Curious to know as to how I can purchase large volumes of BTC. Will be paying cash.
So you have considerable amount of physical cash with you, and you want to convert them to cryptocurrency? You can try your luck by posting your proposal in the Currency exchange sub-forum (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0). But I am not sure whether anyone will deal with you or not, since you are quite new to this forum, and don't have any reputation.
There are multiple risk factors associated with selling BTC for physical cash:
1. There is a chance that the money is not clean. In that case, the authority can arrest the buyer and trace his BTC back to you.
2. Personal deals (face-to-face) are not encouraged, as there have been multiple incidents of fraud.
3. If the volume of the physical cash is large, then the seller is vulnerable to raids from the authorities.
