Comps are a fundamental part of establishing fair valuation. Comparing Coinbase to the NYSE doesn't seem arbitrary to me. How likely do you think it is Coinbase becomes a household name like Visa, really? How many retailers process payments per day with Coinbase? How long did it take Visa to build its network? How consistent is Coinbase usership?
I don't see Coinbase having a future in payment processing. Not unless cryptocurrencies become drastically more stable and energy efficient. Even then, you're hoping for the goodwill of the government not to implement serious restriction.
