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.

I dont have a bad time for buying bitcoins because i just go to 7 11 and load my wallet and then wait until its confirmed then i will just convert my money to bitcoins so it is not really hard to buy some bitcoin or i can also buy bitcoins to the money transfer. This is the fastest way that i know and not too many requirements.
If you having a bad time buying some bitcoins then you must research more.
