Bitcoin Forum

Not sure why there isn't an ETH speculation thread. A lot of people (on Reddit) are saying ETH price will go up in May and that now is a good time to buy ETH to diversify your crypto portfolio.

Some of the reasons that will cause the rise are: new members into EEA, ENS, Metropolis (in June).

Are those people only speculating or will really see a huge spike in ETH?

Vitalik has said, They will ready to be implement Proof of stake in the future for ethereum, and this will make FOMO for the ethereum traders. it will worth a lot in the future.

because nobody is speculating about eth, they are either filling the forum with their spam about the moon and replacing bitcoin FUD or they take some time off when there is dumping time and now is the dumping time for the most part ;)

people say all kinds of crazy things to make more money, they can be positive to hype up and pump the price or negative to spread panic and fill their short positions. and funny part is that market doesn't care about them, they only get newbie victims.

meh, i don't see how any of these can cause a rise, although they can be a good baseline for a pump.
but also remember that ETH has recently been pumped and there hasn't been any major correction yet. and in my opinion this means although there is a chance for a rise but there is even a bigger chance for a dump.

Eth has a lot of long term Dev development and a real future, my 2 cents.

Exactly, ETH has great future because even many ICO's devs are accepting ETH as on of their payment after bitcoin, even in altcoin market ETH has secured its position, sooner are later ETH price will increase definitely.

Ethereum is of course a great asset to possess, especially as the PoS transition will become closer and closer. You should have some time left though, as I believe it will happen at the end of the year.

If you do have the money to set up mining rigs for ETH mining then its really a good investment for us people who are interested on this coin.Seeing on the upcoming news ahead do really indicates ETH would really shoots up its price because its being already adopted on some firms which really means it do really have a potential and for now I'm still holding some ETH on my wallet still waiting for the right time to sell.

Because nobody really gives a fuck about ETH xD

It's an old fashion coins. Lot's of people talked about it, few understood what i really was and lots invested fortunes in it even if there was no real reason to do so.
Hence the result is a failing coin that will never really rise again whatever you wish for.

Unless you manage to find enough gullible people of course ^^

Totally agreed.  In my opinion, a few years from now ETH may have the same price as bitcoin has today.  I'm not really sure about ETH will overcome bitcoin.  Some altcoins had better return values than ETH, but the biggest opportunity in real life usage is in ETH. Worth every cent!

The price rise up to 1000 dollars for a long time

Saw an article on Google news the other day that a millionaire(think they were talking about the Winklevoss twins from Facebook) has 10% of his money invested into Bitcoin and Eth. If a guy that has made tons of money off of investments thinks that Eth is a good investment, it probably is.

yeah, I think ETH is a good investment, the marketcap may take over BTC someday.

eth is a centrally controlled, infinite coin, it cannot continue to rise the way it has, sooner or later a major crash will happen when people realize this

On the way to the moon now? Price is doubled in very short time ???

Ethereum has a future of its price and the price is going high and the price is up. And expect more tradings in short time. It has also a good investment among investors. Many investors interested someday in Ethereum it has a great and potential. I think also that some of a days it has a good value same as bitcoin but it more risk but it grew fast.

maybe u Have more info about ETH very interesting point

whot's with Blockchain BiG size ?
when mr Vitalic will plane to sell his unstoled :D  coin?

 :D

Its really hard to predict the price of Ethereum, but it looks like its been pumping a little as it seems. One thing about it is that is a good backing specially the dev so its likely that the price can still go up. If this is a bubble, then we should all be worry because we all know that it going to be burst soon. If not, then definitely it wil remained as the 2nd crypto in terms of price next to bitcoin.

Ether will be on top because its useful. The more value it will have because more people are going to use the tokens like Edgeless. If I have to speculate its price, all I can say is just it will follow btc price. Its just a matter of time too.

At this rate it might hit $1000 this year.

and after it reaches top of the pump (whatever price it will be) it will then fall down 80% or more within a year

So where is the Official ETH speculation thread???

Well all you ETH supporters get out there and shore up the price those fake walls keep backpedaling and all the gains are going down the toilet! Buy Everything you can! The price always reverts, just stop the fall right now!!!

Lolz, they really can't stop it unless those huge investors stop dumping the hell out of it!
They want it to get more down and others start selling it back for them to buy back cheaper which may be the cause why the price is going back to hell. Else, just think that a coin which did 0.14, how come it got dumped all of a sudden to 0.07? BTW, don't forget one more fact that it is still 7x its original price of 0.01, still can't be said undervalued.

Hurry up support those green candles! :)


Thats why these guys should be supporting it, otherwise the whales will just keep the prices depressed and their bags will grow far slower and eventually will crumble by the profiteers destroying their ecosystem.

Yes, but as a major shift is about to happen, the price itself is under the risk of panic for the case something goes wrong. I mean, intended hard fork already doesn't sound good to me. And a difficulty bomb for miners is too cruel and strict, I guess. I hope everything goes as planned and then the price is likely to at least be stable. Not at once, though, because think of all the miners suddenly stopping. Looks like a catastrophic situation to me.

