Are there any reputable sites that'll allow you to use a debit card to buy BTC?
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question....

As far as i know, almost no one because of the risk of chargeback. Aka a scammer buy btc and then chargeback the transaction. So he get btc and $$$.

Yeah I don't think you really get how bitcoin works yet.  Undecided Debit card acceptance would ruin the whole anonymity deal.

Anonimity is a concern only for few ppl

Most people have no problem with not being anonymous. And anonimity is not related to why no one sell BTC for debit card. As i said the problem are chargebacks. Same reason why no one sell BTC for paypal (or, if they do, they quickly stop  Cheesy)

You can buy them from Memorydealers: https://memorydealers.com/hardware/bitcoin-equipment.html

Looks like they are out of stock at the moment.

The reason you can't buy Bitcoin with debit/credit card is not due to anonymity issues. Many people don't care about anonymity.

The reason is that debit/credit cards can be charged back - the payment can be reversed even months later. Thus the person selling BTC will lose his money and be driven out of business.

The first person who figures out a way to solve this problem - to accept debit/credit cards as payment for BTC without being scammed - will make millions (and it'll happen, I assure you).

With decentralization, anonymity isn't a very big deal. I don't care if any business knows I buy BTC. I only care that I can move money between nations effortlessly and quickly.

Unfortunately true,  blocks many ways to buy bitcoins...
Paypal, debit, credit card...

It comes down to a decision about who you trust more. The Buyer or the Seller...

not an easy question to answer.
