eth devs has planned a hardfork on 16th jan to halve the block reward of eth to controll the inflation.. what do you think how it is gonna effect the eth price plus sholud we hold some eth for the fork

Less supply coming to market should mean less selling pressure and more chance for ETH price to increase but I think that all of that will be overridden by the overall market trend. ETH needs people to be using the coin, for ICOs or dapps etc. The problem with ETH is that in a bull the price will sky rocket as supply is eaten up by these projects but during a bear market there is less demand from ICOs and dapps and a lot of selling pressure from past funds becoming available.

Ethereum community has 2 upcoming events. Halving and this fork. I think these events will be good. But I trust in Vitalik mostly. Vitalik has great brain. He is very clever man and will be great soon.

after seeing this post, I think you have sold eth and got some benefits. from February ethereum still has a good price and currently eth prices are down. the best idea is eth will do hardfork by 2019. maybe i will buy ethereum and save it .

The hard fork has already been announced and postponed. Let's see if it goes through this time. I don't like the habit of Ethereum developers to postpone their already announced solutions. To be fair, a lot is at stake, most of all the integrity of the network. I don't think that halving the block reward is the best solution for the already bloated system, but who knows. On the other hand, halving means reducing inflation, and it may have some positive effect for the ETH holders, if Ethereum doesn't break up in the process. I think that the design of Ethereum was flawed from the very beginning, and now it's showing up its problems.

I think it will be a very good plan or idea if Hardfork happens in the beginning of next year (2019), for now looking at market conditions, especially looking at price charts Ethereum sometimes I feel sad. But it does not reduce my love for Ethereum. I hope that as soon as possible all return to recovery.

rally i have not heard the news but haven't ethereum made a hard fork before why now ? and how much this will effect the ethereum ? i hope it will effect it positively

Vitalik is a very smart man, but what he think is the best for Ethereum isn't necessarily the best for miners or holders. So it all depends on what is your role in Ethereum ecosystem.

People need to know that this date is not sacrosanct, it is possible they move it, for me Ethereum developers are not serious, Bitcoin have Halving event programmed into the network but Ethereum developers just keep playing politics with their scaling solution, if ICO market shift away from the platform I don't see the future in the NEtwork

if the news is true, it is very extraordinary, and I am sure it will affect the ETH price on the exchange, because many of the systems will use it, may I know, where you found the information, I want to read it myself

Is there a reliable link about this one? i meant about there was a news from the developer of ethereum if they will try to do another hardfork in the next month? that will be very interesting to read it directly.

Very few information about this hardfork. I have some in Bittrex. And wondering i should keep it there or move to anyother exchange before the hardfork happens.

where can you get this news? did you get this news from a trusted source, I am very interested in this news I hope you can include the source of this news.

it should no longer have any serious effects on the long term price of it because there is already a very huge supply of it available and also with their hard fork to change the algorithm to proof of stake they will be basically giving away a lot of free coins to the whales who will in turn dump them right away without touching their main coins and that can crash the market hard.

so you think this hard fork will be in vain and will dump them alone? even affect the market to be worse than it is now? if so, why would they want to do it? I am confused.

I really hope that everything will go on time, because lately everyone has a habit of postponing the launch of products!

After the news came out, the news was immediately discussed in various online media, one of which was coinspeaker.com

https://www.coinspeaker.com/ethereum-constantinople-hard-fork-block-number-7080000

Ethereum is a trusted brand but it has been dumped really badly during this bear market which could put investors off in future. Also the competition from cardano and tezos needs to be factored in as they are built to scale better than ethereum

This even can be important for Eth "reinassance" but the real problem is still the ICO crisis because if there is no demand for them, less people will continue to buy ethereum in order to participate to them...

Here is the first sign that nothing will help the ether and it becomes more difficult to develop it than to create a new fork. Soon he, like Bitcoin cash, will merge into one of the forks.

The hardfork for bitcoin didn't go so well so i am not very optimistic about ethereum hardfork either. Also i think it is coming at a very wrong time as the prices of the whole crypto industry is down and already the market is in a free fall so i don't know if this event can bring any good chance in these hard times of the crypto world.

The expected outcome is definitely extremely bullish due to this upgrade but due to the current terrible market situation we cannot say what will exactly happen, i am hopeful we will see some trend reversal and recovery for eth.

After hard fork waiting for a small increase, twenty to thirty percent.  Perhaps this will be the beginning of the next bull rally.

