Is it because Ethereum's limited capacity?

I see big pump on the way.
But, its true that ETH is really struggling with network scaling issues right now.

Since two weeks or so ETH transactions are increased so much and the network congestion continues to suspend these transaction and making them pending for over 24 hours and more time!

This is nightmare for the ETH, and if there is nothing they can do about its scalability issue then ETH gonna get suffer a lot in the future.

Big pump...Scared me...

Scaling is actually a big problem for all blockchain projects, not only ETH.

I saw many projects unable to withdraw their altcoins now due to ETH network congestion, the problem is severe now and I agree with you that they need to provide with solution asap, otherwise they will suffer a lot.

decline occurs not only eth but almost all coin is experiencing a period of less stable.
it's time for investment instead of selling

Ethereum was down because of Bitcoin was dropped. Presently cryptocurrency market in Red so all the Altcoins down. It’s not only Ethereum. But it will recover soon.

Are you sure that you see the market of ETH now dropping?

Maybe you are wrong and you've been looking to the past months chart of ethereum? I see there's a nice pump for ETH couple of days until today and this is because the market is getting healthier again.

Bitcoin is pumping so it is part of it too.

Are you new to this network congestion?

Yes I am new...Does it happen frequently?

The reason for the drop in the price of ethereum is because the price of bitcoin is dropping. When the price of bitcoin drops it affects the price of all of the altcoins in the market and ethereum is no exception from this. Considering how prices are dropping now, I think ethereum is holding up pretty well compared to others

As a newbie, I can understand this question. I just want to say that you should be familiar with the market and understand the history of this industry. This will be of great help to you. I believe that when you understand all this. You will become a qualified investor.

Not really happening frequently.

If there are too many transactions, there is network traffic that makes the transactions congested. It also happens to bitcoin.

Another drop right now just to follow what has already happened with bitcoin. The bitcoin is getting a little bit decrease and i guess it will come back later. But what do you mean about ethereum's limited capasity? The only reason all of cryptos are following bitcoin. When it was getting a little drop and it will give a lot of impact to the market.

I think that's not entirely true, because there are some opposite coins, there are certain aspects that affect the price of ethereum, like some news that happened a few hours ago

I guess it's because of economic demand

As you could notice all the coins are losing in value so do not be surprised, it is better to think how to invest at a favorable price of a coin  :)

They are coming up with sharding for that. I personally believe a lot in Ethereum, there are a lot many rivals who claim that they are better then Ethereum, however, none of them have proved there worth and existance in real world usage.

Sharding, moving to POS, casper, things are coming and ETH will be jumping back above $1K soon. Thats all my assumptions, always DYOR.

No, I don't think it is the case. The market volume is really low for all coins. It is not just ETH has limited capacity but the market as well. Even if a coins potential is high but in a bearish trend I think all could be affected.

I would say it is normal market trend as all cryptocurrencies have been bearish until now. Though ETH's value had been more affected now because of network saturation due to these massive airdrops lately.

I've been hearing a lot of noise that ETH is not a good coin and it's value is actually empty. I don't think so but when a legendary members puts it that way I can't help but get emotionally dragged.

for me the reason for the drop in the price could be an increase in the commission when converting (today in the news I read), but maybe I'm wrong.
in any case, I think it will not last long

if the situation is leading you into a panic stage you should not let yourself be on that situation but you must see how big opportunity is the situation now for you to have an eth in your bag.

If you look closely at the market, then it is not just the ethereum that falls, but almost all crypto experience the same thing. Suppose this is an opportunity to buy and own ethereum, because if the market has recovered later, then the price of ethereum will skyrocket.

Yes I know that the general market trend is negative and almost all cryptos are dropping. I just want to know that is there any other factor?

Someone said that the situation will change at the year end.

I don't think ETH is nothing, actually it is much better than most of the crypto projects right now.

this us just an effect of bitcoin situation in the market. Although ethereum is the best altcoin it is still not safe from bitcoin when it crash.

This is definitely the most wonderful answer  ;)

not only does ethereum decrease almost all altcoin decreased bitcoin also decreases,maybe many investors are in need of cash so they pull their coins stay patient because the price will recover if it's time if you have the capital then this is a good opportunity to buy.

No pal maybe it was a slight dump from holders or a correction before to increase more,  'cause it seems ethereum is fine now and still promising,  so don't worry if i were you focus on the pattern and make some TA sometimes, because it's a big help to determine easily  the movement of growth rate  .

simple, its either eth has an issue on their network to get some investors to panic or investors wants to switch into another altscoins so they dump eth. but the main reason of dropping of all altcoins is the bitcoin. when bitcoin price down, after a couple of days, altcoins are follows. like what we are seeing now adays. but when the price of bitcoin raise, after a couple of week, altcoins are follows.

because soon the price of bitcoin will come back then from now on Ethereum is decreasing because both of these coins also contradict each other about the price if BTC price up ETH will decrease as well as the price of ETH rise BTC decrease and with this decrease I think is usual

The whole crypto market is down not just ethereum, we are in bear market situation at the moment and when bear market happens all the coins in the market is affected even bitcoin is also affected because the price of bitcoin is also down.

No, its because market is going to hell, not only ethereum :)
Come on, open your eyes on what is happening!

That's a joke ether has not been used in any service related to the FIFA world cup. The majority of the gamblers are using the fast transaction and low fees coin just like doge coin ehty are not interested to use ethereum and remember this the blockchain of ethereum can get a congestion anytime.

