I'm not a fan of centralized exchanges
Yeah, I hear you. Neither am I.
It would be huge to be on Coinbase, but I kind of doubt that's anywhere on the horizon.
You never know... If there is such high volume on HIVE from time to time and we will have the technical side sorted out, maybe Coinbase will want their share of fees too. It's not like CEXes are the center of the world anymore, no matter how big they are.
I do agree that people will come for the price action more than utility if we're on CEXes.
Those who notice HIVE on top gainers coins most likely are there to speculate or trade. Those who use CEXes as ramp on and offs might be looking for something else too.
