Coinbase says they are going to add a bunch of altcoins in 2018. Let's speculate on what they might be thinking of adding.
Chances are they will NOT be adding any privacy coins. See the statement issued the other day by the SEC Chairman. They will be too afraid of running afoul of AML/KYC rules and suffering a regulatory buttfucking.
Coinbase, meanwhile, is a YC company. So are Quantstamp (QSP) and Request Network (REQ). Both, however are priced in the pennies, which optically I think works less well in their favor. So maybe those are out too.
Many people have suspected that Ripple could be an addition. But again, it's a penny coin--despite having an $18 billion USD market cap (kek)
Bitcoin Cash is another possibility, but would be very confusing to normies seeing it alongside regular Bitcoin.
i will eat john mcafee's dick if they add monero or any other privacy coin
Oliver Jones
I really want monero but i doubt they'll add it because coinbase already has IRS up their ass
Dominic Rogers
They said they are adding ERC20 assets... probably on GDAX first.

Change the color of the icon to green. Add short description in the UI.
Juan Young
Dogecoin Gonna meme myself to the moon
Grayson Moore
just sent litecoin with no problem took 10 minutes to get to bittrex
Colton Young
be a lot cooler if they did
Brayden Mitchell
...
Parker Flores
Coinbase will NEVER add Monero. go cry about it.
Easton Gray
omisego.
Benjamin Davis
Golem and omisego are the obvious ones the others idk
Ryder Wood
yc loves ramming their shit together. Might not be one of the first coins but REQ is definitely going to be added at some point.
Juan Collins
>REQ once the train is moving and its a bit further developed its value will go up, making it more accessible/interesting for people to get in. 3-4$ will still seem "cheap" in comparison to 17k.
Hudson Gomez
Noob.
Ripple is penny coin because of supply. If market cap goes up than price goes up.
Brayden Wilson
>Neo why would they include the chinese version of a coin they already offer? >Ripple possible >Request possibility because YCombinator but it's currently not established enough (which will change) >Quantstamp too much a of a niche and same as Request >Iota possible. there is a high demand for that coin because of all the buzz and mooning but coinbase has had extremely bad publicity these last months because of scaling issues and I don't see them adding a barely working coin with a shitty wallet. if I was in charge I would wait for a decent wallet because it's too much shit if the wallet fucks up.
so yeah near future: xrp, bch later: req, maybe iota
Gabriel Williams
Can i see a picture of the skateboard with a gdax sticker? Else i heavily doubt that
Michael Howard
Exactly. And people who actually use monero shouldn't want it listed either. Defeats the purpose of a privacy coin.
Leo Barnes
ty market cap is a function of price, fuckface
Levi Sanchez
solid choices desu. IOTA is really struggling though, dipping back below $4, dev is a walking time bomb, and Binance can't even do IOTA withdrawals yet
Christopher Brooks
I'm gonna say DASH, BCH, and maybe NEO.
Jose Flores
Negative.
Supply of coins. Hence why there's like 30 other coins in the top 50 that have higher prices but lower market cap. Because amount of available coins.
Lucas Baker
doesn't matter what you think, it's still going to happen. omg is THE erc20 token, it will 100% get added if they are adding erc20 tokens.
Juan Murphy
GOLEM it was rumored last year along with ANT and AUG
Noah Nelson
but doesnt omg compete to a certain extent against req? if so, yc buds gonna stick together => omg so sorry
Leo Martinez
Only possible one out of that list is BCH.
Isaac Watson
Monero and Ripple are guarantees. If you search them on Coinbase support this result appears. Not so with any other alts.
Jace White
I hope monero does and the IRS butt fucks all the normées who bought into a privacy coin.
Ayden Torres
they will not add anything like DASH or BCH because the prices will make ETH and LTC look like shitcoins. unless the developer of XRP pulls some magic to get it over $5, that's not happening either.
Monero would make the most sense in terms of USD, but it goes against the entire model. I really can't think of anything other than NEO or something within the $100-200 price range. there's a reason LTC broke that mark.
Joseph Cook
Ripple going on coinbase will push it to 5$ because all the normies see is the price per coin and buy in.
Adam Jackson
XRP likely BCH 80% likely any one confused over BCH and BTC is dyslexic or straight up retarded and should'nt have access to spoons let alone financial instruments
Evan Sanchez
this FUD meme is reddit-tier let it die
Hudson Lopez
95% of coinbase customers dont know what proof of work means, or even what the difference between your private/public addresses are. you think they can grok the subtle differences between btc and bch?
Last time I’m going to tell you. buy golem. They wanted to accumulate so they held off on adding it. Now that normies want in on cheap coins, they will add them.
My other guess is aeternity I can’t remember where but I saw something about it on coinbase
Kevin Gonzalez
>Golem Hahahaha faggit
Lucas Peterson
I think Monero appears because it's actually on their site already under possible withdrawals in the future. XRP is not though. that is not what fud is retard
Bentley Collins
Stay poor then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Chase Diaz
GNT is the most pathetic coin on cmc top 1000
Easton Wright
>grok did you just pop out of Clockwork Orange land me old droogie? regardless, liars and waterheaded babies might slip up
Asher Sanchez
The XRP news was fake. There was a link on the coinbase website to a site saying they are converting current coinbase coins to xrp. It got indexed in their support search. The page still can be found in google's cache. Normies didn't even try figuring out WHY it comes up in the support search.
