You can buy Bitcoin via Cash on several p2p plattform like e.g. Bisq.
However, I didn't have good experiences with it. Last time I checked there were like 2 sellers in all of Germany and a +10% spread. The process also involved some special plastic bags to put the paper money in etc.Definitely not a frictionless transaction, high barrier to entry.
It's easier to find local Bitcoin meetups and find people that are willing to buy KYC Bitcoin that disappear into the void in their name. I wouldn't want that on my name even for 10% profit margin...
I really hope that the new API for Bisq will let developers create smooth experiences for the platform. I think that if there's a smoother, simplified UI, more people would use it.
