Does the UK still have crypto atms? I read they were being considered "unauthorised" but don't know if they were actually banned or if it was more something the fca put out in writing.
According to
Coin ATM Radar, there's at least 24 left so I guess some of the companies registered with FCA in order to continue the business.
Yes, but I don't want to mess relationships with bitcoin trades, as I may bring them to an uncomfortable situation. No friend is ever going to charge me for like 10% above the average, while he should to, according to the market price. Nor would I want to sell bitcoin for cash whenever a friend requested it in the same price.
Did you have some bad experience in the past that makes you so reluctant to trade bitcoin with friends? I am asking because I am trading with friends for years and never really had any issues. We use Coingecko to determine the price and buy/sell according to that, without any fees of course. I even met with strangers to do transactions and again never had any issues whatsoever and every trade was done without the fee, whether I was buying or selling.
