Bitcoin Forum

Buterin talked about the Ethereum developer community is working on proposals to make gas payments in ETH at the protocol level, which could prevent the ETH price collapse.

The recent post on TechCrunch titled ‘The Collapse of ETH is Inevitable’, by crypto entrepreneur Jeremy Rubin, has caused a major uproar in the Ethereum community. Jeremy in his blog post wrote that a price collapse is soon to follow due to the failure to scale and adopt better and secure contract authoring practices.

Now that Ethereum has encountered strong support, it will not continue to decline in the short term. Unless Bitcoin declines, Ethereum should be able to stabilize. But in the long run, Ethereum has no value for investment. You can consider ETC.

I didn't know that gas for execution of smart contract tokens is payed in native tokens instead in Ethers. Now they want to change it, Okay fine, but there are so many proposals currently going on in the ETH platform, including PoS, plasma, who knows what else. So many things they have to fix or improve. Doesn't look good.

Relying on the market to locate then Ethereum is indeed depreciating, because coins other than it are rising. Perhaps the bubble of smart contracts has begun to burst.

Usually when bitcoin goes up, ethereum price rises along with it like all the other altcoins. But this time, bitcoin has already increased many times but eth remained in the 300 level. I think eth is bound to crash. Many other coins has been developed answering to every little lapse the eth community has experienced. So if eth will.not catch up it will collapse

i don't think eth will easily collapse ,i think its just a rumors to let ppl sell and start another eth blood bath

There's a number of blockchains offering what ETH does with superior speeds. However the ETH brand is still to strong to disappear completely.

Never count out ETH. Buterin is a genius technologically, just needs to get the business/economic/market mastery. I'm sure ETH will continue to be strong in the short to mid term

It seems like so, by seeing and observing the market in this past few weeks. The ethereum got totally dump to bits and the price is lower than 25% of its peak price, but still lots of people are hoping that it would go up in the following weeks.

I think that could happen, collapse could hit other altcoins and even Bitcoin, I think if Ethereum did not seriously build their platform to be better in the security sector, then I think the collapse would become a reality, for now Ethereum still remains stable and looks in trend positive, I think Ethereum will last a long time

I agree with this. With people sympatizing at the currect etc situation, it will probably boost again the popularity of the users. Ethereum only needs attention, or somewhat something that will trigger its way up again. There is no need to worry. Etc is strong and will no burst.

I can assume that the Ethereum is brought down specifically, I think that will fall to $ 100, the bubble burst. We must pay tribute to Butorin and the team who are trying to improve the situation for the better and raise the Ethereum.

Many other coins has been developed answering to every little lapse the eth community has experienced.but, for the past one month now, eth is not improving at all, so if it continues like this , it might collapse.

more like heading to get replace by other coin.

indoubt it and i think taht ethereum is going to be on topmagain as the problems it is dealing with are not so drwadful

well we will see there is no piont in arguing but i think that ethereum will hold its position for a long long time since now

If it's not bitcoin dying then ethereum is for sure,  I don't think etherium will die so eazy, you can't forget all of the tokens that are on etherium blockchain atm, but that can change eazy fast.

Ethereum will live on. Collapse? the market is just stagnating and correcting the value nothing more nothing less...

I don't think so, because it's impossible. many people who have invested in ethereum if ethereum dies everyone will lose. and that is another reason why ethereum is not dead is that many projects are made using the ethereum platform

The price of ethereum fell very much when we compared to the bitcoin and other its rivals but it doesn't means that it will collapse,people were still talking that ethereum might over take bitcoin interms of market capitalization in few years and I too believe that it will happen.

It has been moving down constantly in the current market situation which is quite obvious as most the ICO's which raised funds are now panic selling and dumping the ETH and eventually they will halt or abandon their projects. ETH will be fine in the long run but for the coming few months we may see it below $200 or even $150.

At this price, nothing can break Ethereum ! I'm a development team will never hurt your coin ! Especially the Ethereum team !

Maybe there are problems that we do not know about? Why do people allow the ETH project to be on such grades as now? I think that this is not normal? Think it's okay? It seems to me that ETH clearly should be about $ 500

I think all of them have time, eth has reached its peak in the beginning of the year and now eth is down or falling badly. But I am sure eth developers will not be silent and will provide innovations or other things that can make eth recover. The eth community is also still loyal and solid to continue to support and hold eth as a valuable asset.

The collapse of the Etherium will not be, because Buterin with the team is constantly updating the platform ...

I think it ia normal for now.
In my predict the first ETH will going down until end of this month.
After it ETH will grow until December.
And maybe ETH will hit 700$.

it looks like it, the chart looks horrible right now, they're probably heading for lows from 2-3 years ago

here are some support levels if anyone cares

There will always be such speculations and over a number of times, such articles from so called crypto experts keep on popping saying ETH is dying, new ALT is going to take over ETH and things like that, but did it ever happened?

