high exchange rates, meaning it takes away significant percentages of the total Bitcoin at the end of the transfer as a fee. The percentages typically range between 30-40% taken. You of course want to get the lowest exchange rates possible, make sure to check the exchange rates of each giftcard before you buy any.
You can use this tool on their website that gives the top 20 highest rated (most paying) giftcards. Press the link then click the blue "Check Best Rates" or if you want to verify giftcard rates from the web, use the provided embed.
Begging Mom method (cashapp)
Ask your parents to use their Cashapp account to buy bitcoin and transfer it to your wallet using the QR scanner. QR scan your the public address of your bitcoin wallet and send the amount of bitcoin you bought. This can only be done on adult accounts which is why I say go ask your parents.
