Buy 1 BTC but UK banking limits £10,000 per month
If the price of BTC dipped to £50,000 / $69,035 how would someone in the UK purchase 1 BTC?
UK banks have £10,000 per month crypto limits !
Someone would have to plan 5 months ahead, transfer £10,000 each month into an exchange (Coinbase / Kraken) and trust the fiat was safe, sat there, earning zero interest!
Is this the way?
