Does Robinhood take credit cards? I know coinbase used to. I bought my first $100 in bitcoin with my mastercard.

Wow, it never occurred to me that people would actually buy stocks on a credit card.

That was the easiest way to buy bitcoin on coinbase back in the day. Just charge it to your card. Don't need to transfer money from your bank or wire money in. But then at least in Canada the banks blocked crypto exchanges from credit card purchases. Some banks even blocked debit card purchases.
