  Yes, it is legal to use British money (GBP) to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in the UK. The UK government recognizes cryptocurrencies as a form of property, and therefore, they can be bought and sold using British money. However, it's important to comply with any applicable regulations, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) requirements, when trading cryptocurrencies.
