Bitcoin Forum

The ETH value continues to decline to -17.93% at the moment, whether this decline is caused by investors monitoring warnings from a number of regulators and increasing crackdowns on the virtual currency market or perhaps just a glimpse of wind from the impact of economic law so that it has an influence big to projects being a scam?

 We cannot actually say where the cause of this bloodbath is coming from,but I know that this crypto battle will soon be over, let us hope that the correction will end in few days. We have hard a lot of stories about Saudi Arabia banning cryptocurrency in their country.

There are so many talks about ETH on the forum that it fell very much! As if it fell one one! Yes it's a strong drawdown, but in it's all crypto currency! Wait a little, everything will fall into place! ETH all the same is an excellent technology and it's kept very many altcoins!

I am interested in blomberg's argument about the decline of ETH. Everything comes from 2 sides. But I still believe there will be an adjustment from Buterin itself on the "balance" of eth value and positive change will come.

Actually this market is infected because of price based on this ETH is also falling which is really unbelievable and at this time we need to hold this coin after when the price will increase we can sell them also we want that this coin will increase again.

It really pains the investors to see the condition of ETH to fall at this. We are all hoping that it will improve and will be terrible if it dies.

This time i don't find the reasons for rising of ETH price, because it has dumped by Miners, and ICOs. They need cash out their collected ETH for their purpose, more and more ICOs launch everyday, and we don't know the limit supply of ETH.

You can put some "," and "." in to your post ?  I can not read a long breath like this.
Bubbles of Ethereum is smaller than Cryptomarket. I think the Ethereum price drop because too many projects scam, ICOs fund have many Ethereum. When Bitcoin down, they sell it and take money.

Given ETH was once the king of altcoins, the coin is spiraling down even more. We just want this coin to not to die.

We are quite not sure why this sudden downfall of ETH. But I hope everything will be ok soon. Ethereum has huge potential as many experts believe so. Besides, many projects are based on ethereum blockchain system. Bitcoin has taken its fall and now ETH. Maybe it’s all a correction due to 2017’s sudden rise. I guess this will be over soon.

If I have the capacity to pull the  price down so I can own  more ETH, I'd probably do now before  it will become difficult for me in the coming  years. Its understandable that someone or group wanting to manipulate price including BTC so they can get more of it. This includes ETF approval which perhaps most of the whales doesn't want it approved and so they are dumping.

We can't really say where the reason for this bloodbath is coming from,but I realize that this crypto fight will before long be finished, given us a chance to trust that the remedy will end in few days. We have hard a great deal of stories about Saudi Arabia forbidding cryptographic money in their nation.

Just a fyi we need to be buying Ethereum right now not panicking and selling.  This is how people lose all their money.  Selling Ethereum for $290 right before the spike to $1,000. 

At the moment, many factors affect the price of Ethereum, primarily the decline in purchasing power and demand for cryptocurrency.
As well as SCAM projects, the organizers of which sell Ethereum lowering its price.

There are such huge numbers of discusses ETH on the gathering that it fell in particular! As though it fell one! Truly it's a solid drawdown, yet in it's all digital currency! Hold up a touch of, everything will become all-good! ETH all the same is a fantastic innovation and it's kept a lot of altcoins

In my opinion, a large amount of ETH has been released from ICO sources, Airdrop
Therefore, the ETH price dropped sharply

It's very sad, but if you see on the whole market not just ethereum fall significantly. As an example look at BTG price. It lost almost 97% of the maximum price. 

The bubble in Ethereum is obvious. Only those who are irrational will buy Ethereum at a high price of more than $1,000. It takes 2-3 years for Ethereum to reach $1,000 or more instead of last year.

ICOs are dumping their Eth, simple as that.
No one knows how long that will last.

It’s true ethereum's price falls down but it will not finish. Almost all the projects are facing this situation in recent time. So i hope ethereum will overcome.

It is really disappointing that ETH is falling based on this we should hold this coin and we know how beneficial is ETH but this condition we need to hold this coin.

