Reasons why Ethereum will never hit zero according to Vitalik Buterin: https://cryptocoin.news/news/ethereum-co-founder-explains-why-ether-eth-will-never-hit-zero-20088/

Do you think he's right? or do you think ETH is on its way to 0?

Vitalik himself was a former Bitcoin developer and he will always have some plan to pull out from that situation if it happens.  I do not see that ETH become zero and network having some value or vice versa. But if some better product created in future then both can be zero together.

we both do not know how the future will be with the fate of Ethereum. we all can only predict, none is certain, although Vitalik is an expert, I'm sure he himself is currently thinking hard to plan for the future of Ethereum. but I am sure, Ethereum will return to 1000 USD, and I believe that Vitalik is a genius in his field, so there is no reason to worry too much, let alone to think that Ethereum will be 0 USD

The way everything has become right now in the market, it has almost become impossible to predict what might or what might not happen. I think that the trend that ethereum is taking is a pretty bad one, and with what I'm seeing, I might have to agree that if things continue like this, there is a great possibility that the coin will worth about zero at some point.

This person is obviously exposing the reral thing what is going on in the field of crypto. The price of bitcoin will not reach zero that is proved in the previous year as i can observe. So, there are many reasons behind this position.

I can not predict this that ethereum is going hold the lowest price and which is zero. As the market value of ethereum is on a satisfying level, it must hold its price and people are also increasing mining bitcoin and this nis a genious thing to say things like that.

It may not be possible to happen. As it is cotinuous process of mining and selling ethereum. It will not reach to zero. Bitcoin's price is raising in a very significant way for what the market of ethereum is holding its market value like as before.

Ethereum is a good project and with the adoption of smart contract I think this will not hit zero as many projects will be launch under ethereum platform that will makes a good opportunity to grow bigger. Although nothing is impossible considering that we had encounter a series of dumps on ethereum that gives headache to ETH holders I just hope that this is just a minor setbacks and this will return to normal trend sooner.

Eh is having a hard time, but I don't think it's going to be zero, and GUSD might help him.

The person who has made this statement has been a part of ETH for a long time. He knows how to tamper with it and what are the tricks to make it come back right on tracks. And let this be an assurance for us too that the coin will be alright in the end.

We all know that this coin has a demand globally. There will not be such a day that there will not be a single demand for ETH anywhere. Also Vaitalik was associated with ETH before. So he knows all the loop holes of saving this coin, if it ever faces a situation where it will hit zero.

This coin has been considered as the next best coin after BTC. Even though the state of the market is not good right now for ETH, we know that it will have a demand in the market somewhere in the world and will be alive.

Ethereum has a high demand, ICOs launching on the platform need ETH to run their ICOs, traders are trading ETH as well, after BTC, it is the second best coin in the space. Chances to hit ground zero is very low, especially as Vitalik himself is a professional in this space and a miner. He knows how to salvage the situations should it be that threatened.

Even if ETH had a chance to hit zero, I don't think Vitalik is going to state that amidst such interest of media. However, I do agree with Vitalik here. There are so many projects and tokens that are either dependant on ETH directly or somehow they are using ethereum's blockchain. So, ETH will have some utility left which will definitely hold the price from going down to zero.

Though Vitalik is an expert and he might have some plans to pull out from that situation. He is thinking about the future of Ethereum. ETH won’t be zero. Hope, there is nothing to worry about about. ETH will return to 1000 USD someday.

There are many reasons that will justify that etherum could not crash ever and the foremost thing in the favour of this is that etherum is very sustainable crypto currency and no doubt it has even made its existence since more than a decade and has helped thousands of people in finding their jobs and stood on the 2nd most popular and successful crypto currency after the bitcoin and those who are saying that etherum would crash because of its low valuation in present times so they should know one thing very clearly that etherum is a volatile crypto currency and thus its valuation is subject to market demand and supply.

Well It's me that lives on a cave for all these past years and Vitalik magically a bitcoin developer, as far as I know he was a journalist that write a lot of thing about cryptocurrency and bitcoin included.
However never once I know he was a former of bitcoin developer. Even he didnt say or never saying about it personally so I guess that's wrong.

Yup, I have the same with Vitalik. Ethereum will never hit zero according. It may also develop more thanks to its vast ecosystem, which is growing and its value can only grow for long-term.

