What do you think the freetrade share price will be at the next funding round? :grin: It’s fine if you don’t want to answer this super important question that we are all dying to know.

My most liked comment on here is about LISAs - 51 likes.

Why does Freetrade condemn me to have my LISA with AJ Bell who are truly incompetent, exorbitantly overpriced and absolutely ***** ******** *** ****** *** of a ******* *** **** pile of ******** ***** ** who couldn’t ****** ***** in a **** with a ********* if their lives depended on it?

I’m not exaggerating when I compare my feelings towards AJ Bell to ***** ******* ***** with a ***** *** ******** ***** on top of a massive ***** **** with ***** ***** sprinkled on top.

tl;dr - Love Freetrade, Hate AJ Bell - when are LISAs are coming and what did you use on your hair for that photo - looks great!

Are we expecting any new features before the end of the year apart from EU expansion?

While I endorse most of those items, the fact that crypto (with all of its niche appeal and regulatory issues) outperforming LISAs means that it can never be anything other than advisory!

I’m more worried about the regulatory side. Rightly or wrongly, there has been concern about crypto being used to launder money. That could translate into banks blocking transfers to/from Freetrade or onerous identity or money tracing obligations placed on the company.

I’d much rather FT focused on its core business of listed shares, to be honest. Come back to crypto when things are clearer from a regulatory perspective.

(I’m not expressing a pro or anti crypto position here, btw, just looking at the regulatory risks involved).

Anyway, I think we’re a bit off topic, unless @duncan has strong views on crypto currencies!

One last question from me (hopefully - I give no guarantees!). What do you think about the current look and feel of the app, @Duncan?

(Personal view: it’s served well for the first few years, but could possibly do with a bit of a visual refresh and tidy up).

:question: :grey_question: Will Freetrade ever support Primary Bid? I’ve had an email from them today with a discounted offering for shares in a company I already hold on Freetrade ( Greencoat UK Wind plc) and not being able to take advantage of it makes me weep.