I don’t believe that there is a balloon exploding in the crypto world. Such price fluctuations aren’t seen for the first time. Ethereum has proven it repeatedly that it is a cryptocurrency that is constantly evolving.

Suffered not individual coins but the whole market as a whole.It is still too early to count individual assets, everything correlates with bitcoin.

The price of ethereum at the moment may most likely to be linked with dwindling patronage of ICOs which is a reflection of the bear market.when ICOs become more profitable, eth will boom

In this cryptomarket, the price or value of any alta coins can be reduced at any time, there is no reason to worry.  In a short period of time it will return to its own position and bring more profit to the investors.

Remember that when the bubble burst one of the least affected currencies was ETH, that's why I was always reluctant to invest again in the prices that were there, even if they were relatively stable, because for me there have to be a normalization and stability and that type of bubbles have to burst to achieve that, now that we have a good flow of investors but nothing exaggerated, we can say that it is a good time to invest again.

Well no one can really tell what is causing this price drop, but it think that the recent price drop of all the cryptocurrencies has lead to many people dropping out of it and since the market has became flooded with shitcoins ICO projects have lost their popularity and probably that is why the price of the ethereum has gone down, but i am sure that this is not a permanent thing and probably by the end of this year ethereum will get back on its feet, so it is a great opportunity to buy more.

Market influence by huge investors and government proposed regulations really affecting crypto prices.  Not only Ethereum facing such challenge but of the entire market.  We never expect there is a continuous uptrend motion of coins cause it rarely to happen right now.

The entire crypto market is taking hits at the moment and yes, Ethereum is no exception but with such a good project ETH will definitely pull through. Otherwise, I think it will surprise us all big time.

I think ETH also needs time to get recover. I still trying to buy some but I always try to use stop limit. ETH has a lot of coins under it will effect ETH prize close future.

But still, we wouldn't see a dramatic price fall, Bitcoin has been trading sideways, but Ethereum is losing value very fast and its quit hard to see the price plummeting when other altcoins did get down as hard as Ethereum is.

---

I'm not really sure about the pressure form regulators though, Maybe there's something that really causing or investors are losing their confidence of Ethereum and maybe cashing it out. Hard to tell at this point.

I'm into crypto less than a year. And when I started, ethereum cost around $250, and I thought it was amazing. So I don't see anything horrible in the current price of eth. I suppose it's a normal, natural situation on the market. The whole crypto status is still shaky in the world. That's why we see these crazy ups and downs entailed by either the normal market cycle or the whales trying to manipulate the price.

Why didn't you talk about that when ETH was growing and reaching $1000? That's a hypocrisy! It annoys me that negative news appears only when its price drops. But when ETH's growing, everybody keeps silence!

The Ethereum network are still the biggest network for ICO, there’s still no real competitions to Ethereum. But a lot of new platforms are about to be lunched, or are already up and running, so the competitions for Ethereum network will only grow from now.  The Ethereum network is already running at full captivity, not all the time, but sometimes, so the price for using the Ethereum has grown.
There’s a lot of Ethereum own by ICO teams who also needs to be paid, and so do all the miners. It’s not easy to guess on a fair price for Ethereum, but it’s seems to be holding a bottom above 0.05 Bitcoins for one Ethereum.

Nowadays in the crypto market, there is infirmity. Because of this infirmity, the investors are facing loss. But I hope that everything will be fixed in a few months.

I think it will be fixed in a few months. There are many problems that are happening in the crypto market basically in Ethereum and bitcoin. But all the problems will be over soon.

Ethereum will be back to it's old highs by mid 2019 and the same people screaming this is the end will be kicking themselves for not buying.  This is some simple manipulation from the big boys. 

The time is going very disappointing for the cryptomarket. Most of the coins are having bad times. I hope to see the situation improves in a short time. I think Ethereum will recover the losses soon.

I don't think it will be a scam. Ethereum already has gained trust of many people. Maybe new regulations are the main reasons behind the huge price drop of Ethereum.