Well, as my opinion, the main reason for dropping the value of ETH is lot of fake ICO and scam. First scamears arrange ETH by providing fake ICO or fake giveaway,,, after that they sell all the ETH which they collected.

This is the main reason for dropping the value of ETH.

If you are watching the market charts with decent attention you may understand that not only Ethereum falls but also many other cryptocurrencies falls. So it is not any special characteristic of Ethereum but the tendency of the whole market.

I read that a few wallets with large amounts of eth got hacked recently so that may have caused the price drop.  Don't worry its only temporary and should shoot back up again very soon.

Eth's blockchain is experiencing a rough time their blockchain got clogged this past few days, which made the investors to double check if Ethereum is really a good coin and if it's worth the risk investing.

I do not know that you are so fond of the ethereum. The volume of blockchain is simply catastrophic, the number of scams  projects launched on it does not do him credit, although it does not spoil much. The stability of the network is deplorable. The price of transactions is cosmic. To trade such an asset is comparable with the gangling of grenades.

because bitcoin is falling in price! ETH exactly follows bitcoin, when it falls, then ETH falls, and vice versa! Now you can very profitable to buy eth, unless of course you still have money))

Its because of increasing consumers nowadays,  people's started investing in ethereum nowadays,  as the value goes down.  It will increase massively in some days and all will get more profit in tha.  So be patient and hold the coins for some days it will gives us a huge profit.

Yeah I know it is a joke, but I do not understand your second part, the gamblers are using other low fee coins? Any examples?

there are a lot of people spreading fud about ethereum and the PoS, that is one of the main reasons of why we are seeing it dropping so hard. But it is a good coin and i think that it will recover from this

Because eth is shitcoin  8)

How can you say that ETH is shitcoin??

Eth is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions.

Just check it on wiki or official website of ETH

No, price drop of coins this past few months is because of FUDs. Many exchange have been hacked and it cause fear to traders and investors that's why they are in panic selling. One of supposed to be decentralized exchange has been hacked. Many people are doubting the security of exchange. We know that everything will come back to normal but we can't control what other people wants to do.

I don't think that Ethereum has fallen, but all the coins are falling. It is better than Ethereum, because there are more altcoins and their value is close to zero, which makes people feel even more terrible.

If there is a reduction in the price of the Ethereum, then this is exactly the manipulation or global decline of the market. The ethereum shows very good development.

It has varied deeply on the less demand for Etherum and high supply which has caused several dumping activity by massive hodlers
Another factor is the fake ico devs who accumulated a lot of Etherum during their fraudulent activities only to sell cheap and ruin the steady market growth

Cannot agree more on you

The market trend is down, all currencies can't escape, including bitcoin. Even if the market is not good, the trading volume of Ethereum has decreased. I think Ethereum has not declined. It still has a lot of people investing. Ethereum.

Have you only seen the ETH drop? At present, all currencies in the cryptocurrency market are declining, and the currency boss BTC is also declining. I think you can learn more about the cryptocurrency field and learn more about the history of this industry. But you can rest assured that it will rise sharply soon!

The market is going down, investors are slack. If bitcoin gets back to 10-15k then I think all the altcoin will come back. I do not want to say anything more than we keep calm and do not cut holes if we are the holder. Volume of the market at this time very weak, please wait for money from other channels from the financial market poured into.

As long as the whole market is dropping, it's normal that Ethereum will also drop. Just be patient, and have a portfolio that includes many coins(both the big ones, and some small promising ones). The market should recover sooner or later, because the blockchain technology is the future.

Have you seen the market ? the price falls not only on etherium but also on other coins ... this is a temporary fall

Ethereum and other altcoins will move based on the movements of bitcoin. This is just the nature of the market at this stage. Ethereum like bitcoin has scaling issues, and it is increasingly facing competition. Ethereum will overcome these problems in my view.

probably because of the dump of the ether.
and most of them are from bitcoin, because all altcoins are based on bitcoin. In my opinion

That's not the cause, mainly the number of people interested and the pre-technical investment is declining in number!
Digital money needs a new start.

I do not see anything terrible in the fall of ETN, now the whole market has fallen and the etherium as well as bitcoin, but soon everything will be restored and we will see the growth of the etherium.

If you look closely at the market, then it is not just the ethereum that falls, but almost all crypto experience the same thing. Suppose this is an opportunity to buy and own ethereum, because if the market recovers, then the price of ethereum will skyrocket.

the market has been declining for a very long time and we are seeing only a drop .... I don't know why this is happening . but I'm sure it'll be over soon.

Sir, I don't recognize your idea, because when the market enters a bear market, the price of all cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Altcoin will continue to fall. This is a normal phenomenon, and these will resume when entering the bull market.

almost everyone is resting, it's summer now . this happens every year, waiting for the beginning of autumn, all return home)

I think that no one you not can answer this question . This is the market, supply and demand

the decline in ethereum prices due to bitcoin prices is on the decline and I see not only the ethereum that has fallen in price but almost all altcoin has decreased in price

Have you been observing the cryptocurrency market recently op? If you did, you would understand why ETH has been declining in value recently. The bear market is the answer that you are looking for which has been persisting for quite sometime from the beginning of this year. I don't think the bear market will reverse until August which is why I recommend HODLING your ETH at the moment since it is a bad time to sell currently.

The ether still has no total restrictions, and it is still mining. This is also a kind of pressure. Many miners need to sell it to pay for electricity. There is also a market that is falling, so the ether can not be avoided, this is the decline in confidence in the entire market.

