I got this thing because I made a decent bit off flipping bitcoin before Robinhood let its mask slip and everybody jumped ship, so I rolled the profits from that into a Ledger Nano X because I figure why not reinvest those earnings and trade the right way?

I've been meaning to get crypto to get my assets out of USD so I'm insulated from the coming hyperinflation, but now that I've got one and I'm looking into how it works it seems like more trouble than it's worth. I set me Ledger up with Ledger Live, did all the seed word bullshit, then when I went to actually trade I saw how high the transaction and "handling" (excuse the fuck out of me?) fees were and if I didn't know any better I'd say this whole Bitcoin thing was a scam.

I did some looking into it and apparently Electrum is a better solution, but then I'd have to create a new wallet with new seed words, I don't even know if it'll use my Ledger for authenticating transactions, and this is turning into a shit show pretty fast. Which is why I'm here asking for advice from people who already trade crypto with a Ledger.

Robinhood has been sabotaged and villainized repeatedly.

It's actually an okay platform.

They are hated because they broke the rules of the psyop.

No app gives you all features, A, B, C and D.

It's like they aren't allowed. No one app has all the buy indicators. Each one offers A or C, but never all ABCD.

No one app rates all 5k stocks in a logical manner. You have to make it yourself.

If you want a fee less system, you are going to have to create your own set up.

Personally, a number of us started with just mouse robots on TDAmeritrade and Schwabb. If this, that and the other thing, then click. Basically.

Didn't Robinhood get vilified for going with the psyop and freezing buys on GameStop stock?

All the major platforms were forced to. Not just Robinhood.

If they were forced to, then how'd they break the rules of the psyop?
