UK crypto set up

[Bunny]

I am a techno idiot and stuff I've read about crypto makes me want to lie in a dark room for 4 hours 😳. I'm in the UK so most of the USA apps don't apply. Anyone knowledgeable about how to commence with crypto in the UK? Everything I look at seems to hit a dead end 😞 What apps to use (simplest and easiest!)please. If I get pointed in the right direction I'll work out what to do. I think 😂

I am UK based and have talked a couple of people through it step by step. Feel free to DM me if you want some support with it. I was so scared of crypto at first but it's quite simple, really.

Thank you. I am going to try and set an account up today. I am wanting to make an order and have contacted 3 vendors. Nobody has responded! I suspect that Paypal payments will stop at some point.

Yes, most are stopping PayPal. But crypto isn't as hard as you think, I promise.

First thing to do if you haven't already is download and set up coinbase, including linking it to your preferred payment. I use debit card as it's faster. In the UK we have a 24 hour hold on buying crypto once it's initially set up, so if you do that now it means you'll be able to buy tomorrow. The hold applied to all exchanges, but I know and use coinbase.