Many coin prices in the market are falling. If there is a drop in the prices of Ethereum and Bitcoin, all coins will decline.
The amount of money on the crypto money market is the most important factor.

do not worry in the near future, the price drop will end and in a few weeks the market will start to grow

With the spread of airdrop, a few investors are buying Ethereum just for the purpose of having contact with the token. ICO start to rely on private placements, and distribute free tokens. This reduce ETH value. In addition, other platforms are now offering ICO and creating demand for assets.

This is a stage, not only ETH happens, market fluctuations are normal, you need some time to wait

All altcoins dropped teir price, for stabilizing price to btc their price dropped in usd.
This market prices is bound between usd and btc for altcoins

maybe the value of Ethereum is down now because now the bitcoin price will go up hence the price of Ethereum is now decreasing because bitcoin and Ethereum prices are contradictory and nowadays many people are investing in bitcoin with short-term and Ethereum price also decrease because soon bitcoin price will be back

Not because of the ETH ability is limited, only because the market is not good, is not only the ETH, BTC price also is in a state of sharply lower, so you don't need to worry about, this situation will soon be over.

No I don't think so. This dump is due to the domino effect in cryptocurrency coin which all the coins prices are down. The prices haven't recovered since February fall this is the after effect of it.

in my opinion, if Ethereum goes down because Bitcoin is dropped. Currently the cryptocurrency market is at low again so all Altcoins go down.
So when bitcoin prices increase, after a few weeks, altcoin follows.

now not just eth down, all altcoin experience this. the sluggish and lonely market conditions made me a little worried. bitcoin prices that become a benchmark also experience this decrease is not good but this is common in the crypto. I have to wait for everything to improve.

It is because of the whales trying to bring down the crypto market this group of cartels has been manipulating the price so they could buy back with a much cheaper coin and masquerading it as a crypto exchange being hack and millions of crypto getting stolen but the amount of coins that got stolen doesn't add up to the downfall of the market.

as you can see, ethereum is not the only on who dropped its value. every cryptocurrency in the market does. it is not because it has a limited capacity, its just that there's a lot of things happened. like correction in the prices, and also a lot of FUD previously.

I think not only the ETH is decreasing but all the coin is now decreasing the blades of seeing the market now and when looking for a few months this market tends to go down if want to enter at the end of the week is actually this phenomenon I have noticed in every entering the end of the week.

look at the market, the price is reduced for all coins without exception

The movements of Ethereum are very dependent on Bitcoin. Ethereum will increase when the whole market is recovered. One day the value of Ethereum will surely increase  :)

It's because of bitcoin is down that is why ethereum is down as well, but this down is good time to buy then we hold ethereum for long term, I'm sure we can earn profit with ethereum just be patient.

Eth is down because bitcoin is down too, always remember that the value of potential altcoins always depends on the main currency which is the bitcoin. It will recover or increase the value when the market totally recover

No problem at all . This is just a small rebate to generate market volume and capture the situation.

don't just look at the ethereum, however, all crypto down all. of course this is because crypto is on his condition was not too good and in fact, could also be due to the influence of the bitcoin price also dropped. even from the beginning of last year until now always decline and it was certainly not expected by all investors.

This is a decline in the overall market, all coins are falling, not one or two. All this is not an etheric problem, it is a problem of insufficient market confidence. Only when the market once again has a large amount of money to enter can there be a new beginning.

Of course many reasons why price ethereum could very fall like this now. I think it has to do also with the price of the bitcoin also getting down. However, calm, conditions like these are reasonable in crypto. No need to worry, because conditions will soon improve. The price will be back high again.

If you take a wider look ethereum is part of crypto and recently many exchanges face being hacked and many coins are lost, which might be because of this many crypto users are scared and they go out of the market. Thismovecaused many coins value to drop and since ethereum is part of crypto family price drop is inevitable.

in my opinion because everything was bubble in past and now whole market going down so ETH in same board. Also many ICOs, games running on Ethereum blockchain but it network congestion so crazy then people losing their trust.
We have to wait new money put into this market all coin pump then we can see ETH pump too

It's very simple, because Uncle Bitcoin has fallen in value. I believe that someday, many altcoys including Ethereum, will be an independent coin that will not repeat the movements for Bitcoin.

a lot of coins whose price is down include ethereum so I do not think it's too focused to see a coin price because nowadays a lot of coins are priced down. current market conditions are very difficult to predict if not carefully you can lose when investing at this time

I feel the downtime is just a general situation of the crypto currency market though. It's not really a specific coin going down but basically all.

Actually the whole market is struggling right now, and based on what I have heard and read, people are starting to stay away from cryptocurrency maybe because they have lose huge money from investment in cryptocurrency market. We can't blame other people its their choice. In my opinion, people who invested in crypto are earning through its fluctuation, wherein the market will sudden pump way up and randomly goes down. We have to give the market a time to recover and have patience to wait for the right time to sell you coins.

Am also surprised about the decline in the value of etheruem
It made me confused maybe to dump the etheruem that I have or to
hold it a little bit more, because the more I hold the more it fall.
I am totally confused don't even know what to do

I think that it is not related to the capacity. The whole cryptomarket is falling and the Ethereum is falling with the market. So ETH price in the line with market trend.

I saw many projects unable to withdraw their altcoins now due to ETH network congestion, the problem is severe now and I agree with you that they need to provide with solution asap, otherwise they will suffer a lot.

