I thought they did but I just double checked and I am wrong. They DO NOT deal with any form of FIAT.
I obviously bought elsewhere and transferred in. Apologies.
Cant even remember how I got my funds in and out previously lol

Will try look at my TX history.

Just remembered buying from here : [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
They are better/cheaper for smaller amounts e.g. £10s, or £100s
For over a grand use elsewhere.

From memory I used Bitpanda for larger amounts or Maybe Cobinhood. My memory is terrible and a recent PC format made it difficult as I haven't restored everything yet.

For any thinking of investing in TRX.

Consider this. It had a high of 2247 sats about 6 months ago ( I do everything in BTC satoshis for good reason )
It is currently hovering around 500 sats ( up and down )
It has a LOT of announcements this year and main net is launching and leaving its current ERC20 based token within 2 months to its own unique block chain.
It is faster and cheaper (tx costs) to use than others.
It has plans to decentralize the internet (I will wait to see how this pans out)
It has the most hype and currently the most traded volume across the biggest exchanges of any other ALT coin.. It has even been traded with more volume than ETH and XMR recently...
IMHO a boom is coming.

Do your own research but I am in.

I don't always believe in what will be a massive success. Sometimes I look at what will make me money. Undecided about TRON but swaying to major success.
At least I am confident I will profit. Already have tbh

I know piggzy hates them, but for ease, Coinbase is straightforward:

- Sign up with Coinbase and get a free $10 [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

- Using Coinbase you deposit your £ in exchange for crypto - as piggzy pointed out, i would buy either Eth or LTC.

You then need to move your crypto to an exchange, again i find Binance very easy to use and they have TRX:

- Sign up with Binance - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (50% off trading fees)

Then you send your Eth/LTC from Coinbase to Binance (using Binance you will see the deposit wallet address, so make sure you send from Coinbase to the correct address).

Easy!

I've recently installed the Litecoin official wallet and transferred everything I had from everywhere and put it there.

What is the difference between storing here rather than an online exchange? Much? I've not decided which to go with yet, although Litecoin is reasonable for buying at the moment.

Over the passed few months, I'm down but not by loads. I don't appear to have enough time in the day to keep a close eye on the trends.

By keeping your coins on an exchange, you do not own the private keys. Therefore your coins are at risk if the exchange is hacked etc. Moving them to your own wallet means they are safer.

So move them if you intend to hodl, but no good moving if you intend to trade.

Stay safe out there :/

**BigBrand** · 13th March 2020

Seeing if LINK creeps down to £1 or £1.20, if so I'm going back in.

Currently hold x245, bought in Oct 19 for £1.81, so evens at the moment, but was up to £3.50 not long ago.

Been a while, but how you guys fairing?
I only just recently decided to buy in on XRP at $0.39 so slightly up, the jump a few week ago got me excited but that was short lived.
Those holding BTC will have a wide smile atm.

**consoles** · 3 Weeks Ago

Any who bought in to the fun coin Doge will be smiling now 400% pump in the last 24hrs
my 100 investment now sat at 560 and due another huge pump today

**evilsatan** · 3 Weeks Ago

So bemused over all of this, the fact a coin can be released referring to a meme and it has value

But then again look at Gamestop, AMC, Tesla, shows what can be done if private investors believe in it.

I haven't touched crypto so missed out on all of this, still in the same predicament that you can't base value on anything other than sentiment. Institutions have now bought in though, I had looked for a tracker fund of mixed crypto but didn't find one, will look again sometime and give it a go if I find one.

Congrats to anyone that made money on these runs!

**hoponbaby** · 3 Weeks Ago

There is a pump planned for XRP today - if you hold then worth keeping an eye on the price and if you don't then possibly worth considering...

**consoles** · 2 Weeks Ago