Honestly, I very much hope that this plug will bring a positive result to this coin and Ethereum will stop falling so much and make a rebound!

It is not impossible for ethereum to be pumped on January or before that hardfork since that smells and instant cash and a free income to fill bags. It may also become a reason for ethereum to take over the second spot again so we have to collect as many as ethereum as we can before that happens. One thing is for sure, it will not become the same as BCH hardfork that caused a market manipulation. This is not the first time for ethereum to be on a hardfork.

Well Vitalik is very smart and he wont do the fork if it will not be good for ethereum maybe one of the reason why he will make it because he just want ethereum to have a partner and seeing having a partner will make a big success .

I'd say to think of nothing though when there are forks about to come, price do reacts and its increasing.

But this time, ETH devs are just following it's roadmap and this is just another upgrade that they shall make. There will be no coin to get as an additional or freebie by holding ETH on your wallets. I'll expect nothing will happen to the prices but I want some buff.

Ethereum hardfork is not like Bitcoin hardfork, the Ethereum hardfork will not result into any split of Ethereum, you can call it an upgrade in the core that the only way to do it will be by hardfork. Nothing bad can or will come for Ethereum hardfork we can only wait for positive effects, this hardfork is long waited for and 100% of Ethereum supporter are waiting for it.

I hope that it will give effects to the ethereum price so the price can increase back to the higher price. Although maybe it's not too high, at least we can sell the ethereum we have that we bought right now and made a profit. Usually, when the coins having a hard fork, the price will increase because there is a new coin from the fork and people can get a free coin too. But I don't know what will happen before or after the ethereum hard fork, and I will wait for this.

I think it's a good move for the network sustainability and i would have appreciate if they can even go lower like reducing it to 1/3 of the current reward so that the price will rise up more.

it will make absolutely no difference.

This market is doomed. Will die soon.

I afraid that we will see something similar to BCH - after the fork ETH will drop in price and the total price of both coins will be lower than the price of ETH before the fork.

All of the hardforks that are being made are becoming a major problem which is one of the reasons why the prices of the coins are dropping to fast right now. We really do not need more coins, what we need right now is more volume and more concentration of money into a coin like bitcoin which determines the entire market and not more coins

I hope this update revives the price of ethereum. Even if the price does not increase, but also does not fall further, i would be very satisfied. All my hopes are for this update.

what is clear is that it will affect the price of ETH, I'm sure another decline will occur if all the shares have been completed. I hope everyone holder ETH even longer

I was not aware that there will be a ETH hard fork. But I guess the devs really need to do it to salvage was has left with ETH right now because the price has lost so much value in the last 10 months alone.

But I don't think this will be effective though, we have seen a lot of fork coins not being successful in the long run like BCH, hope though that I'm wrong.

Hardfork this will bring the ecosystem better, opening early ethereum 2.0 and consensus PoS. I think price will rise-up a little but to year 2019 market crypto and another will change too will see as soon as possible.

As soon Ethereum Devs Meeting 52 Agenda at 4th January - Constantinople Progress
Calm down buddy.... :D

we believe currently the market a sudden-hit, heard of crypto will not die as soon as possible while the blockchain is still there including the internet is still live!!

Thats what probably affecting the price of ethereum right now. But let just take also to look at the bright side of ethereum if this fork gonna be successful. We can see some good pump and expect that we will no longer see its price go red.

It is hoped this will hardfork can change the result or the direction of the ethereum. prices continue to fall and bought a lot to wait for hardfork to arrive can be a benefit. However this also sometimes will give you a loss if hardfork give bad impact and it is not even certain whether the result is good and not.

The whole point of doing it to stop the bleeding on ethereum so I don't doubt it will have some positive affects on the price. They probably already did market research on this subject and already done their tests for it and came out with a result that says it would be beneficial for ethereum to get this fork in order to save it from this horrible market.

Either it will go higher a bit or it will stay but have a positive long term affects but no matter what the outcome will be the team probably already done some research on the subject so this is not just winging it out of their heads. We wouldn't know why or how without talking to them personally but I doubt they will come to bitcointalk and find this post to talk to us about the research they have done previously about the subject.

Write in the title that hardwork Constantinople will take place on 16th january 2019 this is a mistake. At the last meeting the developers of Ethereum chose the block on which this happens (No. 7080000).
More interesting information is that they discussed the ProgPoW update.

