i wondered if i am better off buying actual bitcoins to own rather than using etoro, where you don't actually own any coins.
I thought about withdrawing all my money and began the process of buying again through Kraken , but they are not accepting deposits from the UK . So can anyone offer some advice please?
Sorry but you are better off owning real BTC than using Etoro.
1. You can gain more coins to sell from two upcoming hard forks, BTG and Segwit2x.
2. You have outright control over them as long as you have your private keys.
To buy BTC, try looking for sellers in your area in localbitcoins.com.