From my research i found that during this August period, crypto volume normally decline because a lot of people will be on their summer break, but things will pick up again when people return from the break and start trading activities, so let's chill and hope for the better.

ETH recenlty declining rapidly, don't know why. But it's need to improve again as soon as possible otherwise it should lose it's popularity.

Market value of ethereum decreasing that's why it's losing it's popularity gradually. They need to improve.

I believe this is because many ETH holder especially everyone new to cryptocurrency getting worried if loss more if they keep on holding on the coins.
So they are selling their ETH they previously keep and making the price falling.
But i think the price will be rising again anytime soon, and I hope everyone who had sell their coins don't regret what they done if the price rising up higher then when they sell their ETH.

It is disappointing that the ETH value is decline .The investor will suffer for this .Hope it will not continue for a long time it will recover soon.

Small investors will be mad but those who are richer who can buy more when pries dip are getting lucky that they still can buy as cheap as it is now. Years later they'd be happier they bought today because the price could be more than $5k. $300 investment is more than a bargain for them. It ain't going to be easy for those who invest years later.

I’m still bullish with the market of ETH and I also believe that there is something wrong with this coin now. Eth price might be manipulated but I think we have to calm down for now so we can start the up trend when everyone stop selling their coin at a big loss.

Not only ETH, every single altcoin is dumped very badly.
This time you just hold your position tightly and if you have more fiat then go and invest.

ETH market value is continuously declining, but it will soon return to its strong position again. Since ETH has a best technology in this huge profitable market platform.

Investing in a single coin is good but it's much better if we invest more coins than a single one. So that during in times like this we do have a choice to easily diversify any available coins that we can sell to avoid such big losses. Ethereum is a good coins to be invested but due to the market that keeps on declining the prices ETH will have to suffer again for the decline of Bitcoin.

BTC bleeding is making ETH and all altcoins bleed as well. This had to happen, ETH grew with Bitcoin value rise, and now it's falling. ETH with ICO being entering into the market lead to the price rise as well, Now the ICO market is also very down and thus bleeding. People now fear this fall, and they are selling it off.

With a single cryptocurrency, the whole cryptocurrency market can not be considered.  Though the price of ETH is constantly decreasing, so that it should never be said that the entire market has collapsed.

Actually, there are some visible and invisible causes that caused the bloodbath of ETH that we merely can assume accurately. But it is true that as an old coin, it will also recover this condition and will stand firm in slowly.

It is pathetic, as the price of ETH is constantly falling. This is probably the result of a period of overheating and user trust. When a large number of DEV of the ICO project sells ETH

It may even go lower - $100 to $200 as those who did ICO's might start or even have started liquidating their eth collected from ICO.
I try to to buy a few here and there. At current price of $260 to $300. This is almost the same price Q2-Q3 of last year.

That opinion stands with many ETH enthusiasts. There are various sources causing this chaos some which are more obvious than others of course, such as speculatively large sell-offs by EOS or just an overall confidence decline among the investors, but one thing like you pointed out, is clear, ETH will recover.

They have already started but i'm not sure about all of them will always try to liquidate their ethereum. As far as I know the total amount of ethereum that have been collected by ico has not yet surpassed the amount of ethereum that has been collected by EOS which was abount 1.5 millions ethereum or 1.5% from the total supply.

I hope the ICOs find a way to help me get out of this market

I agree with you, the main holders of ETH were different ICO projects, and they began to massively sell ETH.

Eth is fluctuated cryptocurrency and it's decreasing now but it's will be increase soon I hope  in future.

The sharp decline in ETH value was caused by people abandoning ICOs. This year's ICO market was terrible and most people lost money. These new ICO projects did not have real value. As the bear market went on, many teams had to sell ETH in return for the possibility of survival.

ETH is not bubble. ETH is promising coin and you should invest in it to get long term profits. ETH price falls because of bad news and scam ERC20 ICOs, you should not blame ETH.

