Coinbase rose from 400th to 1st most downloaded app in the USA. Will normies come into crypto in 2018? Is 2017 the last chance to be an early adopter?

In other words the majority is catching on? Onset of early majority =/= peak adoption.
It’s on mainstream media.
It’s all over facebook.
People with no background in finance, investing, computer science or economics are opining about it.
People are using massive credit to buy it expecting it go 10x.
It’s on major exchanges (CBOE, CME, NASDAQ and NYSE made statements)
Central bankers are talking about it with the press
Millennials trust crypto more than traditional investments for their retirement savings
Almost nobody who holds it thinks it’s going to drop in the long term

Companies have formed and firmly established themselves under the proposition to make it easier to understand.
That’s the real kicker - early maj. is all about ease of use. It is easier to buy crypto now than stock.

Early adoption is about determining whether it is practical or not. People buying in that stage don’t care about impracticality, they deal with it because they like the cutting edge tech.
We’re now at a stage where it is being made easy specifically to appeal to the majorities.

You all should know by now there are 2 exchanges opening December 10th & 15th to trade bitcoin Only
One is a futures market that will allow Very big money to SHORT bitcoin now who would want to do that>>> Bankers And wall street<<<
bitcoin threatens them they have created these exchanges to rein in bitcoin i don't know if they will be-able to smash the price like they do in the gold market
So i am here to tell all who have bitcoin many of us are cashing in half of our bitcoin and buying litecoin because the exchanges that are opening Dec 10th & 15th DO NOT! trade litecoin so we do this for safety only!
If there attempt take down bitcoin price fail we just sell litecoin and return to bitcoin
But if they are successful then we have persevered half of our money please pass this on
you do what you want
We want freedom from the bankers & they are coming we just wanted to inform you

No, Coinbase is doing ease of use / back-end / security / user interface style stuff.
they make their cash off trades.. and BTC is filling that role nicely, since anything traded thru them is basically 1$ per move.

I DO think that eventually, when you see how BTC has hovered at 16k for over 12 hours now.. which is the longest it has not been mooning for HAS found its limit.
Then people will literately just look down and see ETH/LTC and buy cuz lol why not.

> Next coins that would hit coinbase, in order.

Blockchain - IBM has been working on this for a very long time, and i know people who have been developing it ; they have a network of businesses willing to adopt
XLM - Same reason as above
Monero / ripple - on the same level.. i dont know TOO much about them..

but i can say. i dont think coinbase will be adding anytime soon.... they want to keep their service up and not get hacked and lose all the cash flow they have now
>When there's a gold rush, you sell shovels.

>> No.4902670

We should take advantage of all the retards pouring their live savings into bitcoin with no finance background.

Crypto Hypebeasts are everywhere.. those 16 year olds that make $20 on bitcoin and think that they're some kind of certified investor. I see them all day on twitter being like "fuck this 9-5 shit not me lol" while they're already employed at Mcdonalds. They buy high and sell low and literally lose money when all they had to do was hold for a few more days.

Anyways I can't fucking stand those chad retards either, they're part of the reason the BTC price spiked up so high, the other reason was because futures were announced.

I'm slightly annoyed because the majority of people who do futures are baby boomer idiots that only want to buy and short BTC respectively. Even my fucking dad approached me about it and it caught me off guard. Don't get me wrong i'm not a edgy shitlord that hates my dad I just hate to see something with as much potential as BTC get hyped up so much,

it's already in the process of correcting itself so I can get back in without having my blood pressure through the roof.

Agreed, but after this BTC crash in the next week.. you will see a call for gov't regulation on cryptos..
which, basically kills crypto from going global; OR; somehow actually helps be a medium for all currency to be evaluated by...

but it will definitely, destroy other lesser coins because we cannot forget.. bitcoin was used by lacrimal (Drugs, guns, hackers, darknet) and that bullshit.
So other froms of crypto will be seen as such in the public eye

Agreed, that is their biggest fear with the MASSIVE influx of new accounts.


It will be down in a few days for maintence, i legit just got a email warning about it..
its just toooo close to when BTC is going on the exchanges.

Coincidence ? maybe.. but i think coinguys know there is chance of a huge short and want to cover their asses when evreryone pulls out in fear.

Yet. I mean they have only added 3 ever. ETH added in July 2016 and Litecoin added in May 2017. So a majority of CB/GDAX existence involved 1 coin. They never add coins that are over what, $10 or so at the time of listing them? Just not sure of a mass adopted poor man's crypto they could add. Maybe XLM. Assumed XRP because it's very spread out, fast, cheap. Maybe what helps connects banks and crypto settlement syst once the regulations you mentioned come out way. Plus, look at the normies -

"Bitcoin is $15,000, can't afford that"
"Ethereum is $500, can't afford that"
"Litecoin is $150, can't afford to trust Charlie Lee"
"XRP is $0.25? Nigga I'm buying 100".

Wrote this and forgot BCH and BTG for the people that held BTC ON CB during forks.

What about tether? I've been skeptical of it but it seems to be fine even amongst all of the fud. If you're trading somewhere like bittrex wouldn't it be safer to hop onto tether and wait out the crash as the prices of BTC/ETH and any other major coin will all be getting pulled down in value?

A very poor one at that. No sane person would ever use Bitcoin to store their money on. When the price is so volatile that you aren't guaranteed half the value you put in an hour from now, it's retarded to use it to store value.
>Too bad its ruined now by people who can't understand that
It's ruined by the people that can't understand that a CURRENCY that sucks as a CURRENCY is shit. They pump money into Bitcoins because it keeps going up in price, but it's only going up because they keep pumping money into it. That's not sustainable.
