Wondering - should I hold or sell Ethers... Any (knowledge/experience based) thoughts?

I think the whole market will fall a little further. I'm not really comfortable trying to time the reversal so I plan do hold this one

You should have sold it earlier itself. Now it's not a wise chance to sell your ETH in loss. If it goes down further from now then don't worry much because discounted prices won't last long. ETH already lost 55% from it's all time high.
Let's see if BTC breaks the downtrend for the confirmation then ETH and other alts will moon.

Bitcoin and ethereum has been doing very well through out last week and I don't know why we are having this high turn of events and the ethereum price keep drop as if every one is selling. Bitcoin has been outperform every other coins through out last year and the way the event of things is going we may have a very bad year or a bearish year in 2018.

To be honest i think Eth will test the previous support once again that is around $400 or 0.026 btc once it touches that expect strong reversal and the journey towards new all time high, it is my personal view and may be wrong so invest at your own risk.

The problem with eth is that once you have it, you don't want to sell  ;D  Unfortunately I realised too late.  I bought eth when it was $2, sold when it was $15 and bought years later when it was $300 ish.  Now I don't want to sell it anymore.  Hodled it when it was $1300, hodled some more when it was $900 and still hodling it when it's 700-ish.  What to do?  I don't know...  If you saw all these prices pass by it's quite hard to sell it OR buy it.  So I hodl some more and try to make more eth with bounties and trading ico-tokens....

I guess it went down a bit too frequently so I think it will go down even more.  I'm not buying until $300 and I'm not selling until $2000... ;D

I think you have nothing to worry about. If you are not an active trader, keep the Etherium in long, just get distracted. Relax for a couple of weeks by the sea.

You should hold the ETH, this is just a small fluctuations in the market. In the next few weeks the market will stabilize and the prices of Altcoin will rise again. You should not be too worried. This often happens on the Crypto market in the past time. After this rebate will be the jump, the price increase of the Altcoin series.

It looks like he doesn't know the reason behind this bearish trend. I will try to hold my ethereum.
This is the only reason to push the market down https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-08/bitcoin-s-latest-rub-is-overhang-ghost-from-mt-gox-bankruptcy?srnd=cryptocurriences
I will say the tweet that you have mentioned above me just another FUD article to the crypto. Random speculation and basically it may become a very wrong decision for you to follow it.

Ethereum is suffering from slow performance and high fees. Unless they can fix this which is unlikely, developers will move to better blockchains. NEO is one they are switching too, and soon they will move to LISK when DAPPS on their sidechains will make them the new ethereum

As we can see, ETH has the second largest marketcap, and the price is following the price of btc, that means ETH is the basic currency in this market, so if you fell optimistic for this market, you can hold them.

I honestly wanted to buy in at $7k, but to my surprise, everything started to recover.

BTC hit $8,888, but it's now $9250. Looks like it's on its way up, and hopefully will recover to 11k.

As for ETH, you can't say it's down anymore, even though it is, i guess... because ETH was $690 today, but now it's it's nearing $750, so it looks like ETH is reversing too. It should hit $800 by the end of weekend.

now I want to ask, do you get a profit if you sell it?
my advice is to hold on and wait for the right time to buy back.

I do not think that is speculation, because ethereum is one of the top altcoin with a huge investor and extends all over the world. With a relatively stable price, making Ethereum a lot of people. Since ethereum launches its own platform, ethereum is getting better day by day, so the price is always stable even increases. Although there has been an issue that keeps the price of ethereum down, but it only happens temporarily, after which the price of ethereum returns to normal. thank you

no need to panic market is going up and down!hold your ethereum!

The whole market is moving together at the moment. Most price changes have nothing to do with the merits of a particular project.
For me ETH is a long term hold. I would say now is not the time to sell.

By the way, note who said about the dependence of how the ether behaves and how bitcoin. This is still a small correction, so do not worry, the price is a little frightening for sale, you can lose a lot, so I would bribe the other way.

Exactly, crypto is normally doing its behavior according to its supply and demand. So, maybe for now there is so much supply that is circulating in the market. The best way is to hold the coins until it will increased its value.

I see a lot of negativity about this coin las days. But, despite this, my faith in ETH is strong. I don't believe that this coin can depreciate. Most likely the price fell due to the general fall of the crypto market. ETH does not have a worthy replacement yet.

The first time today I saw the price of ethereum in the market and I was very surprised because it had wasted quite far from last month. but I will continue to hold it and pretend not to know about this decline and try to stay calm.

I don't think it is speculation, it is downtrend market. Everything is going to rise again but everytime this happens market consolidates and becomes stronger.

many of today's causes of Ethereum are falling in price and open only Ethereum just as many other coins are experiencing the same thing.
there are people who say this is the effect of Dump.
but my advice is better to hold back on this just temporarily because as far as I know ETH is the most stable and easy coin to back green

Today the price of ETH went up again. I think that ETH will repeat the bitcoin movement. ETH can't go against the general market movement. But I'm sure that soon the growth will begin.

That I see the jumps not only on the Eth for a short time, it's just a correction, but it seems it dragged on for a long time. Will there be an exit, many will say yes, but when no one answers.

Do not sell it, you will regret it later as I did in 2017. Hold is the best pluck today ether will recover and this is only part of the fundamentals going on, do not panic by looking at the current market value of friends.

No, Ethereum is not catching up with bitcoin's price. When Bitcoin was around $10,000, ETH was around $1000 after the second crash now Bitcoin came up so the way to $9800 but still ethereum is at $730.

you shouldn't really ask others questions like this. everyone is going to give you a biased answer. if they hold any of it and wish it to go up, they will never tell you to sell and if they don't but want to buy it they will tell you to sell!

in the end you must analyze the market yourself. what i see is a huge bubble for this coin which needs bursting and each time there is a big drop a lot of people panic sell crashing its price more and more in the long run.

I agree that a worthy replacement is not there yet (even though neo is quite close and eos is also making its steps forward). Eth is still rather strong, but I also understand why people don't like it. With eth you can never be sure your money is safe and that you want wake up one day with your money eternally frozen, like all those people on parity.
As for the drop, though, I think it is very temporary and natural, as the whole market went down. I am sure we won't see eth going down more than to $600.

Many ICO's are built on ETH platform and it will make ETH coin grow in the crypto market.

Very good voices and it make sense. There is no need to panic as everything should go back up. Hope market stabilizes soon. One of the leading platform for smart contracts, dApps and ICOs as what I understand ETH has tons to go.

ethereum is in a falling trend since it saw 0.12btc levels, and it still is. I remember in Spring 2017 when ethereum is 0.15btc and it falled down to 0.02btc. I guess a similar downtrend is happening and this is not related with any news. We all must know that market is swinging between two poles: all time high and all time low. This is same for almost every coin, just look at weekly charts.

I think it's real news, not just hoaxes or speculation. The price of ethereum can be seen in all altcoin exchangers. All traders and investors must know that the ethereum will go down. Looking at the less stable market conditions, the price of bitcoin as the largest altcoin plays an important role in cryptocurrency, the price also decreases, certainly in the near future the price of ethereum and other altcoin will also go down. Thus, the decline in the price of ethereum is not just a hoax or mere speculation, but really the circumstances that will happen. It's even happening right now. thank you