Ethereum now is very dependent to Bitcoin that is why when bitcoin goes for a down trend ethereum follows. Not only ethereum but also alternative coins have affected by the movement of bitcoin. Some says it will recover so don't worry too much.

there is a lot of ICO on the platform of the ether . they completed the preparation of the expected funds . they will sell ether . for example , EOS sold a lot of ether in June this year . this caused the price of eth to drop to $400

Market is in a bear condition at the moment, Ethereum is not the only coin dropping, other coins are also going down as well, even bitcoin is dropping as well, so it is a general problem.

yes more people are using ethereum network and the transaction become expensive at that time. I do think they should manage this problem cause the demand of blockchain will increase and it means the number of transaction that using network will increasing too so ethereum should be ready and i do agree ethereum not droping at all its just cause the market correction and all the coins are down so its okay and nothing wrong at all.

I think this is just a market trend. we see all crypto also suffered the same fate, down with sluggish market conditions. of course the eth to enter into the current market conditions. but no need to worry, it will get better soon.

The price of Ethereum has been falling for quite a long time, why is it surprising to you just now? The whole market is falling, Ethereum is no exception.

Absolute direct correlation between the price of bitcoin and other alts. Bitcoin in the drawdown - the ETH too, the ether is not alone in such situation. And the bear stage of the market is still standing. So we are waiting and don't panic.

Not only the ETH price dropped, is all the market and all altcoins or coin price dropped, the market have declined a couple months before, depression and many disadvantages in the crypto at this moment.

Exactly the point. However, you in few weeks time we can expect a greener market I believe. Because with how the things are progressing in different countries, market should go up. Here in the Philippines, crypto currency is already being allowed, provided the strict regulation. In other countries, cryptocurrency legalities are also already being discussed. Things should get better soon.

true,
situations like this always happen and have become commonplace in crypto, do not be too pessimistic because the situation would be better

i think it depends on bitcoin when bitcoin price goes high eth also goes up :-\

All coins in the market are heavily dropped. Just wait until it comes back.

Any drop in the crypto currency is associated with certain events, so you need to find them from the very beginning. Even if initially it seems that the situation smells of fried, then under no circumstances can you panic and try to sell coins for the money that you are offered.

Given the rapid development of technologies related to Ethereum and its comunity, and the fact that the SEC did not recognize the Ether as a security, it speaks in favor of this token.  However, the information note from Foley & Lardner says that 41% of respondents expect the crypto-currency market to collapse in the coming year.  This percentage is quite large and explains why the crypto currency market lacks volumes and there is no inflow of new funds.  Paradoxically, the fact, the expectation of people for correction in itself, creates a correction.  And after, the fact of falling quotes only feeds the investor's fears and confirms his pessimistic expectations.  Against fear there is one weapon, this is greed.  When the price makes a correction to those levels on which fear of loss will become weaker than the desire to earn, then it is possible to expect a true reversal on the trend.

I guess price of bitcoin continues to fall down. More and more institutional investors are investing in and jumping here into this blockchain technology world. Hopefully the market will recover.

Not always mate. All coins depends on btc price but eth is more self-dependent coin and it can rise and fall by itself

not only ETH and the entire market is in a phase of decline..and ETH lives with an ongoing problem in their network,it is experiencing a strong overload and like to find a solution to the problems of network scale(

Yeah!  You are correct,  those FUD did a lot of panic to eth  holders,  and again bitcoin is mooning,  y'all know that whenever bitcoin moon altcoins dump

a classic rules on altcoins especially ethereum is when bitcoin price going up ethereum will be down
and i see this old rules work in ethereum now,,
but in my opinion its only for a while my friend

this is just a big dump issue, this is not another issue for eth. because now the eth will still continue to run and optimistic eth conditions will improve because the eth will not be in a position slumped. this price drop is just a cycle that exists on cryptocurrency including eth.

It is not only Ethereum will be affected, the entire market is dependent on Bitcoin price since from before. But base on my experience, when bitcoin goes up altcoins WI follow then opposite of what you have said.
For the current situations we have,  a lot of factors to consider and it is pretty hard to point out which one cause more.

I have no update the price situation of ethereum as of now in the market but one tning i can says the price rise begin for the cryptocurrency the signal in coinmarketcap are now is in good situation.

nope,
ETH becomes another shitcoin lately because its huge fees for every transaction,no significant progress in their development and too much drama(Drama Per Second)[DPS].
it also requires a lot of storage to sync it from the beginning which mean totally impossible for people to use it right now.
so why bother with it ? and moving up with another such as NEO ? or something similiar to that one.
i also hear a good news came from STRATIS a few days ago,so i assume it'll be huge in a few months time later.

Eth now has the growing numbers of contracts specially when it come to trading, but most of the traders have their own stand for how they handle decisions. That's why we see more fluctuating price, and definitely it made the price dropped always. Eventually after the falling value other traders also holds their coins and wait again for another price spikes, then day traders will grab small price increase profit.

Where put that information the market in good condition for the whole cryptocurrency and please give proof about your accusations for ethereum limited capacity, and can explain why is limited.

Ethereum price now are good Now because the price of the bitcoin increased too.  I hope ethereum will continue to pump and not to  dump again. Ethereum price become very high after few years from now.

When we get price falls like this, a lot of people get frightened, especially if they haven't been through one of these volatile crypto cycles before. Those who bought near the recent top will be feeling particularly bad. Many will cave into their fear and sell. In my old line of work - psychology - there is a saying: when you feel bad you make bad decisions. A lot of people are making bad decisions right now and that is putting a lot of downward pressure on prices - more than there has ever been probably.

