My prediction is that Coinbase’s 12th day of Christmas

[Mcripple]

will be adding XRP

Im not saying that it’s going to cause a significant price increase - I hold Zcash and it only affected the price for like 30 minutes 

the Coinbase bounce isn’t what it was a year ago

Still - screencap my prediction and taunt me when I’m wrong ;-)

I think they will probably list XLM on that date. They could list both XLM and XRP, but they seem to be steering the sinking ship in the opposite direction of land for some strange reason.

My prediction is that they will de-list BTC

I believe OP may be right

12th is probably something like: Coinbase adds new theme for users. You can now change the color of our trading platform to slightly less blue.

On the 12th day of Christmas, Coinbase gave to me, a tokenised Christmas tree.

On day 12 the Quadruple Witching.

Quadruple witching refers to the third Friday of every March, June, September and December. On these days, market index futures, market index options, stock options and stock futures expire, usually resulting in increased volatility.

LOL, that sounds like Coinbase really got inspired by Steve Jobs ...

This event sounds more interesting than all of those Coinbase events together ...

reason most probably: big bags of bitcoin and / or perhaps contractual agreement with big holders of big bags with bitcoin (such as Grayscale / Barry Silbert)

Only a matter of time. They all share mutual interests for it to be listed on Coinbase. 

"

Another investor in Ripple is Digital Currency Group. The group has a stake in Coinbase and many other crypto-related services.

Speaking of Coinbase, let’s take a look at Ripple’s partnership with the Viamericas Corporation. Its co-founder and CEO, Paul Dwyer is a board chairman of the Money Services Business Association (MSBA). The MSBA works directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

If SEC declares that XRP is a security, then it will be taxed for capital gains every time it is bought and sold. Such an outcome would diminish XRP’s value proposition.

If SEC states that XRP is not a security many doors will open and one of them will lead to a listing on Coinbase."

Digital Currency Group is up to their eyeballs invested in BTC, and has a fund with just a few million in XRP.

Here's Barry Silbert stating stating that DCG had invested money in only five cryptocurrencies, and that he thought the others would "go to zero." Here is the list with their current portfolio. Note that XRP is glaringly missing there.

This is the reason Coindesk (which I consider DCG's advertising agency) has been continuously reporting negatively about XRP.

And please stop with "if SEC declares XRP a security". That is a complete non-scenario. The reason we've been talking about this non-scenario all year is because of FUD, injected into the media by Bitcoin whales, Silbert being one of them.

Coinbase not listing XRP has nothing to do with security status, but with powerplay. I assume they'll capitulate and list it this month though.
