Title: Speculating Coinbase's Lunar announcement for tomorrow Post by: coinableS on January 25, 2015, 05:01:38 PM I want to hear what you think might be tomorrow's announcement.
https://www.coinbase.com/lunar Some random guesses: - A new regulated USD/BTC exchange hosted by Coinbase? Currently they aren't really an exchange but a broker. - Partnership with a mutual fund company like Fidelity or Vanguard allowing people to invest in BTC with their 401k. EDIT: Speculation from Chairforce1: BTC ETF launch with Nasdaq or NYSE. The Winklevoss twinz are giving a speech tomorrow.

But they don't have a history of hyping hot air, unlike blockchain.info's habit of insinuating wonders that end up being very exciting for them and no one else. It seems a bit tongue in cheek to be something truly enormous.

I'm wondering why would they would present it like this instead of an update on their blog or a tweet? Seems really strange... makes me want to buy a coin or two today, but I'm resisting the urge as most hypes I've seen previously end up being let downs.

Didn't the NYSE invest in Coinbase recently? There must be a connection.

edit: LOL I just got rick roll'd by them: <!-- The big reveal. Show at launch time. --> <a href="/lunar/feature" style="display:none;">to the moon</a> Leads to --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BROWqjuTM0g Title: Re: Speculating Coinbase's Lunar announcement for tomorrow Post by: damiano on January 25, 2015, 06:12:19 PM Whatever it's definately bigger and more important than a simple blog update since they dedicated a page to it from the main site.

And I also think they know that it's not healthy to over-promise and under-deliver. I don't think they'll go and pull a 'Blockchain.info' By hyping up a change of their background color or something similar...

With the NYSE investing in Coinbase and Coinbase flying around in spaceships I have theories. George Kikvadze also mentioned on Twitter a BTC ETF launching on Nadaq...https://twitter.com/BitfuryGeorge/status/558097302678962176. I have to credit the user lyth0s on another forum for leading me to this information.

I have to credit the user lyth0s on another forum for leading me to this information. So maybe a new ETF launched by Coinbase in cooperation with people active on Wall Street? Could be something like Second Market. They may be interested in offering an investment vehicle for professional traders and registered investors. Title: Re: Speculating Coinbase's Lunar announcement for tomorrow Post by: chairforce1 on January 25, 2015, 06:18:13 PM There is also this: https://blog.gemini.com/welcome-to-gemini/
Maybe that is connected as well. EDIT: The announcement is happening at 9:00 AM EST , half an hour before exchanges open. Maybe that has something to do with it too.

Even Barry Silbert tweeted about this, so maybe there is a connection with Second Market?? https://i.imgur.com/xMh7ujT.png?1 Title: Re: Speculating Coinbase's Lunar announcement for tomorrow Post by: BTCtrader71 on January 25, 2015, 07:18:31 PM I kinda feel it ought to have something actually to do with the moon or space.
