Reputable places to buy crypto from the UK (in either GBP or USD)?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I currently have some coin with eToro (which I can't withdraw, so I plan to sell it at the same time as buying elsewhere) and Coinbase (which I can transfer, but the fees for buying here have been quite high). Both of these places also don't seem to have a great rep here!</p> <p>I'm curious where others in the UK buy from? I'm having trouble finding places (that don't turn up some concerning reviews/comments when searching). Also, many in the UK seem to have rip-off rates in GBP (if I compare to how much coin I get for GBP vs USD, the difference is far greater than the exchange rate) - I can easily pay in USD (my bank converts at the Mastercard exchange rate with no fees), though most UK-aimed sites seem to only let me deal in GBP (and I'm not sure I can purchase from non-UK sites due to KYC etc.).</p> <p>Note: I'm looking to buy and send to a hardware wallet immediately, so looking for good prices in total for that.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> Kind Regards R