What Vitalik Buterin said is right and I coat “Don’t put in more money than you can afford to lose. If you’re trying to figure out where to store your life savings, traditional assets are still your safest bet.” cryptocurrency is just like a bet which can be win or loss.

I agree with Vitalik, it's impossible for Ethereum to hit zero. I also bet that if there wasn't this downtrend, people wouldn't even have even thought about this possibility because it doesn't make sense. How could a strong project, that is used by most of the community for ICO's  and has a current a marketcap of 21.7 Billion Dollars just go to 0 ? It just doesn't make sense.

I believe in Vitalik and ETH :). I don't think there is any way that ETH, the best altcoin, can hit $0 in the future :). Although at the moment price of ETH is really low just a little bit more than $200 while ATH price of ETH is more than $1k but nobody know what will happen in the future, maybe next month, everything will be better :).

We all only can predict about what is gong to happen. It is just a hope. But I think the ETH will not become zero as it has come this far. But anything can happen in the future. But if ETH become zero then we will not have remain anything to say about other coins.

While on the platform ethereum ICO will be held, this coin will always be in demand and therefore its price can not fall to zero. If more perfect coins appear on the market, they can push the ethereum away from ICO projects and then everything can be. However, now I think that ethereum can still be considered a reliable and promising coin, which will still grow well in price.

he means ETH cant hit zero if many people still believe with ETH
sometimes when people dont believe anymore, ETH would hit zero. but i dont hope so

Ethereum is strong it can't never reach zero. After bitcoin the founder of blockchain technology now we have ethereum second on the table. It stronger

Lately there are many people creating this kind of thread, asking if ETH will be dead or hit 0 or something like that.
I think we'd better doing something better than worrying something that isn't certain yet.

Vitalik Buletin had previously in this article https://www.pulse.ng/bi/finance/finance-ethereum-founder-warns-cryptocurrencies-could-drop-to-near-zero-at-any-time-id7999075.html Advised traders and investors to only invest what they can afford to lose, as cryptocurrencies could get to the 'near zero value'.

I don't doubt his credentials in digital currency, but always verify any suggestion from top crypto individuals. He could have a personal interest that spurred him to make such announcements.
I wouldn't suggest whether what I think, as its just my personal opinion. Do your own diligence and reach your own conclusion.

This is very bad for Ethereum. If Vitalik Buterin does not stand up to nerves and it starts responding to messages on social networks, it means that Ethereum will fall further.

ETH is well-known altcoin, and also have a good use-case, even in future the better coin come, i believe ethereum still have a value, same as bitcoin was

we do not know what the future will be with Ethereum.we all can only hope, Ethereum will return to 1000 USD.I believe that Vitalik is a genius.so there is no reason to worry because Ethereum will not be 0 USD.

I think bitcoin, Ethereum and other coin almost same, get valued from people and market. And market can happen from people who still believe it. Actually something like that can be happen but maybe need long time for it.

We try to predict the future of ETH. we as a whole can just anticipate none is sure in spite of the fact that Vitalik is a specialist. I'm certain he himself is as of now considering every option to get ready for the eventual fate of Ethereum.

we do not know what happen in the next or the future will be with Ethereum. i think Ethereum will return to 1000 USD and Vitalik also genius.so dont worry ethereum will be doing something good in future.

Time will tell. Of course Ethereum is a cool product with a very strong team. Now the price has fallen due to unscrupulous ico, now all will be eliminated and the price will fly into space!

the beginning of the blockchain is laid, and even if it does not have value in the world, people earn on it, and we can also earn

we do not know what the future will be with Ethereum.we all can only guess that Ethereum will return to 1000 USD and also Vitalik is a genius.so don't worry because Ethereum will not be 0 USD. it will come back his own track.

Vitalik Buterin is one of the most recognized faces of the digital cryptocurrency revolution. But it makes much sense even Vitalik doesn't make predictions about the future of Ethereum with precise judgments. Everything is possible in this market.

I don't really  know for sure why Buterin said what he said and if it is actually true. Sometimes, I try to look at it like it is just a bluff, and like someone said, maybe he's just trying to get the weak hands off the coin. I hope that it is what it is. Because I still believe so much in Ethereum and think that it can be great again.

ethereum has passed the point where it can drop to $0. but that does not mean that a price of 1 dollar would not be possible, even if it is very unlikely.

