I have couple of ethereum holders as friend and right now they are in worries about the upcoming hardfork ,well this is my opinion
-the upcoming hardfork is just an upgrade ,don't expect extra coins for holding ETH
-its ethereum damn it, If you are thinking it might lose value after the upgrade you are wrong ,I don't say its impossible but of all coins out there ETH stands out ,its no shit coin and remember the dev is a smart guy ,he knows what's best ,either it goes POS or not ETH is still a champ
 Don't dump or live to regret it.

I also think that your friends have nothing to worry. In my opinion, the fact that there will be no separation of the blockchain (so, there will be no additional coins) is a big plus, because there will be no separation of the community. And as we all know Ethereum dev team is really good, so after hardfork, I expect only good news.

There are no additional coins, so a drop in value is not very likely (like the BCH <-> BTC drama). Like you said its ETH, thousands of coins and tokens are based on it, it wont fade only because of a hardfork.

Fully agree with you. I think that the update on the contrary will affect the price of ETH in a good way. Therefore, do not panic and wait for the next news.

There are 2 more forks which was meant to give new coin but for your info, both of those are fake. One is ethereum classic vision and another is ethereum nova. Since ETH is going to change itself to PoS, people will possibly invest some more money to ETH. PoS coins give some staking rewards and it will be a good chance to accumulate some more ETH.

This fork is pure from ethereum and not every fork must have airdrop coins, because ethereum only upgrades the network. I hope upgrading Constantinople can make ethereum better and can rise from its fall.

It is true and careful of ETN and ETCV, because there have been many warnings or threads that state the victim of the fake fork.

It must be careful, after looking at the thread about ETCV and Waves X https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091554.0, I think many colleagues must consider and begin to look back on the hardfork ETH that is intense. Don't let this make you regret, so be patient to be able to find a better ETH value.

Totally agreed, I saw many people compare Constantinople Ethereum hardfork with the latest Bitcoin Cash hardfork, and they think they are the same. They don't know that even the fundamental of Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum is totally different, we all know that many people of the crypto community hate Bitcoin Cash, and the latest hardfork is because there is an internal confilct inside the Bitcoin Cash team, on the contrary this Constantinople Ethereum hardfork is an upgrade for the blockchain network.

I also don't think after Hardfork will lose ETH value, because there are still many who use ETH for the platform, so we also hope for the best after hardfork later, remain optimistic in everything.

This hardfork should have been very long, look at the roadmap of the project. The Ethereum team has postponed it more than once and I am not sure that it will take place within the specified period.
If it takes place, then I doubt that this will significantly increase the cost, the bear market has no pity for anything. We need a lot of fresh blood to increase the cost, but where can we get it?

You're right, it's just an upgrade and there's no need to worry or think out of this world ideas about the constantinople upgrade. And usually when fork happens the price also upgrades which means to say that the price is also taking the positive effect of that fork. ETH is a good coin and Vitalik is still in the process of developing it for a better future. ETH is a good coin and this is why its standing still and rated as one of toughest and good coin to invest with.

The date of this hardfork has already been postponed once. Let's hope that this time everything will happen as planned and without unpleasant surprises. It is quite a difficult update, so with ratings and price predictions, it is better to wait until the official confirmation that everything has worked out.

Even though there will be no coins generated from the hardfork ETH but I'm still interested in continuing to buy ETH, just yesterday and until now the ETH price has declined and also the second position of the market cryptocurrency was recaptured by XRP. As many @icalical said, many people equated hardfork ETH and BCH hardfork in the past, but I agree with him because all the things are different. ETH developers still choose the same concept, no one is at loggerheads to develop and divide teams to produce new coins.

yes, I don't think hardfork will make the original coin fade or the value will be low, I think the impact is more on hardfork coins that may not have value, considering that the platform owned by ethereum is mostly used by developers and certainly I don't doubt the potential of the coin ethereum.

but the increase in hardfork ethereum times is the increase in the blockchain network, and of course it does not directly affect the market price increase. because this is one of the long term improvements, and the price also follows after the impact of its development begins to be felt

I will always keep ETH! Regardless of the news, the coin is strong and we all know it! The upcoming forks will not weaken the ETH, but they will not strengthen it, at the moment it is not very clear. I think so

Honestly, ethereum is one of the most trusted investment one can have in crypto currency. It is trusted by developers in terms of platform and contracts, a lot of investors and traders use ethereum, which means it's trading volume is high, and ethereum is still on development.

