@StableArtMaker Imagine a couple in a cafe where he's drinking from a mug decorated with fine images of an assortment of pairs of stylized women's naked breasts while her mug depicts googely eyes with each pair fixed on a different bosom.

I've officially had it with Gemini™
Here are comments I've just posted to the AppStore on their app for iPadOS (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gemini-buy-bitcoin-crypto/id1408914447):
I've used this app for years.
Years ago I complained about the lack of support for ActiveTrader (™ or ® ?) features. There have been no enhancements towards this. It's still no possible to manage simple limit orders via this app.
Worse … the app's stability has degenerated to the point where I'm giving up on it completely. It's been crashing, silently, on startup for at least two months.
No error message (yeah! That's what "silent" means; just being explicit here).
I've upgraded it from the app store, and upgraded iPadOS, and deleted and re-installed it.
This is actually the worst quality I've seen in any app on iPad, ever. It used to work, now it just plain doesn't. It doesn't even load far enough to generate a support request, nor any diagnostic details to forward to any support.
Additionally, Gemini still has not made its Earn customers whole after the capital mismanagement (possible malfeasance) of its finance partners.
I was savvy enough to have moved my funds before that fiasco; but I have multiple friends — referred to Gemini by me — who are still looking at tens of thousands of dollars locked up in that ongoing litigation. While that's orthogonal to the app stability and quality issues — it suggests that this company is not trustworthy.
This is the ONLY 1 star review I've ever posted to the AppStore.
[The following is my earlier review commentary, circa 2021?]:
I cannot give this app a decent rating until it supports limit orders. As it is, it can't even show me the limit orders I have established via the web UI! Also, separately from the app, will we get support for Liquid and L-USDt (Tether on Liquid).
¿Noise?

Interesting how this is framed as an inevitable consequence of increasing longevity and vague "economic factors" rather than acknowledging that it's largely due to plutocratic rent seeking enabled by crony capitalism.

As the populations of developed countries age, working longer until retirement will become necessary.
