If I want to buy some bitcoin I have to get verified first and link a bank account. It is @#%^ing ridiculous.
If I ever buy bitcoin it will have to be in-person with someone who has them. Selling is the same deal.

Will we ever be able to buy and sell bitcoin easily?

I understand your frustration, in many countries it is difficult to purchase Bitcoin, it just depends on where you live.
In Canada you can simply walk up to an ATM and buy some Bitcoin with cash.  In Australia you can walk into a bank and deposit directly into the exchanges bank account and have your Bitcoin in minutes.  As Bitcoin becomes more widespread you will find it easier to obtain.

Seems interesting, at any ATM or just few Bitcoin ATMs ?
