Coinbase may be more open now than ever before to altcoin listings...
We need to keep the pressure on Coinbase for a HIVE listing.
It likely has never been easier for an altcoin to get listed on Coinbase than it is right now.
They recently released a new report talking about how based on their findings, bitcoin is predominately the gateway to the altcoin market at least in regards to retail investors.
According to their findings, the majority of their customers buy bitcoin initially, but from there, only 24% continue to hold just bitcoin.
More than 75% tend to branch out into other assets...
Check it out:
Why does that matter?
It matters because now we know that Coinbase knows what the people want.
(I mean it's very likely they already knew, but now it's public knowledge that they know, which is a good thing)
It's a good thing for any crypto projects out there with an active user base that are looking at Coinbase for a listing.
Hmm... sounds a lot like HIVE.
Also they said this in their report which seems to hint that they know the value altcoins hold...
“To the extent we believe that alternative assets and networks will provide differentiated services (beyond store of value and digital gold as Bitcoin is targeting), it will be important for the industry to build support for these other assets as well.”
"Important for the industry to build support for these other assets"?
You don't say...
Sounds an awful lot like they will be looking for good altcoin projects to provide support for.
No reason ours can't be next.
Plus you know, there is a $10k bounty for anyone that can pull off a Coinbase listing for HIVE.
Stay informed my friends.