In my opinion, I think prices will rise sharply in the next few days. Please wait and see. I see some rules like that

I'm sure that a large number of projects on the ERC20 have inflated the price of ETH, but a large number of SCAM projects negatively affect both the price and the ETH reputation and ETH go a DUMP!

Well, no one can say exactly why the market is still like this and potential coin falling very bad but I believe the bear will soon be over and the bull run will start. I believe if investors gives more support to the system and reduce the rate at which they panic sell, the market will rise gradually and the price of coin will also begin to rise.

If you referring to the cause of dump in price of all crypto currency market, the causes was already come to light because there's nothing hindering the market from pumping and the crypto market refuse to pump despite the good news surrounding the market that simply mean the whales are manipulating the market. But if youre referring to Ethereum market, have said already towards ending of last year that Ethereum will dump in price this years because there's competition in the dapp and smart contract project and Ethereum developers are not working simultaneously like before so the best team will definitely win.
Meanwhile, if Ethereum update their 3.0 there is chance for Ethereum to bullish like before.

I think there are various factors that cause the current ETH value to decrease.
one of the things that you mentioned earlier, but it could also be because too many ETHs have been circulated, we know the eth number continues to increase over time, and also between mining and burning is not balanced.

All that is now called a bubble or something else like that, I think that this is not correct, because any financial system that we have today can be called that way, I am sure that you also understand this, for example the same futures have such characteristics.

Indeed, the situation with ETH is very interesting. The coin loses its price, but the reason probably is that someone wants to either move ETH from second place or simply drop the price to buy at the lowest possible price, as soon as the trend is changed and all the Crypto currency will go up. But no matter how it was, I do not think that ETH has already outlived itself as a crypto asset, because of the usual manipulation of the market.

The ether will not fall more! These were manipulations that could not last forever. With the ethereum everything will be ok

ETH is the worst asset from major altcoins for investors last time because ETH has been falling for all this year. It is nonsense ETH has broken out all the resistance levels and it means that ETH was incredibly overbought. Unfortunately I am still holding ETH with huge looses and I would not recommend anybody to buy ETH now. It seems me that ETH will continue its downtrend or perhaps ETH will be in a flat trend. ETH is too weak to grow in near time so I myself think th sell all my ETH and buy something more interesting. My roomer has already sold ETH with looses but I am hesitating but I am also tired to be in looses so I will probably sell my ETH in this week.

I have been hearing lots of discussion about this topic but we have to understand one thing that this field is unpredictable. So we have to give it some time to overcome the mess up situation. Our patience is needed for the market welfare.

ETH is not bubble and all, if it was so, it would be lost for the long time ago and it could not have chances to survive in current pause in its increasing.

I do not think so, I think for some reason, ETH has lost value. I believe it will rise again and rise even higher.

ETH price is decreasing its natural because the crypto market is going on fall down now. don't be upset because it will turn around immediately. ETH is more secure and potential so it will come back and make the profit for you.

Price is only price ethereum is best Coin until now
Smart Contracts is a cool idea that cboe want to creates future of ETH

it is just bubble of a pumped altcoin bursting. it is really nothing new or strange about it. it got pumped at some point and gained a fake value that it didn't deserve so now it is losing that value because you can not keep what is not yours. so far ETH has lost 81% of that gained fake price and it still has some more left to lose although it has slowed down significantly but i do believe that there is still some dump left.

The very simple reason for ETH to drop is that a lot of ICOs sell all their ETHs to develop their own projects. This has caused ETH to fall from 500$ to 250$ in the short term. I guarantee after passing this stage ETH will quickly go up 1000$

The big whales are balancing on the stock market of crypto currencies. some times big balloons are deceiving us. And now we are the victims of it. I hope we will heal soon.

This had to happen, Eth grew with Bitcoin value rise, and now it's falling. Eth with Ico being entering into the market lead to the price rise as well, now the Ico market is also very down and thus bleeding. People now fear this fall, and they are selling it off.

