Coinbase just announced they have over 30 million users.
A massive milestone for any exchange, let alone a cryptocurrency exchange.
In fact, that 30 million number is more users than even Fidelity (roughly 27 million users), which just so happens to be the largest brokerage in the US.
In fact, Coinbase now has more users than E'trade, TD Ameritrade, and Charles Schwab... combined! Those three have roughly 28 million users combined.
Keep in mind those are the 4 largest brokerages/exchanges in the US, and Coinbase bests them all.
Coinbase just keeps on growing...
Coinbase said they added 5 million users in just the last 10 months.
For some perspective, they basically just added an entire E'trade in the last 10 months (E'trade has 5 million users).

Many thought their glory days were behind them after their growth rate seemed to slow in early 2018, however, with the bitcoin resurgence, it appears they picked right back up where they left off in terms of new accounts.
Why in the world is Steem not listed on there yet?
That is a serious question.
They are one of the largest (if not the largest) exchanges in the world in terms of number of users.
They seemed to favor coins that did not go through the ICO process, which steem did not.
Plus they seem to be open to adding more and smaller market cap coins now judging by some recent additions.
On top of all that, they have recently launched the Coinbase Earn program to help users learn about different projects while compensating them to do so.
Something that seems to be right up steem's alley considering steemit.com is its largest and most popular app.
I have contacted Coinbase numerous times personally about getting steem listed on there and I know several of my friends have as well... but am still unable to receive a legitimate reason why it is yet to be added.
So... 
Can we make this a priority in the near term if it hasn't been?
Stay informed my friends.