I will see in terms of hard fork positivity that will happen to Eth Constantinople about the increase for long-term improvement.
So that this will make Eth's interested people grow and broader.

I know recent crash has disappointed many as most of them were expecting bulls including me but still i believe in eth as a project and company and personally i will only take profit at 1000 or more current value is not anything closer to what real eth value should be.

You are totally right,everybody here are looking forward to what the outcome of the hardfork will bring to the market and to Ethereum, like you rightly said ethereum is not a shit coin so we are not expecting anything trash from whatsoever the outcome will be.

So what do you prefer?
Not dump and just hold? Or add more. It could be profitable if the new coin will have a value. But I am not expecting a lot though. I still prefer ETH to be upgraded rather than the dusty new coin that will be given which may have no value at all.

Correct about ETH standing firm. $150 each is not that easy to reach.

It's hard to say today is the 11th. If the information that the ETH released fork. There are also doubts. I saw bounty on the fork. But it looks like fraudsters want to steal ETH.

As far as Eth is concerned, I am in fact excited for the coming fork as it can mean that the whole Ethereum ecosystem can be upgraded and when things can get better with anything we should be expecting some growth that is hodling on to this coin can be the best thing to do and in fact if I have some additional funds I will be buying Eth as I am sure there is a big possibility of some surge right after the scheduled fork. This is one fork where we can sleep on nicely and have nothing to worry about.

Agreed with you. Worries is not a solution, they should have patient for upcoming fork. Hard fork is good for future investment. Price of forked coin also increase. And Ethereum team is so much active now-a-days.

There are many outcome that could happen after the hardfork of ethereum. However, most of us are waiting of the best outcome which is the price of ethereum will increase and will set new ATH in market. I'm still positive that the outcome of hardfork will be the high price on market.

The other two projects claiming to hardfork cannot be trusted.
Nova has already been foiled to be a scam project, because it stole some people's identity and used them as their team.
ETCV is not revealing the identity of its team, but not using fake identity. Just today, I opened their telegram channel and discovered they want to sell the coin, which makes me to suspect them more of scam.

Fully agree with the author. Ethereum will not lose its value, despite the present forks. I also bought ethereum in my portfolio when it costs around $ 100. And I almost did not regret it.

I agree with you and also think that Ethereum is going to be one of the greatest altcoins. You are right about the upcoming hardfork, it does not mean that we would get a new coin, but I hope the whole blockchain would be updated.

Not new. Those who hold Ethereum will not receive any new coins, but it concerns Ethereum! Its price is unlikely to grow after the fork, well, at least not as much as many say.

I don’t understand why people say that after the hard fork, the price of Ethereum will increase. On the contrary, I think that the price will fall

we'll see how it turns out, because I myself also think that if the trend of all the price coins goes down then when ETH experiences a hardfork then the price of ETH will also be the same as other coins going down too, but this is just my prediction I hope my prediction is wrong.

There are two forked coins for hodlers but they are probably scams. Nowa eth and also eth classic vision, but none of them have a valid team which doesn't look good.

Upgrading means improving so with ethereum now people are interested in owning it, especially with the new version, a better version than now.
I'm sure this will make ethereum more interesting because they also change the system for the better because PoS tends to make miners tend to retain their coins for long periods of time and this system will give birth to coins that are stronger because they have more holders

Ethereum has the potential to stand out and believed any upgrade that go on, we added advantage towards Ethereum and other alt-coin in Crypto Exchange platform. therefore is the best time to invest more ETH.

The problem of people who hold ETH  is the fear of updates and losing money. Those who have no ETH are afraid that they won't buy it in time. FUD& FOMO are awful things! In fact, there's enough time to earn

I'll not say that eth will lose value after the hard fork but the upgrade its self comport inherent risks and the most likely is the network split which would be possible if a sufficient number of Miners don't agree with the upgrade.

