Topic: How do you convert cash to bitcoin anonymously? - page 3. (Read 5144 times)
yes its best to go with localbitcoiners for the complete annonymity.
Unless you have some sort of contacts that you can sell to or buy from, your best bet is most likely finding someone willing to trade cash for bitcoins on LocalBitcoins. Depending on where you live that may or may not be easy, for example there is no one selling where I live and I would have to travel at least 200 km to buy or sell with cash.
Yeah it's all about your area unfortunately, if you live in an urban area you could go for LocalBitcoins which is a pretty trusted site for exchanging with cash (and PayPal etc sometimes, but be careful with that because scams are always possible and it's P2P). If you don't, the first thing I would do is exchange with someone on the forum for PayPal (they might know your name but it's very unlikely they'll use the information), but if you use PayPal you need to choose a really good person because PayPal transactions are reversible and everyone will think you're trying to scam them.A few credit card sites don't need your name, namely CoinMama for small amounts (under $150) and if you live in an urban area you could use a Bitcoin ATM, but them having your credit card details could make me pretty insecure as well.

There aren't many ways out there tbh
Sadly agree, your best bet is localbitcoins. But its also not that perfectly anonymous. 
If you want to be anonymous it would be best to find people who are buying/selling bitcoin on your local area. As mentioned above, it's better to meet such people in safe place, like cafe, to avoid risks.

Use localbitcoins CASH DEPOSIT. There are offers where you don't need to upload any form of ID. Simply deposit $ into their bank account and you are good to go. The only drawback is you must go in person, but realistically the bank has no idea what you are paying for so it really does not matter at all.
I understand that no method will ever be completely anonymous, but there seems to be a complete lack of even close to anonymous options to buy bitcoin. For example, stuff like OKpay or PerfectMoney need your personal details and verification.
Things like wire transfer and Paypal mean other people and companies get to know your name.
So HOW do you do it? (don't say prepaid cards since those aren;t available everywhere.
It's not super easy, but the quick rundown on this is that if you want to convert it anonymously your best bet is to go through a service like Bitcointalk or some site along those lines and use their services with a presumed identity. Meet someone in a public place, get them to send you Bitcoin, give them cash, and you've made the exchange. Just try to avoid meeting anywhere without police officers or other similar personnel. Things like wire transfer and Paypal mean other people and companies get to know your name.

There aren't many ways out there tbh but you can try coinmama as they allow you to purchase upto 150$ with just normal verification of email, name and stuff. Or you can use local bitcoin or just buy from xapo as they don't require any verification and you can buy upto 6000$ using bank transfer.
