Bitcoin Forum

I don't want to sound unfaithful and negative. But I just don't see it happening. At least not this year. Maybe next year or in 2 years. I believe what happened in December when everything was rising was just a "miracle". There is no guarantee that could happen again. ETH could fall below $100-$200 and it can take 2-3 years to reach back to $1000. I think that is more realistic. But people still make crazy prediction that ETH will be 2K+ by the end of this year. I want to know people's reasoning behind this because I just can't see it happening. BTC years ago when it crashed, took couple years to recover back. This could be the case with ETH.  Also, there is no guarantee there will be mass adoption. Whales are taking enjoyable profits right now and I believe price will get lower. Then get little pump – dumped again – little pump – dumped again. Repeat. You guys are crazy if you guys think ETH will break 1k (hell even reach back to $800) by the end of this year. Maybe next year. Please pay attention to what’s been happening in the market. I just cannot see that happening logically.

it may better for you to read all of latest whitepaper that has been written by core  team developer of ethereum foundation. Pos casper means the total supply of ethereum will be limited in the future because it will be moving to the hybrid system.

Coinbase maybe added ERC20 tokens because it's the only asset that meets the requirement of coinbase team.

More companies consider to give regulation to the ico to be registered in the official institution.

Some people are believing it.

Twitter ban is not applicable to the publicy companies.

Maybe all of them can't be considered as a good reason to pump ethereum price to the moon again but the time will tell us.

Back in November 05, 2017 the price of Ethereum dropped to $299 USD, however last December 31 Ethereum price goes up to $721 USD, that means if you bought 1 ETH last November 5, after 60 days the price of Ethereum doubled. If Ethereum can turn around the price in just 60 days, that $1,000 USD is very much reachable and you don't need to wait for a year.

Why should I convince you in the first place? If you do not have faith with your investments then you should not be into cryptocurrencies at all. Investing in cryptos is like any other gamble, it is a risk and you should have thought of that too. be careful with your investments.

You tried to cover it in your intro but the truth is, FUD is strong in you.  Cash out and never look back, otherwise, you will be blaming anyone here who tried to help you every time ETH takes a dive (and I assure you it will regularly).

When prospecting, the most important thing to have is faith (the belief in what you seek), lose that and you have nothing.

No one can help  you but yourself.  Good luck!

This is not an encouraging moments for those that invested into ethereum and other crypto currencies this year and most of the current holder buy high than the current price. I think ethereum is going to get over $800 and even  $1,000 this year because crypto currencies has been behaving this way in every year and price do rise significantly after a dip fall.

It can go to $0.1 in a few weeks ... or to $1000. It's just a coin toss ans it is almost impossible to predict ETH's price in a long term. All predictions are just speculations.

It is really impossible to quote the destination or quote the price of Ethereum independent of knowledge that we have the market is driven by emotions and all sorts of events can influence. In my opinion, our duty is to profit independently if the time is high or low.

I believe ETH may never return to its ATH, even if the marketcap recovers to previous highs. In the time it takes for that to happen there are many competitors of ETH who are developing superior blockchains, once these are finished ETH is going to struggle to hold them off. ETH rent is a monumentally stupid idea and perhaps a last grasp attempt to milk some money from something that's destined to crash.

just leave crypto, leave this forum if your going to post something so negative op.  Its clear your not a believer.

Ethereum might get back to $1k, but it is rather unlikely. I think so not because I don't believe in market recovery or am really against eth. My reasons for that are as follows:
- ethereum is on its way to become not mineable. That is why mining is currently profitable only if the price is about $1k. As now it's extremely unprofitable, people might just quit doing that.
- ethereum's price for great due to all the ICOs built on it. As there are many news against icos lately and people don't feel like changing their mind about them, eth is probably not worth high prices.

My sentiments exactly...note that he also started the tread about "committing suicide".  Way too extreme and so much drama.

Yeah right its depend on market and other think, we just can prediction & speculations. Right now its depend on market some technical analysis if we can survive from Death cross at bitcoin sure market will backup with Bull run

Off hand. Logic does not apply to crypto. Last year's Bitcoin price at $10k? 20k? Even now at almost 8k? That's illogical.

But you're right. Just because we're getting addicted to all these highs doesn't mean that they'll come back. We're just feeling withdrawal syndroms but we should take reality back to crypto. Don't dream of $1k again. If it happens, well great. But prepare for the bear. It's here. Prepare for the winter. It's cold and the wind's still picking up.

We might never see ETH so high again, I don't think it will be this year. The price looks destined to fall further, potentially down as low as 4/5k for bitcoin and $200 or so for eth and then it will be a slow and long recovery from there, there will be little hype so it won't be rapid in any sense.

$800-$1000 for ethereum very possible to happen. Becauss we know ethereum will already reach that ast few monyhs ago and more than $1000 in month of december 2017. You can invest now and you gain more profit after few months but if you want big profit just hold it for few years more so you can wait the price to increase more or become very high the price.

its strongest coin after bitcoin so far. There are many ICOs on ethereum still and many tokens are based ethereum. Soon Casper will come live and POS is also coming. So we need at least 300 eth for POS . You can think its huge but i think there will be some pools and you can join with 10 eth too. After POS and Casper 10million transactions / per second will be available , Visa doesnt have this :) We use eth as gas for transactions to so always we need eth. Eth is second known crypto and new investor can buy it with USD/Eur in coinbase. Ethereum will worth again 0.1 btc ;)

many are optimistic about the price of ethereum, because the price of ethereum is more stable. yes right, the value of ethereum now drops drastically if we convert to $ value, because this is influenced from the bitcoin value. let us calculate when ethereum prices remain at 0.05BTC / ETH, if bitcoin price rises to 10000USD / BTC, this means the ETH price goes up to 500USD / ETH.
So, its very posible rises to 1000USD/ETH in this year.

