Buying anything on Coinbase is ludicrously easy now, compared to 2017. You can link your UK bank account to it, and hit BUY. They take a decent chunk.. which is the problem. Use CoinbasePro and they take zero.
Unfortunately CoinbasePro is like 'The Matrix' to the man in the street. We are making progress.
How do i become a pro?
Just logon to coinbasepro and you are a pro!
Oh, it's even better when you get instant deposits on Coinbase Pro.
Makes catching dips and stuff less annoying.