Prices might go up after the fork but its not because of the issuance reduction, they will go up when it looks like the fork is succesful without issues like they had with the test net earlier.

If it was meant to go up due to the reduced supply then it would of rallied when it was announced that the block reward is getting reduced but instead nothing happened.

So the supply reduction is already priced in and won't have a reflection on price.

This is a positive news, both psychologically and materially, psychologically Ethereum is in the area of purchase, this news will give rise to dew. In the material, all holders will receive additional coins. So I think a stiff fork will do you good.

If the date does not get postponed again,i guess it will help the price of ETH but may not be as expected because the truth is that,ETH need bull run to rise.The moment investors start investing in ICO again,ETH will surely rise and this can only happen when we have bull run.

it will be interesting, do you think this could go wrong, and send ETH down

hopefully this update will revive the ethereum price. if this update does not help, i know nothing more, which can save the price of ethereum. i am really curious how this update will work.

Constantinople isn't necessarily good news for the short-term price. The price drops this year have meant a decrease in hash rate as mining becomes unprofitable. The upcoming fork will now reduce mining reward, and will will likely drop the hash rate further.
It's difficult to predict what will happen, but a fork does not always mean a chain split into two ongoing sustainable rival coins, and also it doesn't always mean instant price rises.
What we do know is that Constantinople (or something similar) is necessary for the development of ETH to continue. So likely the longer-term impact will be positive - but short-term, who knows?

Me too >:( I don't like the event hardfork like BitcoinCash. Any airdrops from ETH Hardfork? it will be good for the price of ethereum.
as I see many project got ETH as much in ICO, hope they don't sell as much they own

at least we can still take advantage of the moment when many people start buying so the price will be pumped up, and we can get profits there by trading in the short term

I think if the price gets the pump, it will be another chance for us to sell our ethereum. But if there is no higher pump, we need to wait for longer to see the price increase. I wonder and hope that the price can increase regarding with the ethereum hard fork so I can sell my ethereum at the high price.  Even if there is no pump happen, I can wait for more because I think ethereum can increase higher in the next years.

I think ethereum can definitely rise in price, but it will not touch the price of ATH last year, even though hardfork events are held even in January. because it will be a long time for ethereum to be like last year

We talked about ETF a month ago. We didn't get a result from there. Then we started talking about BAKKT. Until today we did not get a result there. Now we're slowly talking to Constantinople. I hope we can get a result. A positive result!

Like the previous hardfork. hardfork moment is indeed a pretty good thing to get a profit even though we don't participate in the hardfork. but we take advantage of the moment

Hopefully, this hardfork has a positive impact on the price of ethereum.
Otherwise i do not believe that ethereum is really a good altcoin.

I hope that the team will do everything right and this hardfork will correct the situation with Ethereum and thereby attract investors, which will have a good effect on the price!

It is advisable to hold some ethereum coins to participate in fork. We don't know, maybe by doing so you can cover up this for your total loss in the market. But I am just saying, the decision lies on you.

Good news surrounds eth holders, this can provide benefits if the hard fork eth can be realized properly.
Eth strength will be seen and will give a good surprise in crypto.

If Hadrfork happened on January 16, I think this is a good thing, the effect of Hardfork is to be able to increase the price of ethereum and that can be a hope for ethereum to get up.

In any case, we see that a team is difficult on a project is good. After all, perhaps in Q1 we will see new heights from ETH. There is not much time left until the end of the year, and it will soon be clear where we all aspire to.

the future fork of ethereum constantinople will have no effect on the end users, there will not be 2 different tokens will only be an improvement of the blockchain

You can see the price of BCH after the hard fork has occurred. Everything depends on the developer, if everyone believes the results of the hard fork have great potential, then each investor will glance at the results of the hard fork and otherwise. Surely, if a hard fork will affect the price of a coin, each investor will focus on buying as many coins as possible.

If you look at hardfork cases on previous altcoins, this will affect to the price of coins in the market. So we have to hold ETH from now on, because the hype will take place before hardfork occurs, and after that the price will come back to drop. Be a smart people and don't fomo.  ;)

This is very cool news, which can again raise the cost of ETH, which is now very cheap, surely to say that the ETH project will continue to develop as long as there is potential in this. And as we know, many bankers understand that ETH is simply needed to be

No not need compare it with bch hardfork, there is one coin will be after fork not two chains.
And this fork is not real for, this network update by fork

Constantinople fork schedule for 16th of January that will lead to ether halving which translate to halve reward in ethereum mining should create a rally in the price of ether in cryptocurrency market. The lower the supply the higher the price and demand! This is a good news!

