Title: Will ETH ever follow Bitcoin's rise? Post by: davemanet on December 08, 2017, 01:47:07 AM All I keep reading in the news is how Bitcoin is entering the mainstream, and how people are buying into it on Coinbase.
What is stopping the mainstream from buying into ETH and pushing up the price? ETH is a great coin, yet it seems to be ignored. Do you think ETH is going to have a meteoric rise? Or do you think that mainstream buyers will only go for Bitcoin? Title: Re: Will ETH ever follow Bitcoin's rise? Post by: Vann on December 08, 2017, 02:07:38 AM CBOE BTC futures trading opening on Dec 10 6 PM EST is what is fueling the massive BTC run-up. ETH is set to have a derivatives market open next year. Both BTC and ETH currently have scalabilty issues. It remains to be seen if the Lightning network upgrade for BTC and the Raiden network upgrade for ETH can address that problem, so they can continue to scale.

The technology behind it, specifically the smart contracts, has advantages over bitcoin and it is already also gaining massive adoption. It's a coin that is easy to speculate that will rise in value over time. Title: Re: Will ETH ever follow Bitcoin's rise?

At the peak several months he ago , ETH market cap was a bit more than half of bitcoin market cap, while currently Market cap of ETH is just over 1/6 of bitcoin So totally agree , ETH could really reach the price at least double to 900 dollars or 1000 dollars, I think it is just about time , and of course , patience I also think the same price scope could apply to litecoin , too Just waiting for people continue to sell tech stocks from Nasdq and buy more ETH :) Title: Re: Will ETH ever follow Bitcoin's rise?

Btc network despite to high overload running normally with some pendings for low cost fees Etherium spends gas with no-result, my opinion ether network must be modificated he is not yet ripe Title: Re: Will ETH ever follow Bitcoin's rise? Post by: imagimar on December 08, 2017, 10:04:49 AM I think yes. Those recent events with GAS and kitties will make more contributions to network upgrades than anything else. They are smart enough to learn from those. I'll just keep my coins ;D
