 Leaving that wealth in a 401K is also a choice, but I see your point.  
 you should see some of these contracts man they try their best to keep people's money. 

sometimes you have to quit a job in order to get it out but then you also are paying tax penalties lol 

seems worth it to me personally but that's how it is for many.  
 That's ultimately what I did. Quit, rolled the 401K into a traditional Roth and then bought BTC through unchained without the tax penalty, but I do realize not everyone has that flexibility.  
 no 10% for the devil. respect that. unchained ira lets you hold the keys right?  
 Agreed. Pay the penalties and get your money out of the 401k. It will be rug-pulled anyway…. 
 absolutely but you also have to quit your current job. not a great option for some!
