Something that is free isn’t always the best option

Paper money is going away.

As a cryptocurrency investor, you shouldn’t trade cryptocurrencies on Robinhood. Just this year alone has proven the unreliability of this free trading app in the stock market. Imagine if the same results happened to you with cryptocurrencies. You wouldn’t be one happy camper at all.
The one benefit to using Robinhood is the free trading or zero commissions the platform offers. If you want to make a trade with Robinhood, the platform will not charge any extra fees when you execute the trade. Robinhood encouraged many other financial platforms to follow their lead in the past year such as Charles Schwab, ETrade, Fidelity, and others.

As the stock market was feeling the effects of the coronavirus with investors selling in early 2020, Robinhood crashed three times. Users were unable to make trades when they wanted to. This resulted in a lot of mad users of the platform.
Then a 20-year-old college student killed himself after seeing a $730,000 negative balance on his Robinhood account. I don’t believe I have heard similar stories from other stock platforms. Robinhood attracted a lot of followers from Millenials and Generation Z because of their zero commission platform and ease of use.
Use a reliable cryptocurrency trading platform. There are dozens of platforms available such as Coinbase, Kucoin, Binance, EToro, and others. The available cryptocurrency platform is based on the country you live in as well.