ETH chart looks nice and bullish. It is back over $300 and should make new highs around
$500 on this leg.

Finally ethereum break 300$ band again and it is going to 500$ so near. and my guess was already 500$ for end of year.

I can not give you a certain date but i'm sure Eth will keep on going up in longterm. Ethereum is a specia coin that has so many uses. For that reason it will be more and more popular  with time.

ETH looks really bullish, I believe it's gonna boom in upcoming days.

Currently at .07305097, hoping to see it at least at 0.8 levels  8)

YUP, looks like a great time to BUY!

as you can see in the threads of Alternate cryptocurrencies.
Any coins has a value .  it wont work if everyone just focus on
1 coin.
it is good to have alternative coins other than ethereum.
But we Coin holders . we can see that Ethereum has a good potential
in future. and i'm expecting that Eth wont Disappoint us.
for now .....

I think this will definitely happen. We should invest ethereum in the long term because the market has many big partners and lots of whales and investors standing behind. It should be sure Ethereum will tend to increase in the future.

Still mining eth but its slower  now ... hope price rises more :)

Yes I think price will rise soon and hodling is my choice for ethereum. Though eth is not yet pump these days but Im seeing ethereum is good investment.

Me too just starting really... A friend told me about crypto last year and i only assembled a rig in May just before price exploded ... wish i spent that money on ETH at $10 in feb. But mining has opeded my  eyes to the whole crypto world  and are slowly learning and collecting coins now :)

I think its a good time to buy some Ethereum now. The most coins preparing for a next bullish leg up in the next couple of weeks. I think it could correct a little bit, but in longterm the price will grow up with bitcoin sooner or later :)

but there is a big fear regarding Ethereum these days. the fear that is caused by the upcoming hard fork that ETH must have otherwise it will no longer be useable because of the difficulty bomb.

and when the hard fork happens a large number of people involved with ether will go away. these were miners who have been supporting and mining it so far. they will go to the next best thing and the media will be filled with that replacing ETH for pump and dumping.

This is what I'm unsure about. Long term I think Eth will be fine and will massively increase, but short term I don't know. There could be a huge drop, but equally it could all pass with no damage to the price. Very difficult to predict the market.

Well, must be now you are realize that wasn't just a gossiped all this talks :)
Etherum really joined in my portfolio of crypto-currencies after it's rise this spring. I think that coin is going to have the future and it will be on the second or third place after Bitcoin. Currently I investing just in this coin. Many people predict to Etherum some big rise by the end of the year, so I'm just trying to be prepared.

Good reply.

If Ethereum doesn't solve scaling, then it won't massively increase.

indeed guess the price of ETH is difficult.
but for this year ETH price is quite high I think next year ETH will get price increase.
because ETH is getting popular and many are using it.

I hope so! Now Ethereum it's close to $300 maybe it goes up these days. IMO this is because it's so closely coupled with the fortunes of BTC. ETH is struggling to break the resistance level of $300. Will wait to see new ATH. It's going slow and doing well just relax.

My guess it will be 400$ end of december. and i am waiting 1000$ for 2018.

It will very easily reach 1000$ after fork, miners will be stacking eth to get more eth!! And the price will mooon!

That's one thing I don't like about the big coins.  They have become correlated.  They tend to move up and down together, like stocks.

I also believe that the diversity and high number of ETH-based ICOs are driving the demand for ETHEREUM even further.
The stability of the currency speaks for itself. It will grow slowly but it will grow. Only the future performance of the ETHEREUM network will decide whether it will be an outstanding success story. And this will be shown by 2018 at the latest.

True, it seems that the prices of ETH and LTC is dependent on the price of BTC these past few months. When there was a dump on BTC price the other two alt coins dropped value while XMR price skyrocketed. Now BTC price is moving to an upward trend hopefully ETH and LTC will follow.

This is evidence that bigger players are more involved in crypto trading, which is good and bad. One of these I dislike the most is the correlation with stocks to the indexes.

Yes, Finally ethereum broke the resistance level i hope that it doesn't go up very fast i'm waiting some money to invest. So far, it's legit investment don't worry!

$300 should be the psychological level for ether to break before start another bull action. To understand if it's broken, we need to have ether above $300 for 2 days at least. Then we can make sure about it.

You should like a professional trader on CNBC.

But a little correction was happening last night, But i just think that will not touch below 290 again and another bullish to take the price of ethereum to the moon if the more update regarding roopsten will be publishing by vitalik.

indeed ethereum has not shown bold in the price now hehe,
we wait some time again after fork ethereum

Ethereum price will takes another deep from today after south korean ban a new ico. Hopefully they did not ban exchanger as well. They said they will put additional regulation for exchange. We will see what happened in one week.

This will likely play out over the next few weeks. Expect ETH to drop during this time.

What are you guys expecting price wise in 2018 for eth?

Ethereum should now go a bit higher on Bitcoin basis. As BCH sees these prices, it's ridiculous for Ethereum to stay in the bottom. We can see another ascent soon.

Good time to buy now?
