btc purchases

Im not able to purchase BTC due to me not having the qualifications needed to buy btc,so does anyone know how to buy btc without having to show proof of identity

you need to use decentralized wallet or exchange to buy Bitcoin although it might have limits so you might not be able to buy enough amount of Bitcoin that might be me suitable for you. You can also trade locally like joining your local board here and ask if anyone would like to trade Bitcoin with you and you can send the person fiat or gift cards. Using gift cards is one of the ways you can trade Bitcoin without the use of fiat and it can also be encouraged international with people that are not from your region. You will also need an escrow for this transaction which is very important or else if you do that with the wrong person, you could lose your money.

The only available option for him to own Bitcoin right now is through the p2p and other decentralized method and this could be easier said and also done through the local board as suggested since the ops is not active here in the forum.
Most of the times it is far better to avoid centralized exchange as possible as you can so if they limits you because of your age you should count lucky since you will have no choice than to use p2p which is more privacy for you as a starter.

Good choice! make sure to read the guides on their website

No worries, non-custodial wallets should have no identity verification requirements. There is a beginner friendly guide about wallets on https://learnmeabitcoin.com/beginners/wallets/. I would suggest exploring the whole website as well if you're interested in knowing more about bitcoin.

Do you mean kyc? You can buy Bitcoins using decentralized exchanges where you don't require to give personal information or identity. here's a link to some well known decentralized exchanges
https://kycnot.me/

What exchange would you recommend though, I've seen EXch.x there and I'm not keen on using them given that they've got some issues if I recall? I think that a trustworthy exchange would be useful in this context besides just giving out the list, that way, OP can easily narrow it down. Another thing that OP can do that won't have to compromise his or her identity is if OP does P2P with escrow, a bit riskier at first but definitely the most useful and safest way, away from KYC to trade or buy bitcoins.

Maybe that is only his intention but that's also great because he didn't show biasness there. This isn't only newbie-friendly because what if they will pick a shady exchange from the list? We know newbies, they don't like to do a research but some replies from this thread are still more specific and are more guaranteed that they are a legit decentralized exchange.

I'm familiar with that EXch.x exchange. Guess that is due to their active sig campaign here in the forum. Not that I'm defending them but each exchange can have an issue and a legit exchange will always try to solve it. P2P is indeed another KYC-free option to buy a crypto and yeah it was riskier than the DEX but the risk can be reduced if we will use a trusted escrow.

The only safe way to do that without getting ripped off is in small portions,giftcards or cashapp,etc $100 max per transaction would be my guess.

Hmm, what would one do with gift cards if they were willing to buy and have Bitcoin? I don't understand what you are trying to suggest here, and CashApp isn't what he is looking for because CashApp requires its users to complete KYC verification to have complete access to all features such as buying, storing, and transacting Bitcoin and other stuff, and he is looking for a way which he can use to buy Bitcoin without providing any identification.

Decentralized platforms such as Bisq are his only shot, but since he is new to Bitcoin and the industry, he will probably need to learn how to use a decentralized wallet first and then he can use decentralized exchanges so that he doesn't mess things up.

Binance and other exchanges also have P2P marketplaces -- I believe you don't need KYC to view these. Many leave their contact details, least last I checked.

It depends on the quantity of crypto currency the OP wants to trade. Binance in particular would require KYC for some certain amount of crypto currency traded in their platform and if the OP is to trade a large quantity then he will  definitely need to do KYC to increase his limits of withdrawals and deposits. But if you read his statement carefully you will  see that the OP wants a non custodial wallet that doesn't require him to be Kyced or uploaded any of his identity or any other details. What he needs is a decentralized exchange and I believe some persons might have dropped some for him, so it is left for him to research on them and choose the one that suits his interest.

But if he wants to buy a large amount of bitcoin, can decentralized exchanges provide him with enough liquidity? Because as far as I know, the liquidity of decentralized exchanges is quite low and if he wants to pay in his national currency it will take a lot of time to find a trading partner.

Also, what he needs to do first is learn the basics of bitcoin, everything related to non-custodial wallets, how to trade on decentralized exchanges. A person who knows nothing about bitcoin and rushes to use a DEX or non-custodial wallet will also face irreparable risks if negligence occurs.

OP sounded like he needed more than just the direction to get BTC , but perhaps a trusted person who would volunteer to help him out and also because as at now, it would be hard to acquire BTC without KYC verification even the wallets, one needs to be equipped to meet the limiting challenge that comes in form of fees for withdrawal and transfer and transactions limit.
Unless there's the plan to buy small, then the sites where to get BTC and get non custodial wallets has been given here as I have read.

If you read my response carefully, you'll see I'm telling him how to avoid using any wallet other than his own, and the P2P trader he's buying from. Not telling him to use the exchange, but to obtain direct contact with traders. That's how I got mine, the same guys I sell to from years ago. It's got its own risk, sure, but we all operate risking our reputations -- that's in some way a lot more secure than escrow.

