First Timer Crypto Advice

Good afternoon,

I've gotten pretty good at understanding the nature of this and keeping good opsec, but I am having trouble finding an ideal method to buy crypto while simultaneously keeping attachment to my identity away from prying eyes.

I am familiar with the functionality & usage of Bisq, and ideally I'd purchase thru it directly, but as I understand it I need to have an amount of crypto already in my possession to cover the security deposit on a given transaction. To get this off the ground, would it be worth sacrificing a degree of opsec by purchasing through a storefront that requires KYC, considering that my assets would be transferred through several traceless wallets prior to direct use? Or is that not worth the potential risk?

Afaik my only other option would be to find an ATM without massive fees/KYC, but this still would not be ideal for my situation.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
