Robinhood ; funny enough is the reason We hopped into the crypto space at all π. Long story short; in late 2015 I invested in a company that John Mcafee had just become the CEO of (MGT capital). This was literally my 1st experience buying/trading anything. The stock did okay over time, but in every one of their press releases they would explain how much more mining power they had acquired to mine bitcoin. After several flash backs from hearing about bitcoin in high school I was sold.
Lol hope that story wasnβt too long, but you get the point π Robinhood is taking a step in the right direction, into the future. Crypto trading starts in February :) Get signed up if your in for the ride. π
I just added myself to the list also. So at approximately 1:00PM Central USA time, they have 131,729 or more people on the list. :)
Here is my proof of the number I saw when I signed up:
It's fun to see so many new exchanges and people getting involved with the new crypto economy. (granted it's not super new, but it's mostly still new to me)
Thanks for your post about it. :)

It's well over 200k now, and I think that many of these signups will be millennials -- meaning more on ramps for crypto !
Also, it sounds like the first people to gain access will be in one of five states that Robinhood has received clearance to operate the crypto business in. It just so turns out that one of those states is Missouri, where I currently am living. Guess living in a state that literally sounds like "misery" is worth something sometimes. :)

This is fantastic news! I actually signed up for Robinhood 2 weeks ago for stocks and when you sign up they give you a free stock. I got Sirius (SIRI). Only worth about $5, but still cool nonetheless! I wonder if they'll do any type of similar promotion for Crypto!
...They seem like a very progressive company with the user in mind first and making efforts to grow!

The Bitcoin Core (BTC) network is in trouble due to high fees and slow transaction times. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the upgrade that solves these problems.

My eye caught 92,000 people signed up already. I'm sold. I heard about robinhood close to 6 months ago from a friend who invests in the stock market. Though not as much as a lucrative investment for him i believe that it could work just you have to put in a good amount.
