I have known about Bitcoin for many years and even considered buying some a few years back (wish I had done!) but alas, I did not. However; I did not know there were actually many many more crypto coins around – all claiming to do something better or faster. After doing some research and watching many YouTube videos, I started to take an interest in a select few of them.
One of the reasons I have started looking in to these crypto currencies is due to the way UK banking systems provide credit. Credit Scoring is a major player in UK and since loosing my home due to the Family court incident and moving back in with my mother, I know longer have any credit rating. Due to this, my credit score is practically non existant – So; trying to get anything which needs a credit rating is impossible. Even trying to get a mobile phone contract was extremely difficult.
I bought my first Bitcoins (or rather Satoshis – as I could not afford a whole Bitcoin) in August 2017. After a few atempts with my card being blocked by my bank and a few phonecalls later I bought £20 worth. I was so happy… I was now part of the bitcoin family. Just for interest, that £20 is now worth £130!