Im not able to purchase BTC due to me not having the qualifications needed to buy btc,so does anyone know how to buy btc without having to show proof of identity

There are many ways you can purchase Bitcoin without having the proof of identity for your to buy in an exchange.
There are many vendors our there can swap gift cards to Bitcoin for you if you are really interested in having your own Bitcoin.
There erar also people that would love to swap their Bitcoin in exchange for fiat or material things especially if you are from their region.
There are people ways for you to acquire Bitcoin which depends on what you are really interested in to give out just to get Bitcoin if you can't use fiat.

[The Cryptovator]

What qualifications are you talking about? You can use any P2P platform suggested by other users that doesn't require any KYC verification. When you want to buy bitcoin with fiat, the only option is p2p or card. So for the card, you will end up with KYC verification. You may also seek out the currency exchange section on this forum. You may post your requirements and use the escrow service to avoid scams. So that's how I think you can buy Bitcoin. However, learn about the wallet service where you will store your bitcoin. It should be non-custodial, like Electrum, or it should be a hardware wallet.

I have a curiosity about the  qualifications. I am similar case when I have no Identity card and that because I also can't make the kyc verification on the top centralized exchangers like Binance and that time I always looking for about those exchanges who don't required kyc verification. If it is also happening in case of you then you may should use- MexC, ByBit, Kraken they don't asked kyc till a minimum amount of withdrawal.
Anyway if you are looking for decentralized exchanger then it will be a also good practice for starting you can easily choose Exch, Agora , Crypton .

It would be very risky for us to directly contact traders on Binance and external P2P trading because we don't know who they are and if we get scammed by them there is no way to complain. I tried doing this once, I tried to talk to them to do an outside transaction but they refused immediately because it was really too risky even though the amount was very small. I don't think this is a good idea to try while we also have decentralized exchanges.

Based on personal experience, I would suggest everyone stay away from P2P merchants or users who ask you to contact them outside the platform and make trades with them because that has a lot of negative consequences and I have seen it. They might even offer you better rates and ask you to make trades with them privately, and they might not even scam you but things they do can put you under a lot of risks.

I have seen people facing such things where the buyer contacts them offering a higher price than the market and says he will do third-party payments, remember, third-party payments are a very big red sign, never take third-party payments from anyone on any P2P platform because your receiving account can get in trouble because of that.

The buyer would offer you high prices for accepting third-party payments, and then they send scammed funds to your account and take USDT from you, later on, people who got scammed by the buyer will start approaching you or registering complaints against you.

Probably something to do with KYC, most likely reason that some people that are using exchanges which is most likely centralized are people that don't know any better and so they end up having to buy or sell bitcoin there and they end up having to comply with the KYC, I think that P2P in their local market is the best course of action for this one, or maybe doing escrows too to make it safer to buy directly from people.

I agree with you and in my opinion, once we join any trading platform, we should comply with all their regulations and should not arbitrarily make outside transactions because will not be guaranteed or protected if something goes wrong.
I also use P2P on binance quite often and I never reply to messages or have to explain myself to any of the buyers and sellers. I always comply with binance's regulations and if the trading time expires and my transaction is still not resolved, I will complain directly to the support staff. We should only work and communicate with platform staff, and not talk or argue with anyone outside the platform or any social network. The risk is too great.

Im not able to purchase BTC due to me not having the qualifications needed to buy btc,so does anyone know how to buy btc without having to show proof of identity

Op you can buy bitcoin from the original bitcoin core website which is https://bitcoin.org/en/buy and there is no KYC is needed and all what you need is your email address only and you buy directly to your wallet and paying with your local bank transfer. If you really want to invest in Bitcoin there are different ways you can invest in it and there is no kyc or qualifications are needed. If you know anyone around you, who has bitcoin, you  just discuss with the person to sell some unit give you and when the person agreed then you send the person the fiat currency and you send your wallet to him then he would send the unit of bitcoin that is equivalent to the amount to your wallet. And aleoe you can use decentralized exchanges. Therefore you don't have to worry how to acquire bitcoin.

[Zanab247]

If you have the money in your account right now, all you need is to buy your BTC from exchange market which is the popular place where investors use to buy BTC and store them in a quality wallet, that will make them comfortable till the time they will make use of them.

 There are some steps you will follow in the exchange market, you will not miss your BTC when you follow the right step created by the exchange marketer, and you will surely find the BTC in your wallet exactly the amount of BTC you order from the exchange market.

This is what make BTC different from fiat money, In Fait money you must pass through 3rd party before your transaction will be successful, but BTC transactions nothing like 3rd party before your BTC can enter your wallet.

You may have meant KYC. I don't know what country you are from but if bitcoin is legal in your country I think you no need to buy bitcoin secretly. If you want to buy Bitcoin using CEX exchanges then you must be KYC to use those exchanges. And if you want to buy bitcoins anonymously, you should use decentralized exchanges. Because if you use decentralized exchanges then you don't need to do KYC.

But I can tell you about one centralized exchange where you can buy bitcoins without doing KYC that is MEXC exchange. However, many people purchase bitcoins from various centralized exchanges for their bitcoin investments. There are various types of centralized exchanges such as Binance KuCoin which people use to convert their local currency into dollars and easily buy bitcoins for investment. So I also think one should probably buy bitcoins using these exchanges for investment if one doesn't need privacy. There are also many countries where bitcoin is not legal but people in those countries buy bitcoins from centralized exchanges to invest in bitcoins.
