I know there are messy tax and financial issues that seem to have been worked out, but why can't I just put x dollars into Bitcoin or ethereum at Fidelity or Vanguard?

Because they haven't implemented it. And given that bitcoin is relatively unimportant to most of the world, it will never be worth the cost to do so.

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
you can blame federal banking laws like anti money laundering
