Coinbase open in Europe

[kpitti]

Today I received mail from Coinbase saying:

Coinbase is now available in 23 countries across Europe
You can now:
Buy bitcoin from Coinbase or sell bitcoin to Coinbase using a euro bank account
Utilize our full suite of merchant tools

This is good move I think.

Anyone think it has anything to do with this?

In January 2015, Coinbase received a US$75 million investment, led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, the New York Stock Exchange, USAA, and several banks, "apparently the first time any traditional financial institutions have taken direct stakes in a bitcoin enterprise".

Regardless, wonderful news.

This is great news. The problem is I don't trust coinbase and I don't trust European banks, so it's not much good to me

I wish there were more/better exchanges in Europe.

Considering I have a US bank account and German bank account I wonder how much easier it will be to move dollars to euros and back using Coinbase.

If it is easy and cheaper than current bank transfers, a lot of people in my office will probably start using it.

Yes, I was exactly thinking on this as big benefit. Bitcoin will be more attractive now.

I think it will be soon as Germany is a big market in Europe.

They also treat Bitcoin as a currency. Which comes with complications.
