    So approx an extra £18K in my pension last few months (its a tracker so its not exact). Happy about that.

    Just wish I'd bought more actual BC. Only got 0.2 :-(
    Hi psychocandy

    What tracker did you use with your SIPP ?

          What trading platform are you guys using to buy/sell?

          I never did manage to sign up with any of the platforms. None of them seemed to want my money - I literally could not make payments!

            It's been up and down since I posted that. I was thinking of taking out half, which would be a 50% ish profit. But then I've only got a couple hundred quids worth, so I'm just gonna see what happens.

                Poloniex and bittrex. I had a trial account with coinigy, which was great, but decided it wasn't worth paying for.

                I bought my BTC on a credit card with coinbase. Not the cheapest way of doing it, but was fairly easy to do. There's also local bitcoins. I used that for a small purchase of about £100 but it felt incredibly shady, so decided not to use it again.

                      Don't usually interrupt my holiday time (which is great if not hot) with this forum...

                      I'm sure you know the reason why Stellar shot up, which is to do with the IBM partnership IBM News room - 2017-10-16 IBM Announces Major Blockchain Solution to Speed Global Payments - United States

                      Rumourmill is in overrive that Google are next to sign up (not going to tell you source so don't ask). If the news does come out, sell on the news after 20 hours of the pump. Thank me later (again).

                      Still waiting on thanks for my original Stellar advice!! You'd have made near 200% gain!
