    Coinbase adds new assets to the pro option first, establishes a market, and then adds to the retail Coinbase "buy button" app. When a user hits the retail Buy Coin button, the inte…

    There's a lot of back and forth about the general idea of NFT's, why would visa do this, the usual HN pros and cons of crypto, etc, in this thread. To the software devs on HN that …
