Hater? I was the third reply to this thread stating I've bought a couple thousand.
I simply asked why you are convinced about this. I have not seen any official statements in support of the fact it's being added and, on the contrary, I have actually seen a lot of evidence against it.
While recognizing the potential to make money on this trade (As I already have) I am not under any impressions that Ripple is a particularly good currency. I mean, I can see the controlling aspect of it being appealing to Amazon, but I do not like that personally one bit.

Ludacris.
Don't get me wrong, I hate when @Sherb throws around the word "Bubble" but does Ripple's price increase feel deserved to you, or is it all because of threads like this and unfounded hype?
Coinbase caters to a very "noob-ish" audience who throw in some change to dabble with. The last thing Coinbase wants is for Ripple to collapse and its users to lose a LOT of money. They are somewhat an authority (Using the term loosely) in the fact that they are very selective about the coins that they add & they're not adding every single pump and dump there is.
Before, your point was they will add Ripple because they want to make more money. If this was the case, they would add every coin they can. But they haven't. Because of the reason stated above.
Sometimes, too much of an increase is actually a bad thing.

Anyway, I went back through the thread, like you said to try and find this conclusive evidence that Ripple will be added to Coinbase...
No, Amazon is not a scam, but it is highly regulated & hype / P&D is not possible at such a large scale, unlike with Crypto.
Besides centralization, why would Ripple be picked over RaiBlocks or another DAG coin for banking?
Ripple simply can't keep up with the TPS & there would be no real reason why banks would slow down their service just to accept Ripple.
I work at a safety-critical software company & I can tell you now, the process for changing almost any supporting system is almost always far more work than it is worth. Changing 1 thing means you have to change another xx. This takes years & devs have to be 100% sure the tech is reliable and more importantly 100% covered.
You mentioned that you think it will hit $5 in Feb, and MAYBE $10 in 2019. If the hype is about the partnerships, why isn't it happening closer to them being realistic?
IMO this whole thing was fuelled from "We will partner with 2 household names." Means nothing to me. What's a household name? Are they going to partner up with Hoover & start selling Vaccum cleaners, or Amazon and shoot up in price, even more? It's 100% in his interest to be purposflly vague. I mean, shit, look at how much he is worth now.
Well something is REALLY strange right now, because here I am agreeing with you as well.