It can have both a positive and negative impact on the market. As you said, the block reward will be halved or even more. But Constantinople update is required as it will pave the path to Proof-of-Stake(PoS).

A good position as a whole, but it also seems to me that the situation with BCH as a whole I carry only situations in which the situation can really get worse. I can confidently say only that today BCH cannot say anything because situations can be completely different.

You can't compare this with a bch fork. It is somethin anticipating for very long time.

And i am expecting a pump even it can trigger the bull market starts with bakkt and everything.

Is this just another FORK or this is the said ETHEREUM 2.0?
I hope this one will pull the ETH price in the market to a good one.
unlike the BCH FORK that made the price fall huge.

it would be really good if the fork would bring new life to ethereum, but i am not sure because the market is unpredictable. i think that the price will not change at first and the positive effects will only be visible in price over the course of time.

That's right, no one here will say anything about this, because now a bullish trend is already forming on the market, see for yourself. And the BAKKT information will only improve the situation on the market. Now it's best to do it this way, start investing.

For sure it will affect the price of ethereum because many people are trying to participate in the upcoming hard fork. So many people are buying ethereum from now, until the said fork date.

I think that many are waiting for this event. I hope that everything will be successful and the update will finally happen. This can have a positive effect on the price.

Not yet but as soon as possible, this’s a open beginning of ethereum 2.0 and hardfork is just take a step function for the mass-adoption more consensus PoS and a stability the ecosystem.

I think the Hardfork is mostly Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including core protocol specifications, client APIs, and contract standards.

Next meeting Agenda Devs

what changes could be positive for the  price in your opinion? I think lowering of reward for miners is one of the crucials changes. Inflation will decrease and in long term this will be good for the price.

if indeed it is good then it is better to buy ETH from now because when it is near hardfork the price will tend to rise because of the many who buy, and this is a good opportunity to follow from now on.

This hardfork will surely have a positive influence also on the development of ethereum.
At least that is my opinion about the hardfork.
I am looking forward to it and can hardly wait for it.

As far as I know, the Constantinople hard fork wiil consist of updates that improve Ethereum’s features and will move it to a Proof of Stake (PoS) model. Moreover, with PoS, the inflation could drop to around 0.5–1% on the network.

The future of ETH is dependent on the upcoming hark fork. I hope there is something positive for ETH because with me ETH seems to have come to the bottom and it can die, If ETH is like BTC, the next hark fork will make ETH go down below $ 50

I am hope what its happened finally at 16th January, how we know dev team leave for him alarm switch which can postpone update if something going wrong

Many people today still invest in ETH, because ETH in January will have serious prices, I am sure that today many investors will have the opportunity to invest in ETH, because today there are very cheap prices for coins.

it seems to me that the price may even sink even more strongly as the mining is already unprofitable right now

Now this can not be, usually it is always the other way around and today the market demonstrates it, because the market today is definitely trying to invest its time and money in the project. ETH is a strong project that will live for a long time.

Can someone recommend good article about this hardfork to me? I want to know more technical details. Thank you.

One improvement included in this upgrade is EIP 1234 [Constantinople Difficulty Bomb Delay and Block Reward Adjustment]. This is the proposal that has been garnering the most attention and to which i am also fascinated about. This new update reduces the mining reward from 3 ETH to 2 ETH which will reduce the yearly inflation of the coin. The goal of this is ultimately to drive the price higher, as we know that when there is less of something it becomes worth more.
I look forward to this upgrade, that it may benefit all the Ethereum enthusiasts most especially the investors.

So far, I think Constantinople will not affect the price of Ethereum, today unfortunately broke the support line and rather more likely to go again to look for the bottom

I don't believe in all those so called fork routine. It has just turned to an avenue for some greedy devs to make money out of thin air. It's becoming very rampant in this industry. From one fork to another.

I think before and after this hardfork we will have +5% & -5% in price change.. the price doesn't have very affected exactly

Found this article on crypt potato... They arr talking about 3 hardforks of ethereum

"Classic Vision Hard Fork – 11 Jan 2019: All Ethereum holders will receive 3 ETCV for each ETH in their wallets.
Ethereum Nowa Fork – 12 Jan 2019: Each ETH holder receives ETN in the ratio of 1:1 for free.
Constantinople Fork – 16 Jan 2019 (or earlier) Constantinople Mainnet hard fork scheduled for block #7080000: The Constantinople Mainnet hard fork is arguably the most significant fork because it is a big component of Ethereum’s transition from using a proof of work protocol to proof of stake."

