... and I really don't care if you think this is a pump, because it is, so save your saliva.

Isn't it obvious there is nowhere to go but up now?

Discuss.

Congratulations on your investment, sir! Be smart and buy a few ICOs with it, because thats the real use for it, but be careful that your wallet ain't got hacked (this is not a joke). Since the value of ETH is closely connected to the value of Bitcoin you can rest assured that there is no pump.

ICOs? Nah, I'll hold the ETH. There's nothing good going on now as far as I know. Good'ol BTC is gonna moon again, ethereum is gonna mars.

Market depth between bids and asks shows high demand for ETH. It is just a matter of days, maybe weeks, to shake eth out of the remaining weak hands and scalpers and begging a steep movement up. Grab popcorn.  :-*

I also bought some ETH, had an order at 0.075 and overnight it was filled, first time I have ETH, hope it goes to the moon. :D

There is a lot of demand for ETH and it's rising. But there will be a lot more smart contract related hacks. It's far from being a bulletproof system... The parity hack has pointed this out as clearly as possible. I hold ETH but I'm not exactly happy with the state of things...

ETH is still in downtrend. You can buy now if you want but be prepared to sit in loss for a while. 0.065 btc (maybe lower) is not an unreasonable place it could drop too.

Yes I believe there still down trend will happen in ETH since there are two hacking incident happened , but I already secured some of it incase my prediction is wrong.

Noone hacks shitcoins over and over again, so that says something. Lots of ethereum wannabes launching their smart contracts not-yet-functional-after-months platforms. That says another something...

It was not ethereum network which was hacked, it was a very specific wallet. Most of it was recovered by white hat h4ck3r5 anyway.

I see there is a ton of people praying for shit news to come and they hope to buy it at 100+ dollars. Why would they want to buy something doomed for any price at all? So, stay strong. IF it falls to that range you know it is a pnd.

Slow also BTC is, just notice that BIP 91 was just a move to not let the coin tank, it was 1800 and with no bottom to be seen. BIP 91 does not solve shit just yet, yet the price bounced back 1k in 24 hours after announcement.

As for smart contracts being hacked, there is the programmer coding them, lots of stupid tokens with stupid coders being launched. Copy and paste scammers and n00bs buying into it. Who cares if one of those is hacked? It is not Vitalik or any core dev coding this shit, they can't control this.

My Favorite coin is ETH.The right decision at the right time.This time is best for buying ETH.I think ETH future is so much bright.Still now ETH is pumping.Best of luck bro...!!

I congratulate you as well mate...good investment. I am going to purchase ETH soon as well.

Can you give me the reason make you sure 100% in present is best time for buying ETH? I checked in recently ETH have many rumor about some project in platform blockchain ETH smart contract become to scammer

Well, considering that the Bitcoin split is not gonna happen, then BTC will surge up and ETH will be a little back. ETH has to gain momentum in order to rise and at this moment the momentum is with Bitcoin :/ It will a little more time for ETH to recover.

When bitcoin price will take some rest after a huge surge it have yesterday, all alts will go green and guess what will be the one with bigger green candle. Obviously it will be ETH, actually I am stacking both ETH and ETC right now. ETH to $400 again soon...

Well, the best cryptocoin to buy right now, is every and each of them. You have to have many coins in your basket, cause when the storm is coming on one of them another could "save" you.
On the other hand, tt's also true that when major cryptos (BTC, ETH) fall, then they drag others with them. That's how much they are "independent".
Currently, the best thing to do is to stick with the trend...

Yoou must be out of your ming. People prove that ethereum can never be as same as bitcoin and there are many issues inside which make ethereum weaker than bitcoin. As you can see, ethereum always get hacked while bitcoin does not. Only bitcoin trading platforms can be hacked

I once ate some bad fish and got really sick for about 3 days. The fact is I didn't go out and tell anybody about it I didn't keep it a secret but I didn't announce it to the world that I'd made some huge mistake. So why exactly are you on here telling everybody about your huge mistake?

