No sir, using crypto isn't required. You can link up an regular bank account to buy stocks and crypto. Youll get $25 worth of stock (fractional shares) right when you sign up. After depositing cash, if you use any that money to buy crypto, they'll give you $25 of Bitcoin.

After depositing a total of $100, well both get $50.

Pretty much $100 for free.
I used my Dividend payment from Tapestry which was almost $20 to buy some Bitcoin on my account and they gave me $25 for free. I just left all that invested in Bitcoin. I might add to it from time to time.

I been using SoFi for several months now and it's not the best brokerage when it comes to features but on all my holdings I can buy partial shares and it even has limit orders now. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a proper drip plan and I guess their data on your investment's performance could be better.

Will I be able to buy crypto in Maryland or DC? Robinhood won’t allow me to.

Not big on cryoto but I’d like the option to trade it.

I'm up almost 50% on my Apple share purchases from earlier this year. I wish I would have bought more.

they've been on a tear. i'm gonna start a position soon. 10+ years from now this price will look like a steal for apple.

even tho i like baidu, intel and square i should've invested in apple at that time.

Apple fell in the $140s and I was a bit late. I bought in the $150s and again in the $170s my position is pretty small at only 20 shares now. I had more but I sold some shares a while back. I should have kept it.

I bought some Intel when it was about $42. It just seemed like it was a good value. It was on one of those China scares.
