Try buying Monero, it is very hard to buy.

  • Acquire BTC (there are even ATMs for this in many countries)
  • Trade for XMR using one of the many non-KYC services like WizardSwap or exch

I haven't looked into whether that's illegal in some jurisdictions but it's really really easy, once you know that's an option.

Or you could even just trade directly with anyone who owns XMR. Obviously easier for some people than others but it's a real option.

Both of these methods don't even require personal details like ID/name/phone number.
