Yesterday coinbase made it clear that it had no immediate plans to start trading Ripple.
XRP rise made it the second most valued cryptocurrency after BTC during a spell when BTC saw its market share falling below 40%.
XRP was trading for as little as $0.006 in January and ended 2017 at a price of $2.30 USD.
ETH touched $1K, now at $975 and BTC is hitting $17K again according to CMC.
Ripple doesnt need Coinbase. This is just weak hands that chicken out once drama starts. That lose out on the huge potential of gaining so much cash. Oh well, good for us rest to have these weak people shaken off.
Coinsquare and a ton of other exhanges are and will be trading XRP in the future. You are absolutely clueless if you think Coinbase would miss out on this opportunity while the other exhanges are trading huge money.
In addition once banks and credit cards go live with xrp, it will by far outweigh any Coinbase. Coinbase will be microscopic compared.
So sorry from ruining your wet dream of Ripply dying. Because it will be coin #1 this year even if you dont like it.