Yeah my friend there is nothing to worry about the main hardfork is just a upgradation like. So tell your friend to not worry too much. And yes they wouldn't give any kind of coins after hardfork(The main one which is called Constantinople and which dated on 16 Jan maybe). But there are more so called hard fork which will give coins so maybe your friend will have some coin if they hold on myetherwallet. The upgration to POS from POW is not a fast process. It will take time. Dev said that maybe it will take 8-12 months after hardfork. They have may issues to solve like scalability and txn issues. And about price after hard fork and upgradation news ethereum already pumped. But it hard to predict that whats comes next.

In the course of Hard Fork, new coins always appear, just not worth chasing for them. They are usually not worth it. And even more so do not rush to send somewhere your private key to receive these coins. It could be scammers.

The cost of Ethereum after its renewal may fall, as it grew only because of the hype that formed due to the news around its fork and renewal.

Now that the price of ETH has fallen, it is an opportunity for some people to buy more in order to take part in the hardfork.
Ethereum will definitely still grow in this year, which is why holders will not regret it
I am not advising that you hold, but do what is best for you.

I understand the trepidation, but it's really not time to panic quite yet. This market will be volatile for some time. Patience is key.

Do not worry. With Ethereum will be all right. After hardfork you will not notice any changes for yourself. The new coin itself will appear in your wallet.

I don't think the cost of Ethereum will drop much after it's updated, but it's likely to happen. In any case, there are a few days left and we will soon find out.

Your friend should hold ETH and don't worry. It will take a certain time period to ETH back and I am sure it will come back. Soon!!!

Same here, I don’t think ETH will lost its value much after the fork. In any case, it is good to hold ETH for the long term. The price is low in this market situation, the profit will be massive after market recover.

The choices we choose will determine our own future, I don't worry about ethereum and still choose ethereum, because I believe ethereum will grow and have a bright future.

I'll pick up every single eth if it drops below 20$, really :) I don't believe that it could happen, but it's the market and if something goes wrong and everybody is panic - let it be so. I'm too long at this market to panic sell with every single market drop.

Ethereum is a good coin, but sometimes, you just have to be careful, most especially for short term investors.
I could not just imagine that it can be manipulated even when the hardfork is yet to come.
My expectation was that there will be continual growth till the, but everything now looks different.

so many coin are on ethereum blockchasin, ethereum will a lot of support, it's better to hold and not sell cheaply.

Yes, both coins that have been talked about a lot lately, like separating from ethereum on January 11 and 12 - ETN and ETCV, turned out to be fraud. In both cases, it all came down to taking possession of the secret keys of the ethereum holders' purses under the pretext of issuing free forks. Unfortunately, this once again showed the current threatening level of cryptocurrency fraud.
However, we will go further and wait in three days for the long-awaited improvements in ethereum. Let us hope that they will raise this coin to a new qualitative level.

Your expectation from ETN and ETCV should not be high. Very likely SCAM in these two projects!

No need to worry about Ethereum Constantinapole. It's already done by the official Ethereum community, and I think it's a very good upgrade.

Eth is a good investment choice as its technique and also it got the smart contract feature. The best part of it is that the price of ETH is not expensive as bitcoin. So it is worth to invest in long run. Ethereum is the best of all altcoins and proven for many years that it dominates of all altcoins because of it's technology that are been trusted by most crypto enthusiast. Ethereum always stands next at bitcoin and if bitcoin will not pursue innovation specially on their technology. I will buy Ethereum (https://coinswitch.co/coins/ethereum)After the major decline, the ETH price has seen a strong reversal and come back to its normal price.Ethereum is best in long term investment because it grows high at the market as years passed by. Invest at ethereum then hold it longer for sure ethereum will gives you high profits in the future.

those two cases were obviously trying to scam people taking advantage of a drama in the market and they used the fact that most people are very uninformed when it comes to anything technical.
otherwise ETH hardfork is still a very risky move and it can end up splitting the network into two and end up with two different coins that crash the price of it both.

there is no reason to panic for that ethereum fork.. it has nothing to do with the ethereum price.. just hold ethereum

I also think holding Ethereum for long time can bring a nice profit, and the team behind Ethereum will do all they can do to develop it and community will support Ethereum.

Yes. Ethereum is everywhere now and each and everyday, more people invest in this coin because of its popularity and huge profits it can generate so keep holding ethereum if you have bought some.

