Localbitcoin FCA registration in UK

[cpu6502]

I got a message today from localbitcoin.com that traders need to register in the UK for a FCA license to trade next year.
I've looked on the FCA website and it mentions only businesses that are trading. It never mentions about private individuals trading.

I use localbitcoin.com. I sell bitcoins now and again, perhaps once a week, that I brought years ago. I don't buy and sell, only sell.

I'm not a business, just a private seller dribbling out my stash now and again. Would this require FCA registration does anyone think?

Are you sure only businesses need to apply for this license? Because on the page here , it mentions "Firms and individuals". It doesn't mention only businesses and you're on the "individuals" side as an average Joe
 
I believe that even if once a week you're just selling your bitcoins bought years ago, you fall into that kind of category from my point of view.

- dealing with investments (buying, selling, etc) or offering or agreeing to do
You invested in Bitcoin a while back and you're now getting the ROI+profits.

This, considering you have records of all your Bitcoin purchases in the past, including date, amount, payment reference number. Otherwise, you have no proof it was an investment, and your government may consider the bitcoins falling out of nowhere and charge different taxes.
(I'm not a UK citizen, just suggesting)

I've no idea, that's why I was asking.
