Bitcoin Forum

I have a couple of ETHs stored for a while and seeing as how the price is falling, it really disappoint me and I've been thinking for days already that maybe it's time to sell ETH, but then again price keeps dropping so I'm having second thoughts because I'll be selling it for a lower price compared to when I get it. How long do you guys think this will keep going? How low will eth go?

I think it will rise again after the btc fork. Although I'm spending half of my eth coins to tokens on Etherdelta and the other half in storage. It cannot go in a really deep dive. I guess. And I hope

ETH is diving, because people are more interested to buy BTC and also because of the next fork. If BTC succeed to attain 7000 USD, and ETH is still at 300 USD, ETH maybe will be 0.035 satochis...
But if BTC fall after, ETH may regain some value compare to BTC. But i don't think ETH will be able to attain 0.1 or 0.9 BTC (the value before Bitcoin Cash).
BTC is too strong and too popular compare to ETH. Each fork of BTC help it to get more value. That's what i found.
I have also lost money compare to Bitcoin. We think that because Bitcoin is so valuable, it can't grow stronger than ETH. But we were wrong.

I wouldn't recommend you to sell ETH right now. It is true that the price hasn't been able to recover since the last peak back in September when it reached almost 390$, but we're around the 300$ so i wouldn't say the situation is that bad. Actually, last month wasn't so bad, started around 301$ and closed yesterday at 308$. Yes, there is dip in the price today but almost every altcoin is taking a hit from the Bitcoin new ATH.

How long will eth go? ETH was @212$ in September so there's that, but no one can know for sure. I would suggest that you keep those ETHs for the time being.

ETH will be a long term hold, so if you bought it to hold it then HODL it! If you are trying to make a sort term profit then eth might not be the best way to go. It is not artificial and so the price will not be increasing due to pumps for awhile. For ethereum to rise, more ICO's are going to need to succeed which we wont see for a few years 

It's not falling dude. It's fluctuating around $300 and it's not going even dip. So this is good to know that people are holding it around $300 and it won't go down easily with the current conditions. 

It is good to see ETH holding near $300 price level. It will be worrisome if breaks below last low
of  $280. Hopefully the next rally will start after Bitcoin fork is out of the way later this month.

stop beeing a drama queen... a 4% drop is not a fall! the rest of people is really suffering big loses with their altcoins..
ETH is a safe bet for the longterm.. it will rise, slower or faster.. but it will surpass its ATH.
Unless you need cash now, dont ever think of selling them. If i were you i will think about investing in the cheap altcoins that are on sale right now.. special  novermber's hardfork offer

I know what you are saying bud... It sadnes me to see ETH not rising in same manner as BTC but I agree with folks here... It will in time. Just sitt tight and forget about it.

For bitcoin prices  its too  high., ethereum investors have not been indifferent. they probably did the sales themselves. not just etereum, but a lot of altcoinshave tensed over time, and now it's probably going to fall.  it's a project with the future of ethereum and probably a few months later we're going to do it on ethereum this time.

Ether is necessary to trade ERC-20 tokens so as more of these are traded there will be more demand for ether. This should maintain,if not increase,the value.

Ethereum's time will come soon! Just be patient.

If you have ethereum do not sell it. Its price will grow becasue this coin is for long term, maybe now going down but do not worry and wait

How long will eth go? It will go as long as eth stays relevant in the industry. This seems to be for the foreseeable future I would say you have no worries about whether eth will be around and relevant.

Don't worry, ethereum is a very trusted and known coin, so it is very unlikely for its price to go down and not recover and even overcome its highest price. It is even more so as there is a strict dev plan made by Vitalik. Ethereum will go up, it is just that people sell it and the price goes down and due to that it becomes too unprofitable to mine this coin (due to Byzantium fork) and then the price goes down even more. I think it will need some time for new miners to get into business and then everything will be just fine. If it won't and you are holding eth really long-term - everything will be great after the switch to pos in a coule of years anyway, so maybe it is worth waiting.

I'm actually waiting for another dip to add some ETH. I missed the one during the China/Dimon FUD, waiting for the fund transfer from bank to exchange.