I think so too I am very good at ethereum and he always in my wallet I support him for long-term investments and I like

Ethereum's price looking good for now atleast bitcoin pumping up same to ethereum condition for me bitcoin is same to ethereum as well for pumping and dumping.

Hardfork ETH is not a concern, developers are working to improve the coin.  I am sure that ETH has a future, I myself hold this coin, and there is no doubt, much less anxiety.  Since I decided to invest in Ethereum.  It's my personal opinion.  What do you do, the decision to take only you.

It has been up more than it was after the fork.

---

But I don't think it's the sole reason why the price has pumped. And also, the thread has been going to off topic discussion, the question of op is just about the upgrade, Constantinople which was done.

After five months since this thread had started, ethereum and whole market had at least doubled up. Ethereum had recovered nicely. I always believe that the ethereum blockchain is very useful in cryptocurrency community. The continuous upgrade and development on it is very much helpful and makes it more dependable.

I never doubt ethereum even those days of bearish peeiod. Now that we are on the bullish period, ethereum is rising very well. Compared to other blockchains, ethereum has proven its purpose here in cryptocurrency. A lot of platforms had been built on this blockchain. With the road to scalability and adoption, series of improvements has been lined up. Great ethereum blockchain.

The team works well and can develop well so Ethereum can still grow and grow better.
he is the best Altcoin and very strong so don't underestimate it, he can give good results for us, if we are patient waiting for the movement and we can manage it too.

Yes. Ethereum is a very potential coin so we have nothing to worry about it but to continue hold it patiently until it reaches a very high peak. Its price might not be too expensive for now but seeing bitcoin surges into a new heights, i really think ethereum will also follow the same path too.

Yes, eth prices have risen from the last five months, so for that reason ethereum has been a lot of holders for a long time because of the potential coins, and now it's all proven

As you know ETH have been introduced POS network and in coming days Ethereum price will be grow more and its a time to buy and hold ETH for future investment.

Well, Ethereum so far is now back in the ball anyhow, as you can see with its market value ETH was giving a good performance as what bitcoin doing it now. And besides the paln of ETH for the future was good were more holders are buying it because of the POS, I am hoping this will apply.

I will not too much worry if i hold ethereum even change to PoS system. Ethereum used by most platform or token in cryptocurrency market and with smart contract, many big company interesting to use ethereum network. I think the team behind ethereum will always developing ethereum and its big project with second biggest second market cap in crypto space

If we have another hard fork of the ethereum i think it is a big help to strethen the ethereum and most probably the demand will also high in the crypto market it will affect also the price going to high. Many ethereum holders would be happy for their profit.

after a long time the increase in eth values was very large, so even though the presence of Hardfork did not have a big effect on eth prices.

With the occurrence of Hardfork ETH prices will continue to soar and in my opinion this will be normal with a fraction of the hardfork coin.

I don't expect ETH to be hard-forked again, let's see that Bitcoin has hard forked many times in 2017 and 2018. The market doesn't need altcoin separated from Bitcoin, most of which is a tool to make money from whale

I don't see why anyone should be afraid of it, but if you want you can still move out and once the hard fork is over you can get back in, but I don't think that's really worth it. I have noticed that anytime these coins get forked their prices tend to increase more than what it was before the hard fork. So what if this hard fork is the thing that will lead ethereum into a bull along side Bitcoin?? A lot of people has been talking about bull run, so what if this is all that's making it wait, maybe after this hard fork then you will see everything go up.

That addition to the technology of ETH will make that coin more productive and we have to hold more ETH now not because of this introduction but because the whole technology of ETH deserve to be on the top 2 spot. I see this coin as my sleeping gem, and for sure when bulls begin the price of ETH will also begin to grow and its possible to hit $1000 once again. This is not a hype, but more on the real future of ETH.

Well ethereum is back into the system now and we should be happy about that because there will be more profits earned at the end of holding. Let's be patient and wait.

this doubling is due to bitcoin and all the altcoins on average. But I am still surprised when yesterday's hardfork, ethereum did not provide any improvement in terms of price. yes at least ethereum still has an important role in the crypto market.

