Ways for obtaining bitcoin

Hey guys, I have always gone through a service like localbitcoin and done cash deposits, but it's really a pain in the ass to go to a bank/CU, fill out a deposit slip, show my ID, give them the last 4 digits of my SSN, etc... and would like to know what you guys do to obtain your bitcoin, to help stay more anonymous and simply take a trip to the bank/CU out of the equation.

Cash deposit is just not going to cut it anymore, especially since I'll be buying bitcoin much more often now.

Which banks ask for this?

The best answer is to find local face to face traders or find reputable cash by mail traders. As the next couple of years happen, I expect the banks are going to collect more data on who is depositing to whom, use this info to shut down accounts, restrict cash deposits unless you are the account holder. And just keep going in that direction.

Heres my next piece of advice to safe yourself a headache.... Be willing to pay sizeable fees to p2p traders. Its the only rational thing that make sense as the banks become more hostile to physical cash. These guys are doing a business, brokering coins and cash, they are replacing banks, they hold a lot of risk, make sure they get a fair cut.

The banks do not want you banking P2P. The banks do not want you to have lots of cash. Have a few thousand cash is one thing, but hudnreads of thousands, millions, forget about it, they dont want to facilitate those transaction, it messes up there wall street derivatives bets(Not too sure about that last part)

This is also why it is important that bitcoin stay p2p, cheap mechanism to pay people. Segwit is not bitcoin!

Only onchain transactions are bitcoin.

Find a person to meet in person for cash trades. Once you make a good connect, all your troubles will go away.

Do what I did. Wait until you get a useless gift card and trade it on gift card exchange for a shit rate. /s

xcoins.io is what I use. You can use a credit card or PayPal. Good for when you are short a few coins or in a bind which for some reason I always find myself in.
