What do you think?

Ethereum price has dumped much recently. The ICOs are one of the big reason. Because most ICO projects are based with Ethereum smart contract and they are cashout Ethereum. Most ICOs are a scam and not giving enough return on investment to investors right now. Most people not going to invest in ICO projects. I personally believe Ethereum price will raise in the future.

Who can know? it can be or it cannot be.

Just let the event decide on itself and let's just stay and see what's going to be the effect of it.

Constantinople fork will decrease reward for miners from 3 to 2 Ethers. It will decrease coin supply, inflation and deflate Ethereum price. But the biggest influence on it will give ICO market. If stagnation will continue, then there will no increase in price.

In my opinion. the price of Ethereum will rise again. I am sure if at the beginning of the year ETH prices will rise again and market conditions will stabilize again. we must be optimistic.

Constantinople could help reverse the downward trend. Improving functionality will in the short-term keep users on the network, rather than moving onto rival platforms. Laying the foundations for major updates, the Caspar protocol, as well as scalability infrastructure, will show the community Ethereum is improving and addressing current pain points.

I strongly believe that this project will give a new life to Ethereum.

i don't think so.
as the other user said Ethereum price depends on ICOs and their success. the main reason it got pumped last year was because of hundreds of scam ICOs abut they no longer can keep on like this. ICOs are dead now and no matter what you change about ethereum it still remains a smart contract aka ICO platform and without them it is nothing..

Price must go up, because mining rewards will be decreased.
If its not happen miners go to mine other ethash coins.

This is difficult to predict as we are still in the bear market.
I think that possibility exists, but i would not count on it.
The market reacts totally unpredictably and therefore just wait and see what will happen.

I am reminded of my friend's words that a cryptocurrency will increase when people are discouraged but that is true or not I lack trust.
in this position everyone might be confused predicting the movement of cryptocoin

Prices of Ethereum and altcoin depend on bitcoin. Ethereum's price will not be able to go up if Bitcoin prices continue to plummet, and I think this upgrade will not have a significant impact on the price of ETH....

It will be a HUGE development, it's largely bullish and it certainly won't crash the price.
The problem is that the hype nowadays is nonexistent, so not many people will hear about it and act accordingly.
But I do hope that it will bring back some of the people who couldn't endure a bear market.

Its not the ICOs that make ETH dumped down, its jut that all altcoins depend to BTC and BTC has drop terribly. Its contagious that if its price goes down everybody who wants to safeguard their money will also move to stablecoins. If we all believe ICOs keep the price down then there wouldn't be people investing on projects but there are. These projects are important for the adoption, its what's going to make prices goes up as well.

It is definitely the ICO-s though. EOS sold millions of ethers, of course this hugely influenced the market.
You might claim that the volumes are much higher, but most of the volume is bots. So EOS dumping was completely impossible to reverse by any buying pressure.
And many ICOs haven't even started dumping their ethers.

This is completely possible. However, the Ethereum update alone is not enough. Market data should also show an improvement. Bitcoin affects the price of many cryptocurrencies. We all know that. But there is a similar situation in Ethereum. There are tens of tokens with Ethereum.

Do not think so. Too many scum (and legit) ICO's fund are still in Ethereum ecosystem and barely owners are planning to stay inside. But main reason is that Ethereum did not fix the scaling problem.

many are waiting for this moment and this event will be a good reason for the price increase for speculative purposes. But the main trigger for the growth of the price of etherium should be the massive demand for participation in STO

For now it will probably stay at $ 85 - 100 because this situation cannot be predicted whether it will go up or down. But for the time being I think ethereum will survive or experience ups and downs. But do not know if at the beginning of the year will be increased.

I'm not sure the price will stay at 85 dollars until this end, it could happen there is still a decline until January early next year. If the price goes to 100 dollars means there are signs to continue to rise

The idea behind proof of stake is that miners could always go higher or lower depending on difficulty, even at one dollar per ethereum the miners could still profit if the difficulty is low enough, however when staking is the subject the more you have it the more you will stake it and make money, hence if you have 100 ethereums you will stake more compared to 1 ethereum.

It means there suppose to be more people who will have ethereum and hold it on their own wallets and stake it constantly 7/24 which would make two great potentials for ethereum.

