Comment by Reviewer
"Luno will appeal to beginners looking to trade popular cryptocurrencies on a user-friendly mobile app and web platform."	"Plus500 offers a super-clean experience for traders with a CFD trading platform that sports a modern design and dynamic charting. That said, the broker’s research tools are limited, fees trail the cheapest brokers, and there’s room for enhancement in its educational resources."
