People have been mentioning localbitcoins and a face to face exchange. There is one more option worth considering but it depends on regulations that change from country to country, so check out how it is in your place: you may buy some physical gold, have it delivered to the machine operated byt the courier or post services for an anonymous pick-up (or to any anonymous location if you come up with an idea) and then go and sell it for fiat. It is more troublesome than localbitcoins though.

The advantage is that you end up having some solid gold if you decide not to sell it for fiat but rather save it for later.

Of course, I agree that the whole idea of KYC goes against crypto ideals, but KYC was regulated by governments while crypto ideals were created by the community, so they go different ways, unfortunately.

The main question was to convert crypto to FIAT. It would be hard if you'd be carrying gold around just to buy something. Anyway, P2P are the best option for this, buying from your friends might be helpful as well.

well if you read my post carefully you could see I suggest you can sell your gold to FIAT

anyway, in some countries this method, while more troublesome, I agree, allows you legally not to pay capital gain taxes, because buying physical goin is tax free and selling you gold to fiat involves no capital gain tax (in some countries)