Firstly, it would mean there will be a lot of wallets staking the coin helping the transactions which could potentially drop the fee for transactions which was already low, plus it would also create a lack of sellers because people will want to keep it on their wallet and not constantly sell or trade it. I believe it will have a better future with this, maybe not right away but long term.

I'm not so sure it will immediately raise the price.
The market conditions just don't support it.
If anything, if the price doesn't rise then it could crash more as people lose hope.

But, the fork itself is a great step for Eth.
It will set the stage for many of the important developments that need to happen for it to be competitive with the newer smart contract platforms.
I see this as another strong sign that eth is here to stay and is still the industry leader.
this makes me very hopeful for eth future.
Combined with the years of experience and market penetration it has, eth will eventually reclaim its position.

Definitely hard to say, because we saw how hardfork Bitcoin behaved and I think everyone remembers how the last time jumped ethereum after running its fork.  Hopefully this will create a positive effect!

There is a possibility that there will be an increase in price (maybe temporarily). What is more important here is what will happen to the platform after the hardfork. From what I read, it will lead the way to solving scalability issues so that is something positive and one to look forward to.

all altcoins have their heyday, like the current Ethereum game, Ethereum replaces the second seat after Bitcoin. but at this moment Ethereum will come back, nobody knows.

constantinople will bring an improvement to the blockchain and i think this good news will certainly help to raise the price of eth

Ethereum1x and Ethereum 2.0 will come after constantinople. I think that is what we should think of rather than the short term effect on ETH pice of the hardfork.

In my opinion, Constantinople fork will have a limited impact on the rise of the Ethereum. The overall state of the cryptocurrency market has a much greater impact. If Bitcoin continues to decline, then, even in the case of Constantinople fork, Ether will follow Bitcoin down.

I think the upgrade will definitely have a positive effect on the price but the real value will come after the implementation of a series of upgrades coming to eth that may take few more months so bottom line is that eth price will recover but it will take some time.

The promised update of Ethereum will be able to reverse the negative trend of the fall in the short term, but it is not necessary to postpone it for a late period. I think many are waiting after thisgrowth, but I do not think that the price will be as high as in early 2018.

It is difficult to answer this question, but I personally believe that the Ethereum price will rise when the entire market recovers and Constantinople will not affect the Ethereum price increase. At the moment, the price of ETH strongly depends on how most projects will sell it and influence the price.

if the prices continue to fall, this update will probably not change that. the market currently does not seem to respond to news, updates or anything else. i would wish it, that the price rises again.

If one knows for sure that ETH will increase or decrease prices, they can also earn big profits from margin participation. And that is hardly any trader can dare to say that they know ETH or a certain coin will increase or decrease.

in this market, I doubt that this news can affect the growth, we are still in a bearish trend and it is difficult to say something about growth

I agree with you, I think in spite of everything, the Ethereum has very good prospects)

We don't know if Ethereum 2.0 will save the Ethereum price and will be the reason of its price increase. One thing is for sure this update will make the Ethereum blockchain more faster and the issue about network clogging will be resolved after the update is implemented. This will surely benefit the Ethereum community and the Ethereum based projects.

In terms of opportunities, I am sure that the price of Ethereum (ETH) will increase. But I can't answer with a few of them, considering I am still in the learning stage, even though my account rank is a member. The reason is why I can't answer it thoroughly, but I see the opportunity or not to increase the price of Ethereum (ETH) is very dependent on investors.

Let us hope that this time, the effect will be positive. The altcoin will start growing very fast, and it will be the time of Ethereum glory. As I remember, the fork is planned for January 2019...Let's wait.

In order for this update to take place, it is still necessary to do a very large amount of hard work. If the update will be successful, then this will definitely help increase the price of Ethereum. but it is important to understand that before the update, there is still a lot of time and the Ethereum can fall to $ 13

for now etherium continues to increase again. everyone hopes Etherium early in 2019 will look legit again.

I believe the price of Ethereum will rise slowly, not in the near future. With the Hardfork combined between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the recovery of both has been seen at this time even though the increase has not peaked.
What happens after Christmas and New Year at the price of Ethereum? We wait and see later.

Definitely, Constantinople hype will cause an uptrend for ETH. But in my own opinion, that will happen when the day for the hardfork is close. Well, this space is crazy, no one knows it all. Rumours control crypto space a great deal, so let's see how this comes to lime light.

