Robinhood and CashApp have remove the ability to trade certain stocks from their platform.

As George Carlin once said, it's a big club and you ain't in it.

Just saw this on twitter. A good primer for anyone still trying to figure out what's going on.

That's messed up...  What is the allure of Robinhood instead of using like TD Ameritrade?

Is Robinhood the one where you can buy fractional shares? Or am I confusing it with something else?

Yea, I started looking into it after I asked, and that seems to be the only benefit. Wonder how much this move will hurt them.

I tried yesterday, wouldn't go through.


Said my bank declined the transaction, yet I bought BTC earlier in the day. I'm assuming also blocked.

I just tested it and it let me get to the buy screen for Nokia.

Ahh, I didn't actually try to buy. Wonder if they just tell you no once you submit now.

You buy your BTC on CashApp?

Yeah, I got there too. One I got to Face ID to submit the transaction it was declined. I tried like 4 times.

Some people said it was working for them now. The original post I saw about cash app might have been bc everything was slammed at 9:30. 

I’m not buying anything, just thoroughly enjoying following along.

I use Cash App for BTC. I'll eventually move to Coinbase, but I don't mess with other coins and just like Cash App.

Using Robinhood now anyway. I wish you could transfer BTC over and have it all in one place, but they don't allow that.

I'd recommend SwanBitcoin if you're just buying BTC and not the other shitcoins. It's BTC only, super easy to use, and the people running it are awesome.

I tossed a few hundred at NOK when I saw Elon tweet about it.

I'm not in the position to be throwing a lot of money at the stock market, but goddamn I wish I was. I have some friends making ridiculous gains daily. Seems like a hell of a thrill while sitting at home working.
