The on-ramp in crypto is incredibly well built out. But then, once you are in the fake money world, you will notice that the off-ramp doesn't exist.

The off-ramp of nearly all of my crypto endeavors has been very easy in my experience. Not always simple, because a lot of parts of moving money on various crypto chains is unintuitive and well in-need of improvement, but definitely easy once you know what to do.

The most annoying part, somewhat surprisingly, is always with regards to United States KYC restrictions. I've had a fair bit of annoyance trying to move crypto off of services that were once accessible to US customers and no longer are.

Offramp exists it just depends how ugly it is by country. A friend of mine literally travels to another country to withdraw what he is paid in crypto.

I have taken money out of Polymarket and it is quick and easy.

on-ramp and off-ramp were the problems of the past. Thanks to Trump, both worlds have merged together now.

Off-ramp does exist. Stop lying.

Until you’re flagged for some vague reason and support/fraud can’t help you.

I personally cant wait to start seeing sob stories of how people are having thier account permanently locked after making big wins. Thats what happens when you bgive money to unregulated casinos every tine and is the exact reason there are so many gambling laws and restrictions.

have you tried to turn crypto into cash money in a real bank account? have you tried to do it with large amounts? would you describe that process as easy?

It depends on what you mean by “large amounts,” but many “large amount” transactions trigger flags at the bank

yes. For crypto platforms specfically, those "large amounts" can be pathetically small. Ive had no end of trouble even with amounts as low as $50 getting my card blocked until I call the bank
