There are ways to exchange fiat for cryptocurrency without going through a regulated business. Bisq, localcryptos, coordinating over chat and meeting up IRL.

Good luck finding someone to trade crypto tokens with without burning up the planet as with all these tokens do.

By the time you found someone and agreed, the price would have dropped 30%.

You might as well use the existing system.

Ok. So there's a war on, and I make a public post online advertising that I have a bunch of cash and I'd like to meet up to facilitate a trade...

Did you check out the anonymity properties of Bisq and localcryptos?
