 It's 2024 and you're still using KYC to acquire Bitcoin

 This is too much of a premium

 You can see it the other way around: KYC services offer you a discount to buy their KYC bitcoin.

 Do you have any suggestions? The biggest pain point with non-KYC is the friction compared to how seemless exchanges operate these days

 There's still people getting paid in fiat?

 There are no solutions, only trade offs. Show me where I can buy a million dollars worth of BTC without paying a substantial premium and/or taking significant security risks, and I will gladly give up KYC.

 Just asking questions is not enough, questions should also be answered

 Yeah... In those cases it's going to be hard. On the other hand, nobody prevents you from spamming Robosats and Bisq with $2k buy order at a reasonable premium 😂 You'll have to spend a few days managing all these orders and transferring fiat to many people, but I would say there's no conceptual limitation 😂

 Also, afaik, Bisq has no limits for buying/selling Bitcoin (depends on the payment method though), so technically you could buy/sell corn within 0.1-1 BTC (insanely high amounts for me, some people can apparently afford it).

 I think going above this level of stacking bears serious risks anyways, regardless of KYC or not. So breaking down the fiat stack and purchasing small portions of corn sounds like a reasonable alternative to me.