Investors do not buy ETH for participation in ICO. A teams want to get cash from the ether, till it's not cheaper. Now few investors, many startups. When get a new hype, and new money will go on the market to participate in ICO, then we will able a new growth. But we have to consider that there are NEO, NEM, EOS and other platforms.

of course there are many factors that occur, I don't think you can judge them from one side only. of all the analyzes I have done, everything is related to one another as you say, but the most powerful fact is because the market is always bound by bitcoin.

Patience everyone! ICO's are selling their collected eth.
I'm waiting for eth to touch $150 to $200  ;D I'm gonna buy a truckload if it does hehe.  ;D

Ever say never! Ethereum could fall more than it is, but really who cares? Except for those who just want to end up panicking for no reason. This is one market that has really gained a huge ground and support and what affected ETH simply affected every other altcoins.

Usually, the market is speculative in nature and that gives room for series of manipulations to at least throw out weak hands, but this is just a start as I believe we have not even seen the last of this market yet once it starts being demanded for hugely.

Of course, the price of ETH is significantly different from the price that was in December last year, and many lost faith in it, so they started selling it, but personally I'm not panicking because the market is in a downward trend and the price of all coins has dropped significantly. Let's see what people will say when the market rebounds and the price of ETH grows ...

I do not know why so much emphasis was laid on only Ethereum here when indeed almost all the market experienced the same fate anyway. Eth is a very good asset to hold and like you stated, it has not outlived that purpose of being useful or as an asset and there is still much more to come in the long run. The fact that we could see a huge downtrend that ended up affecting the whole market as well as ETH, does not mean it is the end for it.

I have know abut ETH before my joining to the crypto and it has not so bad results after so many years and crypto currency market's corrections. I believe in ETH's success and I am sure it will be able to replace BTC in the nearest future so be happy for this changing.

If you were saying that just based on the current market condition, then that can't be used as the indication on the future, cause the condition of cryptocurreny market is keep on fluctuating and we can't predict it in an accurate result.

Its gotta to be the most tragic for those investors who got in while the price of ETH were more then $500. To them this is the most embarrassing of all and they might not be going back unless they hold their ETH still today and may have plans to hold it til it got up to more than $1600. God knows when probably after 10 years.

This is indeed a shocking phenomenon. Many people did not anticipate this incident, but for Ethereum this could be a better start. Ethereum will continue to rise, but need to wait for the signal of Bitcoin.

I think ethereum dont have relation with many scam project because its different developer team.
Its true ethereum price right now suffering drop more than 70% but ethereum still used by most token in market and its needed for paying transaction fee. I am believe ethereum price will recovery when cryptomarket recover again

Why do you insist on this bubble thing? If you can establish a relationship between the bubble and the bubble, you can watch it remotely. Nobody is forced to invest.

Not really a scam but unfortunate project to stuck in the outburst of scam accusations. I guess the 70%+ crypto industry runs on the smart contracts made by ETH platform. Now this makes one important sense here that it wont die so soon and wont become scam also. Most of the crypto projects are taking their payout in the form of ETH. Though recently all other options are also open for the ICO's to get funded then also majority of them are using it ETH as it is the master system in it and most of the people still fall for ETH only. Its just about the time when ETH will up rise along with the BTC too.

ETH falling is combined effect of the whole market decline, panic selling of ICOs, development delay , price correction etc.
ETH lost from it`s market share a lot, but it will recover when solve it`s issues.

I think this is the best time to buy Ethereum, I will even prefer it to go down more for me to accumulate more at cheap price. It's real that some people are manipulating the market but this won't go for long, so we should not be disturb at all

Not at all. The drop was caused by the ICOs that were fixing their profits in ETH. Imagine that almost every ICO is collecting their funds in ETH and are selling all collected tokens at one time. For sure, it will affect the price and we need more good news for ETH to recover.

it was a normal correction for the market and there is nothing in it unsatisfactory. have patience soon it will grow as the whole market
