Bitcoin Forum

I try to buy bitcoin first time in my life. All bitcoin trading platforms I've found so far demand a copy of my passport and a videochat verfication. Sorry, I have no webcam and no headset and would have to buy and install first just for this verification. And I don't like the idea to send a copy of my passport via email. I think if I buy with SEPA transfer from my official bank account, I should be verficated enough. I'm bewildered. Remains only they demand my fingerprints and my police report in advance.

Is there any possibility to buy bitcoin for just 100,- Euro without this effort? I could pay via SEPA, Paypal, Visa- or Mastercard.

P.S. I'm from Germany

buying bitcoin with money, like buying so many other things with money online requires you to verify your identity because all these places have to follow the rules of fiat world to prevent scams, illegal activity such as using a stolen credit card,.... so there is no other way around it if you want to use those platforms.

your option is finding someone around you in Germany that accepts cash, or is ok with the risks of other methods such as Paypal and its charge back and trade with the.

use localbitcoin to find someone.

I can buy lically from my country and sell you 100 euros worth of Bitcoin but how do I trust you unless we use an escrow and a few charges might ensue, are you ready for that in place of thorough verification?

Thanx for the fast answer. What a pity. So I can't use bitcoin.

localbitcoin says: 'Unfortunately LocalBitcoins is currently not available in your selected region."

How could I trust you without using an escrow? Any suggestions?

Or lock at one of the big exchanges, perhaps Kraken.com kan help you?

Personally I'd buy on an exchange or if there is a German Bitcoin business than buying from some random person on a forum, but you are free to choose whatever you like!

I think you can try paxful.com i never tested it yet but i just heard that other country are using paxful.com here..
Unlike here in my country we have local bitcoin merchant that we can buy and sell bitcoin.. like in india they have zebpay here in my country we have coins.ph i think maybe in germany there are also local bitcoin merchant.. but you can try paxful or better to try perfectmoney to deposit your money and exchange your perfect money funds into bitcoin here is the list of the exchanger.. https://perfectmoney.is/business-partners.html
I already tested there is changer.org..

yes you can buy bitcoin for just 100 euro without any passport and videochat and you can use your paypal or credit card, maybe you can visit localbitcoin to search the seller that will help you or you can find your friend near in around you. i don't like to send my details to the third party to buy bitcoin and we can do this with third party.

It's hard to buy bitcoin without passport and video chat verification, because some of the site that don't need it, is not safe. or some people is not legitimate. It's either you risk your money, or you'll buy in that site with passport and video chat verification. Or try to find legit person here and buy to them.

Hello there. For buy sell or exchanging bitcoin paxful and localbitcoins is the best sites ever I have seen. Both are safe and secure. Both site have strong security system. The most attractive features are, They never asked you any NID card/passport etc. Just you have to creat your account with your email, Then deposit your money on the account wallet, Then buy the currency what you want. Before joining any site, First read there FAQ...

if you want buy bitcoin use paypal you can try in virwox, only one market placed exchanger acepted bitcoin
or you can try in paxful, same service with localbitcoins but is easy use and instant procces and i think without verified ID use videochat too

Most of the legit exchange platform are requiring their client members to give some verification id to your information together with a shot in video call record while holding your verification id. And for some reason it is for the security of your account so it may not hack by the scammers. but in my country, even you don't have that thing we have one merchant here where you can buy bitcoin directly who accepted bitcoin through visiting their convenience store outlet which 711. I don't know in your place if have that too.

hello , it's very hard to buy bitcoin and without any document , you can find way to buy some bitcoin with paxful but with high fees you can get 0.5 $ for each 1$ you pay , but you can find a trust person or member here you send him the money by westernunion or hand to hand
other methode i don't think it will work if you don't have any id or passport
good luck

I remember the times when you could buy Bitcoins without or with some minimum personal data. But things have changed and now this is almost impossibe because of whole bunch of regulation, rules, anti-money laundering or anti terrorist laws and exchangers want to do legitimate businesses.
You can try on localbitcoins probably you will find some trader there from your country.

Additionally, look no farther than this forum's very own currency exchange section at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

Go for escrow if you like, or choose a member with high trust ratings, or wing it like I did early on and get lucky/unlucky.

You're new so, go safe and pay higher fees.

There are many ways to buy bitcoin without passport or a valid Id. There are some wallets selling bitcoins, you can buy with it but it depends on the country because there are country are very strictly even cash-in, need them to know your valid Id. In my country, sign up is just enough for buying bitcoins but if you want to cash out you need to verify your account. So they are not the same.

You can most definitely buy bitcoins without any ID verification.

Like said above, the easiest way is to use http://localbitcoins.com.

If there is no one selling for cash in your city, you can buy from one of the many sepa sellers all around Europe.

I'm a seller myself, you can watch my profile here https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/Bahtcoin/
Don't hesitate to contact me on localbitcoins, I can accept SEPA transfer and money transfer companies like RIA or Moneygram.

In the philippines there is a coins.ph one of the merchant in that country who accepted bitcoin, a merchant who is affiliated in all remittances outlet in this country, also connected too in any bank company, and lastly partnered by 711 convenience store outlet. Which you can get bitcoin without showing any verification id in 7 eleven just important is you must sign up with coins.ph, and proceed in cash in then get the reference number from coinsph. then show it once you go in the outlet branch.

The problem is with fiat not bitcoin. Try, for example, setting up a bank account without showing identity.

I don't know if someone else already mentioned it but if not, you may want to try Bitsquare.io - It is a p2p platform for people who want to avoid sharing their personal details . Below is an excerpt from their website. Hope that helps.

"Bitsquare is for those who do not want to forfeit control or privacy to a central authority in order to trade with other individuals. We regard financial transactions as a form of private speech that should be protected from surveillance by banks, governments, and other institutions."

Yes, it is possible. I heard in coinbase, you can buy bitcoin through fiat money, vice versa. There is no identity needed to sign up there.
It's easy since you don't need to set a buy order or sell order. What you need is to convert through their wallet. It's easy and very relaiable.

Yes it is possible. And also you can buy bitcoin here no further passport and video chat needed but then you must have third party or middle man so it is not hard to find exchange here.

Is it a services run by bitcointalk member ? If it so, please link their announcement topic here so that we can start using their services with peace of mind. Most people here will not touch a service which is not proving support through this forum. I am sorry I have not heard payzet nor not seeing any trusted people suggesting them.

You know what its better they ask Passport or Video Chat because it means that its legit and trusted one because if not its sounds fishy they ask that because they want their buyer is not a scammer too. So if you and buyer has no intention of scam, then there is no harm in sharing the identity.
