Hello, I am brand new to BitCoin, and I was wondering where i can buy some Bit-Pieces without the need of a visual ID? Every website I've been to, has required a VISUAL ID to create and account. But bitcoin is supposed to be anonymous so no one knows who you are, or where the payment is coming from. Can anyone help me?
Most exchanges require ID so that they can comply with government anti-money-laundering laws. I know that not everyone wants to have to put their ID in for most online exchanges (and even a lot of physical ones) but there are laws that have to be complied with.
You can probably go and find some other people who are willing to be more discreet with what they have and where it goes, and you can buy from them if you care so much. It just takes a bit of looking to find the people.