Having said all that, the market has never been as large or as liquid (sic), and we had a good week so far, if If the uptrend is maintained we can be in the presence of an imminent recovery.

a classic reason on eth is with their network,
when he network have an issue, this will make the price down
i think this is the main reason mate

Just wait for time and be patient still hold your asset because bitcoin has started to move up and the thing that usually happens is eth will follow the movement.

well it was quite odd since bitcoin was rising for a past few days, lets hope it's gonna ride bitcoin rise next days

Dont be specific about dumping coins because even bitcoin the number one cryptocurrency has been dropping together with all coins,if there were some whos growing is those coins that has been manipulated by whales.

Dont worry because there will come that prices will grow like ethereum and many other coins that has good potential

Not only ethereum valued price was drop but most  of the altcoins will dropped too.We must wait until the currencies will rise again.

Firstly, because Ethereum has inflation model. Secondly, it is too many collected eth during ICOs, this projects sold their eth, for example only EOS sold hundreds of thousands ETH for couple of months. Thirdly, the problem of  scalability has still not been solved.

I think the value of ethereum falls because ethereum may be affected by the bitcoin price condition and is affected by the total supply held by ethereum, if the bitcoin price drops, all cryptocurrencies will also drop and ethereum also has unlimited supply so it will be very difficult to be expensive.

No. I have noticed the very slow movement of ETH in this positive trend. Maybe bitcoin is taking over the attention when positive news comes. On the other hand, I suppose the previous ethereum system congestion was a problem (related to the miners). I think, when it's fixed. ETH value will increase.

I think the limited capacity has something to do with it.

Are you looking into PoWH3D at all?

They have an "exit scam' going right now, sounds bad at first, but it's a satirical game that can pay dividends.

I have a limited understanding, but what I do know is that they're stressing ETH right now with the amount of transactions.

If you look at the chart on this webpage - https://powh.trade/ - you can see they just blew up.

Other than that, the whole market is wavering. They won't always match BTC, even ETH or XRP.

too many tokens are built on the ethereum network. to make the traffic of the ethereum transaction heavy. if the capacity of ethereum is getting full, will hardfork be done again .. ?? or they can add capacity without updating ethereum. I think ethereum should make a restriction on Token.

OptiToken officially done with ico, who got moon tickets

because now people are looking for new investments. I think ETH is too slow for the future. There are much better projects. People are discovering.

I think the value of ethereum goes down because most people sell their ethereum and that is a panic because bitcoin prices are also steadily declining and it makes the ethereum network so dense that to conduct our transactions takes longer.

I think it has a problem in their network to make some frantic investors or investors want to switch. The decline in Ethereum prices when the price of Bitcoin declines and we also see not only Ethereum which fell in price but altcoin also experienced a price decline that is happening today.

Nothing can grow without small periods for rest. Now Ethereum has not yet gained enough strength to continue its growth.

so what is the better solution than ETH? EOS? EOS has bug too. ETH price falls because people convert it into BTC and hype. But ETH is still one of best project ever.

Often when bitcoin has a decline, almost all coins in crypto market both have a drop. Some last days, bitcoin has a slight increase and a slight decrease alternately, and till now this situation is still existed . Also ethereum follows to bitcoin, it’s not because ethereum’s  limited capacity. Yep,   I am mostly prone to  bear market, particularly as you can see the bear lasts from the very beginning of this year. I think most of us should keep holding and waiting, let get away panic because if you bring panic, you probably do something in negative way and get loss.

For me it is pretty normal especially right now it is the bearish market but I think Ethereum price is getting recharged and will BOOM in any moment. Always remember what goes up must come down but what goes down must come up.

I think ETH is too slow for the future. There are many better projects. People are discovering because now people are looking for new investments.

cause all altcoins are related to bitcoin so if bitcoin drops,they must drop too

It was  rising before so now it is the time for it to fall in value. Remember that virtual currencies has always their volatility at this present time and it will continue so don't be surprised when it happens again and again unless we reached an agreement to make it stable.

The trend due to bitcoin has increased in price. and we all should not need to be too panicked in the face of such a situation, because in this way later when the btc increase is stable altcoin will experience an increase in price

may be the reason why ETH value is droppen right now, because the BTC Dominance is raise up, so, it will make some investors cash out their investment from altcoin and also ETH to bitcoin

not as you think, not only the ethereum is going down but almost all the crypto currencies are falling in price, but with moments like this is a good time to invest in ethereum

right now, eth-usd increased although the changing percentage is small, eth-btc decreased again. I think it's because ethereum price just follows of bitcoin price so no matter bitcoin moves, ethereum will follow. and I see that eth-usd might get down too because bitcoin is decreased more than $200 from the last highest price. I am sure that ethereum will increase again soon, and I still want to buy more ethereum at a low cost, so I have a big chance to sell at the highest price.

Yes we must observe that not only ethereum are falling also other altcoins. So many reason's for this dropping of price but hopefully their is an increase this next month time. Instead of panic, good to buy ethereum and hold during this trend of ethereum.

I think this is happening. In addition, hacker issues from Bancor have been a big influence on the investor psychology. They poured ETH and dipped into the bitcoin's rapid rise. So, The market is always out of balance. That is the factor that has created the modest growth of ETH.

If you think that is the reason then why other coins are also down. The main reason is All traders are selling their coins and holding btc due to etc approval as if it got confirmed then btc price can get doubled so they should be in good profit

I think the volume of ethhereum trading is falling in price is probably because ethereum does not have good news that can trigger the price increase of ethereum. if there is good news then trading volume will greatly rise to high.

