Didn’t robinhood shut down trading over the game stop shit.
Robinhood did participate in market manipulation to prevent the purchasing of gamestop shares. That's bullshit and a lot of people are upset and that's a valid complaint but you can still do what I'm telling you to do and not be effected. There are better ways to buy bitcoin like coinbase for example however I am telling you, a absolute n00b how to get in on this shit as easily as possible without any fees whatsoever. Robinhood will give you instant access to money you upload to their account from your checking account. You'll be buying a dollars worth of bitcoin tonight. Theres better ways sure but there is not an easier way.
In the future you can look into getting your own offline wallet to store your crypto currency so you don't have to rely on access to Robinhood at all to hold and use crypto. For today I want you to get your foot in the door quick and easy with no fees. Buy a dollars worth of crypto tonight. Do it!
Robinhood is a mismanaged mess that illegally offered margin to every customer. If we had the rule of law, people would go to prison, but instead they will probably be hit with massive fines.
If you trust them to hold your bitcoin you are an idiot. Also, you can't pull your "bitcoin" off of Robinhood. The idiots who run it think that they are clever, maybe even "clever" enough to not keep 100% reserves of the bitcoin that they claim to hold on behalf of their users. They keep you locked in, so how are you going to pass your bitcoin onto your heirs? You can't.
Coinbase is easy for beginners. They don't need to use the pro interface, just the normal, higher fee, part. Coinbase is going to exist in ten years. Robinhood probably won't.
I can’t at the moment I canceled my card. Waiting for a new one