Ethereum will rise for sure. Today's news: Amazon Technologies (amazon's subsidiary) registered new domain: amazonethereum.com
This might be a good sign

lol..wow... i wonder what that is all about. sounds like some serious stuff is about to happen.
perhaps i should value my eth more than i thought

They've bought other domains related to crypto in the past, so it is probably nothing. But, it may be a decent time to accumulate some just in case.

Me too! I wish I could have bought at that time for about 200 bucks but as of now I'm even with my overall buy price. I've put my ethers in the cold storage for now and will look at them only after the BTC fork.

In my opinion as some people say before now is small period when Bitcoin so strongly dominates but this not gonna be always. I think now nit good time to sell yours ETH

I think it's a very wrong time to sell Ethereum, Bitcoin got a lot of power. this power will be lost in the future, you should wait that day

Just HODL ETH for some months or years.
!!
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think Ethereum's fall will soon end. And the price will climb upwards quickly. Ethereum's users and Ethereum deserve this, but I think the investor's head is mixed.

After fork will start to grow again, there are many other coins that have the same problem but just in case i am not worried about getting it back to good value.

Just hold on to your ETH, after this whole Bitcoin madness, it will return to normal again.
So many alts have been greatly affected.

Hoping for some really good airdrops to compensate for the falling or stagnant price.
Which I did 50/50 BTC ETH holdings. However! I truly believe in the ETH proeject.

People are rushing into the bitcoin and they are all try to betting into the next hardfork and another good news about the bitcoin already added in the future list trade of big company in the wallstreet yesterday. It seems become a big boost.

Ethereum price is good as of now because its 290 dollars . And For sure it will increase again after few weeks. So be ready for that.
Be patience and for sure you will be happy to the result because you earn profit in the future.

Keep holding Ethereum. You will not regret.

The same thing happened last year. Until January, problems in the market will continue. But then the price of Ethereum will rise rapidly.

That's the same thing I thought. It's surprisingly holding strong

Compared to the price of bitcoin, the ether price drop is evident, but in reality its price has remained fairly stable in recent months in terms of dollars. I believe that this is just the calm that precedes the storm and in a short time we will see ether recover his bullish career. I, on the other hand, am starting to accumulate more ETH than bitcoin because I see a greater potential for growth in the ethereum platform.

I notice this also ethereum is dropping the price. I also have eth and I dont want to sell it, I'd rather hold eth than selling it now. I can see eth will recover the price and I can earn good profit of it.

Ethereum has been rather stable these past several weeks in terms of its price. There are no huge rise and fall along the charts for Ethereum. This is a good sign of stability but those who are holding ETH will probably not be happy with this situation. I guess you need to shift to a long term holding or if you want short term then you might want to consider some other altcoins.

I believe so. And to think this is great time to buy some and add to your portfolio and it seems there are some weak hands dumping their eth now without knowing that they can actually miss the ride of it. So take the chance right now, grab some and expect profit afterwards.

etherium is very popular to us, we use eth everyday for trading and transactions, despite it is dropping now, you should hold your eth and wait until it rise again, you may earn some profit in the future.

i do have an eth in my wallet,
and i will hold it, for now, all alt are down,
but when the time is come, ethereum price will be back on track soon

Selling ethereum below the price you buy is a wrong decision and the stage we are now is still at early one and ethereum is still going up and before end of 2018 ethereum may be above $1000 so there is no need for panicking. I also hold some of the ethereum token and most of them are in red for some days now and I don't give a panic or discouragement, were price will  be in days to come. Ethereum is not a coin that will remain bearish for long and we all know that very soon fund will start to flow back to ethereum market.

4-5 months ago 10 ETH equals 1 BTC. Now 24 ETH = 1 BTC. The ones in Altcoins are very bad.

don't worry, buddy.
ETH will soon raise again and recover its positions
maybe even surpass them ::)

Its normal its not going down pretty bad. People moved their money to bitcoin for segwit2x probably. And ethereum as long as it is above $250 i still think its good. But if ethereum goes to sub $100 i will buy more. Crypto will going crazy..no one can stop it..

Money is flowing out of altcoins right now to catch the bitcoin fish.

IT's really that simple and no surprise at all. ETH has retraced back to 0.04 BTC per ETH which is quite surprising to see because around 3 months ago people were still so hyped up about ETH and saying that it can take over bitcoin's spot.

