Guys, as a lot of the Dash people seem to sincerely believe that coinbase is gonna add them first but I think around here we-all pretty much believe (more likely based on what Armstrong, Lee, etc have actually *said* lately, not to mention their actual POLL results) that it's going to be MONERO next up on their platform as the #3 crypto coin gonna be made available to the mass market... it's occurred to me today that maybe something ELSE may be in the works rather than just us or them being disappointed when this news finally comes.
Seems to me that IF maybe coinbase doesn't want to be seen as 'playing favorites' or engaging in any action that could be construed as 'manipulating the markets' maybe if they're seriously gonna add either Dash or XMR next, it might be that they kinda have to ADD BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME??
Picking one or the other right now, especially in light of recent events, has many pro/con aspects to either decision and seems to me there's no clear correct choice other than don't do either of them OR -- better -- just do 'em both at once!!
So, is that crazy thinking or does anyone else here see maybe this might be how it'd have to play out...?
Coinbase have said that their long-term goal is to add multiple coins so it's not necessarily a case of either/or.
That said, given what Lee has said about Dash, I just can't imagine how Coinbase could offer it without undermining their credibility. If their Director of Engineering believes that Dash is a scam, how could they possibly then defend it to their customers? Either it is a scam - in which case they shouldn't be offering it - or their Director of Engineering is not to be trusted, in which case he shouldn't be their D of E anymore. They can't have it both ways.
There is also the possibility that it might be another coin(s) entirely. Litecoin, for example. Or Decred, or even the Basic Attention Token (both of which have had positive recognition by Armstrong and Lee).
My money is still on Monero. Fingers crossed.
