It seems like everywhere is asking for my ID multiple times and there are multiple international companies involved.

I thought the whole point of blockchain was decentralised so why can't I just buy btc without jumping through a thousand hoops?!?

I tried using bisq but it seems more geared towards traders and you need btc to buy btc :(

any help would be appreciated.

The only real option in this case would be to use an unregulated wallet through person-to-person exchanges which would inherently carry more risks than a normal regulated market. Not my area of expertise however so I'm not sure where you'd start, sorry.

He's wrong. Again, bisq.

I dont think its any more risky to buy btc with cash p2p than it is to buy a lemonade with cash p2p.

Ah, yes. Dont buy btc online. Better to find a human in person and do the transaction over a cup of coffee or something
