Hmm... so does this mean coinbase users will be able to send / receive erc20 from their wallets? We are about to launch an actual tropical Island with an erc20 token and this would be good news.

Don't forget to add a music festival... And a theme park for good measure.

Hopefully they'll get to alternative tech such as DAGs like the block lattice of Nano or Tangle of Iota. Nano in particular could use a fiat ramp as the first and only crypto to be instant and feeless. Nano could be the one that takes cryptos mainstream - which is Coinbase's mission statement as well

Nano, the perpetuum mobile of the Crypto world.

This will be for the upcoming flood of SEC registered security tokens, not the existing ICO tokens which the SEC frowns upon

Flood? I'm not that convinced rhat there will be a lot of entrepreneurs willing to go through the sec process for their token.

You're thinking too small. Think smaller and larger cap stocks deciding to go public through a token instead of through an IPO (where they generally lose 5 to 10% of their capital raised to an underwriter, and as was seen with the Dropbox IPO, was priced way too low)

This probably makes sense. I've wondered looking at coinmarketcap.com which tokens every could possibly be adding. The top by market cap are: EOS (a placeholder until they're mainnet goes live), TRX, and USDT. None of which seem like good candidates for coinbase or even gdax listing

The entire thing is a theme park. Took a trip out there 2 months ago and it was by far the biggest adventure of my life.

Right now it's shaping up to have a cooperatively run intimate festival once a year, where we will build infrastructure that will stay year after year.

Though someone did suggest a zip line from the mountain to the ocean...

I'm really humbled that this land has been made available for this project and I'd like to use it in service of adventure, healing, inspiration and community.

No, it doesn't look like all ERC20 tokens will be supported by default. This is paving the way for trading pairs and wallets for ERC20 tokens, which will be followed by Coinbase selecting specific ERC20 tokens to be added to its list of digital assets that it allows users to trade and hold with their Coinbase account.

Understood, thank you.

“We are about to launch an actual tropical Island with an erc20 token and this would be good news.” Super interesting comment. How can I learn more about your project?Are you doing this as a reg D offering? (With Securitize or polymath?) Definitely one of the most interesting thing I have heard in a while :-) therefore curious to learn more... (I have been thinking of a similar project, but didn’t move beyond researc…

I just replied to your email. Would love to hear your ideas and invite you to join our community.

Very few of the current altcoins excite me. But I like Bitcoin and Ethereum (Ethereum partially for the reason mentioned above). The tokenisation of assets could be an interesting development.
