The reason people don't do this is, that kind of order requires having an opinion about what a stock should be priced at. And retail traders basically never have that opinion.
Coinbase has been using Morgan Stanley's Shareworks platform to manage the direct listing, which has been a nightmare to use. ACH transfers take over a week and the platform has a ton of technical issues.
Even the word "title" would detonate the average person.
There was a time when would have loved to buy Coinbase stock. Just a few years ago, they were by far the easiest was to buy crypto (IMO). At that time they also felt like the most legitimate site and for people who didn't 100% know what they were doing, but wanted to buy some Bitcoin, that perception of legitimacy is important.

I am not being obtuse or sarcastic here. Is it this? http://apexcrypto.com Because that website tells me nothing at all. And past that, Google only shows a few press releases.

But on the consumer crypto coin collector criteria, it still seems like Coinbase has the mind-share. And I imagine they have the reach and scale to be in compliance with regulators, which is what makes them a more attractive investment.
Me? Square’s Cash app is awfully slick, and makes buying drugs…I mean…buying non-fiat currency to stick it to the man all very easy. But I have no idea if people use that feature frequently.

Looks like they made 4.57B$ in revenue with 97M$ in profit [1]. And "We’ve continued to see strong adoption, with 3 million customers [buying bitcoin] through the past year, and in January we saw 1 million new to bitcoin in just one month."

> is this April fools? No. Why would it be? Coinbase has been preparing to go public for some time now.
