that is incentive enough not to keep coins in coinbase, especially if you don't get access to free airdropped coins. Does not apply to upcoming bitcoin fork, but loosing out on bitcoin gold fork last week and bitcoin bash earlier is unfortunate

now there is more incentive because of staking
Unless Im misunderstanding what was said here, I think there is incentive in keeping your coins on Coinbase system (unless they get hacked and you lose everything but hey, thats why they pay CISO guy big bucks!! :) )
From staking that you can get now for coins like Tezos and I think others as well, also for when coin forks like BCH did, so you get bunch of BSV coins for doing nothing just for holding BCH coins.
I think staking is going to change the game for crypto. People are now incentivized to hold coins and get rewarded just by having a crypto balance. I think of it like a dividend ... its actually better because you get a deposit every few days instead of once a month at best for a stock.
But I think investors will see value here. Right now, holding BTC/LTC is speculative but you don't gain anything holding these assets. With XTZ and hopefully with ETH you will gain just by having, and re-investing with a DRIP campaign is a means of slowly growing crypto wealth.
I find it intriguing
Good points @Joey Bayas