That's how this coin works,hold and wait take every chance buying cheaper the market for this coin still anticipated to move more after Bitcoin bull, if you work with your emotions and you keep holding this coin there's a bigger chance to make a good fortune and received higher rewards.

ethereum in the past few days showed a positive movement, and the increase in transaction volume reached the highest level since 2018, likely to return to $ 1,000

There is a possibility of us seeing another surge again in July as speculated by expert, for ethereum to hit $1000, then there will be a possibility of getting into another ATH like back in 2017 when it get to $1,500. Can't Wait to see this dream coming to pass as the entire altcoin market recover.

The possibility of reaching $1,000 again is far from reality for this year. Bitcoin had almost increase four times its lowest price at the end of 2018, but ethereum only doubles up. The developer of ethereum blockchain should always keep thinking of improving ethereum to bring back its glory days. I'm

it's true for friends who have invested in eth just don't worry. because eth is not a bad crypto, surely the developers will try to adjust the old version with the new version so that the transaction services they provide us can still run well.

yes, thats right
ethereum is the best investments options after bitcoin,
so, if anybody hodl this altcoins, i think he or she do the right thing buddy

And ethereum continues to be an ever-popular altcoin, even if it is proven in the worst market conditions. Right now it looks a little slow, but the time will come to reach hope. At least the price will stay at a price of $ 300, and don't go back fall down, while waiting for ethereum 2.0. Keep the spirit!

so with me, I have a few friends on cryptocurrency who are ETH holders.
they are very worried if hardfork happens then their coins will have a bad impact.
if we think again, when the coin is hardfork then it is a different coin not the same coin again.
all back to our respective responses whether hardfork is good or bad in our opinion.

Well ethereum is back into the system now and we should be happy about that because there will be more profits earned at the end of holding. Let's be patient and wait.

Back in January hard fork  was an upgrade and it hasn't moved price significantly. So I think that you shouldn't think that ethereum will rise due to this reason

Ethereum is one of the important coins in cryptocurrency. So many users will be keep using its smart contracts though. It will be a wise decision to keep your ethereum because it will be worth enough in the future.

Hardfork did not have any effect on the price of Ethereum, and it seemed to be strange. Ethereum was not very active in its volatility this year. Probably, after July, it will start running up a little bit faster than before.

Once you are worried about the price of certain altcoin example Ethereum, you may be panic of any condition that the coin is facing. IT is not only about the risks of holding the coins, not only about the negative issues and hardfork. But it is also the readiness of you yourself who keep holding the coin. I think that you should not worry about that at all that will probably drive you the panic decision It will end bad, mate.
ETH is a very promising altcoin and the price is good enough at this moment.

Yes, if we are confident about the project it is good to hold them because we might see some huge development release in the coming days, most of the people invested their ETH in potential coins but they are waiting for the market to recover the altcoin prices.

I think this is a way for ETH to increase dramatically in the near future. And seeing other altcoin grow so hard is difficult, and it will easily make them sell them soon. After that, when it sells, it will increase and then there will be regret from investors who sell early

why should they be worried?  Hardfork is just a major network upgrade to make the Ethereum network even more better.  They should be happy about the improvement and be worried only about the vulnerabilities that might be found on the network.

Don't hesitate to altcoin named Ethereum. Ethereum is a special altcoin in my opinion. If there is someone who still holds Ethereum, I think that is a smart person who has a good forward-looking direction.

Holding a coin like ETH shouldn't ever be an issue as it is not as most altcoins. ETH is a coin with great concept, team etc thus being one of the valuble coins in the crypto market. So no matter the type of innovative works going on through the platform it will only end up drawing more attention thus leading to price growth. That is to say, any innovative works leads to positive growth; so I don't think your friends should worry about ETH platform upgrade but be happy of holding some.

The upgrade done on the platform of ethereum has not been able to add any significant price growth to it. I was expecting price increase as much as x5 at least. Well there is still hope and those who feel they should sell now can do that, but they might regret it later, because the bull for altcoins will still emerge.

There's the possibility that those who sell their Ethereum will regret it later because the market is waiting for a stringer very soon. Am a fan of Ethereum and I hold it against the future as I have see the future of Ethereum brighter than other altcoins around. The price will surge when the time comes, nothing to panic about.

Ethereum is a great choice, it is the second largest blockchain with very active community and developers. As soon as they move to PoS, all of us will be able to earn some interest by staking.