Almost no trader who dares to say that they know that ETH or certain coins will increase or decrease. If someone knows for sure that ETH will increase or decrease prices, they can also get a big profit from margin participation.

now ethereum has begun to show signs of green after a full year has experienced a significant decline. I hope the trend has reached the point of support and pullback to a minimum of $ 600

I think that it will definitely be, because we are talking about a promising coin with a working team that is really working on its product!

Definitely, this event will affect the price of Ethereum. I do hope that the altcoin will gain. Suppose, the team will not postpone the fork anymore, and it will happen in January. Let us wait a bit.

We can see a short-term increase in the price of ethereum, but unless the bitcoin increases, the ethereum price rise should not be expected much. Market conditions are very important.

Technology and news is not work now, especially if there is a bear market, the most important thing is to maintain a bullish trend, then Yes.

Of course, a large influx of investments can play a good role in cryptocurrency pricing. If specifically we are talking about ethereum and if scaling will attract more investors, despite the poor state of the cryptocurrency market, the ethereum will rise up unequivocally.

Yes, of course, it will affect the price, Ethereum will grow - I am sure of that. A strong increase in price possible overnight in the near future, now ETH need to be stored and purchased more IMO.

I also think that in spite of the fact that there will be an update on Ethereum, if the market does not go up, the price will not rise too much. Maybe 30 percent is possible

Everyone is waiting for growth, but there will be a fall, everything is as usual! But in the long run, the price should grow and will do so. We will wait and see what happens next.

and yet the ethereum for the last week showed a 10% growth, which by today's standards is a very good indicator. Let's hope that this figure will continue in the future.

Of course yes. Now Ethereum is very much unreasonably dropped in price. This is an asset with great potential and if we talk about a local price increase, then yes, the closer the hard forks, the higher the price. But you have to be careful, after hard forks the prices usually fall and, of course, much will depend on the behavior of the Bitcoin price, unfortunately.

I think yes. We also need a higher price for bitcoin in my opinion and after we can have a higher price for ETH in fiat. Until then i will get more ETH and waiting for at least 250$ in price and that will be a nice profit of almost 150%.

I hope the price will rise again through the update, but that is just a hope and i am unsure if this will happen. Either way, i have taken precautions and am curious to see if anything changes in price.

I have been into cryptocurrency for a while but still market price prediction is really hard to predict correctly. As you can see even if many will agreed to the speculations for the crypto but still fails. This is why if you will gone to predict mind your own research and do not ask for some users that might lead you to wrong predictions. In this case ETH has back down so it will have some hard time to recover.

It is difficult to answer your question, because anything can happen. But we will try to figure out a little what can happen. And so the approaching event on the Etherium tells us that Constantinople is an update of the Etherium platform, which means it should be an improvement. Accordingly, against the background of this, the growth of ETH will definitely have to occur. The question is more when it happens, before this event or after? Also, against the background of this event a price collapse may have occurred, there was already information about putting a large amount of ETH on the exchange, the question is why this was done. In any case, I believe that updating the Etherium network will only benefit, but time will tell.

it could be, as long as waiting for the increase of ethereum, because all altcoins at this time (other than Ripple) experience very bad decadence, because ethereum also experiences the same thing.

I don't think it will have a big impact. unless the price of bitcoin also increases, it might be different. the first thing to do, to be able to raise ethereum prices is that the market must recover first. new ethereum prices will increase despite constantinople succeeding or not.

In one word it's no reason to grow for ETH with this hardfork. If BTC will up then ETH will up also without any hardfork. But fundamentally this patch allow making one step to PoS and as result to make ETH more interesting for investors

I think this great upcoming update on the ethereum blockchain will help to rise the price of ether. for me, I think ethereum has a real world usage and for that matter the current price is not the right price for a coin like ether.

When the Ethereum is switched to Pos, the actual price will increase.But the update in February will cause a significant increase.The important thing is to start the bull era.
Everything will be better.

In such a market, if the update solves most of the problems, then the adequate price is $ 400-500. And already in the growing market, the price can rise to $ 1000. Greater leap in price can be given only by the introduction of smart contracts, which have the ability to return funds to investors.

Yes, it will make a positive effect on the price of Ethereum because a lot of investors buy and hold it till this new fork. Every investor who wants to participate in this fork will require ETH in his portfolio before that happen and it will create a huge demand for ethereum.

