Final match begins.  ;D

Seems intresting will give some shot to etherum this time, but to catch bitcoin market cap it still require large amount of new dollar.;D

Classic Pump & Dump; also this is the wrong section.

No it's not. This is Bitcoin related. Far superior tech replacing your precious BTC.

Don't keep all your coins in one basket. It's good to diversify and support both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This is a discussion about another useless coin. This is not related to Bitcoin (making a price comparison != related to Bitcoin/B. Discussion).

Not really.

So you don't believe in diversified portfolios?

Good luck with that.

Nice jump by ETH but that means nothing. Ripple's marketcap was at ~$754 mil at one point but that didn't last too long:

Well, that really does not mean anything! it's so easy to manipulate altcoins values! If btc prices are already subjected to pump & dumps, with a huge market cap (comparing to alts), imagine the power of a big mining farm or MMN sort-of-thing to manipulate alts...

You spelled speculation wrong.

It's not about superior tech it's people investing believing Ethereum will be widely used in the future.

I believe you when this situation lasted for a couple of months at least.
ETH is a new altcoin with a hot entrance and a lot of advertising, so it is normal that it is being pumped.
only if in there were not a massive dump on the way.

Interesting, that's a sweet bump in price there for Ethereum, but still a very long way to go before it catches the Bitcoins price. I was reading about Ethereum but it involved having to download a lot of tools to get started.

Can't see through that screenshot why ETH is coming for Bitcoin. Either way, I respect the "eggs in many baskets" philosophy but this thread is on the wrong section and should be moved.

There is an ongoing ETH pump since last week (after some news about a banking consortium what want to test it). Even if ETH can hold this position it's still pretty far behind bitcoin in both recognition and price. Maybe in a few years it can challenge bitcoin but certainly not now.

Ofcourse this is a pump and dump. They don't even have a functional user friendly wallet yet.

Ethereum is promising, that I give you, but this one smells like pump all around. Wonder how high it goes before it comes crashing down.

Maybe ill pick up a few ether after the crash.

EDIT: There are some serious pumping bots going at it. Walls placed and retracted, as well as constant volume creation.

Too fast and too bulish, classic pump. It s gonna dump hard within a week.

I am looking on ethereum and would like to accommodate this coin they seems to hold a lot of promise among the crypto currency Also been building my mining rig if ethereum proved to be one of the most promising coin in the market I'll definitely go for it

no altcoin will ever dream to reach 0.03-0.05, wake me when this will happen, ah this not for few day or week, but as a permanent new value

i believe ethereum can stabilize around the usual 0.01-0.02 like litecoin was, no more...also the marketcap is 1/30 of that of bitcoin

Naaah, I will still use bitcoin for now. Ethereum is too new to be stable.

When Ethereum become stable then I'll consider switching.

So these guys are the people spamming the Reddit accounts in a desperate race to compete with Bitcoin? ETH has a long way to go to be in the same

room with Bitcoin. At least we do not have to team up with banks {the official competition for Crypto currencies} to get to the top. I know many

women who did the same {slept their way to the top} and lost all respect from the people they worked with. We are the legacy we left behind.   

Ripple was pumped up to near the top, then bitshares was pumped up to near the top, now ethereum is being pumped up to near the top. I have no respect for anything that can't hold its place anymore. If an altcoin could stay consistently at second place for a few years, then I would have some respect for it. Bitcoin is the only coin that has proved its value by staying at the top for years, and if Bitcoin starts crashing all the altcoins will crash faster and further.

I don't know what all the marketcap speculation stuff means to everyone else.  But, I do know that the R3CEV blockchain group invested more for just the research into their project then the combined  612 Currencies / 53 Assets / 1580 Markets listed on http://coinmarketcap.com.  The combined marketcap of all those listed is a mere $6,760,347,069 which is small compared to R3CEV's $9,000,000,000 investment into their version of a blockchain ledger.....That is frightening to me!  R3CEV is the group to watch out for!....AND, they may be negotiating with some of the above mentioned technologies!  

Are you guys for real? Why does everyone assume that you have to be one or the other? What's wrong with having a boot in both camps, Ethereum and Bitcoin? In other words, a bet with and against the banksters. For my understanding Ethereum is not seen or meant as a challenger to Bitcoin. Ethereum is spoken of as the 'Oil' to Bitcoins 'Gold'.

Whats wrong with competition? Did you know necessity is the mother of invention? Bitcoin has not really evolved since the beginning very little development has gone into it, because there was no necessity.

BUT times has changed, because now there is something far superior in every way than Bitcoin.

I never implied there was anything wrong with competition. You're preaching to the choir replying to me. I'm long on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I might have bought some ethereum if it wasnt for the constant spam messages i keep getting on reddit. Obviously just paying people to spread this spam and then pump and dump this coin. bitcoin is still no1.

Seriously???? Come on, there is no way that you can possibly think that is going to happen.

I'll just drop this here (from 2014):

and this:

this post pretty much shows why you should never believe the altcoin hype. good post this is what people should remember look at that dogecoin its insane. total madness

You might make a few bucks out of Ethereum, but I can tell you right now it's going to get dumped within a week.

sometime in future ALTs will be worth ... X2 X4 X16 ... btc

the other question is how much will btc be rated over central banks :)

it is an LLP ... not a rat race :)

The thing to think about is a coin that sits betewen BTC and the other trash alts say around 800mill or 1 billion dollars worth of cap is needed
just like gold has silver etc.   

If ethereum continues to show promise , it could fill this void that both dodgecoin and lightcoin tried to fill, me for now i'm buying eth and mining it as well and buying BTC as usuall on the dips.

If I'm not mistaken, this was a bug from the website back then. But it does prove a point :D

Ethereum is broken and can't be fixed:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1339648.msg13668336#msg13668336

Considering they have doge priced at $400 per coin I'd say so.

Come on op we're near the top of a nice pump not on the verge of greatness and takeover from that crap.

It is there as a whales play thing, nothing else for a very long time.

Diversified within cryptocurrency?  Nah, it's bitcoin or bust.  Anything else is just stupid gambling.

Diversified with other investments with bitcoin being a part of that?  Yes, but I think only a small part of one's portfolio should be allocated to btc.  And OP I don't get exactly what you're trying to say with your picture here.  Why don't you spit it out and actually write some words down to describe what you're thinking.
