I'm very happy with the kind of news coming out with Coinbase lately  and in general.  This will do so much good it can be hard to compute how beneficial it will be for Bitcoin and the community.  I'm not expecting an immediate reaction by the public, but it's going to be interesting watching the price in the next six months.

There has been so much speculations about the price for all sorts of reasons. It will be nice to see who has their "finger on the pulse", and can understand where we are headed.

Excellent bit of news.  Going international shows they like what they've seen so far and they want more customers to have access to the service.  Wonder how long It will be before people get the hint that Bitcoin is not some fly by night investment scheme.  It in now in my opinion slowly becoming the norm.

While Germany has lenient regs for btc investors not sure about regs for btc businesses
I guess Germany will be in the second wave of countries where Coinbase launches

Yeah I was also puzzled about this. It has a population of 80m, not exactly small. And it also is one of the countries that survived the economic struggles and the whole Euro-crisis without too many scratches or bumps.
Germany would also likely fare the best in the event that the Euro were to collapse so germans would likely flock to bitcoin the least in terms of population percentages in the event the euro fails.

I guess Coinbase is going after the low hanging fruits in Europe from a reg perspective
Germany regs can be a little opaque and technical,so maybe they felt it was too risky initially
Surprised that France made the initial cut

I think this should allow bitcoin adoption to grow rapidly throughout these countries rapidly as coinbase has helped the adoption rate in the US. Bitcoin is ultimately an international currency and in order for it to be successful it will need to be adopted around the world.

This is good news, I did wonder when it would be the case that Coinbase would do something like this eventually as bitcoin does seem to be getting more popular throughout the whole world so it did seem weird that they were not allowing this already. Great to see they are allowing it now.
