Waitasec....weren't you an ardent supporter of BTCATMs not too long ago?

You might still be, or I might have you confused with someone else (though I don't think so), but either way you're right about fees.  I get this is an old thread, but I was going through your post history and wanted to write something about OP's question and your response. 

There might be great ways to buy bitcoin anonymously, but I've never found a method that's safe in that regard and convenient.  But jumping back to BTCATMs, some of them don't require a lot of information from customers buying small amounts....although there's always a camera, always.  For those out there who've never used one, it can be a cool experience but unless you buy, hold, and the price of bitcoin should happen to skyrocket past what you bought your bitcoin at the ATM at (fees included), it's not viable for buying long-term.

Then again, there was a time a few years ago when you could have bought bitcoin using one of those machines and you'd be into some serious profit right now--I'm talking about before the price shot up past $100k.  Anyway.
