Why isn't there a real bitcoin brokerage yet? Googling bitcoin brokerage gets you this website who's UI designer apparently committed suicide half way through the project.
Bitfinex or one of the higher-end exchanges could probably open a proper broker service so normal people could buy and sell cryptocurrencies without having to be verified on an exchange. Making difficulties is not how one makes popularity. Ease of use is essential for growing the crypto realm. Currently you cannot use bitcoin like cash, because you cannot get your hands on bitcoin half as easily as you can cash, or even stocks. So why isn't this being done already?
If I'm wrong and blind and just haven't seen the massive crypto brokerage, then I apologize and would like to formally apply to be a broker lol. I have verified accounts on ten major exchanges and have a very successful day-tradding career with crypto, doing mostly arbitrage trading but also investment planning for others and accurate predictions on asset prices for long term investments. If other people are interested in this, can we work together lol?
