Hello!

Considering opening a different bank account to buy crypto. Was using my normal day to day in the past but that seems like it'll cause trouble for me nowadays.

Could anyone offer some advice on which one?

A fun story about myself and crypto - my friends and I were buying btc at 7 dollars each. We just spent it on silk road etc and never considered the future. Could be a legit millionaire now rolling about in a lambo. Was an idiot in teens and early 20's. Just felt like we were getting illicit items for almost free for years. ??

{Ed033's Note - i think Supasub was doing Coinbase to Revolut to Starling Bank and vice versa at one point. Don't know whether this is still a method that works ok.

It's likely not many people thought BTC would reach 60k at the time [I never].

Yes still works. Revolut should bridge with most banks. Once set up which doesn't take long I can get funds across and back in less than a minute.
Most banks are going through a phase of being difficult until they make it easier again.

I turned down nearly 3 or 4 BTC in around 2005 for change on something sold on ebay for a few pounds. Tried to get back into the account and Hotmail but never could. Dismissed buying BTC at around £1 too years ago. I won't make that mistake again.

{Ed033's Note - Thanks Supasub.
