Where to Buy Bitcoin Privately In Africa
Privacy is a basic right, and when it comes to money, it matters more than ever. For many Africans, buying Bitcoin through platforms that demand ID documents feels just like opening a bank account. It links your personal identity to every transaction and leaves your financial history exposed.
If we care about protecting our freedom and staying in control of our money, we need better options.
That’s why we’ve created this list: to help you find trusted, low-KYC or no-KYC ways to buy Bitcoin privately across Africa without giving up your identity in the process.