I think there is nothing wrong with holding your coins cause when they split the network you will have both coins available in your wallet and erc20 tokens will reflect on both networks. It’s then left for the exchanges to determine which one of the two tokens they will be ready to support ,and most of them are likely to support the one which is more popular .

hardfork to ethereum in this period is expected to be hardfork which could improve the system from ethereum. ethereum including coins and with hardfork which will arrive will be able to make investors become the ethereum because certainly will experience an increase in value. This effect will have a volume ethereum made it big enough.

I have searched for the official website  of Constantinople fork but I have found only a few articles that talk about this frok without referring to the web  site or Twitter account?

If I'm not mistaken, Constantinopole is one of the series of upgrades for the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum 2.0 is the final result of all the upgrades. Constantinopole is set to improve the efficiency of the ethereum network.

Will binance exchange support this hard fork and will other platforms support this or is it not news yet

Yes. Binance made an announcement earlier:

https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021495791-Binance-Will-Support-the-Upcoming-Ethereum-Constantinople-Hard-Fork

I think the growth price of ETH should definitely happen, but I don’t understand exactly how the fork will happen, we will be given a new ETH !?

Still speculations and until we are not seeing anything it will remain as it is, the fork might improve the system and might solve issues about the previous chain, the price of ETH is continuing to grow and fomo's still hyping we should see the actual effect after this fork and what would be the offer of this new one.

The storm of news that January 16 will still be a real push, but it seems to me that the intensity of the passions will be held back by more serious people, because prices are supported not just like that, now the world economy is very well and skillfully working for the recession, you understand what I mean is this all saying?

Well, the ETH reaction is already visible. He grew by $ 70-60 since the fall. Closer to January. And this means that after the upgrade, its price will be $ 200 $ -250. To invest or not is up to you.

yes you're right, this time fork aims to improve the performance of ethereum networks and reduce reward blocks from 3 to 2. many hope that with this hardfork ethereum prices will rise again.

Hard fork decisions are usually good for crypto currency markets. The work continues perfectly. In this way, markets may move a little bit  :)

If you look at the price of Ethereum, it has already started to grow, Ethereum is very popular and I think the demand for its hard fork will be the same as for bitcoin and bitcoin cash.

I think that the hard fork of this ETH may cause the price of ETH to rise, and it may also cause the bull market to come.

I think that the ETH token fork event can promote the rise of the currency price to a certain extent, at least attracting a lot of people's attention.

I think that it is necessary to keep the Ethereum and get a fork. Reducing the reward for the block as positive news as it will be harder to get Ethereum that suspend the creation of new coins but unfortunately they will not be less. I think the growth will be due to this decision of the development team.

I think it will be great because in the last few months, Ethereum has seen huge price drops due to sell off by miners and ICOs, halving the reward will help reduce the sell off.

So many people are now holding their ETH and are not willing to sell, which invariably means that the price will increase. Those selling now the the people that are trying to take their profit.
I am trying to think of what the price would be, but I am envisaging that before the end of this month, ETH will rise above $200.
It is possible we have another development or update after January.

There is no big history track about ETH hardforks, but all they show pumping of the price till the moment of hardfork and dumping it right after it happens. I don't think we'll get some serious pump after the hardfork without the whole market surge.

I don't think that there will be huge price movements with this Hard fork because there are months that this was planned. I think that in these days it's better not to move eth like every hard fork.

but even with this technical fork the price of Ethereum has grown up and it's a good sign that developers care about the future of Ethereum.

I think that before the fork the price will rise, but further growth will depend on the popularity of ICO projects.

Thanks for this. Very cool and useful graph. It seems that "Buy the rumor, sell the news" is still the best strategy.

I hope that after this event the price of Ether will go up. I believe in this project and in the fact that the developers are improving it.

that's good news that can trigger ethereum recovery but I'm a little worried if the ethereum fate will be the same as BCH after hardfork is finished, and if that happens the altcoin can really fall in a very long time because after all ethereum is a platform that has an impact on coins other coin

Will any coins be handed out during this fork? If so, on which stock exchanges to keep the coin?

