How do you buy non-KYC crypto in Europe nowadays?

I’ve been trying to expand my small stack of BTC, XMR, and ERG, but coming back to the market in Europe feels like a nightmare. All the old non-KYC CEXs and services now demand full identity verification.

Between European banks flagging every small transfer and taxes on already-taxed income, buying privately feels nearly impossible. Bisq didn't work out for me either.

Are there any viable non-KYC alternatives left? Also, what do you think about setting up physical spaces (like a local crypto cafe) for safe P2P cash/crypto trades?
