I’m curious why people say Robinhood?

Coz we are all biased. We personally like Robinhood better than Coinbase and give into our bias while voting.

Uh it’s because there’s a guaranteed future in people investing money in the stock market. Crypto currency not so much

Barrier to entry in crypto is low. What value does coinbase really provide? I can buy crypto for cheaper on many other apps, including Robinhood. On the other hand, barrier to entry for stock trading is very high. I’m not sure if there had been a single stock trading app that has come out to compete with Robinhood. Apps like stash allow buying stocks but not real-time trading

While I don't disagree with you, this is the case for every company that winds up riding the success wave of a new technology/application. One company winds up getting brand recognition from the normies and winds up snowballing to global domination. Search, social, shopping, ride-sharing, etc

Palantir bobo-mcpoo Mar 16, 2018

Yeah but in most of those categories the differentiator is the value provided. The best search, the best social network, the best shopping experience. Ride sharing is different because there is no real differentiator, hence why there are a bunch of different companies globally and no single dominator. Coinbase has no value add IMO, in fact they take away value with fees.

Robinhood, because they do stocks as well as crypto. Downside is they are not in SF (boo!).

It takes one hack for CoinBase to die.

And how many for Robinhood to die?

Amazon Wyd Mar 15, 2018

Coinbase could actually lose hundreds of millions (or billions) of customers' assets in a severe hack. Robinhood would lose what.. stocks? lmao or sensitive customer info? Totally different risk level.

Binance in terms of company future, not comp or benefits ;) But from these two, I'd peek RH

I’m assuming this is comparing to the 1.3B valuation of Coinbase?
