Why Coinbase Might Just End Up Adding Steem

in #steemit10 years ago (edited)

With the growing demand for steem and the user base growing exponentially, there is going to be a lot of strain on the Bitcoin Blockchain in the near future, and this may reveal Bitcoins achilles heel. . .

The scaling issue is one that has been a source of concern for quite some time now, and still, there is no real fix. So what happens if the Blockchain gets choked up with the influx of users trying to buy steem?

There will be demand for a USD/STEEM pairing and where there is demand, there will be people looking for ways to facilitate it.

Enter Coinbase & Co.

Companies like Coinbase might add STEEM to their platform so that people will be able to buy STEEM without having to wait for the Full Blocks to deliver their BTC, as we've seen in the past, when the blocks are full, there can be some extended delays in the system.

This is just something that occurred to me but something that could further benefit STEEM and the STEEM Platform.


We'll just have to see how things pan out . . .
