cex that don't ask for documents (pocketbitcoin in europe).p2p (bisq, hodlhodl, robosats). exchange cash in local community events. find a trusted dealer which you can send cash via mail. it's all about trade offs
I'm in the States, which is why this is such a nightmare to work through haha. Tried those DEXes but they were where I found the issues I listed in my original note. No local Bitcoiners or meets that I know of; that's the one disadvantage of living in a rural small town. 😩
