Best places to get bitcoins

So I usually use either virwox or localbitcoins to get bitcoins. I feel the overall exchange rate on virwox is lower. On localbitcoins, I get better deals. But a few users of localbitcoins have been enforcing that they ask for a picture of your face along with an id like a school id etc. when you get bitcoins.

I was wondering if this was an absolutely dumb idea if I were to get bitcoins (which I would use for purely hedonistic purposes) and use clear ID of me to get it. And giving this info to someone who actually cares that this info would be used to illegal purposes

The intuitive kid in me says YES. This is dumb. Use virwox instead and don't take pointless risks

LBC cash deposits or meet ups don't require ID. Just go to a bank for a cash deposit, 95% of the sellers in my area don't ask for ID unless it's an etransfer or PayPal.... or anything other than cash

I use BlockChain. No ID required, you literally sign up, buy bitcoins and send it to said address. Out of the hundreds of bitcoin websites I've used this is definitely the most simplistic, quickest and easiest

Why not just earn bitcoins from selling your own goods or service?
