Re: Withdrawing Bitcoin off the radar

Hello there,

As I was driving earlier, this thought came through my mind. I've been accumulating Bitcoin for quite some time now, and at some point eventually I'll have to withdraw it in fiat, at least some of it. I'm not sure when that time will come, and I'm definitely not selling for anything below $50,000, but that's another story. However, I've always kept my bitcoin away from exchanges, and I prefer that it stays that way for obvious reasons that have been discussed numerous times in the forum.

Not only do I want to avoid exchanges but also banks, which is currently the most convenient way to withdraw money, but if I were to move funds to a bank account, they'd get taxed at 24%, which is a huge percentage. I've also thought about Bitcoin ATMs, but the majority of them here require some sort of KYC and feature expensive fees, although they may still be a better option than bank transfers. Is there an actual, reliable way to exchange bitcoin for cash in hand? My best guess would be a P2P transaction in person, but that's quite unlikely.
Your best option would be a P2P transaction, however in order to do this anonymously you will probably have to pay a high fee, but it will be way smaller than the 24% on taxes you will have to pay so it is worth looking into it, however if you do not really need to touch your bitcoin for a long time then it could come the day in which you will be able to use your bitcoin directly to buy what you want locally and your need to convert your bitcoin to fiat will disappear.