When the market recovers  not only do I think we'll see $1,000 again, but I think we'll see a lot more than that. Remember, Just 2 years ago you could buy Bitcoin for $220. This was after an all time high over $1200. So, it's not like we haven't been down this road. The market usually rebounds better than it did when it crashed.

I will not convince you, but I will say that it would be better for you now to buy the  ETH  at a lower price, because even if it reaches $ 100, then we will rise much after stabilization.

unfortunately all investments must have risks and everyone is free to argue against something he believes. if we do not have spirit, then we will not have a struggle in life to achieve.

no one is forcing you, if you are not strong, you can sell all your assets and maybe crypto is not the right choice for you.

Honestly no one can predict the future, if you don't believe it will go back to 1000$ then just sell now and try to buy back at 100$ like you say. Always do your own research and don't just listen to people

it won't reach that high this year.

and if you ask me, there is a very good chance that it will never reach $1000+ ever again. in fact if the manipulation in altcoin market reduced ETH would never reach above $200 again.

it is a very simple rule of supply and demand!
ETH supply is huge and it is growing super fast, we already have 100 million and by the time dumping ends and the pumps start the supply will be a lot higher than this (to have a number for comparison in your head: bitcoin supply is 17 million).
the demand for it is decreasing also. with all the ICOs dying and getting banned there is no longer the same big bubbly demand for it and in the future this will also decrease more.

huge supply + less demand = a lot less price.

The point is that crypto is getting more popular from year to year and fresh money, new fonds, inclusion of BTC in ETF can push the price back to 1000 level. Let's see what will happen, but I believe this drawdown is for a while

What difference does it make if it is pegged to the dollar, the whole system of crypto currency is designed for the fact that you will not return to the usual currency. Spread and work!

Because Ethereum has a great technology a lot of ICOs already partnered with them because of their Smart Contract their roadmaps, projects, teams and community are really amazing. I do really believe on ETH based on what I've searched I suggest do your own too. So you will know if ETH really worth for you or not.

1. Did you ever see ethereum dump from $13 to $4 thats why this time its dump from $1400 to $370.
2. This is how crypto world works pump and dump and very volatile.
3. Ethereum is only 100 million in circullation and it is used for issuing token thats why ethereum will always be usefull in cryptoworld.
4. Every day we saw new ico and project 80% of tose ico will fail but 20% will succeed and always use ethereum neywork.
5. In december ethereum will change its consensus to proof of stake and every one want to stake their eth. It will make the price sky rocket again.

Ethereum's partnerships help it staying alive for so long. I just don't wanna convince you over truth. Ethereum is the best smart contracts platform that attracts investors to make crowdfunding projects. It is billion dollar industry.

If anyone told me that ETH that was hovering around $10 to $15 would reach $100 or get to touch $1000, there is no reason to believe such and no matter the amount of argument could make me think that way even if the founder of ETH came with such prediction but it happened. Even now that ETH is now above $300, I still see it as a massive appreciation but same won't be for you though. The future is uncertain both for the positive and the negative but if the ICO market could get a boost, ETH could rise further

Exactly.

I think a lot of people are overly optimistic about the way the markets are about to go.

There is really no logical explanation for why Ethereum would go up to $1000 this year. It could rise to 0.1 BTC again, but don't forget even in that case where it essentially nearly doubles in BTC price from now(very unlikely) would result in only a $700 per ETH price.

Last year ETH made huge rallies against BTC, which means that this year the correction is going to hit it hard. I don't see it even going above $500 for the time being.

Let's see how this news will affect.

Once $ 300 it was fantastic. And now $ 300 is tragic. The growth of the Ethereum last year was due to the boom of the ICO. This year, there will be no such a boom, so I also do not understand what the price may rise from. Updating the Ethereum will give a small increase, maybe $ 1000, if before that its price does not go down even lower.

You think that this bear market will last the entire year? Personally, I think the price will go back up to $1,000 and then some. Can't go down forever really. Unless something really bad happens. But, I don't see this happening anytime soon.. This is just how the market works. Just remember, Bitcoin was $220 just a couple years ago. Then, it jumped up to $1,000 and then almost hit $20k. So anything can happen really.

No one will convince you, everyone here believes in this forecast until the end of the year, and in this coin capable of great growth after reaching the bottom cover. Previously, the current price of the ETH was for happiness, but time does not stand still and I hope that it will continue to grow in geometric progression.

Why not compare mining difficulty a year ago then now, then do the same proportion with the price :)

Lol "in december" which year? Nobody knows IF or WHEN it will turn and you know?

You describe it correctly, 2x to 3x in few months is not that difficult if things goes fine. I think Etherum can cross $1000 in Q2-Q3 as it is widely used altcoin with a working product. Etherum played a very important role in the popularity of cryptocurrencies.

I believe in the Ethereum and hope that it will grow. :) Today I own several coins.) Honestly, I did not expect it to be below $ 600, but it happened, so it is possible that it will go down even lower.  :(

when bitcoin begins to recover and the market as a whole will have a positive mood. by the end of the year I think we'll see