Grayson Watson
> clockwork orange Stranger in a Strange Land, friend
Parker Cruz
fuck yeah it was, back in June. keep up
welly welly welly well!?
Jackson Adams
ANT was never part of that datamine
it was golem and augur
Brody Baker
>coinbase says they're going to add a bunch of altcoins in 2018 Sauce
So shit. whatever shitcoins CB adds will moon wildly as more users come in and puke at 20k BTC.
Ayden Morales
BAT, hints have been dropped, but they are obviously too high profile to get into spreading rumours
Andrew Lopez
>Coinbase, meanwhile, is a YC company. So are Quantstamp (QSP) and Request Network (REQ).
Good thinking, the easiest thing to do for them is to talk to guys that are also part of YC.
The problem at the moment is that these Coinbase fuckers are completely incompetent, the website struggles with basic coins... It could be that they will just continue struggling
William Diaz
they are definitely not incompetent..
Wyatt Ward
They are 5 minutes away from ripple office in San Fran.
Jonathan Hill
>Change the color of the icon to green. Add short description in the UI.
I feel like bitcoincash is the obvious one because its basically bitcoin, so all of their internal controls they use are already done.
That, and they are making it accessible to people that were holding btc when it forked, so its on its way.
NOT listing bitcoincash would be a political move indicating that coinbase aligns with core...
Andrew Butler
REQ once it passes $1. Not miss will buy I'm and make it reach at least $7-$10 dollars.
Is this just so that they can report more altcoin activities to the IRS?
Juan Cruz
they are absolutely incompetent
>new users cant get through the sign up/verification process >trading platform completely freezes if theres any volume spike >didnt give anyone their BCH after the fork >havent started using segwit yet
dude you can't imagine the scaling issues they are having right now. i think they tweeted recently that their volume was something like 6x the previous max that they had experienced back in the summer. you can't necessarily just turn a dial to fix something like that.
Samuel Williams
Fake. 4chn already posted similar edits with nigger coin and little titty coin being removed.
Ryder Barnes
>priced in check out this oracle. How do xchanges ever compete
John Allen
Still falling for this bullshit.
Sebastian Price
WeTrust coin.
Asher Carter
>19 hours since sent ID verification >still not in
REEEEE
Nolan Ward
So you think BCH goes to 17k because it's added on coinbase?
Xchamges compete because market cap allows it. Again shits already priced in noobs aren't buying 1400 BCH coins when lite coin and ETH are both cheaper alternatives.
Ripple or Req will moon if they get added because noobs will buy whatever coin they can mentally grasp. I own 100 REQ or XRP is mentally gratifying then I own .00005 buttcoin cash.
Colton Jones
if it all gets priced in, what even is the the point of exchanges? what hope do we have?
*priced in* sounds like a fucking lazy idea dreamed up by a kike to keep others away from exactly this kind of speculation
Landon Foster
They will probably add Link. Not kidding.
Andrew Ward
70% of my portfolio is XMR but I know it's just not going to normiebase. It's going to be BCH even though I'm real meh on it.
Chase Allen
Not all of it. I'm talking about BCH. coinbase already said back in august that shot was going on 1 January.
Chase Perry
bch most likely
Ethan Garcia
ARK! ARKIES UNITE OUR TIME IS COMING
Benjamin Lee
Why? Doge coin is better than ark and it's right behind ark on market cap
Dylan Jones
>betting actual money on tier XRP BCH >unlikely but possible REQ >ultimate sleeper pick DOGE
Hudson Hughes
I see doge goin in next year.
Normies can relate to it. It's not just a meme.
Thomas Hill
>dogecoin >better than ark I just don't think so Ark has smart bridges, instant sync wallet, mobile wallet, partnerships, looking for real consumer use, and a good, dedicated deb team.
Dogecoin is a meme coin.
James Roberts
Thats only 50 mil in market cap behind ark.
Go get JUSTD
Jack James
still some doubt tho right? listed for withdrawal? buying with fiat? GDAX dump on the 1st? or buy BCH mid month on coinbase with fiat?
whatever, the priced in meme is still fucking dumb
Dylan Morris
>Linkie detected
Daniel Thompson
>1 Jan >BCH listed >normies cry because they see it listed on the app but cannot buy it >10 Jan it gets listed.
Coinbase already it's going to program and add infrastructure for BCH. It has to for people to withdraw their BCH they received from the fork.
John Morgan
I think it will do a 2x if it gets listed with full functionality. or do a huge dump if it doesn't as people betting on it "price it out" prcing in is not 100% for anything with less than 1 possibility because of risk averaion
Easton Nguyen
Nope XRM.
Colton Thompson
nice. is Bitpay integration mid Jan priced in too? not being a cunt, I just wonder, how much isn't priced in yet. those debit cards.. they priced in? you get the picture
Colton Collins
pricing in is a dullards game. get in before that shit starts. we'll see. i'm out
