I tried Bitunix or Bybit a while ago, maybe need to open them again..  But yes the UK goverment seem to think they have the power to tell you what you can and cannot do with your money..!?

I have accounts with both..... Coinbase making me sit there and answer their stupid quiz in order to access my account, not got time for it! And Kraken as you say tells me I can't access leverage as I am 'not a high net worth' (wtf do they know)!.
So both of those are in bed with governments, they are uselsss... I don't want to be told what I can and not do with my money! That is not the point of crypto is it!

It's a good question and a good point.
I am aware we are closing in on this cycle, maybe another 6 months max give or take if we go by traditional knowledge... Right now I am looking to take a few low level punts... Just £500 here and there with 5x to 10x... a few (imo) low risk trades considering where we are in the cycle.

I was not sure where to post this so here goes.
I am looking for an exchange that offers leverage.. I am in the UK, and sadly it seems this dystopian government have stopped all leveraged trading.
I am looking for an exchange that will let me use leverage, 5x, 8x etc...
Ideally that will accept GBP deposits to save me messing around with swapping in GBP to USDT and then wallet transfers.
Any good suggestions?

I like to take a broad view of things, and understand 'bitcoin', 'blockchain' + 'crypto' for what it is, or is meant to be.
I have a few selected people on 'youtube' I follow (obvioulsy it's not where I get my knowledge from) and now and then Andrea's videos pop up and he's got that rare inspiring spark that can really make the complex seem simple.
A lot of his older videos from say 2016 talk about Bitcoin as being the next revolution in mankind, a tool to free us of bureaucracy and so on.
But where are we now, ETFs cumulatively own something like 1.2 million bitcoin, Blackrock 550,000, MicroStrat 400,000 and so on..
Is Bitcoin really the saviour of humanity?
Is it a trojan horse?
Will it become the Pets.com of Internet 3.0?
I like Andreas's explanation that Biycoin is not money for the internet, it is the internet of money, or something along those lines, but what will happen if 90% of the BTC available are owned by huge corporations? Wasn't the idea that BTC would free humanity?
I am still open to the idea thta BItcoin is a deep state operation, or created by a very well known tech entrepreneur. 

Yes I am from the UK..

The irony is the UK gov make it hard for you to trade / invest in crypto, but hen expect you to pay tax on any crypto you have.... screw those con-artist! Their time is up!

I don't want 100x haha
5x will do.
I just don't want to be paying suxh high fees to trade... To depsoit $1000 cost me $12 and then to withdraw that same amount another $12,.... $25... nah!

This topic has been moved to Exchanges.

Kraken now has taken all ability away for EU and UK user, leverage not possible. Only for businesses. Another dumb move by kraken.
Bybit has crazy fees o add and withdraw funds.
Can anyone suggest a legit exchange that allows leveraged trading?

I am messaging them through their contact section, emailed them and then the email carries on in my own email client.
It's like dealing with a bunch of sassy girls at high school, they seem to choose themselves if they will deal with me or not.. It will have been 4 days tomorroe since I had a reply.
I opend a new email case too, yesterday daytime and no reply yet. I am getting pi**ed off now.

Hi exactly, why is it not giving me a code.
When I log into kraken, I add username and passwoird, all good.. then 2FA screen. I open Google Authenticator and nothing, just an illustration of a cat playing with a wool ball... i.e no codes...?

I have already submitted a new case, and no rpely on prevuous case for 2  days now.. They can not act like this, are they not regulated by FCA? Don't they have to comply. It feels like a bunch of school kids running a popularity contest who just pick and choose.

Thanks. I will keep trying with kraken..
When i call their 'customer care' number, I get a text right away saysing 'we can see you are calling about a security issue, we can't help you on the phone'... the other day I was on hold for 35 minutes and gave up! I am getting my funds out of there as soon as i get in!

Thanks but you have to be signed in to transfer...?
I am ata. loss, kraken not replying to me, they are useless..

I don't remember being given this option. The workthrough kraken gave me was a bit confusing.
I need to get back into my account. Kraken not even replying to me now.

I know my google account is using an @email.com and my kraken is outlook... Will this be an issue?

You saying if I don't know my 2FA I can never log back into my account? That seems wild.

At the time I don't think I was using 2FA.
As it happens I am back in kraken now, and my funds are still there.
I set up 2FA, now I can't log in, I am checking the google authenticator app but no codes are appearing. This is truly a balls operation.

Hi thanks for your reply.
I can't sign in to Kraken though to sort the 2FA out...? Kraken not replying to emails however. Been 22 hours now.

Wasn't sure where to post this but here goes.
I set up 2fa on my kraken account. I don't see how it could have messed up.
I tried to log in, it asked for 2FA code - I opened Google Authenticator but it's just a picture of a cat plating with a wool ball!
Meaning it has not linked with my account?
Can anyone help me here, because kraken are not interested in helping.
And thus I can not seem to log into my kraken!
Any ideas?

I ahve ran malware and clean my mac and nothing popping up.
Plus macs are harder to plant torjans aint they.
