Best place to buy btc? (self.privacy)

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.

All the people here are talking around the bush.

Nobody mentions a solution.

One that worked for me is mycelium . It has multiple ways for exchanging crypto, one of them is a local personal market. (Balance > Buy/Sell bitcoin > Mycelium Marketplace)

But the rates are obviously worse than the regulated market, where you have to jump through hoops. But that is also in the app.
