I have some Bitcoin - bought through, and sitting with, CoinCorner, whom you recommended.
But I'd like to have some on a memory stick. I feel embarrassed to say that I don't know how to. Have you at any time done a video showing how to? And if not, would you consider doing one?
The job of the fca is to keep us poor and limit our choices - the fact we can’t buy BTC etfs, or BTC in our isas, but that we can buy the multitude of dogshit companies that make you lose massive amounts of money through malpractice and deception (see dgi9 or Petrofac for example) is very telling.
An enjoyable Sunday thought piece Dominic. When I lived in Greenwich friends and I would visit the Tunnel Club and Up The Creek to watch stand up comedy. I may even have seen 'Steve' perform.
I realise there are some restrictions on crypto currencies imposed by the FCA, however, there is nothing stopping UK retail investors from opening an account with Coinbase and buying BTC and other crypto. I opened an account with them without any difficulty.
Isn’t there a danger your bank could lock your account when they see a transfer to a crypto exchange? To protect against “fraud” and “money laundering” of course. They wouldn’t do it to punish you for a lack of faith in fiat would they?
Anyway if you use Revolut instead they can’t tell whether your buying crypto, metal, shares or just groceries.
Interesting. I had no difficulties with my Lloyds current account. I've never used Revolut but everyone tells me it's an excellent service.
I think the biggest risk for Crypto currency investors is an authoritarian government simply banning it because it's a threat to their fiat currency monopoly and their ability to borrow to fund themselves. However, the more governments and corporate treasuries invest in Crypto the less likely this becomes.
My suggestion is use it for investing or use it for spending but not both. You don’t want to be in a situation where a scammer gets your card details and uses it to drain your hard earned savings. Theoretically Revolut would make you whole, (if you trust them to), but who needs the Aggravation and stress.
Personally I’d rather be a property seller than a buyer in the UK right now. But if you must buy think about getting as large a mortgage as possible on the longest fixed rate term you can get. This is also a hedge against money printing.
Even comfortably number than tulip bulb spec fever.
Steve Miller sings, & the newrotic, same as the oldrotic shows, the advice that potted im/plants (welcome my son - welcome to the machine 🎶) won’t, can’t, take:
Do you think he still has a boat? Or that he wasn’t always in steerage (snip-snip … moo!) on the Titanic & partying like it was the “still-good” portion of 2008?
Remember Tiny Tim? Crypto Thru The Tulips?
Orchids are cool, too.
But cryptorchidism, the un-descent of man, makes superfluous, even as it retains the snip-snip result (“spay & neuter immediately please”).

Thanks Tim. I can do one, but there are loads of videos online. Trezor or Ledger are the starting points. Then How to use ...
Thank you, Dominic.
I will, as you suggest, start by reading up on Trezor and Ledger.

I've known people to whom that has happened.

I've used Revolut and it works. I just don't trust Revolut!

good advice
Thanks Matthew - lucky you being in Zermatt. Yes, the issue of sending money to exchanges doesn't seem as bad as it was.
Personally I’d rather be a property seller than a buyer in the UK right now. But if you must buy think about getting as large a mortgage as possible on the longest fixed rate term you can get. This is also a hedge against money printing.
Yes. That is what property was until maybe a couple of years ago (and probably will be again at some point)

Remember this guy? He bit down hard on the cointel coin of the realm, too. “Now I have a boat!” :

So far that figure-chain is blocked.
Here’s a piece MS wrote about the cryptocurrs:

SPCA … “prevention”? Or “propagation”?
Timing the next to the last greater fool is a fool’s errand. Sell it. Only then will the turnaround comic life be made manifest.
Wait too late as so many must do will make manifest the tragicomic turnstile ka-ching that whacks those undescended balls.
(If undescended balls are whacked in a forest, does Gump still trump?)
