I have not really bought any bitcoin in a while, i have been mostly trading this last year.  but i have been trying to buy today from localbitcoins and bittylicious and it has been a real challenge.  they want photos of me holding cards on localbitcoins and on bitty they need about 4 different forms of id, what is going on. 

this is seriously restrictive to anyone wanting to get into bitcoin,  like its meant to be pseudonymous but if the gate ways into bitcoin dont allow that people will be put off.    Huh

Never ever i needed to give any of my ID information when i wanted to buy bitcoin. Do you have a bank account because it's the most easy and fast to buy bitcoin and you won't need to use site like localbitcoin or ugly site like bittylicious
It is really easier than most people think, it does not require any bank account or any id to buy bitcoin, there is a site called local bitcoin where you can find many traders based on what you want and where are you located weather with bank transfer, PayPal or even direct cash if you can find one near you.

Yes, I agree with you - buy now Bitcoin is easy. But we must do it at least once to see how everything happens. I, too, was afraid for the first time to make this deal. But now everything is very easy
