all right, for this video, we wanted to talk about purchasing cryptocurrency from a local vendor, either using an atm or some kind of local transfer or peer to peer transfer.
this is different depending on where you are located, depending on what services are available.
but we can open up our browser here and take a look at one of my favorite, one of my favorite sites, which is coin atm radar.
this will find different types of services available.
so it's not only atms that are available.
there is also like peer to peer or purchasing from someone maybe at some sort of stand or some sort of business you can actually go and purchase.
so on this site, if you wanted to search for something specific like bitcoin or monero, you could select it from here.
in this case, we'll select monero as an example.
and you'll see there are some options.
maybe you're based in the us upwards by new york, you can zoom in here to see some options that are there for you.
so when you actually look at one of these, if you look at maybe like click on this one, you can see that this is a byte federal in greenwich.
in greenwich, you can buy all of these different types of currency, but we can view details to see some more information about it.
so it does look like some sort of business.
so it does look like some sort of business location, a bitcoin atm location.
it does have this address here, which we can go look up this address if we wanted to see, you know, what's there.
it looks like there is an atm inside there.
that looks something like this apparently.
so this allows you an atm to purchase monero, bitcoin, whatever from an atm, easy enough to use.
now there are locations that aren't always going to be atm based.
so what we'd want to look at is if you click off this and go to teller, you will find some locations that are teller based, meaning it's not an atm, it's going to be an actual person you have to walk up to maybe provide an id.
a lot of the ones in europe are going to be like that.
so even looking at something like, we'll add atm back on, but looking at something that may be like in rome, if we look at one of these locations, say this one, if we view the details here, you can see that it has information and specifically that user identification is mandatory.
this is a part of european regulations.
so you will need to kind of investigate these different places to see what the best thing to do is over in the place that is relevant to you.
if you can't get crypto from an atm anonymously, i would suggest using some of those other tools we talked about to actually purchase peer to peer because a lot of these atms as we've discussed, right, you are going to a location, you're showing your face, you're likely having to give your id.
so it can be traced back to you.
if you're looking for full anonymity, i would suggest more online tor based p two p transactions.
that's going to be the most secure.
but if you're interested in atms, definitely check this out and you can use one they're very simple.
you walk up to them, usually purchase it either with cash or card, transfer the money to a wallet that is yours.
if you have any questions on this, of course, let me know.
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
