transportation, wear a hat, and all sorts of secret agent type tricks to try and conceal
your identity. Wear a wig if you are super paranoid.
3. Use a Bitcoin ATM
Currently there is only one ATM in the world that I am aware of, and it is located in
Canada. If you do not live in Canada, then this does not help you. Luckily
according to an article, the company who is rolling out these ATMs called
Robocoin is launching ATMs in other countries as well coming soon.

“The first shipping bitcoin ATM, Robocoin, is landing in Hong Kong and Taiwan
as the company expands its reach this January. They are planning further releases
in Europe, Canada, and the US but, given Asia’s clout in the BTC markets, this is
definitely an interesting development.”
There will likely be some way to try and cut down on money laundering by getting
you to verify your identification, but from what I understand, they currently only
do this if you are selling Bitcoins for cash using the ATM, and not buying them for
cash. The way that it works, is you choose the amount of BTC you want to buy, and
you feed your cash into the ATM machine. You can at that point either print out a
generated paper wallet, or choose a wallet of your own to send the Bitcoins to. This
method may be another good way because it takes dealing with another human out
of the transaction. Something you may need to be aware of is surveillance cameras,
so maybe wear a hood, hat, wig, sunglasses, and so forth to disguise yourself if you
are worried about your identity.
4. Craigslist
Believe it or not, there are a decent amount of people on Craigslist that you can
meet up with in person and buy Bitcoins off of with cash. Your local area may not
have a large number of listings, but you can always search in other nearby
metropolitan areas and make a day trip out of it if you want. The same
considerations about protecting your identity apply here as above.
5. Mine your own Bitcoins
I am not going to get into how to mine Bitcoins, or whether or not you should, but
if you want to get Bitcoins without dealing with other people, this is one of the
ways you can do it. Run your miners over Tor, stay anonymous and you will have
yourself some untainted Bitcoins.
Okay, so now you have yourself some Bitcoins, how can you get them to somebody else
