I don’t know if this is the right place to post this question, but what platform/broker should I be looking for to get in on the trades you suggest? Currently on Robinhood but thinking of opening an account somewhere else to test your methods.

I've just finished recording a video on this. For people outside the US, I like Binance and OkEx. For inside the US, you'll want to do Coinbase and Robinhood.

Robinhood is a stock + crypto one stop shop, but you can't get your coins off it. So, you'll lose your forked coins. That's relatively rare, so not terrible.

Also, do Coinbase Pro, not regular Coinbase. I am not going to give you an affiliate link, because you'll lose $25 bucks a trade (roughly) on regular Coinbase. As much as I'd like your $10 bucks for an affiliate sign up, I'd rather have you save $15 on your first trade.

Appreciate it! Is this how you do the investments in Crypto miners?

I don't recommend what I literally do, but I'll spell it out.

I use a variety of older and more established brokers because they give me better access to shares for shorting and because I can program algorithms to interface with their APIs with ease.

Gemini has robust API documentation, incidentally.

So, I buy cryptominers with those brokers, but there is no reason someone starting out (or who doesn't want to program) should follow my path. Just use Robinhood, because it's easy and trades are free.