Ethereum I think it will continue to increase and is always accompanied by Bitcoin. Because what I see is that ethereum prices are increasing, of course the other altcoins will definitely increase too. So I really believe ethereum will be used to improve.

ETH made a big turn from a strong price drop to a good and stable daily growth. I thought we were at the bottom when the price of ETH was 90$. Now for the last day the price of ETH rose by another 16% - this is a good trend ETH = 130$

It seems to me that today many people already feel that very pleasant moment when the project begins to have growth, because today, provided that the market is still coming to life, then we can say that people are already starting to be late with investing.

this ethereum price movement depends on the good news that occurs and depends on high demand, if both are there then it can have an influence on the price movement of ethereum.

Today's market shows a healthy market, where almost altcoins and bitcoins have increased, albeit slowly but surely. This market that continues to grow and has many surprises always provides a great opportunity to continue to grow. Eth will survive and remain a popular coin in the future.

it depends on the crypto community especially the investors, If they believe that a hard fork of Ethereum will help to boost them in the future then they will tend to invest Ethereum as preparation of bullish time that soon to happen.

It depends on the general fundamental news in the market. If they are negative, even a successful launch of Constantinople won't give rise to growth. The ether will begin to grow at about the same time as bitcoin. I hope it will be in January, if Baktt opens and starts to work.

in my opinion it is possible that last year when the ethereum byzantium fork market update occurred, the bear market was still not started and that caused ethereum prices to rise, but updates to the fork ethereum constantinople bear market have occurred and it is very unlikely for ethereum to rise again

I think the same. I don't wait for ETH growth without common market uptrend. Locally we can see some green bars but globally with so strong BTC price correlation ETH can change trend with all only

Now you can find news about the launch of the Bakkt platform. Dates will be changed. It seems to me that even with the successful updating of the ethereum, he will not be able to overcome the price of $ 300. There is a possibility that even in 2019 ethereum will not cost more than $ 500

Most of the ICOs are based on ethereum blockchain and unfortunatly most of them are scam , Scam ICOs is the main reason of ethereum dump in my view , Since they take money from people with out paying back , I think it needs to be regulated .

I think ETH and he will not be bad at looking at him $ 128.00 + 14.15%. Now prices will be settled by themselves, without the help of outsiders. Looking at the green light you start to believe in the bull)

Constantinople is a major upgrade to Ethereum’s code and could spur some newfound interest from investors, so it will help in increasing ETH price.
As investors learn of the Constantinople upgrade and we approach the hard fork’s date, we will have to keep a close eye on the price of Ethereum.

The price for Ethereum will rise by itself as soon as there is good news about the project. Developers will be enough to announce the increase in network speed and the price of ETH will fly up.

It seems like it has already

I think this is the last pump of 2018 before we welcome the new year 2019. It may not last long, but that's what makes us believe in ETH.

another ponzi sceme  attempt to get those christmass bonus invested in  scam coins in general.   new year wi deflate them again  some say btc to  1500
we will see

I do not think that this news can greatly affect the price, it is unlikely that we will break the resistance line at the top , I think we will still fall , and the news is unlikely to have a price shift

This update will raise the price of the ethereum. I don't expect a fall after hardfork because a new coin won't show up. Developers both idea on hardfork. Normally other coins come out with a new coin.

I think that the price will rise, but until then it will have time to fall. It is also interesting when exactly this event will happen, because usually like to delay.

I don't think there will be anyone who can influence the increase in ethereum prices in addition to the good news and the effect of rising bitcoin prices that might give rise to ethereum prices.

This has yet remain to be seen. But as always in crypto world, developments/upgrades such as this, raise the expectations and hopes of the investors, thus raising the demand of a crypto asset in the market thus increase in value is inevitable.
However the launch of Constantinople has officially been delayed until January or February 2019. The delay comes as a result of finding several bugs in the code on the testnet platform. Ethereum developers are implementing these software upgrades with the intention of making the Ethereum network faster, less expensive and more efficient. In their words, they are "ushering in a new age of Blockchain technology".
This major upgrade to Ethereum's network is something to look forward to.







 

Already look at the price of ETH people who bought the ETH at 88$ are already in profit and it is almost very close to 160$ which it is going to double the price of ETH. Still, we don't have any clue about whether it is a trap or not. With the activity and development, they do will always help hem to increase the price of ETH.