ETHEREUM  can never come near to BITCOIN in terms of price and volume.

Aside from buy and sell walls which can manipulate people, and news which can swing it either way, it does not look yet like Eth has confirmed a direction.  There are better analysts than me who understand how to read/use buy-sell-walls.

Technical analysis shows it has slightly broken out of its downward channel, but does not have a confirmed direction yet.  If it holds and continues to rise in the direction it's going now, then yes, it has a new upswing.  But this is still very premature.  It may take another week to tell, and it needs a few higher highs and lows to confirm.  This August thing with BTC and SEGWIT and whatnot is likely a key driver in the next phase of Eth.

I, too, have some eth, fewer coins than before, and I'm waiting on a direction.  I don't mind missing 5-10% until I see something that makes sense.  Right now, it's sideways, and I can't tell what it will do.

The 1 year chart does not look yet like it's moving.
The 3 month & one month charts shows sideways movement - uncertain future
The 7 day chart is nearly flatline
The 1 day chart is showing the same starting/ending price, with slight rises an dips.

Meanwhile, other coins are moving faster and higher, reclaiming their lost territory.  To me, it makes sense to nudge monies into the movers, and then if Eth starts to move, push some back.  I don't see how buying and holding and hoping is going to make Eth move any faster. 

A year from now, I believe Eth will be easily above $500, so buy and hold would likely be just fine.  In the meantime, though, it's more than possible to double ones money in alts that are moving, and then push money into Eth and BTC as they start to move.  Doesn't even need day trading - swing trading - weekly - would probably be just fine for the alts that are on the move.  Eth does NOT appear to be on the move just yet.

Might be a different story next week as people start pulling money out of BTC since exchanges are going to freeze those assets/wallets for a day or more.

Ethereum adopters do really not care for this, trust me. We just concentrate on the parity of ethereum/btc. We don't aim to come near bitcoin. If the parity reach 0.3, that's more than enough for us.

Etherum never has been hacked bitcoin the same,but huge amount of btc was stolen in the past,Individul wallets,mt.gox poloniex,mintpal,cryptsy,now biggest eth stealing are ico's,expect more that kind of stealing

It's not likely to pass bitcoin in individual coin price, but I'm confident that it will pass in marketcap. Whether that means anything or not, who knows, but it will generate a lot of mainstream publicity.

LOL, nice try!!

Any investment can be a mistake or spot on, even with all the good/bad hints. The thing is I do think ETH is going to surge, why? Big network effect, lots of individual miners, among the best cryptos to mine, nice tech behind it, intelligent leader and researchers, etc.

About the lag in the network caused by ICOs, what I think is that this should not be a reason to get scared and sell eth. There was/is a HUGE load of transactions during ICOs, literally billions of tokens moving around, so it is expected that some beforehand unknown problems might appear. Ethereum competitors were never tested like this because they are not even fully working  :D.

I think so too, the ethereum market is also much bigger than just ETH there are so many tokens traded and the combined value of the ethereum network is already more than bitcoins.

ETH is always a good long term investment choice.

This article may helo you out: https://themerkle.com/top-4-reasons-why-ethereum-may-ultimately-fail/
Here are some reasons why we should not hold ethereum:
1. NOT AN IMMUTABLE BLOCKCHAIN
2. NO SUPPLY CAP
3. EXPLOITS AND WEAKNESSES
4. CRYPTOCURRENCY ICOS ARE A RISK

Congrats! I used to have some but traded it all for LTC. :'(

 I was really impressed with ETH and the fact the even in face of the recent hack, the price continued to go up. Crypto is a crazy thing.

if the price can not to go up then maybe the price will be down a moment  ;D

i see the ethereum wants to break the price again like before but i think ethereum will need to waiting after what is going on with bitcoin. but the sign to go up is started begin and we only need to waiting for more before the price is increase again.

Ethereum will go up, but not so easy like in past because lots of forks in front of him.
And lots of changes in bitcoin way that will shake all the crypto world.
But in long terms ethereum will be very good investment.

