Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about the legal status of cryptocurrencies in the UK. I've heard different opinions and rumors, but I'm not sure what the actual situation is. Is it illegal to buy, sell, or hold cryptocurrencies in the UK? Are there any specific regulations or laws that govern this area? I'm just trying to understand the legal landscape before I proceed with any crypto-related activities. Could you please clarify this for me? Is crypto illegal in UK?
