Hey UK Nostriches, a friend of mine is looking for a good place to start buying Bitcoin. She's a complete beginner and not super tech savvy, so please don't suggest P2P self-custody quite yet (we'll get there).
Looks like many of my go to's aren't supporting the UK any more.
Where should she go?
Here is a full list of vouched places
If all else fails, she can come here and get zapped
How about an exchange such as Bitstamp?
Relai and other swiss exchanges are probably the best bet as theres no kyc for purchases < 1k per day.
nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v doesn't support the UK right now.
Grumble. They used to. Shame.
kraken and then you go do a lightning withdrawal to mutiny wallet or Zeus wallet which will be nice and simple on her phone, can also do on chain withdrawal but more fees.
Kraken pro should work
Robosats > Peach > CoinCorner
So from your description, CoinCorner.
Why not an exchange like Binance?
+1 for Kraken. Always been good to me. + has Lightning..
I buy from Coincorner - then use lightning to withdraw to my self custody wallet with zero fees 🫂 💜 They are #bitcoin only

CoinCorner? There’s no KYC-free option I’m aware of other than Bisq etc.
Coincorner
I think Kraken is the easiest for a newbie atm
Bittr, Relai and Coincorner
Coincorner +1
