I mean, this is explicitly illegal. So if you want to do it, you'll have to go through people who don't mind violating the law. Finding a drug dealer would probably be your best bet. Find some drug dealer that has some crypto. Give them the cards for crypto with a substantial transaction fee. (Like give them $100 in gift card for $80 in crypto. That's pretty much your only option. It's illegal to sell without CYK. That pretty much requires you to work with pretty shady characters if you want to obtain crypto without having it tracked to your identity. I would recommend not doing it. But if this is really something you're set on, your best bet would probably be to talk to a dealer.
In which jurisdiction?
Try to stay in context of the question. I'm not interested in arguing about every jurisdiction on the planet. OP specifically asked about crypto without KYC. This implies they live in an area that requires it.
An area of which country? It's pretty damn in context if you ask me and the answers may vary wildly by country.
Please elaborate. You clearly feel a more detailed explanation is necessary. Please outline which countries specifically you are referring to, and what the differences in KYC laws are that you feel I missed. Don't simply complain; provide meaningful and useful information yourself. I am discussing in general terms, as OP is likely from the US or somewhere with similar KYC laws. If you feel a more detailed discussion is needed, now would be a good time for you to bring that discussion into this conversation. This is a topic that you clearly desire more information to be available on, so I would encourage you to provide the elaboration you clearly think is warranted.
I am discussing only in general terms most likely to be applicable to OP. If you want to expand this discussion to a more comprehensive answer, then please do that homework for us. If you desire to move the conversation in that direction, then that is an assignment for you to undertake.
Buying stuff with cash is explicitly illegal now?
You can buy with cash if you want, but certain types of transactions are regulated, yes.