If you were waiting for a time when Ethereum will drop to $0 then sorry it’s not going to happen and I think he’s right. The price is already recovering and ETH is still very strong and able to compete, trust. Last two weeks or so, the price was at hundred dollars, but since this week it has been recovering and we already have the price at $230. Through out last week some people were saying it was a really good time to buy and hold ETH, and that’s the absolute truth.

$0 for ETH is very unlikely. It can happen if Bitcoin falls under $1000. But it will mean that crypto is dead.

It is very impossible for ethereum to go down to zero. In terms of transaction speed, transaction fee, number of supported tokens, strong community and team members, ETH is exceptional. The power of their blockchain can also match with bitcoin or maybe even better. ETH stays as number 2 in the market for a long time so only narrow minded can only say that ETH will go down to zero.

I don't think either that eth would go down to zero considering that the follower of this platform is great. There maybe problems now but i am sure that the developers of this platform will solve this thus eliminating these FUDs that are circulating on the net.

He is right, ethereum will never hit zero, it has a use case and still undergoing development to make ethereum coin better, zero value for ethereum is not possible.

0$ is very unlikely, even $10 is also very unlikely.
I think Vitalik Buterin is right when he says, so deep, the price will not fall.

indeed now ethereum has many problems and also many complaints to ethereum, but this does not mean to be the end of ethereum. ethereum's fall was a reaction from the market and normal things that often happened to any coin.

No one can certainly predict the future of Ethereum if it will still continue to be relevant in the nearest future. But I don't think Ethereum can go back to zero even if the future is not in favor of it. To me, I even believe that sooner or later Ethereum will value more than $1000, am so much bullish about Etheruem.

Even if Eth price is falling down I have still hope that this project will rise soon, it's still one of main blockchain with lots of project that are developing their products using it.  Also, team is one of most skilled compared to other crypto. So I'm quite confident that this is only a bad period and that will finish soon

IMHO now there are hundreds of ICO that waiting for the good period of time to start) Eth is the most popular blockchain for ICOs. Think about what will be with the price.

ETH lost its second position to XRP for a second with the price not even reach $1 lol never saw that one coming...

Also, Tom Lee thinks ETH will recover. Let's hope he's right :o

I do not understand why many people believe that ETH can reach 0 ??? This coin takes the second place in terms of capitalization among all coins, its technology is very important for the industry of crypto-currencies namely ERC-20 tokens, and market conditions do not allow the price of ETH to grow. So you do not need to develop a panic, everything will be fine.

I think that the ETH project in the near future cannot simply be lower than $ 200, provided that all the same there will be a market reversal, because as soon as the market starts to unfold, all the same people will begin to understand that it is time to invest.

If we assume that the ether will fall to zero, it is terrible to imagine what will happen to all other crypto-currencies, an absolute collapse  8). Ethereum has a strong development team, the real application and the development plan.  I don't believe that the ETH will fall even below$150.

It will zero for true if something more advance than blockchain or ethereum crash then im very sire it will going to be zero. We can guess but we cannot be sure a this was a billion of dollar project that will never die just like that without a fight right. I trust on ethereum and will support it forever.

Ethereum is not on its way to zero, there are way too many people invested in the coin for it to go back to zero. That is the factor that matters the most when it comes to the value of a coin, the human factor. As long as people are still buying and selling and trading on the coin then there is always going to be value to it and vitalik is right

ETH will overcome the hard time facing nowadays and with the existing coins on the market I do not see such a scenario coming that ETH goes to Zero. In the future, when new coins and technologies enter the market everything is possible.

Before Ethereum will go to zero, more than half of all cryptocurrencies will be non existent. There are lots of altcoins that provide no utility and they haven't gone to zero, I don't see Ethereum doing so.

Can you imagine what kind of panic will start when the price of Bitcoin falls below $ 4000? Most people will start massively distributing their bitcoins hoping to return at least part of the investment. I think this scenario is close.

ETH is a great coin with a great background!

Ethereum hitting zero, never. But it might drop some notches or possibly have already dropped. From where it is now, it will certainly be a steady growth. Vitalik knows The prowess of Ethereum and will always cushion it to ensure a sustainable future and an attractive price for investors.

I think if etherium doesn't scale soon many of the dapps it has are going to move to other blockchains like eos, which is already fast and has no fees.

When the price crashes, you hear many voices that want either to pick a chance to critisize Ethereum or to increase the panic situation by posting such claims. However, Ethereum has big holders who believe in its future and in Vitalik's view for Ethereum.
