Coinbase 2018 speculation thread

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.

Thoughts?

Ripple and iota seem like good bet

so coinbase has only been able to do 2 or 3 transactions a min for the past hour

NEO, IOTA, XLM come to mind

0x project (ZRX)

It was accidently leaked on their Twitter

I would absolutely jizz my pants if that happened

>REQ priced in pennies

By Q1 next year REQ will be 0.5

proof? highly skeptical because it's a penny and an ERC20. if they add 0x they would have little reason not to add QSP or REQ or god forbid even LINK

>Chinese Ethereum ripoff
they do have LTC, so..
>IOTA
probably the most likely, imo
>Another pennycoin

I don’t believe NEO meets their standards, which they have listed on their blog, to be on coinbase.