The ethereum price in bitcoin form was trying to get the best price as per the bitcoin price increase. I meant the price of ethereum in the bitcoin value tries to get the best value in the bitcoin pair.  as per the latest announcement regarding the test of ethereum byzantium code and it seems interesting for me to buy more and more ethereum.

Not only Ethereum, we are experiencing this with many other coins also, with the sudden increase in the price of Bitcoin the value of other coins price is kept decreasing. This is really affecting the altcoin prices in the market.

I think maybe it's ralative to competitors constantly spring up,for example,eos,ont,btm etc.

I thought the ETH down not because of limited but for Bitcoin is also down. The value of the changes happening in this market also depends on the growth of the Bitcoin. If a Bitcoin can certainly keep up the positive impact of all Altcoin. All the coins will also be moving up steadily.

Market is dropping because of the large number of users who panic and choose cut loss, they are more confident with negative news than the performance of the project so choose to sell and go rather than wait.

Bitcoin that undergoes correction makes an effect on ethereum and I'm sure not only is ethereum alone affected by this effect.when bitcoin drops the price of altcoin also goes down

if I think with many people and investors who sell ETH yesterday when the price has increased, so more to sell it is easy for the ETH to decline

over the past 2 weeks, the market seems to have begun to stabilize and Bitcoin showed 6% growth and the etherium reached 1% growth. For today we are seeing a fall again. How long the market falls, Nobody can predict.

Google eliminate the crypto,mining apps from the google play store so market is going down. This is speculation dont worry just wait the rising.

No, this is not due to the fact that Ethereum has some problems with scalability. Now everyone is very focused on the decision of the SEC ETF and sell some of their ETH tokens and buy Bitcoin, so we see a slight price drop.

The decline in the value of ETH may have occurred sales with large volumes, to buy bitcoin whose prices are experiencing growth, so the amount of ETH supply has increased and resulted in the decline in ETH prices.


I think the limited capacity of Ethereum's very good so the price of Ethereum can fluctuate and can trigger the movement of its value.

this is just a journey from a coin and nothing to worry about, the ethereum volume is down till this is only temporary and will surely experience improvement, where ethereum is a good platform in cryptocurrency.

Until the bitcoin will get its ETF deicison from the US authority. Ethereum will not increase before the bitcoin will have done with its ETF. ETF has created a little bubble to the bitcoin. It will continue and the bitcoin will try to push another crypto due to the ETF reason. This is what that i can get from the market right now.

For me, it is because the Bitcoin is also dumped, most of cryptocurrencies nowadays are also following the price of Bitcoin, because Bitcoin dominance is almost 50% against other cryptocurrencies. The total marketcap of ethereum is also high, so  I believe it is in the price of Bitcoin.

Its because investors focus on bitcoin now that is why ethereum is dropping and also other altcoin is also dropping. well, its a matter of time. after the bitcoin bullrun this ethereum will follow.we should buy more ethereum now because by the end of the year it will earn us a lot of profits. We hope that this month of august ethereum will start to recover from dumping and we hope that others altcoins to will get recover.

Because people nowadays learned about how shit this coin is,and they have known how risky to invest on this thats why investors from ethereum are going back to bitcoin now.you can check that on what is the market capitalization now,how dominance bitcoin telling the whole community that he is still the best coin ,and ethereum will always be a shitcoin

in my opinion the price of eth is now fair, because after the increase must decrease, it means that eth holder has gain and sell it on a large scale, it also affect eth network causing long queue because holder sell eth

The two strongest crypto-currencies, ether and bitcoin, usually walk in pairs. But now, when the market is very volatile, all the altcoins are falling, without exception!

ethereum drop in bitcoins value
but its rising the dollar price, and i do believe ethereum will rising back soon  ;D

I think the price of ethereum has decreased in price like this because the conditions in the exchange are very bad and make many people panicked so as to make the price of ethereum to fall in price.

yeah true, the people move into the mother of crypto, once they get enough power,
will back to ALT  ;D

eth is a very popular ico platform in 2017. I think ico is not as much in the year 2017 so ethereum even its price declined

Any young market including the cryptocurrency market is subject to excessive volatility. In this regard, fluctuations in the price of the Ethereum depends on fluctuations in the price of bitcoin. And we all know how whales are able to manipulate the price of the first cryptocurrency. fortunately, many understanding this feature earn a lot of money buying at the bottom and selling at the top

This is because people stopped seeing something attractive and promising in Ethereum. However, things can change.

now is a very difficult period for the entire crypto market .... the price falls on all altcoins, you need to be patient

I think it is due to the overall market conditions we are having right now. The people have not started to invest big amounts on this market yet. The price drops are common for all the coins now. This overall market condition cause ETH to go down.

now the entire crypto currency market is in a very deep correction and ETH including. When the market starts to grow, ETH will also rise in price

Currently there are rumors that affect the price of ETH, many people believe that ETH hacker attacks, so I think that the news has affected quite a lot of the current market.

Not only is ethereum experiencing a price decline, it happens to all cryptocurrency including bitcoin, this year is a bad year for cryptocurrency, this might happen because this year many ico projects ended in scams, resulting in a decrease in confidence in cryptocurrency .

I agree with you . Most of the heads of ICO projects are showing signs of selling more ETH and this has made ETH prices continue to fall in recent times. Personally, I'm sure the price of ETH could grow again with the participation of new investors but this year everything is very sad for the whole market.

I think it has something to do with some gambling games. Have you ever seen FOMO3D? Such a game has caused a blockage in Ethereum.

