I'd like to buy some bitcoin or litecoin (ltc because less sharp ups and downs) but i'm having trouble figuring out the best way to go about this. I'd also prefer to do so anonymously... I could use some help. I live in the middle of no where basically so I doubt anyone out here would have some to trade in person. Any help is appreciated.
You mean you have problem of expose of your details.. Then here in my opinion it will be much better for you to go at the localbitcoins exchange , where you can buy and sell assets directly from the buyers and sellers easily without expose of your details ( any payment system that you like much ) .
And also there are many options available with that help you can buy easily bitcoin and litecoin , most probably you can found bitcoin and altcoins traders in your local district , region and there you can make your deals privately without knowing another people .
And also you can buy directly with virtual debits cards , for exmaple you can make virtual debit card at small wallets platforms and that can be use at the exchange sites to buy and sell assets directly with that wallets .
So use simple methods of privacy and no one will easily identify you .
