    Never use a credit card to buy crypto. There's been a couple of cases in the UK whereby folks have had their accounts closed without warning.

    Use bitstamp or bitssquare if you wish to trade with individuals.

        Why? Is it against T+Cs to buy crytocurrency?

          Because I'm only transferring money to another individual. Unless there's a law against that... Give Mayhem time..

            Bitcoin in the UK has a weird perception. It is the currency of criminals.

            Meanwhile in Japan people are using it to buy every day stuff.

            UK is behind the curve on this one big time, which is surprising for a financial capital like London. Why already is there not uni courses on blockchain?

              Good grief my Ripples went up over 30% in the past 24hours. MAD

              This increase is the result of two exchanges coming online in Korea coupled with the other news from Ripple suggesting they'll freeze coin distribution for 10-years.

              Stellar is also going crazy.

                Shame on me for not following up on buying those two. Been busy at work and didn't have as much time to try get some. Found it a little crappy getting in on it as I need some Bitcoin to start trading so it seems, unless I use my CC which I tried


                I see Ripple and Stellar going up, Litecoin dropping, wondering if I should invest now or wait a little more, from what you said this coin is for the long run rather than quick profit. I will have to check and see what I can do to get some as I left it too long. Did you manage to deposit any XLM in that wallet? I did not check it.

                  I was using Twocoin hoping to move up to Manycoin but due to a fracture in the breeches I've had to revert back to Onecoin

                    Money laundering
                    Terrorism financing

                    Probably a few others

                      I signed up to Poloniex, Coinbase, Cryptonator and through none of these could I actually make a purchase of bitcoins and so I couldn't buy any other cryptos. It's a bloody pain trying to set this up.

                      On Coinbase I am apparently fully verified but when I try to but bitcoins it says:

                      "To complete a purchase using, you must first authorize the buy with your card issuer."