Whatever that will make eth price to rally will be welcomed, I doubt if any fork sort of will cause any price crash, the value has been relatively stable and stunted compared to btc and it appears to be the reason why most alts aren't growing that much because it the alts leader

I suggest if I invest in altcoin, Ethereum I recommend. I don't say holding Ethereum is good, but it depends on market movements. If at the moment there are still those who hold Ethereum, good until the end of the year.

Its always a good time to invest in ethereum because its one of the best crypto out there in terms of value, market cap, usefulness, stability, and safety. Its history of coming back from great loss is also evident meaning its a reliable coin. Most of the tokens in cryptocurrency are also based on ethereum platform which means its very useful and functional.

I think that ETH this time will begin to grow even faster than few years ago because within 1.5 years there is an accumulation of positions on this coin

the longer eth is trusted by many people and of course eth will increase, according to the situation because the market is also experiencing an increase for a long time, whether fast or slow. so I believe that the truth of the market will indeed grow well again.

Your friends have really nothing to worry about Ethereum. Ethereum is "Ethereum" and it is the best altcoin out there. Just tell your friend to be patient and they will all be rewarded by it.

I was and still am what I call an "Ethereum Junkie". I have good profits with my past investments of Ethereum. Not anything that could make one rich in his wildest dreams but one that can provide a good life. I am confident that Ethereum will continue to be one of the best coins in the market and will continue to invest in this.

Yes I can see with time ETH is being famous more investors are taking part in investing I ETH so it will be very higher day by day, same as all other crypto coins I am sure ETH will show good increase in price, it is being popular in so many market so people are agree to invest even when the price is down but people are investing as price is gonna be high very soon.

At the moment of the development of the crypto market, the dynamics of the cryptocurrency rates are determined by their investment attractiveness, and not the efficiency and practicality of the technology.

This year, the Ethereum grew not as good as many would like, and now at all there is fall. But ETH is a popular and strong coin and many buy it and hold it.

If there is anything I have learnt about Ethereum, it's the fact that it is resilient and have stood the test of time, if you want to buy because of the hardcore, just buy for the love and the future developments, don't buy because you expect and extra token, you would be disappointed.

Ethereum can't avoid price dump even there is an upgrade ongoing but it will not last long and will recover swiftly. Because it is not hardfork but a platform upgrade, we will see an improved ethereum next year. This ethereum upgrade might also improve the price of the coin in the years to come. There might be an another all-time high if the upgrade is proven successful.

Its the best of all altcoins, I also believe they will grow more and that future development will continue to happen. I don't have much ETH since I focus on bitcoin, but I think its hard not to hold at least a small amount of ETH because you can gain profit on that too. I see the market is quiet down, buy ETH because its cheap.

One way or another, the team is working to improve ethereum and any update cannot be worse than the previous one.  If the work is successful, even before the end of this year we will see real results, which in any case will affect the price of the ethereum.

i don't wait on hardfork. At this point, I am looking forward to update 2.0 of ETH. I think it will not disappoint people

Smart Contract technology is very much used by other cryptocurrency project projects, making ethereum a lot of people and having a strong community, I believe ethereum will never die, etherum is always the best altcoin.

of course Ethereum has its own power. I agree with you, if you have ethereum you must believe that ethereum has a better development than other altcoins. proven when ethereum in the market dropped by 3, whose position was replaced by XRP and now ethereum showed a significant development and could return to the top 2 market.

as pioneer in blockchain platform that give easinest for developers to create their smart contract , ethereum still unbeatable by another coins.so far there is not platform that used by most new projects.and i see for next several years ethereum still be best platform that have best community.

I believe most people holding Ether would be asking themselves this question about Ethereum network, what the future holds for it, since the start of IEO, most of the transaction has gone away from it, to me this is a very good thing, if the team knows what they are doing, BNB and BTC has talking away the limelight from them, all they need is just to get their Ethereum 2.0 right and the herb would be back

While I am also a huge fan of ethereum, I do not like losing money as well, I hold ethereum a lot but I also a practical guy, I bought yesterday, set stop loss and the dump today traggered my sell order and I have already bought back and could continue the process. Ethereum has given blockchain a lot but the price these days isn't encouraging at all.

l would mention that, ETH is the best altcoins and it leads cryptocurrency. l agree with you. The Hardfork can not impact value of ETH. It is highly unlikely that it will happen. l do realize it is virtually impossible. l predict there is no plight. To put another way, it can not let ETH down.

