Dear Elliot,

Thank you for taking the time to read my work and thank you for your kind words.

I believe that for now at least, UK retail investors wanting to dip their toe in the crypto waters will perhaps stick to the tried and tested, perhaps a serving of Bitcoin with a side of Ethereum.

If you pick up the Evening Standard, Metro or any of the other papers lying around the Tube, every now and then there are stories about investing in cryptocurrency and even rags-to-riches cryptocurrency stories — I believe they make for good Tube reading.

But much of that coverage has often been linked to Bitcoin and much of it is paid for by altcoin owners.

So for now at least, my view is that any retail investment interest in cryptocurrencies ought to be limited to the major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Thank you for reading and for your query.

Yours,

Patrick Tan
