        Obvious problems include anti-money laundering and proof that income or capital gains taxes have been paid. You might be OK if you can find a forensic accountant to document everything, but that's what you get when you "invest" in an "asset class" that is preferred by criminals and charlatans
        From the FT article (couldn't read the Torygraph as behind a paywall).
        Nothing in UK mortgage regulation prevents borrowers from using sterling proceeds from cryptocurrency transactions as a deposit. Many lenders including Coventry Building Society, Skipton and the Yorkshire Building Society said they would accept deposits derived from bitcoin sales.

            Oh, and if you want to circumvent the torygraph paywall, (lack of) javascript is your friend. I know, they're cretins.

                  Paying taxes and not engaging in money laundering, or facilitating crimes in any other ways are normal sane civilised things that are to be expected in any modern society.
