They are on the US and europe right now , it's nice what they do however they should think on expanding on Africa aswell , Africa now basically have nothing to do with Bitcoin which is sad we aint going mainstream without the whole world using BTC.

CoinBase, the new PayPal of bitcoin

Coinbase services are now available in 27 countries. Since the autumn of 2014, Coinbase expanded to the Netherlands, France, Finland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland and the United Kingdom.

Interesting though how the investors are pulling the strings...

“It's not where we would want to launch first, it's actually where the partners we have to work with are able to work with us first. But certainly Canada has a huge population of people that are interested in bitcoin that didn't have easy ways to buy and sell it.”

To be honest I don't care if coinbase expands here and there. With all that KYC/AML and coin tracking they are doing from time to time and blocking and closing customers' accounts I don't see any reason to use them. Indeed they are morphing themselves to a Paypal 2.0.
