How does everyone onramp to crypto currently? I buy crypto on Coinbase (euro to eth) and send it to my cold/hot wallets afterwards.

Is there an easier/cheaper/faster way to do this?

Buying it directly in Metamask looks very expensive.

I can think of more ideal onboarding mechanisms, but pretty much all of this some painstakingly slow departure away from localbitcoin (imho).

the key thing about localbitcoin is that it was, for a time, a p2p trustless brokerage. any sort of onramping/offramping since has been an evolution of trust & liquidity, so it stands to reason that the next evolution is trust getting replaced by reputation so the liquidity isn't centralized or scattered.

I would say what you're doing is probably the most comfortable way, but it definitely isn't the best way.

imho the best possible way is to have a person w/ key+id to contribute some other capital, and for a market maker on the inside to subsidize (w/ paymaster) some proof of contribution (maybe redeemable for SoV)

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. There are better ways to do it or that other ways are harder than what I am doing?
