Do you know why there is no big exchange fiat to alctoins?
It is because low liquidity of altcoins, shitcoins (they do not want to sell shit?) or double conversion (which is risky in a rapidly changing environment)?
Topic: Is It Possible to Buy Altcoins with Fiat Money - page 3. (Read 458 times)
It differs from country a lot. In my country as I remember you can buy bitcoin, ripple, litecoin with fiat money (Turkey) Also one exchange had Waves option if im not wrong. Not sure about USA, but I guess some top coins have that option to buy with fiat there too.
The question may sound a little off, but im curious, is it possible to directly exchange Fiat money for Alt coins,? if not, whats the reason?
First of all it will depend where are you from, Asuming that you are in US you can choose Coinbase to buy BTC, BCC(BCH), ETH, LTC and if you can verify yourself with Bittrex (Assuming you already have Account with them) you can deposit fiat there and Bittrex has pair to several altcoin with fiat so you can buy
BTC ,LTC, ETC, ADA, XRP, ETH, BCC, NEO, XVG, OMG, XMR, BTG, ZEC, NXT, DASH and a lot more around 50 Coins. Poloniex offers the same but they have very few coins with fiat trading. Good luck

There are many altcoins that can be purchased directly from fiat, you need to verify your account for this and then only you can participate.
Exchanges like bitfinex offer this as well
Aside from CoinBase, I've noticed that BAT uses a website called uphold.com for purchasing their coins (as well as other altcoins) using fiat by linking your credit card or bank account. I've never used it, and I've read really bad reviews however on how long they take to process your transactions, as well as sometimes cancelling your transaction if the price changes too much.
Anyone had experience using them?

in my country it's simpler to make fiat and crypto money transactions.
I can exchange fiat money with some crypto available in local exchange. yes, I guess if in your country there is no ban, there seems to be a local exchange involving fiat money.
Few altcoins can be directly purchased via fiat like Ripple, XLM, DASH etc and they can be only purchased on CEX.IO Exchange.
I do not think so. Only popular alts can trade in USD/ALT pairs and only limited amount of exchanges can provide this opportunity

But in this case what do you mean about "directly"
Some ICOs provide this option. But why not all of them provide this option? 
Yes, some Altcoin can be bought directly by Fiat, but some ICOs accepting only ETH, and by the way you can buy BTC directly by converting your money currency that is in your digital wallet, then from their you can buy ETH and other alt coins.
Besides Coinbase as mentioned above. You can use Gemini to purchase Ethereums with fiat if you're in the US. The fees are lower than Coinbase but you don't have the option to purchase Litecoins or BitcoinCash as they are not supported on Gemini.
In the US, your only real option is to go with Coinbase, which allows purchase of LTC, ETH, and BTC. Rumors are coming that Coinbase is going to add many other alts but not yet. I hear there's a way to purchase alts directly with fiat in Bisq but I have no experience with it.
