Exchange is only way to acquire with local currency
I hadn't considered your local currency , apologies. Have you checked for options like Robosats and Bisq ?

Yeah man, Robosats is a great way to buy some lightning non-kyc , no exchange. There is a little bit more work involved in using it . You need a little bit of lightning to get started making trades, but you are on stacker news , so you might already have some lightning. You can make your own trade, pick the currency, select the payment method for that currency, choose the premium and a whole lot of other options . Then you lock a little bit of lightning as "collateral" (it's to stop people making bullshit trades, you lose the collateral if you cancel the trade for no reason, but not if the trade times-out) . If somebody likes your trade, they lock the lightning into esgrow (meaning Robosats has it in the middle, don't ask me how it works , but I'm sure it's all very technical) , and then when it is confirmed that you have paid the fiat to the person , or whatever the payment method may be , then the lightning is unlocked for you , and the trade is complete. All of this can be done through , tor , and everything is encrypted from start to finish , and the best thing is : NO KYC , you never give your information away to anyone along the way. It's cyberpunk af man , go check it out .
Bisq is pretty much the same , but with a higher learning curve, on-chain only the last time that I looked at it .
