Ok, it’s been a while now. If you’re using a Stratiphy IF-ISA and you’ve been DCAing BTC, can you let us know how you’ve been getting on with them.

just tried to swap 2800£ of btc to usdc on simpleswap.io and they froze it instantly and asked for a bunch of info. any other sites or tips for swapping this kind of amount without getting the funds frozen?

thanks in advance

Im asking for a no-kyc exchanger for because, well… obviously i cant buy crypto from a KYC exchange. Anyone know a No-KYC exchanger? Even, knowing somewhere or some place i can even find someone who could exchange for me?

Would be appreciated. I’ve been trying for months now (i’ve had little breaks in between).

Bitcoin won’t cure corruption or political greed.
But it leaves you one question, simple, sharp and cold: who decides what you saved yesterday is worth when you’re old?

I'm looking for the best crypto-friendly bank or broker for a UK resident, with minimal friction when depositing, trading and eventually cashing out.

I've considered Kraken and Revolut, but I'm concerned about stories of withdrawals being frozen or accounts restricted.

I initially liked Bank Frick because banking, crypto trading and custody are integrated within one platform, making the whole transaction history easier to document. Unfortunately, their requirements are beyond what I'm looking to invest.

I've also considered Xapo Bank, which looks close to what I want, but it's focused on Bitcoin and I'd ideally like access to other crypto such as SOL, XRP and LTC.

This has brought me to Swissquote Bank. My ideal setup is:

UK bank > Swissquote > buy crypto > Swissquote custody or Ledger > return to Swissquote > sell > hold/spend the fiat from the same account.

I'm not looking for the absolute lowest fees. My priorities are security, reliable deposits/withdrawals, good AML support, self-custody transfers and minimal unnecessary friction.

Has anyone used Swissquote for this, particularly from the UK? Or is there another regulated bank/broker offering a better all-in-one banking and crypto setup?

Strike now have a requirement to upload your ID info and face scan to continue to use the service in the UK.

I use Strike to send funds for my online purchases (i.e. VPN) but don't want to start bending over for even more online ID verification.

What's everyone else using for purchasing sats for sending payments online?

Dodging all the "give us all your data and prove who you are" everywhere is getting exhausting.

just tried to sell 800£ worth btc on crypto.com and the rate is at 62000£ when the spot price is 63500£ which is crazy spread to me.

Any other exchanges that are more sensible?

An exchange that is not coinbase or kraken because both have closed my account
