This is a common misconception when people try to buy crypto for the first time.  The sad truth is that fiat is really crappy for buying things online.  Fiat is easily reversed and online fraud is rampant.  That makes selling Bitcoin for fiat online a very risky venture.  This means those who accept fiat for BTC must be extremely careful to make sure the fiat is legitimately being spent by it's owner and will not be reversed which leads to additional delays and verification processes that can be a pain.

From the perspective of the one spending fiat it makes it seem like crypto is hard to buy, but in reality it is your dirty fiat money that is hard to spend.

I don't think is hard to buy cryptos.

I mean anyone can open an account on localbitcoins and place a buy order, there is no big science on that move. The problem is to give the first steps when no one is there to show you the way. Just like anything in life.

Even if you google 'How to buy bitcoins' the steps to follow are easy.

in my opinion there are still many of them who don't know the crypto world. some people hate the crypto world. and some people choose fiat or gold as a transaction tool. Crypto currencies have high and fast volatility. so some people also feel scared.

Finally. Fiat is dirty money. I realised that for internet trading fiat money could endup withdrawn, it takes a lot of time to process transaction and it has many flaws. I started to use Bitcoin and few other alternative (like liberty reserve or perfect money). It made my job a lot easyer while at that time I was doing web design, gfx and programming so I was in a field where people who I was trading with knew for Bitcoin. Note that was around 2010 in the early days I didn't know too much about BTC except that it was open source, decentralized and possible to mine and I was happy with that.

All in all, fiat is the one that causes problems not the crypto because once you have crypto transactions are very easy and secure.

I think because of money laundering issues.

But you can buy crypto from p2p or exchangers.

Not if you have means to trace and survalance.

Still confused why that sites ask people to do KYC before can buy coins in their platform, if everything like in past, maybe bitcoin will always be anonymous. Pros and Cons will come but we don't have any choice to follow it.

the emerging waves plattform will make it easier to aquire cryptocurrencies, its however still quite though to load your account with communal fiats

Buying crypto used to be a hell of a lot harder. It's insane comparing the purchasing options now vs. 2013-2014 (when I first started in crypto)

TBH, buying crypto is only difficult for people who aren't really fully interested in it. But IMO, it's one of the major components holding the currency back. If you want to buy gold or real estate, you have options such as ETFs which make it easier for common investors.

i'm not saying I fully agree with an ETF for Bitcoin (as I think it kind of defeats the purpose of Bitcoin). But if adoption is the only metric to be cared about, then the Winklevil were on to something.
