Hi, I'd like to try my hand at trading with a small amount of BTC/Altcoins here in the UK but could do with some advice if anyone can help?
Can I trade freely on non UK based exchanges like poloniex etc ? Are there any restrictions/pitfalls I need to know about, especially being UK based ?
Thanks for any advice whatsoever!
I would like to ask, why do you think that you cannot trade freely on non UK based exchange?
There is no restrictions as far as I know, especially in such a country as UK. You can just trade on every single exchange you want, if it is not easy for you to convert the bitcoins/altcoins you have there into fiat, then just simply make a transaction with those funds on the other exchanges ( why not UK-based ) just to have an ability to exchange the cryptocurrency for real money.
Obviously, for all this you need bank account to be able of getting the payment out of the cryptocurrency exchange, unless you are going to choose localbitcoins.com and sell them for cash.