I think almost every exchange will try to list it as their will be heavy trading and they dont want to miss the trading benefit from it. As almost all exchange are having ETH trading pair to BTC and ETH pair trading other coin are also their. So i think their wont be any worry for it.

I think the price will be rising after drop below $100 few weeks ago. Like bitcoin when fork in 2017, bitcoin price rising to highest price and i think ethereum can rising to after fork. Ethereum used by most token in market and i think ethereum will survive for long term

It's not only Constantinople that will going to be the Hard Fork, there is also NOWA and Ethereum classic vision. That might be enough reason for us to think that Ethereum at this moment will be bullish, it might even achieve 2000 dollars in my opinion.

I dont think any of this upcoming event of ethereum will bring good fortune to their fanatic,as we all know that whole market is suffering from dipping market

I think even if the value grows a little this wasn’t enough to cover all the losses investors got from 2017 cryoto crisis,so if were to choose I prefer o hold my coins for another year so i can earn much higher than what it can offer this soon

Then I seem to know the time for the cryptocurrency market to depreciate. On January 16, when the Ethereum upgraded, the cryptocurrency market will depreciate significantly. This time, Bitcoin may return to $2,000. I hope my prediction is wrong. .

You can pay attention to the Ethereum fork event that took place on January 11th, when you can receive ETCV tokens.

It's really affect the price since its have an additional volume of particular coins as hardfork goings-on, so it's not good to hold for long term , it is need to dump all ETHER to avoid huge losses.

i am more interested in another forks, because one of them is in my signature and I wonder what will be initial price and whether it will be listed somewhere.

Less reward in Ethereum means that price should go up to attract miners right? And miners are needed to ensure the transactions in blockchain.
If price will not go up, or will go down, there will be less miners and that would mean 51% increased risk of attack. My opinion is that nobody wants it so Ethereum has to rise.

Without this measure the price of ethereum would not risen at the moment. Many people are hoping that this fork will push the price higher. I can well imagine that this will happen, but i am not sure.

I don't think there will be any coins to be distributed from Constantinople's hardfork. this is just an update to perfect the system.
but unlike the ETCV fork that will be done this month, you can get ETCV coins if you save ethereum in a personal wallet that supports ERC20.

Actually, I heard that January 18 will be a hard fork. Guys could you tell me where will official statement. Thanks in advance for the link.

I think the news about ethereum hardfork already reach many people in a positive way. it can be seen form the market movement of ethereum. starting form the beginning of this year, the price of ethereum seems to be increasing.

Yeah right, Constantinople is  another update where it would decrease the rewards after that block rewards has been took place, the value might increase as numbers of mine coins will be lessen and maybe PoS might be introduce after this fork I just don't know if that will happen quickly after this fork or it will be discuss first before it will be implemented

As I remember, the update of the ethereum was postponed until January 20-25, if I am not mistaken.

Updates of ETH and its forks influence well the rate of the cryptocurrency. Some people predict the mad growth after the shift of ETH to POS. Only time will tell, I hope for the better!

ETH price is already increasing before the fork has happened.
ETH lost a lot from it it`s market share last year, so the recovery is expected in 2019.

I don't really see any need for the hard fork. I won't hold Ethereum simply for the purpose of splitting it. Although some people may rush to buy ETH in the next few days.

I think its good for ethereum and i am believe the price will rising. I am believe this will be different compare with bitcoin cash that creating civil wars on crypto. Hopely with ethereum hard fork, ethereum price can recover again.

It's the devs decision, so if you believe on the team, you should accept this upgrade.
I call it an upgrade because this move that they are making is going to be for the better of the network and with this kind of improvement, it deserves an increment of value that should be based on organic growth than a hype that will suddenly dump afterwards.

it looks like there are lots of hardfork ETH in this month, but this one seems to bring good news for ETH prices because I see there are some big exchangers that support this one ETH hardfork
One of them is OKEx : https://ethereumworldnews.com/okex-to-support-the-upcoming-ethereum-eth-constantinople-hard-fork/

now the bear market dominates the market. The hard fork of ether does not increase the market. its power is not big enough. only bitcoin can really affect the market.

I think the fork will have a positive effect on Ethereum as it should help increase the performance of the network overall and relieve some of the bottlenecks in a heavily congested system. It isn't clear at this time if there will be a new coin generated if this happens there may be some trading opportunities.