Personally, I do not see ETH going back to 2 digit value anymore and I am still expecting a new ATH in 2019.

At this time last year, ETH also faced a plunging situation. After that, the market conditions gradually improved.

I believe Ethereum will not die any time soon. At the moment, Ethereum has competitors who want to take the place of Ethereum, and spread rumors. Also, the price of Ethereum depends on investments in it, and recently everyone is trying to withdraw money from it. So for now, this cryptocurrency is not easy. But I am sure that another 2 years is a good investment.

I think ETH will survive. During last 2 years I saw many market dumps but ETH always survived. And as we know it always gets price higher than previous time. Let's wait)

Well, in my opinion, we should focus on holding, not worry about the ETH coin, in my opinion this coin will make growth up again and it will never collapse.

I don't think Eth will totally collapse. Dev team working hard for the development of ethereum network and with eth 2.0 many eth issues will be resolve. I'm reading many people seems to not like the idea of sharding since it can weaken the security but I think with proper implementation this will make ethereum network robust and powerful. Right now, many believe that ICO's dumping their eth creating big dip and reaching 12 month low of $218. Speculators still think it will go down as low as $100-150. I believe in eth and will continue to hodl.

It seems like it, but I'm really hoping that it doesn't. Why? I have so much faith in this coin, and I have come to really love and cherish it, I cannot begin to imagine losing this coin, or seeing it crash just like that. I hope that the coin bounces back, and surprises all that have called it all sorts of name, and make people believe in it once again.

The eth does not please recently and every day it's somehow sadder to watch the charts. Eth already last year showed miracles and did not fall when bitcoin scared everyone with his jumps. And now something completely unexplained is happening. Even Vitalik Buterin does not rejoice in his interviews, as if he does not believe in the crypto and promise to speedy recovery is not in a hurry. I do not think that the market is so manipulative, most likely without advertising about enrichment and big ups, interest falls to it, as well as to other cryptocurrencies...

Currently + 7,69%

Ethereum has a very good platform for creating tokens ! Advanced and unique blockchain ! Ethereum won't die !

Previously, it was very similar to the truth, but now it seems to me that the situation with the ETH project is beginning to straighten up, think for yourself, it's one of the biggest projects that can be in crypts, can it just disappear?

Jeremy Rubin is not a source I would put much faith in when it comes to pronouncements about Ethereum. He is still angry that a tweet that called one of his projects a scam was liked by Vitalik Buterin. He even wrote a blog post about it. https://rubin.io/blog/2017/09/01/ethereum-censorship-fuck-nazis/  Sorry, but this guy talking about Ethereum is about as credible as Roger Ver talking about Bitcoin.

No it is not. The simple reason why ethereum fell in price. Basically many people bought ethereum and spent it on ICO tokens, which caused ethereum price to skyrocket and get the second place from litecoin aka "silver to bitcoins gold" and now still standing at second place even after the price went down so much and everyone is fearing for the drops.

However, when the bear market hit, those ICO people you sent ethereum to started to sell their ethereums, they started to get rid of the funds they have and get cash instead and use that to improve their coins while at the same time we are in a bear market. Which means there is no chance in hell ethereum is heading for a collapse, its just bad timing.

Ethereum is attacked by everyone but really there are other coins that have a huge blockchain with lots of transactions like this, excluding Bitcoin?
I think that every other coin will have same ETH problem or even worse with such a traffic....

Ethereum is not limited. Tune in for a long-term perspective and protect your investments from short-term market drawdowns.

Ethereum is an excellent project, scarred and delayed by the incompetence and sheer stupidity of its asocial / amoral founder Vitalik Buterin,
here is a great analysis of the situation that I read in response to the recent Gas debate:

"Main issue is Vitalik is all talk no action. Development on Ethereum is too slow and updates usually have minor fixes that don’t address the bigger issues. Casper got delayed so many times ppl say it’s vaporware. Went from 2017 to now 2019 release date.

We always hear these (allegedly) visionary ideas but nothing really materialises... Meanwhile many competing projects are producing superior blockchain solutions even solutions that don’t require gas"

No, not a chance if you did follow Ethereum's news.

No!  So when are you guys really going to understand cryptocurrencies. They are volatile folks and therefore its price is not constant.

really what you say, actually many people who joined this forum who did not understand further about the character of crypto currencies including ethereum, this is not the beginning of ethereum's death, the price often changes

No other coin can't replace Ethereum, not this year not next year. Yes there are some good maked platform coins, but Ethereum doesn't stand still, its Development goes on! 

