<p>I'm very interested in starting out trading with a cryptocurrency but I've noticed every single website seems to have a low Trustpilot rating, full of one stars claiming the website is fraudulent etc. Is this just a common, untrue thing amongst Bitcoin trading sites?</p>

You might also want to ask yourself if you really want to buy bitcoins, or if you might as well buy a certificate or future through a traditional stock trading platform. Personally I can't really see any benefit to going through the hassle and risk of using a crypto currency exchange site, unless you're planning on using your bitcoins as payment or holding on to them for a long time. These platforms are generally secure, easy to use, easy to deposit and withdraw funds from and have less fees than crypto currency exchanges.