That is not going to happen, though i can see the price rebounding as soon as bitcoin stops rising.

Obvious that money is flowing into bitcoin, $7000 as of now https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/bitcoin/usd
This is unprecedented... but when bitcoin holders are rich money will flow back to alts, its a cycle of bitcoin and alts

Guys are basically running to BTC because of the expected free money. AM holding on to ETH. Its going catch up soon. After BTC Fork

Will hold my ETH too. All these forks are not good. To much money movement as always

Dude I have my eth since it was 0.08 btc and now it's down to 0.04 so it's not a 4% drop. As uch as I like seeing the btc price going up,I've lost too much on ETH. Anyway, I'll hold it since the next fork is only a few days more. Maybe a good movement on price will happen by then.

I wouldn't sell at a 50 percent loss. BTC is stealing the show right now due to the fork and some of the recent news but ETH is still an amazing project with a great team and will certainly have it's time to shine.

I'm waiting for POS, I have a feeling it'll go up then.

please be patient guys, bitcoin is on top of fame. I think it will be until the end of the year. and after the new year all will be back to normal. not only eth, but all altcoin is being burned. because bitcoin fork and segwit. wait until bitcoin finish segwit. and everything will be normal.

the same mistakes happen to thousands of investors while putting hopes on coins other than bitcoin.
is not that common and maybe we just need time to make friends with our own mistakes.

POS won't happen tomorrow, it is not a quick transition, I have been waiting for this to happen soon but the price has been very resistant to the Bitcoin movement, what is affecting the price will be those ICOs liquidating their eTHEREUM portfolio

Just wait and see until POS is activated. ETH I believe has more upside potential.
Will buy more if it still goes down below 250.

i don't think so because in all altcoin etherum is the best coin in all of them and also etherum is number second high rated coins in the history of coins.
the users of etherum is increasing and mostly people are investing in etherum for their future because etherum is still very cheap.

This will probably last the next couple of weeks until Bitcoin has forked. But don't worry, this are only short-term gains that are being made. You have to look at the bigger picture and think of how the market and price will develop not in the next weeks, but in the next years and decades. Is BTC best positioned to keep the number one spot out of all the competitors on the horizon? Maybe yes, maybe no, but it's up to you to decide. If you think ETH is superior to BTC, and you're right, then the price will correct at some point and the value will reflect it (price appreciation). After the fork we'll be seeing again money moving back to ETH, that's a common pattern whenever there is a fork, so it's expected. Don't worry about losing your money. Think about how much you'll gain in the future.

Don't sell for a loss. Ethereum and zcash are one of the two coins that almost always have a stable price range. Whatever happens, they usually get back to that range.

It's just the hype of bitcoin's price going up every single day by no less than $300. People are selling all their altcoins to take part and benefit from this huge pump hoping that they'll catch the train they missed.

If it was a useless coin that will die, I could've told you to sell. But it's ether. It will go up eventually. Even more than what it used to be. Just wait until this btc nasa rockets prices stop, and slowly altcoins will go up.

Eth rise like a sun. Promise altcoins goin up dont loose hope

as long as btc is raising, most of the others fall. Market is not big enough to support so many altcoins. Need more time to build up the ecosystem for ETH. Also the news from SEC regulation affects the price drop of eth as well.

anybody knows where is the current floor / upport for ETH ?

I don't think you should sell ethereums now, I think the value of Ethereum will see 400$ more again
Everything will be alright,dude

When was the last time Ether hit an all time high? It was a year ago when it was $399

Ether has issues and is a well know scam coin with Vitalyk. Also lots of scam coins like FLiK use ERC20 tokens. Well known, I would try to sell your ether asap for whatever they are worth now. I dont even follow ether anymore, is it even worth $100 per coin now? I have'nt a clue because its a scam coin.

I do have some ETH holding on to me but I am not really desperate to sell them because of falling prices. I will watch closely how this fork will occur and then see ETH rebound. Many did mentioned now is the right time to buy ETH. Let's see.

