In the 1800s, two things barred middle-class access to the stock market: accurate prices and high broker fees. Bucket shops solved both these problems - they bought professional ticker machines and allowed commoners to bet on stocks with small amounts of money.pic.twitter.com/oy4rxNQ7BM
Bucket shops were at first welcomed by the legacy exchanges, seen as a "democratized Board of Trade" Then the exchanges started losing market share.pic.twitter.com/9klc9cvofT
Exchange & government officials soon changed their tune, labelling bucket shops as "gambling wagers dressed in respectable clothing". Bucket shops became outlawed in most states by the 1880s.pic.twitter.com/wX11P0t2JB
Robinhood is the 2020 equivalent of a bucket shop. - Low cost trading - Gambling tendencies - Immediate, accurate prices - Speculative customer base - Taking market share from legacy brokerspic.twitter.com/dgLwv6tcfT

Thanks! History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. The markets were just as crazy then as they are now...
