I am new to Bitcoin and want to discover what the fuss is about.
I got myself a Ledger Nano and setup a hardware wallet (I think :-))
Now I want to add a nominal amount of Bitcoin to test it all out but, I am finding it difficult to exchange cash for bitcoin. The 3 websites I tried all want me to upload ID such as passport and driving licence.
I understand the authorities want to regulate the markets but I am only going to trade a small amount.

Is it really that hard to exchange currency for bitcoin or am I missing something?
