Also none of those approaches actually have you owning the crypto. You just have IOUs from those companies. You're basically trading paper crypto. A Bitcoin ATM is a nice way to get into it with minimal personal information disclosure. You either get a receipt with the address (and key) for your Bitcoin, that you personally control, or you can set up a wallet on your phone and transfer it to there.

I looked into the atms and the ones near me require all kinds of id. No idea if they can be faked at all it's just a stated requirement.

Maybe they've upped requirements. I bought a little years back at an ATM and it only needed a cellphone number. Times have changed, meh.
