25,000 boeing 747s have a capacity of 11.67m passengers, not 1m.
Population of Birmingham is 1.36m, not 1m
Hope freetrade are better at calculating my dividends.
Congrats BTW

I will say it slowly:
If they keep the rhythm of 13,000 new users per day, :freetrade: Freetrade could hit 2,000,000 users BEFORE 2021 ENDS.

Probably misremembered/read the script incorrectly (2500 ā 25000) and the graphics team based the accompanying images off his dialogue.

Iād buy them a calculator then 
They also didnāt add up the prize money correctly on the Rita promo so definitely need to proof read numbers before posting. It is unimportant in reality but not a great look for a finance company.
Just own goals on 2 GREAT bits of news, Rita promo and 1m customers, that shouldnāt have ever been a talking point.
Luckily outside the forum most wouldnāt notice. Well done for the massive increase and hope it is even more with expansion, things are looking good!!!

Im starting to suspect Crowdfunding may be a thing of the past and we wont get another opportunity to invest until IPO. Hope Im wrong but I have a feeling they may decide management time is better spent on other things. Clearly not going to happen in 2021.
I think that would leave a bitter taste in the mouths of those who supported Freetrade from the very beginningā¦
They could of course ignore them and carry on, but surely it wouldnāt be a huge strain on resources given theyāve done it several times before.
They were planning to crowdfund in Europe too, itās a good idea to get some die hard EU supporters invested too, in order to replicate the success seen here in the UK.

We just received confirmation (last month) that FT will be crowdfunding this year, albeit later than the original schedule.
At this stage, I think that more important than capital raised from the crowdfunding round are the marketing opportunities it brings.

I am sure the FT leadership see many parameters we donāt and they WILL pick the optimal timing for raises etc. It is good to guess and fun but in reality we on the forum know so little it is comical we think we know when would be best
That isnāt a insult as I have done it but having trust in the FT team.

Said this before, but major thanks to everybody that refers/shares new user nos - truly 
FT could unicorn just based on the UK market itās looking like 
Echoing what others have said here, but can only imagine how insane growth could be after the European launch
