I put out the feelers and found a surprising abundance of Bitcoin holders within my not large social network in the real world. Because they are socially connected there is reduced risk of rip off. Not to overtly seek to buy but rather seeking out people with your shared interest in Bitcoin and then once found, seek out whether they might wish to sell some. Surprising how many people have a stack just quietly and often obtained prior to ubiquitous KYC surveillance. If they acquired free of KYC there are good reasons for wishing to sell in the same manner. Privacy is always a question of degree but offline sometimes easier to preserve.
