If bitcoin is not illegal in your country, you can buy bitcoin through Binance exchange using p2p trade. This is the uniqueness of bitcoin, it does not need a third party to carry out transactions for you. What you need is to use your bank account name to register on Binance and follow the procedures on KYC verification.

Once that is done, you go to p2p trade, click on bitcoin and buy , select the ad that you want to buy from and let the person have a high trade orders with the least of 90% trust. You are to buy bitcoin using your bank account to pay directly to the seller through transfer and if he confirms payment, your coins will be released.

You can still buy Bitcoin from Binance even though it is illegal in your country but you need to be very careful. Don't keep your coins in Binance after you have purchased your bitcoin, you shoukd transfer it to a noncustodial wallet like Electrum wallet or blue wallet because it is not safe to keep your coins in an exchange because you don't have control over your private key.

Unfortunately , my country banned Bitcoin from it ( freaking alergic to technology ) , I will try your technique tho . Thank you for it

And if you have any other advice , like finding Algerian sellers to buy Bitcoin with cash I would like that !

Thank you I will try it !

Also if you have any tips for finding Algerian Bitcoin sellers I would like that , Thank you !

It is you that is in Algeria that should do that since we are from different countries. Oshosondi said it all, it is better you buy from an exchange because they have DZD p2p trade and it is very easy than this step you want to take. Binance exchange have your currency p2p trades that are from Algeria. Bitcoin is not fully banned in your country and citizens can trade bitcoin in your local currency.

Bitcoin is for everyone but to avoid legal problems with government, you need to check legality status of Bitcoin in your country.

Some world maps for Bitcoiners with several websites for Bitcoin Legality Map.

According to these maps, Bitcoin is Illegal in your nation so you need to be more careful with any further steps. You can use no KYC exchanges to purchase or sell bitcoin but in a country with Illegal status for Bitcoin, it's more risky than in other nations.

As long as the banks in your country still operated and they can send money to international banks, you can buy Bitcoin. Or you can use centralized payment providers like Western Union, Wise, etc.

This is a trap by Binance, they can accept Algerian because their regulation didn't ban Algeria, but Algeria's government ban Bitcoin. So, if @OP trade using Binance, Binance will make money, but @OP is taking risk to being jailed.

Just because your government bans bitcoin and cryptocurrencies doesn't mean you can't buy bitcoin on centralized exchanges like Binance, you just can't unless those exchanges don't support your country. These 2 things are completely different.

As Oshosondy said, most centralized exchanges are usable from your country. And if you want to ensure your privacy then P2P is the solution but there is also a risk because the seller can reveal your identity and you will be in trouble because as you said, your government bans bitcoin. If you have difficulty finding direct bitcoin buyers and sellers, I think you should use centralized exchanges for more assurance.

am also from a third world country but we can purchase any crypto without the need of credit or debit card i am unfamiliar with the kind of payments you have in your country but we have multiple ones aside from a bank so it is relatively easy to purchase some crypto in a lot of exchanges

it will only be difficult if bitcoin is illegal in your country and in which case not a lot of people may be so willing to break a few rules with you

upon checking the local board here in the forum i do not think there is one for your country which i am guessing shows that there are not much bitcoin users in your country that will definitely make your purchasing of btc harder

Algeria not having a local board  on our forum does not mean there are no bitcoin users from OP's country. Our forum is the oldest bitcoin forum but it is not the largest nor does it represent any country. Bitcoin has become very popular and spread all over the world, buying bitcoin today has never been difficult, even in countries that ban bitcoin. What makes it difficult for someone to buy bitcoin is their lack of knowledge about bitcoin.

I just tried searching about being able to buy bitcoin from OP's country and I found this article, I don't find it difficult to buy bitcoin from Algeria even though bitcoin is banned there.

That's a good point! though in case of paxful, KYC is mandatory and they can also pull out logs of whatever information they got from their users.


I guess they changed their kyc policy recently? IIRC, they used to have some countries with no mandatory kyc. I could be wrong though lol

TBH, if crypto was banned in my place, I don't think I would risk it with centralized exchanges unless it's no-kyc and has end to end encryption for their chats. It depends on one's risk appetite i guess. Some places can be lax when it comes to enforcing their laws though you'd be playing with chances.

Try checking on how did others manage to buy  Bitcoin in your area, for sure debit and credit cards are not the only way to do so. I am also living in a third world country but we do have access on other ways such as third party wallets that are partnered with exchangers which allows me to invest. As long as there are other people who managed to invest, then for sure things aren't restricted in your area and that there are other ways for you to check regarding this concern. Never settle for p2p on social media platforms. Exchangers are the best way and you just have to figure out what would work in your situation. I assume Bitcoin is banned from your country, but restriction varies I believe. Not supporting this technology is different from fully restricting its usage and the proof to this are some people in your country who have Bitcoin and other crypto holdings.