I don't  think Ethereum is collapsing, I believe the world of crypto has been relatively volatile this year, but Ethereum has been doing relatively well. I believe Ethereum would bounce stronger  at the right time pretty soon. Ethereum still remains the best altcoin in my opinion.

As long as there's a community that's supporting a coin, it won't collapse as easy as that crypto entrepreneur does.

How can you pull down a coin that has the second largest cap in the entire crypto market? there would be ways if there are bad news and that makes the people to pull out their money but for sure it will be transferred to another altcoin that they would support.

Fortunately the strong fall of ethereum seems to have stopped in recent days, allowing a great respite for those of us who were waiting for the worst scenario for ethereum. In fact, even the outlook seems to show some slight recovery, although it is still too early to dismiss the possibility of an eventual collapse below $100.

Anyway, I think any attempt that can be made now to forecast the price of ether is banal and useless. If nobody could anticipate a few months ago that ether would suffer an 85% drop these days, it will be difficult to predict any other important event in the ethereum universe.

Ethereum is experiencing serious downfall nowadays. But i don't think it will continue to fall. I still believe that ethereum is one of the best coin in the market. So it has the ability to recover anytime soon.

Well, he also laid out his opinions about crypto. That doesn't mean hw was right or not. Inmy opinion, with my little experience I've got in crypto over the past months, I think you can predict nothing.

I don't think so, I think that ETH is too big to fail, for it to collapse I would have to lower the volume enormously, something that so far has not happened, I think that the recent falls are a product of the bear market that we are going through, and undoubtedly ethereum had been one of the least impacted until now.

Imwill correct you don't called ethereum no value investment, ethereum is one of the most popular coin follow to king of all coin bitcoin, i think people support ethereum like the support for the king.

Just relax and wait tye bull of tpthe father and son goes into the market in the suprise days or minths even a year the important is cryptocurrency will goes uprise again in the coinmarketcap either i am waiting for a year or years.

No, Etereum is actually heading to a new beginning. According to Buterin Ethereum 2.0 will launch in near future, so they are actually developing things for more better output. Buterin's innovation worked fine till now, so when he will update it, it will be much better I think.

People will take negativity out no matter what you will bring. It's normal if someone lost his money he will tell 100 people about it, but if he made fortune on cryptocurrency, he will tell probably 1 person about it.

Because they are not learning more about crypto and basically these guys are only interesting to get instant profit through trading. A lot of them are lack of knowledge about what the crypto is.
A big correction will always be happened anytime. Remember this has become a serious problem in the crypto.

Probably can be. Since ethereum is right now only used to pays fees for ico tokens, it can collapse soon. They need to do something to change this way for using ETH or I don't think it will last for a long time.

I do not think so. The coin is probably really suffering right now, but it is so much to start thinking that it is actually heading for a collapse. This is really not what is going to happem. The coin might suffer for a little more time, but trust me, it isn't going to collapse. As a matter of fact, I strongly believe that it will bounce back stronger.

I think ETH will keep on going down but it won't go as low as $150 USD. If it goes below $150, that is the time that I will believe that ethereum will or can collapse. Although I am still expecting a great recovery from ETH, if there are news that ETH is bound to collapse, maybe it's true. Not much that I can do about it but to accept whatever happens.  I'll wait and see for now.

No way. Just because the price is going down does not mean ETH is collapsing.
ETH is just going on a normal interval of the market when it is down. It will go up and represent the real value soon.

No, I do not think so. This isn't the lowest the coin has been, and I think that it is going to survive all of this, and come out stronger. I believe that all that the coin needs right now is just some time, and people who are willing to stand by it. It won't take so much time until it becomes great again.

always expect the ETH price to go up, a few days ago the ETH market price was very low and I immediately tried to bet on the capital I had by buying ETH and now the ETH price began to grow little by little. I will wait for the ETH price to rise high, to make a sale.

As of the moment, Ethereum is just going to a phase, which happens to every other coin or token in the market. Once Ethereum releases its updates and address the concerns of the platform like scalability and high fees then it should be able to return to its former glory.

I don't think so it's a market drop down that's why ethereum price is going down its not collapse ethereum and it will recover soon and i am very hopefully for ethereum strong come back.

Ethereum will get tired in this difficult time. I believe that the price of Ethereum will come back and Ethereum will be even stronger. A strong team will be able to raise Ethereum and the moon. There will be no collapse !!!!

Too many smart people appeared lately, don't you find? Many experts, whose opinion is not worth a penny. I ask you, less believe "analysts" and "experts." Think more with your own head and analyze the processes that occur in the market. It will bring you more benefits. Crypto is still very young. Very few people really understand the situation ...
