I'll second that. Ditto Binance.

And Wall Street bros are all super-skilled, hard-working folks with your best interests at heart? I mean, come on. I'd have thought all the people fighting for freedom, socialist ideals and so on would rather like currency that isn't under the thumb of governments.

(3/3) I also have a soft spot for StakeCube. They've had a rough time recently and they're very low volume but they do a lot of staking coins (that earn while you hold them) and they're nice folks. No KYC at all there, either.

(2/3) My personal recommendation is MEXC, mostly because the trading fees are tiny, there's no enforced KYC (you can for higher limits), it has a lot of liquidity (big traders, easy to buy/sell) and has a feature I'm gonna suggest using later on.

GPT is "get paid to". Surveys, games, signups, etc. There's a lot of these for gift cards, fewer for crypto. The best one I've used is Cointiply - good rewards ($ not cents), very reliable, plenty of regular promos and bonuses, minimum withdraws are $3 or $5.

(2/3) Faucets are very low income. You visit, click a button, do captcha and get BTC or something. It's usually about $0.002 per click, once an hour.

The casino, TrustDice, has one (referral): shorturl.at/ToPT6

And Freebitco (the oldest): shorturl.at/OjYBX

(3/3) The Co-Operative bank will send there, which works for me. I think Santander will, as well, though not 100% sure. Kraken requires KYC, of course. Not recommended for trading, due to speed and fees, but the perfect onramp.

(2/3) Add the annoyance that many banks won't send to exchanges and it can be hard to step into crypto.

I ended up with Kraken. Trading fees are stupidly high and the site's painfully slow compared to others, but there's no charge for GBP deposits (and they do Lightning BTC withdrawals for no fee).