I'm holding some eth too. I'm not fucking sell my ethereum. Eth will always rebound everytime. This is the right time but not the best time yesterday might become the best time to buy on the dip

Don't sell your Ethereum because the price right now is going down. So should know that the price going down is due to the fact that most traders are shifting to bitcoins. However, bitcoin price pump will not last up to the end of the month. Altcoins traders will moved back because the action is really on the bitcoin market now. You need to have a lot of patience and just hold on your altcoins. It will recover sooner than you expected and you don't want to regret your decisions of selling it today and next month you see the price goes higher than expected. Just continue to hold for now.

Bitcoin is going to rise until the hardfork occur. So be prepared that compare to BTC, ETH and other altcoins are going to fall. Just BCH is strong enough. And Dogecoin is not bad too. Dogecoin is the most stable coin i think.

I plan to obtain some more ethereum and seeing it keep dropping everyday kill my desire. Maybe we guys all are wrong, and its just overpriced/overbought so much? Ether is very good altcoin btw but its not good investment for mid term sure.

Since I started investing in crypto, Ethereum I have  always known to give long term profits unlike BTC, now with the BTC fork it's looking like ETH and all other alts are shit! But then it's ephemeral. ETH would rise, it's just patience.

Obviously it's a buying opportunity. Buy some more ETH, next year it will be ETH year.
If you don't have at least 100 ETH you shouldn't even be here. Every crypto investor need to have some ETH.

The way you are expressing it is not right, who told that ETH holder should have 100 ETH, everyone has their own limit and it is not compulsory that everyone should have ETH. I dont belive the ETH developer as he is not a right person to be belived, in his last statement he itself has declared that he is not investing in ETH rather he will convert all coins to fiat currency and invest in real estate or gold. So how do you think that others should invest in ETH. When bitcoin raised even ETH price is also got crashed so it is better to invest in BTC which is much more secure investment.

I understand this kind of worries, but just try to stay cool and don't do panic sells. Believe that, there are many other people who are asking the same questions, and if you ask me, it is better to hold the ethereum. Ethereum is not a weak coin, and I think that it will recover soon.

Do not worry ! Surely ethereum will be over than 1000 usd the next year . All tokens are hosted on ethereum blockchain and it will give a big pump to ethereum in near future !
Stay tuned

ETH now recovering. The current hype around bitcoin (forks) have reduced the value but still seeing a good upside for ETH value to somewhat improve before the end of the year.
Next year should be a good year for cryptos. (Further acceptance in the mainstream economies of countries)

the effect of bitcoin price increase is very influential for altcoin.
Altcoin prices decreased a lot, ETH also declined.
I think ETH can still rise again for the end of this year maybe the price will rise again.

Hold your ethereum probably ethereum will goes high after the bitcoin fork. Patience is the key in this world..

If it is really only couple of coins then don’t worry about it at all. Do something else. If you like crypto but haven’t enough experience here, just invest in different well-known currencies. You will be confident about your final result. In a such way you will get more practice.

ETH is just taking a nap for now, the price will definitely skyrocket next year.

The way the amount of ETH in circulation increases, very soon all the ETH believers will have 100+. It's really more inflationary than USD.

I agree. It's a long term coin and it's not like those other altcoins that always rely on btc. It has it's own and it will have his time and probably and all time high next year. Just hold on, forks are coming to an end and eth will go back to where it was.

No, you shouldn't sell that tbh

It is going down because of the Hype on BTC.

Once The Hype slow down and price correction came, you would be glad that you didn't sell off ETH. There's so much upcoming ETH news which will drive ETH price up

ETH is a well known scam coin.Its not doing well because %99 of the scam projects use Ether / ERC20 coins.

ERC20 is a well known scam platform, you cant even mine those coins.

Mining is %99 what makes the coin work. Depending on another coin/ Ether doesnt make sense.

Ethereum is a well known Ponzi scheme. I would sell asap.

