Shocked this hasn't been posted yet. LibertyX offers one of the simplest anonymous ways of purchasing bitcoin instantly in the US - simply stop by one of their partner stores (usually a nondescript cell phone store), purchase a pin from the clerk using cash, and redeem the pin on their app for instant bitcoin. Easy. This is a no-brainer for those of you who struggle with embarrassingly long transfer times between bank accounts & online exchanges like Coinbase. I've used it successfully a few times in Santa Monica, CA and it went off without a hitch. They even have a customer service line staffed in case the store has problems selling you a pin. 💰🤑

@nickabouzeid Glad you tried out our service and had a successful experience! We were surprised there were no consumer-friendly, reputable ways to buy bitcoin instantly when we started the company in 2014. Fast forward a few years, we're still hard at work adding more local stores and continuing to improve the digital currency onramp experience. A big differentiator for us (and we believe for broader bitcoin adoption) is our instant settlement and low-friction to first purchase; consumers no longer have to wait a week to create an account and wait for their bank transfer. One clarification - our service is not anonymous. Depending on how much bitcoin you wish to purchase, different levels of information (KYC) are required. With LibertyX, you can download our app, confirm your phone number, pay cash at your local store, and have your first (fraction of a) bitcoin within minutes. If you purchase larger amounts, we collect additional information similar to other bitcoin service providers (e.g. Coinbase, Circle, etc.)