ETH is my favourite coin and I am using ETH every day for payments within our industry. Moreover, I am more than excited to see their Ethereum 2.0 update which will reduce miner rewards and increase the coin price.

Ethereum is still strong enough and it will definitely grow when the bull market comes. But I don't think it will dominate the market like it did before. There are too many strong projects now.

Still ETH supports mostly of the platform which makes it potential coin now that is next to bitcoin. Eth will gain good so keeping it and buy more when cheap is good to do now. IEO wont take place into it.

Trading the volatile cryptocurrencies have such consequences. You made an intelligent choice with buying back the same amount of ETH after the price drop. Some traders prefer to wait for the price restoration and they lose time for reaching the old break-even point of balance.

Chances are low to get the best result for the short term investing. The price is down more than 10 times and the recovery outcome is under 20%, unfortunately. I prefer to invest in the small market cap altcoins than investing in the Ethereum. Everyone dreams about the $2000 per ETH but no one thinks concerning the correction of the current market price.  

I agree that ethereum is not shitcoin like the others. Ethereum still has large transactions on the market and I think the price will break through $ 500 at the end of the year. Maybe there are many new coins that are competitors for ethereum but with a solid team, I think ethereum can be a long-term investment

I always hope Ethereum's growth will be better than now ... and I am also sure that Ethereum is a tough coin and has development all the time ... don't ever hesitate to use ethereum ... and don't panic if the hardfork time has arrived ... and I'm sure after the upgrade is done, ethereum will get better ...

I think people need to accept bitcoin for what it is now, I mean utility coin, and not expecting to be holding it as an investment coin. Ethereum has only one product and right now, the product is not really having it well, so I think we better just be using it as payment tool to send and receive money since it has a cheap transaction fee, and it also have a reliable and a stable coin.

If you picture it the way I do picture Ethereum, I think it is even better the way it is not having much of volatility because people can rely on it to make heavy payment and even salaries since it does not fluctuate like every other coins in the market. Binance is already taking over chain that usually announces them, and we also have other projects too that are already competing in this area.

I think your friends are misinformed they do not know the history and strongpoint of Ethereum, it's like Bitcoin that will never die, they have a very good platform and enjoy good support from the community, it's going to be their loss if they are going to sell their Ethereum.

Exactly, everything you wrote - I'll just add that Ethereum has amazing development team with genius Vitalik Buterin ;)

I have ordered, found globemining on bitcointalk as well. But some people say that shipping is for free, but in fact it cost 100$ on all orders from worldwide to local.

Everything is great, globemining has a great customer support and rigs as well. I bought antiminer S17 (x4). You are living in US?

Not a problem at all, your shipping depends on your locations. It may take longer than described on site.

Yeah, about 10 or 14 days. Do not be afraid of such a long duration, globemining offers a great package for safety reasons

No problem, good luck if you finally try to order

I think you're correct,
 only those who bought ethereum higher  than its current Price are the ones in panic. But after the hardfork I expect good news to follow.

I am sure that this year the ethereum will definitely show itself.  Since next year there will be its updates.  It should rise by at least 20% at the beginning of the update.

Whatever you do, hold your investments for the long term and don’t sell on the drops.The progress of this can be seen on the btc to eth exchange graph.ork secure.So can be positive about this swap and buy eth with btc (https://coinswitch.co/coins/bitcoin/bitcoin-to-ethereum)at good conversion rates.

I think fork is an effort to improve the quality of tokens/coin, here we are talking about ETH, I think ETH Fork will benefit every ETH user, we know ETH has many shortcomings, so the wisest hope is to hope that Fork will make ETH better, so hope just hoping to get an extra token on the fork.

Eth is still a coin am holding for a very long time. You see ethereum and Bitcoin, any good investors will do well to have a lot bags of them. I know many panicked during the last ethereum fork especially the newbies but what happene, the project is still in gear. The developers of ethereum are at top speed, not like they control the market to determine the value. Hold for long term, my humble advice.

I believe that the forks of Ethereum only benefit him. This means that the system is alive, developing, improving. And there is a demand for Ethereum blockchain services. Therefore, I will definitely continue to keep the Ether.