Every major event like Hardfork will give FOMO effect to most of the people and especially whales. The point is, Hardfork is a good thing for improvements and always be. It is just that the problem is within the market pump and dump groups that turns crypto in a bad image of trading. And according to my source, HF will be on january 11.

I think right after the hardfork we can see some price drop cause many people are expecting that in Constantinople hardfork they gonna get new coins. Beside that there are 2 more hardfork(unofficial hardfork and I think they are scam). But in long time scale we will see some uptrend price cause if block reward less means a little bit low supply. But we can think in other ways too cause ethereum already have a huge supply so the change may not effects ethereum price. We saw the price drop cause of icos scams and failed icos. So if the ico ecosystem change my be then it's effects on ethereum price.

I think that hardfork will be more beneficial, and this is very much awaited by crypto enthusiasts. But at this time the day is approaching the occurrence of hardfork ethereum, but the condition looks normal, there are no surprises that can explode the value of coins. But it's still good for only a small increase.

I think that this will affect the price of ETH well (in the sense that the price will increase). Hardfork itself has long been needed, and I am glad that it will finally take place.
Do you need to keep some ETH at the time of the fork? I think yes.

I have a few ethereum coins and I hope that it will be very good to make money on this

As we can see, it has already affected the price, because in the middle of December the price was around 80$ and science that moment the price has doubled. Hope there won't be any big dump after this hardfork, because it usually happens to all major crypto currencies.

As the block rewards will be lowered to 2 ETH, investors must welcome a lower inflation rate of Ether supply. Anyway, miners have been struggling due to Ethereum price decline and slashing the block reward by one- third during this time could be seen as inconsiderate. Investors are in awe of what to expect from the upcoming Ethereum hard forks, especially after the last BCH hard fork happened in November 2018.

Some kind of short-term volatility is expected once the hard forks are announced. The transition into PoS is a risk, but Vitalik Buterin doesn’t mind taking that risk as he doesn’t care on the short-term impact on its price. What he actually cares is succeeding as an investment rather than a technology. As investors are aware of the transition’s benefits, more investors are going to get attracted.

Big investors are still take advantage and again the dump track is on progress, Jan 11 did not surprised us by showing any positive response. The market is still struggling in red zone and we need to wait for few more months for sure.

you are too pessimistic friend ...
if indeed the fork occurs on January 16th and ethereum prices are recovering you will regret making this comment

i think you're right, i've also prepared a few ethereum in my wallet. i hope that it will succeed in getting the benefits that match what i want in the future.

i'm sure this hardfork will increase the price of ethereum.

Ethereum Hard Fork Constantinople was supported by many major exchanges, such as Binance, Huobi, etc. I hope that this is a good sign for all of us and will safely affect the price of Ethereum.

They are will be moving their current client to the ethereum client which will support the next hardfork, don't mind about those scam airdrops called ETN and ETCV.
It will give a good sign consider there will be a very important update to be implemented

In theory, the price should grow, but on the other hand everything will depend on the General situation in the cryptocurrency market. I think that in any case Ethereum will grow in price this year.

Yes, you are right, people are holding Ethereum to get this fork coin. As Binance also supporting Constantinople fork, so, in the crypto platform, everyone got the hype about it and I believe this incident will help Ethereum to hit 200 USD in this month!
But you may not get any fork coin too, because I read some articles that Constantinople is a fork to improve the Ethereum network, this is not a typical snapshot fork!

ETCV is already proof confirmed scam because their website is suspended also twitter account restricted. Check this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095475.0
Still they have not paid yet bounty payment even those people are holding to get reward for fork coin. ETCV main telegram group name and logo changed. But ETCV added some low rating exchange this is just people attraction to invest this project.   

I'm confused. I thought the fork would take place on January 11th. But at the moment I realized that it was a hoax. I less and less believe in the success of forks.

To my mind we all got recked.
People bought ethereum because they expected to receive free coind for ethereum classic vision and nowa turned out scam and as for constantinople, it is just an upgrade, nothing about real fork!

After hard fork will be the expected drop in the price of eth. This happens in 90% of cases, but you still need to take into account the global mood of the market at the moment. Speaking solely from the point of view of trade, and not long-term investment, I would advise selling the entire ethereum 2-3 days before hard fork.

i think ethereum really need very fast solution for scalability and casper must be implemented as fast as possible due the presence of a lot of decentralized app in the eth blockchain

Yes, that's right, most likely the price will begin to fall off already 1-2 days before the fork, so be careful and watch the market movement very carefully.

