Vlad Tenev says Robinhood customers overwhelmingly agree that they should control their own money and that nobody should tell them how to spend or invest it.

“For our customers, you know, I, we, we spend a lot of time talking to them, figuring out what they care about, and one of the things they care about most that they agree with is, uh, the statement that I should be in charge of, of my money, and nobody should tell me how to spend or invest my money.”

“When we say to our customers, "Do you agree with this?" I mean, there's overwhelming agreement. Um, so not to say that they'll personally wanna do every type of risky speculative investment, but they don't think that it's the government's place or anyone's place to tell them what to do with their money broadly.”