If I were in your place, I would continue holding my Ethereum. Do not sell it because, in the first place, you are already losing. It is not good to have losses instead of gains. Do not be impatient. You still have much time to see your Ethereum go up and fly. Trust the project because ETH is not a shitcoin nor is it a crap coin. It is a good coin for investment. We are more than $300 right now. That is a good news already.

hell no, etherium is not a scam coin. yet most ico's are using erc20 which is under etheriums platform but that doesnt mean all of them are purely scam.

as i said earlier not all of them are scam and some of them are also mineable.


no its not. the demand and supply is the real factor why coins work. coins  need people to support it in order to make it valuable and worth it.

lol,  if thats what you believe then youd better sell your etherium now. no one wll stop you.

i think its still worth the hold, this is only year 1

ethereum has more supporters than bitcoin and much about their ERC-20 based tokens where it is widely used by most ICOs today, in my own vision 2018 is the great year of ehtereum, no need to fear if  the ethereum price is falling today it will regain back anf it will hit 500 usd in the 1st quarter of 2018, so just hold your ethereum and sell only minimal amount.

i think bitcoin has more supporters compared to etherium because most of the people are using and investing on bitcoins and etherium will be the second. though i believed also that 2018 will be a good year for etherium and all the altcoins to start a new journey after this hardfork tragedy thats still happening to altcoins. and yes theres no need to fear or panic if their prices are falling because it is normal for the altcoins to decrease for a longer time.

At least to the fork i don´t see any alts recovering. Anyway truly cryptocurrencies like BTC, XMR, LTC, ZEC or "platform" tokens such as ETH, XBY or KMD will definitely have a future despite any hard falls they can have. For a lot of worthless tokens issued in ico´s i´m not so sure. So i think you are fine holding to eth, even if it seems your are loosing some BTC rally.

having a future is one thing and being able to keep the price up which is pure speculation related is another.

these coins are offering something interesting with the smart contracts and things like that but most of them have fundamentalist issues that will keep them from rising that big in the long run. for example ethereum has a large supply an no limit to it. and if other altcoins are any indications the large supply coins are always going down the hill.

I think you are absolutely right. But apart from the scarcity the same would apply to BTC. You saw a rise this year alone from 1k to 7k without any considerable new markets emerging (by markets i mean real use cases as a currency). This rise have been on speculation alone and the believe in store of value IMO. But that doenst mean we don´t expect BTC to keep rising. I think the same would apply to other asset, even ETH. and yes ETH the problem with supply and IMO the problem of the hundreds of shitty tokens that will crash on top of it:)

I can surely understand your disappointment but i think we need to see this as a temporary situation since all alt coins are very unstable at the moment. Yes ethereum is not an ordinary alt coin but still they are all sharing the same fate against bitcoin.

I see the ethereum as a good coin to day trade...
especially for people that have 1000 + ETH
they can make easily 15k - 30k $ a month :)

I agree with you . Not only ethereum but all altcoin markets have dropped to very low prices, even I have lost my temper when seeing altcoin but I hope after the setwit2x Bitcoin prices can drop and should stabilize for a long time because of me Bitcoin prices are expected to rise sharply in 2018

ETH is one from some promising coin, they stil a little stable when bitcoin price get so high like now. maybe you must wait a little longer untill bitcoin price stop to rise or maybe wait for correction of bitcoin

Well bitcoin is causing a distraction and most altcoins are not doing well right now.

my point is no...ETH is now falling

Most have traded on ethereum and save for a long term even the price is falling. Because these days is the best time to invest and buy some ethereum. It is not best to sell ethereum you will lose some, I hold because in the long run price will reoccur to rise.

Ethereum gives you high profit in the future. All just we need to be patience and for sure once ethereum increase ut will continue and we can make more moeny with ethereum. As of now the price is 300 dollars and I hope we see 500 or 1000 dollars before end of this year 2017. The price of ethereum now its very stable . Hold your ethereum to make more profit in the future.

do not worry, I think this will not belong. maybe after a hard fork bitcoin occurs ETH will again show progress again. I also hold some ETH but I do not want a glitz to make a sell decision just because the price is down. I believe everything will come back to normal.

there is a common misunderstanding about eth. eth is not rival of btc. itt is rival of other altcoins. all shitcoins destroy eth.

I think if ETH price falling down dont worry because ETH have high demand. People need ETH for invest in ICO.
So i think ETH price will rise up again.

Everything will soon return to normal, and in particular the etherum, because some altcoins will have not got the strength to return to the old price, but eth will advise.

When is the ethereum fork. I read before that I would happen in november, but I think that’s now not on the planning anymore?