Ethereum Constantinople is the only fork of recent forks of Ethereum that makes really sense. Other 2 showed that are pure scams. What a pitty.

It will positively impact the price of ETH, especially if the development update will be successful. In fact the news
 already had positive impact on price before the fork happened.

for now I'm still holding Ethereum, I'm still waiting to work hard, will it be better than what happened with Ethereum, I'm still waiting.

No one know what the outcome of this fork would bring ,all we can do now is speculate I'm just hoping things will turn out well for ethereum ,I'm waiting patiently till Jan 16

We'll be waiting for Eth's fork that happened on January 16, and will there be a big explosion and make it even more famous and provide more profits.

It will affect the price of ethereum for sure. But it is on a good track. Because it is a good update of ethereum. Because they want to control the inflation, and they make a good move. I am sure the demands for ethereum after this will increase.

Ethereum is just a tool, maybe it will be better after hard forks, but will anyone want to use it? I see no obvious reason for the growth of ETH in 2019 and I do not expect it.

Don't you expect ethereum to experience growth this year? I myself am sure if this year there will be growth in the ethereum market, besides the hardfork that will occur, the increase in ethereum is also important for altcoin which is integrated with the etehreum network.

Well, Nothing seems falling on the place for Ethereum, The hard fork has just been declared and puts off earlier. But Now so much at stake, above all else the respectability of the system. It might have some constructive outcome for the ETH holders if Ethereum doesn't separate all the while. I imagine that the structure of Ethereum was defective from the earliest starting point, and now it's making a mockery of its issues.

with current market situation I hardly doubt it will making lasting impact on eth price. I expect it would affect the price eventually but this is probably not the good time if you want to fight inflation as things are happening due to market condition and not because people don't want eth.

I'm not sure Ethereum Hardfork (Constantinople) on 16th January 2019 will have a big effect on the price of Ethereum. Yes, I think for now the price of Ethereum will remain stable and I still hold all the Ethereum that I have.  Actually I can't wait to see what will happen after Ethereum Hardfork.  
will the price of Ethereum to the moon?

the fork done?

much hope hardfork will give you different things where a big surge coming. But even until now no good crypto makes impact promises to this time. whether some results again or indeed no change, of course, it got bad results from hardfork are expected to be able to give change especially in the ethereum.

Fork is delayed due to security reasons.

I believe new fork block is not decided yet. But, how I predicted earlier there are no ETH price changes

Now price of eth is dumping and for is delayed.

I think that the failed Ethereum hard fork is another attempt to manipulate the market. If we look at the news, many people were waiting for this event. Most sold their coins to buy ETH, but eventually the rate dropped to $122 and many are now at a loss. This proves once again that it is impossible to pin hopes on any event. Now it is not known when there will be hard fork and it would be bad for Ethereum.

I already have a lot of doubts about the future of Ethereum. Hard fork moved once again and this suggests that the team can not cope with the problems that loomed over the project. Or is this done on purpose to manipulate the exchange rate of ETH. But in theory, after Constantinople's hard fork, the price of Ethereum should rise.

Can't expect so much at Hardfork now because in my opinion now the market is in a bad condition and indeed we must be able to make a decision to be careful in investing

I really feel sorry for those who fell victim of the scam hardforks, which are Now and Ethereum Classic Vision.
Personally, I have never been exposed to any hardfork, but on seeing those two, o knew they were scam.
Then the Constantinople was just an up degrade on the ethereum network, which does not call for one to keep buying more ethereum at higher cost, to now later run at loss.

I don't know when its actually gonna happen! Ethereum’s upcoming hard fork, ‘Constantinople,’ has been delayed once again due to the discovery of a new security vulnerability. Vitalik is indeed a smart developer, there will be something great coming over the way. Let's be positive and watch out!

And what is happening now is a hardfork delay, causing the ethereum price to drop dramatically. However, I am optimistic that after Constantinople's Hardfork finishes the ethereum price will go back up.

The main thing that the date is not postponed a few more times, otherwise during this time the price will fall even lower and hardfork will only be able to return what we have now

I read that the new update Ethereum will be on February 28, I hope that this update will not be postponed. Who thinks about this update?

I hope they won't postpone this hardfork once again as they did the last time. There is not so much time left till the end of February and the price is still very unstable. Lets just wait and see what happens after hardfork.
