IOTA's idea looks great, however, I'm a bit afraid because of low adoption among big exchanges.
Don't be afraid. Adoption is coming earlier than you think
I think more exchanges for IOTA are crucial to ease the access to the token also directly via Fiat and more markets. Dominik Schiener said that several exchanges are going to add IOTA in the next time, but are just waiting for some things (update?) to be done.
IOTA is also my No.1 bet when it comes to Coinbase. It is a Top 10 crypto and who is Coinbase going to add from the big ones?
BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC are already listed, Ripple will be listed too. You guys think they are going to add Cardano or DASH?
Honestly even looking at the top 10 or 20 I see a lot of needless crap that needs to go.
XMR and IOTA are the two coins on Coinbase for 2018.
TBH, I get the feeling that many in the blockchain world are scared of iota and the politics of coinbase (see Lee's disparaging remarks after feigning interest--though he did the same for Monero at the coinbase presentation, so not necessarily a bad thing) may not see them add it this year. It would be a huge surge to price if it did happen--not sure anyone has it priced in. My counter to my own argument would be that coinbase would love to expand further into the European market and Iota would give them leverage in this regard--the Germans have always been nationalistic (and the bread winner in the Eurozone economy) and iota is their baby, so I'm on the fence. Hopeful, but wouldn't take it in a coinflip.