You are too right. Due to limited capacity, the value of Ethereum has been reduced. Although it has a large user base, Ethernet is not much innovative at present, and its customers are losing!

The market influences everything. It is foolish to deny this, of course the influence is not so much, but decent. And since because of the fact that the market is dropping less projects that collect less ethereum, that's the impact of the market.

When it reached resistance level it corrected and it formed bearish trend. Now there are two nearest support levels on 260$ and 250$. I think price will do its correction first at 260$ and if it breakthroughs this price next stop will be at 250$. But if we consider that autumn begins, we should expect bullish trends from these two prices. It's really hard to say exactly what it would do.

We have more months to go, its sad but we must let go of that emotion. Let's keep on buying ETH, because it will rise again one day. No one is sure about the current fall of ETH but its strongly stable on $250-$280, I jsut hope that it will not drop more on this level so we can be confident about the future of this coin. ETH has prove over the years and I know it will not crash easily. Hodlers must remain calm and focus.

many ETH are send from an Wallet which receive funds from Genesis Wallet, to Bitfinex, so maybe there will be another big drop!
Watch out

Not just the Ethereum, all the altcoins and the bitcoin dropped now. The downtrend has not come to an end yet, market volumes are low and uncertainties remain in the market.

Restrictions, regulations, less trust from investors and they sell in big numbers their Ethereum, exchange problems, there are many reasons, but with one consequence.

All the cryptocurrencies are down, and ETH as well - the bearish trend is dominating. It is so strong that the current situation might not be changed for several months more.

The price of Ethereum fell probably due to the cryptocurrency this year as losing trust from investors, because not only ethereum has experienced a significant price decline this year. The decline in trust could be due to the many ICO projects that ended SCAM.

I think its not the only ETH is in downfall also the bitcoin. Maybe it is because market is not in good state let us just hope for the pump. It will come soon!

It is because so many people who are spreading fake news about ethereum. There are many FUD spreading now. I also believe that ethereum is on price correction now, because of the very very long bull run of ethereum last year.

ETH has fallen down to the support level. Now it is a good time to buy. I think the traders let ETH to down up to this level. Let's hope that ETH will not this level down.

But at least this time is even better compared with the condition of the crypto market in a few years ago. They are all worth nothing and this time they are slowly gaining their value. It may take a lot of time but it will be so good to build the stability. Crypto needs more mature to be exist in the technology industry.

Damn true. That's what everyone wants to experience, very mature industry! Looks like BTC is going to have to start to make its move, hence ETH showing signs of weakness. So Not anytime soon moving up. I wouldn't miss this time grabs some.

You are right, even though this is falling but by thinking positively then in the current conditions it can be an opportunity to get a profit.

There are a lot of negative news spreading across the globe that affects the market negatively, so there are declines in this market.

BTC Dominance - the capitalization of Bitcoin, is increasing, now more than 50%. Bitcoin has accounted for more than half the market capitalization of the electronic money market. This suggests that pre-encapsulated cash flow is pulling out of the Altcoin and into Bitcoin, as investors find that Bitcoin is the most valuable value-for-money algorithm and " most.
In the context of falling trends, ICO projects are increasingly discredited, Ethereum also suffered the situation of selling off as many other Altcoin.

Nowadays, this is the trend that something big or there's something brewing going on for a big pump. If you know this spculative type and you see something in the chart, go big. This is a bias that you don't go against as what happen last year.

I would not say that the price falls only on etherium . The whole market has been declining for a long time

Probably a black hole in funds such as FOMO3D destroyed the value of Ethereum. They made Ethereum slow.

One factor is that ICO are not using that anymore since there are competitors where in like ethereum platform that can be use to issue a new token under them like smart contracts .

The influence of FUD and also Fomo is quite large. especially if bitcoin experiences a downward trend it is difficult to survive other altcoins. can be ascertained will come down

Bitcoin price has an impact on the markets of all cryptocurrencies. All investors are waiting for the rise in bitcoin prices. So now they invest more money in bitcoin. In this situation, all cryptocurrencies lag behind him. After bitcoin reaches its maximum value there will be an outflow of excess capital and this will provoke an increase in prices for all altcoins. Have patience.

Now its due to the ICO sells their collected Ethereum in order to get more funds for the project. I heard that last month from ICO was sold 300 000 ETH,

I'm afraid it's unrealistic to expect the price of a coin to go up indefinitely. Prices must always rise and fall, and the market can grow healthily. However, the recent sharp drop in ETH prices I feel abnormal, the news that this is the ICO project collective selling ETH caused.

Bitcoin dominance is going up that's why ETH is going down. Traders would want to take the opportunity to profit in the increase of bitcoin that's why it would be a big opportunity to sell their ETH or any other altcoins and then buy more bitcoin. If you observed in the previous bitcoin runs, altcoins go down when bitcoin is going up so if you observe that the bitcoin dominance is slowly going up, you better sell your coin also and buy lower or if your coin is already down then you can buy more to average down if you have more funds.

If you look closely at the market, then it is not just the ethereum that falls, but almost all crypto experience the same thing. Suppose this is an opportunity to buy and own ethereum, because if the market has recovered later, then the price of ethereum will skyrocket.
We have to wait new money put into this market all coin pump then we can see ETH pump too.So be patient and hold the coins for some days it will gives us a huge profit.

I think because people are not interested in ETH and in recent months ETH has not innovated on their technology. I have lost faith in ETH and will only invest in quality ICO projects. The best advice for people is to consider carefully when investing in ETH and be wise to invest

No, it's a matter of unlimited possibilities. Just the fall of Ethereum is a consequence of the actions of exchange speculators. In the same way, speculators act on ordinary exchanges. But in the near future everything will return to normal, and will begin first slow and then rapid growth.

