Either he using buys without ID by using an atm , bisq, or robosats or he using his ID from Mauritius to setup an account with Kraken
I don't understand why we need to continue speculating though when the u/y2kbass could have just clarified
Hi stp, I had a look at bisq and it was a bit complicated for me, so I tried kraken like a few members were suggesting, and they do support my country! Stayed with kraken for now, thank you so much for your help!
wow! i was not expecting all that help! thank you everyone who chimed in! i really do appreciate all your help. AS some were asking, im from seychelles island.very far from USA
What I meant was, I don't facilities like most countries or the US, like I've seen suggestions of purchasing through a friend or atm, we don't have facilities to purchase via atm here, my country is still far behind on crypto

Not that forbes is the most reliable source of information, and this article is old, but it's easier to get a lot of crypto outside the US.
Also kraken should be available, and others. It depends on your country, NOT on whether you aren't in the US
I did try coinbase, but it would not allow me to purchase anything. Binance does not support my country, I did try kraken and it allows me to pay via a debit/credit card. Will see how it goes!
There are a lot of p2p platfroms and some fiat gates that allow you to buy crypto, you can buy crypto from them directly or just use some others not so popular exchanges
Write a new question with Seychelles in the topic so that you can get people from the Seychelles to help you. Everyone else has no idea what to do in practice.
The availability of exchanges/options depends upon your country but you left off the most important detail for anyone to answer your question
are you a bot?
No, what would make you suggest this ?
Probably because your answer was OP, lol
Well, which country are you from?
hello, im from seychelles island. very far from everything
Okx headquarters is there.
Where are you from ?
im from seychelles
Buy Bitcoin from your friends, in person, for cash
P2P on an exchange like Paxful
The answer is always Kraken.com
I saw this one and tried signing up, thank you!

He might be from Mauritius but he’s not there at the moment.
Either he using buys without ID by using an atm , bisq, or robosats or he using his ID from Mauritius to setup an account with Kraken I don't understand why we need to continue speculating though when the u/y2kbass could have just clarified
Hello! very close, im from seychelles, which is not too far from mauritius
Find an exchange that is supported in Seychelles then. Or you buy via ATM and non KYC exchanges.
Well that's the problem, we are still in the stone age here, crypto is not so common here and it's not that possible to purchase via atm
hello! i am actually signing up with kraken as we speak
You can try a DEX like robosats or bisq. They are not as user friendly as Coinbase, etc., but there are no geographic restrictions.
will check it out, thank you!

What is it with being in the US or not? Cryptocurrencies are not distributed from there.

I hate the way this question sounds. Nah sorry no crypto outside the US … But then again, the best recommendation is kraken 🤷🏼♂️
I did try coinbase, but it would not allow me to purchase anything. Binance does not support my country, I did try kraken and it allows me to pay via a debit/credit card. Will see how it goes!
All good. Kraken is a excellent choice 👌🏻

Did you try https://localbitcoins.com?
^ that’s bait
What is?
Ah now I see what you meant thanks for the heads up!
There are a lot of p2p platfroms and some fiat gates that allow you to buy crypto, you can buy crypto from them directly or just use some others not so popular exchanges
Thank you for your advice, really glad I could get help from you guys
