I need some Bitcoins… I have some ETH on Metamask and an Electrum wallet for BTC. Do you folks know of a way to get my ETH swapped to BTC without those exchange-platforms who want a copy of my ID?

    This is really more of a !asklemmy@lemmy.ml question. But, to answer it, no, you will need a friend willing to trade with you or an exchange service to do an exchange. Side note, they want ID info from you because there are tax implications when you sell capital goods. After a threshold, they report those capital sales to your government’s tax office.