For a long time, many coins are all in place, and they develop passively without any sudden movements up or down, so I would like to see now, but while Zach this follow does not work.

I think it depends on the promising technologies of Ethereum. Bitcoin is a very promising technology and it is growing day by day and remains on the top 1.

Eth has already touched its bottom and will soon be an upward turn. No need to panic. Need to buy ! The coin has all chances to keep its position in the market !

The time you created that topic is from July 2018. And I remember that it was a period when ETH faced a lot of negative information, including information about refusing to set up Bitcoin's SEC fund that affected the BTC rate as well as all of the cryptos in the market. , including ETH.

The fall Of the Ethereum cryptocurrency in price is a regularity. Prior to that was the rise and now decline. You don't have to worry about that.

Cryptocurrency with all its development no one can know for sure because it is a risk and the nature of the cryptocurrency itself investment with cryptocurrencies must be ready with all the risks that will be accepted and maybe confidence and patience that can reduce fear with prices are decreasing

I'm sure that ETH will recover. The current price looks like a great buying opportunity. It is very low relative to other coins, but ETH still has huge potential. Buy now if you haven't yet.

Eth dropped is normal because even other cryptos do already experienced it .

There were fake news that spreading lately about eth. Many people keep saying that eth is a scam coin and will end up soon . i think this is also the reason on why eth did drop dramatically because many people are easily convinced in which it resulted for them to sell thier eth holdings .

The decline in Ethereum prices could go down because the Cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing price volatility.
I think there are many acts of crime that occur in Cryptocurrency like many frauds that occur in the ICO.
While many ICO use payments with Ethereum, this causes Ethereum prices to fall in value and impact on prices in the current Cryptocurrency market.

This happens to the market and all altcoins, even bitcoin drops from $ 18,000 to $ 6,000 or more than 300%, but I'm optimistic that the ethereum market will soon improve so it can get big profits.

There are a lot of reasons, but the most important thing is a strong bearish trend. Fell not only the air but the whole market. Very few people want to invest in iso projects, but mostly they invested in ether, then the demand for it has fallen dramatically and the price has fallen.

In my opinion, ETH is falling maybe because Bitcoin is down. On the other hand may be the psychological factor of investors in large numbers. ETH may also be sold off to depreciate ETH.

Vitalik is about to copy what litecoin founder Charlie Lee did,  I just hope we won't see a huge decline in ethereum price, hopefully the news won't affect the price

But to my opinion, the ETH is reduced because of too many ICO projects and they use ETH to trade and buy tokens and they are willing to sell ETH at low prices to get business capital for the project. they. As such, more and more sellers have made the price drop dramatically.

maybe before starting to invest in any crypto currency coins knowing all the risks that will be gained in investing with bad news and prices that have decreased I think investors will not panic and be confused with what will be done because they already have the confidence and patience in investing in currency crypto

That is one factor that is happening at this time. We know that Etherum is currently widely used by various ICO projects and that makes Etherum able to experience price movements very dramatically. A very large market share can make Etherum prices increase and decrease very quickly.

The main reason for this drop is that the whole market is also dropped, but Ethereum is a coin who used mostly with different ICO projects. The latest ICO projects are falled down the ICO price, this mean that people decide to not buy ETH and join ICOs.

Maybe because of the reduced ICO, we don't know sure. We know eth is a altcoin with the best platform, before that many ICOs were using eth platforms or now it was dwindle so that it had an impact on eth prices

Ethereum has already shown what it is capable of, and without that we know that this currency is the one that can show something good and with a very good result in time.

Several factors, firstly it is now summer and the price is falling because there is no demand . secondly, it is made artificially to invest on the bottom

Remember this is a speculation market and any good result from the development will not give any impact to the price of ethereum because basically there was a party that controls the market. Remember when the bad news has come and the bearish market will be appearing instantly. Even the adoption by hundreds of platform doesn't even make ethereum to be independent.

Not only for ethereum in the decline that occurred throughout the year. almost all altcoins fall by more than 80%. no other cause is a ban in some countries, rumors and corrections.
but yes, ethereum is the most sharply lower than other top altcoins. and this is very concerned.
I think the opportunity is still good because after all eth has good technology

I think that there is no connection with Ethereum's limited capacity that makes ETH down. all this because the price of Bitcoin declined and the market price follow declined too, if the price of Bitcoin rises like last year then you will see ETH will reach thousands of dollars.
Ethereum depends on the price of Bitcoin.

No price drop does not limit the technology of the project ! It seems to me that we were given a chance to re-buy and yet become financially independent in the future. The project is working on scaling the network and I think that this will lead to growth !

Not only ETH is reduced, but the entire market as a whole. this is done to ensure that large players can cheaply buy coins

No, it is simply because of ICO dumpers.
This is the only reason+ market decline in general cause this situation. I hope it is not for a long time

The price of Ethereum is likely to fall because the whole market and bitcoin and other altcoins are falling. It would be strange if bitcoin fell, and Ethereum remained in place.

I think the decline of price is about Vitalik the co creator of Ehtereum, he is somewhat spreading some FUD last time about Ethereum!and also those ICO's that are fraud!

There is nothing wrong with this correction. the market is already starting to turn and soon all the coins will be very expensive. Now many investors are in panic and they think that the cryptocurrency market is dying, but this is what happens every day, because the market is moving in waves. who has been trading for a long time knows what I'm talking about
