1. Do you have one or more online trading or investment accounts?
Yes, I have one or more accounts that I access online using a computer.
2. If your response to Question 1 is Yes, do you think you would trade or invest if you could not do so online using a computer or using a mobile app?
Yes
3. On average, how often do you access your online account?
Daily/more than once a day
4. On average, how often are trades made in your online account, whether by you or someone else?
Once to a few times per month.
5. If you access your account online, did you have the account first, and only began to access it electronically later? Or did you open the account with the idea that you would access it electronically immediately?
I downloaded an app or visited a website first, and then opened up an account with the company
6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply):
Keep the amount of money I have, while keeping up with inflation
Save and grow my money for short-term goals (in the next year or two)
Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals
Have fun
7. What would you like us to know about your experience with the features of your online trading or investment platform? (Examples of features are: social networking tools games, streaks, or contests with prizes points, badges, and leaderboards notifications celebrations for trading visual cues, like changing colors ideas presented at order placement or other curated lists or features subscription and membership tiers or chatbots.)
It would be a lot easier to buy XRP if you were being fair about it, because so many exchanges have delisted it since your asinine lawsuit started. Thanks for that.
8. If you were trading or investing prior to using an online account, how have your investing and trading behaviors changed since you started using your online account? (For example, the amount of money you have invested, your interest in learning about investing and saving for retirement, the amount of time you have spent trading, your knowledge of financial products, the number of trades you have made, the amount of money you have made in trading, your knowledge of the markets, the number of different types of financial products you have traded, or your use of margin.)
I actually do it. I can research how to do it. I have learned a lot by putting small amounts of money into the market and either letting it float or crashing and burning.

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
Fraud, or the suspicion of such. Or if that exchange is up to some sketchy stuff. Other than that, not a ton.
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
It's great. It's been a very helpful and convenient way for me to get involved - especially as a normal, not wealthy person. The door doesn't seem as open or accessible to someone like me who has no understanding or ties to trading at all. I am the typical everyman - mediocre math skills, basic computer skills, and the notion to learn how to invest so I can set my kids up and provide more than just the basics for my family.
