Localbitcoins is one of the oldest markets to buy/sell BTC, and perhaps one of the last places where you can get your coins anonymously.

The platform has responded to the EU's anti-money laundering pressure "Especially the Finnish Parliament," although details of the verification have not been made clear, the platform will hurt to sacrifice some privacy.

As announced earlier, LocalBitcoins is working on improvement measures that will allow us to provide a safer and better service conforming to the regulations. On Monday 18th March, we have launched a new account registration process where users can verify basic information already during sign-up, making it easier for the newcomer to find trading partners from day 1 and increasing the number of suitable customers to advertisers as well as inhibiting the creation of illegitimate accounts.

Nowdays there is a lot of options for selling/buying crypto for fiat securely. Even for EU residents. Dont see any problem with regulation coming to localbitcoins. You can use other options instead of localbitcoins if you dont agree witt KYC/AML policy.

Like what? Personally me has no idea how to buy bitcoin legally and in a big amount in EU. The only way is Binance Jersey BUT it is very complicated due to the fact you can not be applied for using the exchnage for unknown reasons, there were several cases described on reddit already. Moreover it has limits for purchase. Thats why localbitcoins was and still stay the best option for purchase the crypto but this KYC/AML is very frustrating... Angry

Well, Im using quppy.com now. Pretty simple way to open a bank account in EU bank for any purpose you need, not just for having deals with crypto. No limits + fast support is perfect mix that makes this app a real competitor for localbitcoins if you need to sell/buy crypto.
PS just a service that I use

I used Quppy service already. It is nice but they also ask for KYC/AML. Opening account in EU bank could not be otherwise. Moreover it is mostly suitable for the companies who wanna withdraw funds from the ICO or smth like that. LocalBitcoins is much more convenient for individuals. IMHO