I kept my ethereum for transacting tokens in my account yes also i kept some ethereum in exchanges not a big amount but very small even you can check waves it is also promising platform and also lots of ICO happening on this platform.

I think you can still buy ETH and accumulate if you are into investing to a ICO that accepts it. Otherwise there no need to accumulate more as the price is constantly going down. I would rather see bitcoin price fluctuates rather than ETH because its gonna be hard for it to recover. A few months ago it reaches ATH but then suddenly drops and nowhere the price get close to it again. Maybe in long term ETH is a good investment, but I would rather stick to bitcoin now and see how it goes.

I also bought some of the eth, this coin I was repeated to buy and sell, the beginning I contacted the price of this coin is about $ 1, now has 230 dollars, in the past few years, eth quickly rose, this is So that investors are very happy, but I know the friends to make money is very small, because there is no long-term holding it, so that people are very sad, summed up the above experience, I think you bought eth, should be long held, This will make a lot of money. :)

Possibilities for long term profits is really always there but we should not really think of these things most of the time. For me i dont really prefer on holding too long on my coins better to buy and sell on short span of time and enjoy profits in a short period of time too. ETH is good but on these days specially theres an Issue about parity wallet hacked price will really be affected which buying on this point isnt ideal but well if you do really love to buy then buy on your own risk.

Hi,

Bitcoin is having trouble with 'BIP' and 'Segwit'. The second store of value in cryptos is Ethereum. So, if anything bad happens to Bitcoin, Ethereum will not suffer as much. I believe in Ethereum at least until 2025. Then I will have to know more about what will have been going the next years.

Remember, this was not a flaw in Ethereum or in smart contracts in general. Rather, it was a developer error in a particular contract.

https://medium.freecodecamp.org/a-hacker-stole-31m-of-ether-how-it-happened-and-what-it-means-for-ethereum-9e5dc29e33ce

That depends on the greedy person. I mean the flippers. because those trying to flip their money just want to get the more or double its money through shit project and used the early pump of the coin. I mean you can try to see a lot of the shit gets unreasonable pump in the past. It looks pretty bad.

Its better to buy more ethereum now because i believe the price of ethereum before end of this year 2017 will become 1000 dollars. So hurry up if you have extra bitcoins in your wallet better to buy more ethereum and for sure after few months of holding you can earn a lot of profit in the future. More ethereum that you have more money to come with you. Ethereum is very promising coin that coin is the next bitcoin if bitcoin die.

Thank you.

It is still time to get in, price is still very cheap.

Agreed. It may already be #2 in marketcap, but ETH has huge potential for further growth. Not so long ago it was $10. I know the price has fallen recently, but it's surely heading up again once the bitcoin issues are settled.

ETH has bottomed so it is a good buy at current prices. Besides, one needs to have some handy
to invest in ICOs.

So what's the big deal daily several people purchase coins so what is so special that you bought ether. Ether is currently the next best alternative after bitcoin but it is losing that status of next best daily the price is still falling daily. You made a wrong decision you should have waited for few more days to buy ether it will fall more

I am thinking to buy at least 100 etheteum on 5th Aug. Will it be a wise decision?

Ethereum coin is one of my potential coin and I think after few years of holding possible price of this coin increase around 2000-3000 dollars. And i think before end of this year 2017 possible price of this coin become 1000 dollars each and for sure it will happen and many people earn a lot of profit. More investor to come with ethereum so the price will increase again. I believe in ethereum coin.

I don’t think so buying eth or any coin after Segwit would be a wise decision. You should go for them before the execution of Segwit. Besides eth is not such a good coin to invest into when bitcoin is offering such a great ride to the moon. I will recommend you buying the bitcoins.

I instead make ETH as alternative choice in investing other than bitcoin. Because (in my opinion), ETH is very profitable even on exchange, rate is down and this a good moment for me to buy more.

ETH is going to make some people very rich.
