    Using Robinhood for crypto is one of the dumbest things you could ever do. The whole point of crypto is that you have the ability to easily self-custody. Robinhood doesn't allow you to actually withdraw your crypto, which means they may not even have the crypto you think you just bought. At least on Coinbase and the others, you can buy it and leave it on there while you learn how to self custody.

    Who cares if your trades last for only a few hours?

    RH is rolling out wallets within 6 months. I think it depends on your horizon, too. If you’re short term, rh is fine. Long term, you want it in an external wallet.
