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.
And you can even contract the with out being a member of there club!
Think I am going to leave this for now and stick to the trushworthyness of gold and silver
Thanks for the help
It's all your choice. Invest in what you know of, not what you have less knowledge of. That's the better way to follow up on things, to avoid making a lot of mistakes you will regret in the future.
However, since you would prefer sticking to gold and silver will do you right, stick up with it, not Bitcoin investment because you really don't have basic knowledge of it.
