Can we get Steem listed on Coinbase?

In a blog post released on Medium by the CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, something very interesting was said in regards to their crypto asset selections...

Armstrong said that Coinbase has been adding the assets that customers have come to demand.

The exact quote:

"Our goal is to maintain the trusted experience our customers have come to expect while adding the assets our customers have come to demand. This quarter, we added more assets than in our entire prior history as a company, and expanded our services to more people in different countries."

Adding assets that their customs have come to demand?!

Hmm... now that sounds interesting.

There was a time when Coinbase seemed to be extremely cautious in terms of what assets/coins they added to their platform.

While that still largely remains true, they have been more open to adding different kinds of coins/tokens recently.

Given that quote by the CEO, one might assume that their customers are having at least somewhat of an impact on which coins they decide to add.

Does that mean that if the steem community voices their demands loud enough, Coinbase may indeed listen and list steem?!

We won't really know unless we try...

If you have an account on Medium, make sure you respond to that blog post with requests to add steem.

Also, we could contact them on twitter, facebook, as well as their support channels with requests for steem.

Heck, they even have a phone number listed... ;)

You never know, it might be what is needed to get steem listed.

Steem currently has no direct fiat on/off ramps here in the US. Getting steem listed on Coinbase would represent the first fiat on/off ramp in the US and could end up being a very big deal during the next bull phase.

Can we band together and make it happen?

Stay informed my friends.
