It turns out these are more ubiquitous than I originally thought so I figured maybe I would go to one.

I'm not reading anything about buying crypto to deposit directly into offline storage like a Trezor. Is this not possible?

I see them located at gas stations and pharmacies, not banks so much. Are people really bringing thousands of dollars of cash to a shady-ass gas station to do these transactions? Seems pretty dumb to put them there.

Anyway just curious what the experience has been for anyone that actually used one.

Yeah I signed up for Krakken and they wanted a photo ID! I didn't provide it and they closed my account 2 days after I opened it. They initially said this was only needed for premium accounts so they are liars too.

In the USA, at least, it's part of the Know Your Customer laws that banks follow. Long long time ago you could just open a bank account without much info. They wanted an address of course, but that was because there were no online statements.
