I have a visa gift card or debit card. How do I use it to buy Crypto? Ideally XMR but BTC works too.
Have you tried using a P2P exchange such as Haveno
Eylenburgh’s tech website has a guide on how to buy monero, although I haven’t tried it myself
Not sure about using visa gift cards, but there is Haveno DEX branded as RetoSwap which is a peer to peer exchange with many different payment methods available. https://retoswap.com/
Note retroswap supports physical cash transactions. I’ve never used it but It looks like you’ll need some Monero as a security deposit, and of course there’s is random chance involved in finding a willing seller to accept the gift card. If you pay with the card, remember whoever originally bought it is theoretically traceable by visa.
There are also many sites that will buy gift cards, at a loss. You may be able to use one of them to turn it into fiat.
Also a pawn shop may give you cash for a gift card, idk.
Nice try, Special Agent Hnp.
Robosats used to have gift cards as an option. Not sure anymore. It’s been awhile.
That might be kind of difficult. You might try something like hodlhodl or offer to buy something on xmrbazaar
If bitcoin, there are bitcoin ATMs, not sure if these exist for other coins. Find such ATM and buy with cash. Wear a mask and sunglasses and a generic hoodie with the hood up.
Disclaimer: I never used these, only know that they exist.
The majority of ATM’s require some form of KYC https://coinatmradar.com/
I found a youtube video demonstrating the use of a bitcoing atm to deposit into a wallet, it did not show any ID or “take a photo of your face” requirements, just a simple deposit, perhaps times have changed?
I mean, this is explicitly illegal. So if you want to do it, you’ll have to go through people who don’t mind violating the law. Finding a drug dealer would probably be your best bet. Find some drug dealer that has some crypto. Give them the cards for crypto with a substantial transaction fee. (Like give them $100 in gift card for $80 in crypto. That’s pretty much your only option. It’s illegal to sell without CYK. That pretty much requires you to work with pretty shady characters if you want to obtain crypto without having it tracked to your identity. I would recommend not doing it. But if this is really something you’re set on, your best bet would probably be to talk to a dealer.
I mean, this is explicitly illegal.
In which jurisdiction?
Try to stay in context of the question. I’m not interested in arguing about every jurisdiction on the planet. OP specifically asked about crypto without KYC. This implies they live in an area that requires it.
This implies they live in an area that requires it.
An area of which country? It’s pretty damn in context if you ask me and the answers may vary wildly by country.
Please elaborate. You clearly feel a more detailed explanation is necessary. Please outline which countries specifically you are referring to, and what the differences in KYC laws are that you feel I missed. Don’t simply complain; provide meaningful and useful information yourself. I am discussing in general terms, as OP is likely from the US or somewhere with similar KYC laws. If you feel a more detailed discussion is needed, now would be a good time for you to bring that discussion into this conversation. This is a topic that you clearly desire more information to be available on, so I would encourage you to provide the elaboration you clearly think is warranted.
I am discussing only in general terms most likely to be applicable to OP. If you want to expand this discussion to a more comprehensive answer, then please do that homework for us. If you desire to move the conversation in that direction, then that is an assignment for you to undertake.
Buying stuff with cash is explicitly illegal now?
You can buy with cash if you want, but certain types of transactions are regulated, yes.
