### 1/5 — This app has problem

*2023-08-04*

Email verification doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hello! Apologies for the issue you've been experiencing. Please make sure you create a Bad Trader account and login with those credentials, rather than the credentials for your brokerage account. The credentials for your brokerage account will not be recognized on the Bad Trader login page and will not trigger a verification email. If that does not resolve the problem, please contact us at support@badtrader.app. We should be able to help you get everything sorted!

### 5/5 — A Proper Degen Network

Why throw money away alone, when you can throw money away with your degenerate friends.
