Traders need to actually think about what FI has achieved this in period. The world is on fire. Financial investments are way down. The housing market is extremely uncertain and we're all in a total state of flux.
FI has not only sustained its market cap, it's increased.

This is at a time where there was no football being played for 2 months. Literally the most crucial element of FI was not present for 8 weeks.
FI bent over backwards to keep traders happy in the pre-lockdown days with Moving the Goldposts, 8.25% Trading Bonus and Double Divs.

Given that a week later the UK was facing its biggest crisis since WWII, FI still honoured all these promotions and gave traders scope to make significant profit.
Then when football stopped, they protected traders from potentially huge losses by stopping the panic selling.

FI did so much to help traders and protect their money and I don't think we realise how much tbh.
Over the next 2 months until Bundesliga returned, FI recovered to pre-lockdown levels and then smashed through it. All at a time where 99% of people where locked in their own homes!

Then, FI introduced a gamechanging innovation which sets FI up to propel to the next level.
It's not perfect, needs refining and additional development to maximise its potential. However, whilst other companies would have retreated, FI went in for the kill.

FI traders have a huge connection to the product. We feel like we have a significant vested interest in its success. To a degree a lot of us should feel a sense of pride and concern for the future.
We should not feel entitled to have profit handed to us on a plate all the time.

We should not be entitled to promotions and bonuses when the market dips slightly.
We should give our opinions - we should not criticise every single thing FI do and assume we're correct to do so.
We should not throw our toys out the pram at the slightest difficulty or change.

Traders do not have sing FI's praises all the time just because we think we should do. It's important that we don't appear like a cult who will praise FI in all circumstances.
However, I believe we have a responsibilty as a community to show FI in its brightest light.

If a potential new trader sees mud-slinging and #footballindex being littered with negativity, why would they invest?
Things are not meant to be easy all the time. It's a market which is meant to have its ups and downs.

Imagine what you'd want to read about if you were joining FI?
- Excitement?
- Profit making opportunities?
- Using football knowledge?
- Sense of community?
You wouldn't want to see comments about how FI needs to prop up the market or how traders are spitting their dummies out.

FI is still the most innovative, exciting gambling platform in the market. I firmly believe that.
It has come such a long way. But it's not even close to its max.
Be opinionated, give feedback. But do it in a constructive way.
Be part of the reason FI will continue to grow.
