Most exchange already provide crypto-to-fiat offramp.
For example you can send cash from your Coinbase account to PayPal instantly with no charge. You can also do your bank, but obviously that will take a few days.
- bewaretheirs 4y agoI only follow this topic casually but the impression I get is that the existing cryptocurrency offramps are not dependable -- they're either nonfunctional under heavy load or intentionally shut down at the drop of a hat; there isn't an entity like the FDIC to step in to gracefully shut down failing institutions, and let customers get their money out ASAP. What would be once-per-decade anomalous events with real money seem like an everyday failure with cryptocurrency exchanges.
- wmf 4y agoEverything you've said is true, and yet the probability that an exchange will fail during the hour it takes you to cash out is very small.
- p0pcult 4y agoYou should look into Coinbase, which seems to be the exception.
- bewaretheirs 4y agoI have no reason to do so, and have better things to do with my time. I decided early on to stay away from cryptocurrencies; everything in the space I've seen ever since has reinforced that decision. Please respect this.
- lmm 4y agoFTX was the exception up until a month ago too.
