Can you recommend any other platforms rather then coinbase (that work in the UK)
You can also check out MEXC exchange (
https://www.mexc.com/). They should have lower fees than Coinbase and, last time I checked, they should be available in the UK.
I have used them a few times and they have been pretty reliable. No major complaints so far.
Think I am going to leave this for now and stick to the trushworthyness of gold and silver
