I have a little bit of cash in a piggy bank I have been saving up for my niece. I want to convert that to btc and create a wallet for her so when she's an adult can actually use those savings as btc.
My question is if I can convert that cash into btc without going through a bank nor do a kyc.
Thanks in advance.

If there's a local meet up to you there's a fair chance you can find someone who'd be able/willing to make the exchange

You can try buying azteco vouchers, but they are a little pricy and you'll be able to get your sats on LN

Requires phone number and it seems entirely based on your contacts. Would prefer location based app and completely anonymous.

Yes, that is exactly how it work. It's uses your social graph.
That was you have a way of sanity checking the other party.
You only see offers when you have contacts in common. If need be, you reach out to you contact in common and ask 'you know this person'?
Your contacts are hashed, and matches are done on those hashes. On one presentation I saw, they said they don't want your private information, because they would need to protect it then.
As for requiring your number, it's spam mitigation, you can use a burner number all the same.
The system you have describe would unfortunately be flooded by spammers. This unfortunately is the nature of the internet.

Let me take advantage of the situation and ask you thus. Since you have been mining btc (I assume for some time) what do you think it's a best buy, a btc miner or btc coins? Tia

Use Bisq. They support cash-by-mail as a payment method. Make sure you read the page on their wiki about cashbymail. They have some good instructions about how to package and send it in case theres a dispute.

way less risky than you think. read the wiki page about that method and about how dispute resolution works.

depending on the amount (if it's less than a thousand dollars), you can also get a postal money order with no ID. that comes with a serial number you can use to cancel it if it gets "lost" along the way. Bisq also supports postal money orders as a payment method.

I've never received a money order before. Can you also redeem one kyc free? Eg, walk into a bank and get cash?

Funny thing about money orders, you don't redeem them at banks. You redeem them at post offices and other places that are registered I think like certain gas stations (yeah money orders are weird)

Yes, by using hodlhodl.com or Bitcoin ATMs, for example. But details depends on a country where you are located.

All you need is going to Bitcoin Conference/ the community people willing to sell by P2P method. Also you need to learn self custody that mean you are the Bank.

Is not easy but I guess in every country are different options.
Maybe buying a voucher from Azteco or any other company. In some places you can find like a gift card loaded with btc and you pay it with fiat.
The easiest way, will be p2p, you can take a look on:
- https://localsats.org/home
- Robosats, lnp2pbot & HodlHodl. (create an offer with you location and payment method.
Hope this help you.
