RE: STEEM STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP! We are in 2ND Place now - LET'S BEAT ETH! We can do this!
Chances are even if we win, Ethereum will be added because of its history for high volume of trading.
But it will show them the power of the Steem social network to co-ordinate action. And they may add us sooner than they otherwise would have. And of course it would be fantastic publicity.
I think if we win they would have to add us (or risk looking dishonest) but I think as you suggest they may add us anyway eventually if we have a good showing. Let's just make sure we get to no. 1 though!
NAVcoin won the Coinbase Twitter poll, but wasn't added. No company lets a poll like this be binding for business decisions.
Even BoatyMcBoatface only got used as the name for a submersible instead of the boat they were planning to name.
It would be a disaster for PR if they did that.
Was it a PR disaster for Coinbase? They only asked for suggestions.
This is different. Steem is much bigger than NAV and has a blogging platform attached that shows up pretty high in Google search rankings. Further I suspect that the Coinbase poll had some T&C attached which I haven't seen for this (though I may have missed them). Also Coinbase doesn't have a great reputation in the crypto community anyway.
I don't think there needs to be T&C. BTCC never said "We will add the winner".
We will have to disagree on this.
The publicity aspect is the most important part.
