Probably cash by mail or money order. The issue is that you get the sellers address but opening a P.O. Box can pseudo resolve that.

For Bisq, that may work but not for RoboSats:

CashByMail or Money Order. USPTO money orders can be bought with cash and no ID if you do <$1000 per money order.
Make sure you read the bisq wiki about what to record and how to pack the money/money order to avoid disputes.

Best privacy is Cash in Person, but not many offers as it's inconvenient. In Canada, the most popular is e-transfer right into your bank account, which should be safe as payment is not reversible and not labeled as Bitcoin.

Strike is definitely the most convenient. It's "private" in that there is no on-chain connection between your p2p USD payment and the btc you receive.

There does not seem to be much privacy with this method...At least, it would have the same privacy as using cash app or paypal or zelle or any of these other dollar based centralized kyc payment methods.

I agree that it's just as private as those methods. I'm talking about on-chain privacy. Your p2p payment will have no connection to any on-chain funds.

Unless the recipient is a fed that has root level access to strike's database. They will then be able to link it on their side. This is the main attack vector for using something like Strike / Cash app that somewhat doxxes your identity when making payments.

Even with root level access to their DB you wouldn't have access to the on-chain TX. Robosats is done using lightning HTLCs and hodl invoices and it's impossible to use strike for the actual BTC part of the transaction on robosats.

Right, but you'd know that person X bought Y amount of BTC because that was the trade on robosats and you'd have proof of the payment and terms from both robosats and strike/whatever.

Yeah, realistically they probably don't have the time to hang out on robosats to link people buying P2P to their real world identities...

Well, it depends on your location.
The main point is to use a method that can not be canceled as paypal.
Revolut is becoming very popular in Europe.
If you live in a big city, face to face in a public place or in a Casino is a good option.
Cheers
