Coinbase is a pretty famous exchange/wallet provider and most of us have started our journey to crypto with it.

Getting Steem listed on coinbase would be amazing as it would open up steem and steemit to a completely new demographic(The Noobs).
One of the biggest problems that steem faces right now is that there are no fiat pairs and most people here have to first change their steem to BTC, LTC or ETH to change it to fiat.
