Bitcoin Forum

Ethereum (ETH) is an altcoin: a form of cryptocurrency that functions outside of a central bank or government. The Ethereum blockchain was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and has undergone many changes since. With a hard fork that split the blockchain in two (Ethereum vs Ethereum Classic), this cryptocurrency is currently sitting as the coin with the second biggest market cap following Bitcoin. So, when we look at Ethereum in numbers, what has been achieved so far? We’ll be taking a look at the number of projects being built on the network, the number of transactions, transaction fees, network upgrades, development activity, as well as its biggest competitors.

there have been many things achieved by ethereum to date, whether it's good or bad. for the bad is ethereum managed to create the biggest fraud and continues to this day. and creating waste for the crypto market(token shit). the positive side is that they make it easier for companies who want to integrate their platforms with blockchain technology.

Honestly ethereum is a very good altcoin with no hiccups and now that the next 2.0 upgrade is around the corner only time will tell how good or bad the result will be, presently the only thing i hate about ethereum is how scammers are so free to create shit projects using the erc20 smart contract

In my opinion...

bad things like project fraud and junk tokens.
the ico project is built on the ethereum platform and generates garbage tokens. (project developer error)

good thing, platform development. many new companies use this platform for their projects, low cost, fast transactions and ethereum has great potential for investment.

well , of course, many many things has been achieved so far by ETH.
no wonder people call ETH is the the mother of ICO , even ETH created a good competitor such as EOS,TRX,BNB , but until now, no one cant beat ETH .
but , besides it , ETH have many many problem inside.
i wonder , when ETH 2.0 arrive, did they cant fixed it ?

You since 2015 base on numbers it was a huge lift for Ethereum already, the smartcontracts pioneer was already established its name, Many crypto-currency today that has been used Ethereum platform for jumpstart. and look what those platforms achieve now its a work of Ethereum.

Ethereum's large market cap is probably the only real thing it's achieved in my opinion. 

Does offering a platform for scammers count?  Because that's the second thing I think of when I consider Eth's accomplishments.  Most of the tokens that have been created are for worthless or scam projects, and that won't stop until people stop buying them.  There is so much *potential* that I see in Eth, but it just has not been realized yet.

Still I think Eth is an excellent investment because of all that potential.  I'm extremely excited that its becoming a stakeable proof of stake coin, and if I can accumulate 32 Eth I will certainly be staking it.  That was a great decision on the devs' part.

Finally interesting article. I have learned a lot, but really BTC transaction costs only 0.34$. Last time when I used Bitcoin transaction fee was near 1-2USD, much better than in 2017 when transactions cost up to 20USD!

A technology in itself can always be used for good things and for bad things, in Ethereum's case the bad things are scammy ICOs and projects with many promises that never deliver. They aren't good for Ethereum's brand, but on the other hand there isn't much you can do about it  I guess you could say the same about the internet, there are many good things on it but also many bad scams and others.

Ethereum itself is very exciting I think, there are many devs working on it with a very positive and innovative view of the its future. I can't wait to see how it evolves and what it will be used for.

Ethereum became an excellent coin and received the status of the king of altcoins. Unfortunately, many of the projects using the erc32 smart contract are shit projects.

The most controverse thing on Ethereum is the DAO hack, I know that many people don´t want to use Ethereum because of its history. It turned out that blockchain not as immutable as it is claimed  :'(.

Ethereum price boomed when people started creating tokens on that blockchain but after that bearish trend ethereum didn't do much well and lost the place to rpple but noe it able to got the second place again but I feel like it achieved nothing like bitcoin yet,people believing on this coin still its highly recognized altcoin and chances of going to zero is less which made people to hold it even the prices didn't show up this year after this bullish trend as well.

I disagree, the reversal of the DAO hack was heavily debated at the time and it was concluded that the majority of the ethereum community was in favor of a reversal. If the majority of a blockchain's hashpower is in favor of a decision then they can fork and still maintain majority. That is how blockchains have worked since Satoshi described it in the white paper, so any claim that "this isn't what a blockchain should be" are invalid in my opinion (anyone can have a different opinion of course). Some people didn't agree with this decision and forked away, now years later it is quite clear which chain the community favored.

Also this event was rather unique in the sense that it didn't require any rollback of transactions but made use of the fact that the funds were still locked in the smart contract. It is unlikely that this kind of fork will ever happen again, for example when the parity multi-sig contract was found vulnerable recently, the community voted very strongly against any fork to rescue funds.

Well, that is right. Ethereum has been creating until now shit coins that based on Ethereum. There's a lot of fraud projects that base on Ethereum or ERC20 token base. But the fact Ethereum has been doing great and it has a lower transaction fee but unfortunately, Ethereum did not overpass the Bitcoin price. Although it is now the second placer of Bitcoin I believed Bitcoin when it comes to the prices and it will remain on the top. Indeed, Ethereum is the best coin among all altcoin.

+1 OP for sharing with us a good scoop. Ethereum has been a far achievement and it will be considered now as a king of altcoins.
The articles say that the achievements are regarding the fees, even transactions fee, and network upgrades. It's almost there before when the Bitcoin price almost surpasses by Ethereum. I heard rumors that Ethereum has a goal to overtake the Bitcoin and probably they will increase about the fund just like Satoshi did. Looking forward to another Ethereum's achievement.

The numbers should be on the high side since ethereum is a big coin in cryptocurrency with much respect globally I might not know the numbers to the very detailed but it's not too far from being high

ooo i havent seen this channel before, gave you a like and sub :)
seems really high quality, i like how you said "Canadian made crypto" hehe as technically it kinda is yupp :)
ill be checking out your vids today, i love these crypto channels

Ethereum is the most preferred and number one altcoin without a doubt but ERC20 tokens is turning out to be little controversial now as it's being used as a launchpad for scam projects and fraudsters, Ethereum needs to come up with a KYC for the projects before the tokens are created which will limit the scam projects.

Wow, Ethereum definitely deserves it's number two spot on the coinmarketcap, I have been an Ethereum fan since I made my first ethereum transaction, the only downside is the scabality which is quite poor at the moment considering the fact that it can handle just about 15 TPS.

It is worth noting that Ethereum might have triggered the 2017 bullish run, I say this because ethereum is the king of ICOs and ICOs is what attracted so many Cryptocurrency users in 2017, the days of the gas war when getting into ICOs can be so competitive, Ethereum might be the most underrated coin out there.

Ethereum deserves some praise certainly. Since the beginning, it has remained at the top of altcoins and let me just add this, the number of altcoins is increasing with the passage of time. So far, none has been able to even become a rival of ethereum. It is also the most trustworthy altcoin. The development team is improving. Most of what ethereum has is due to bitcoin. We also don't need any other projects.

the biggest achievement I know of is ethereum being the number one platform and being the first choice for companies that want to integrate their platforms and make their own crypto coins.

many Dapps platftom at the moment and may be better than ethereum, but nothing can beat ethereum's success. 90% of altcoin projects are currently on the ethereum blockchain network and the numbers will continue to grow in the future.

but what makes ethereum very bad are many scam projects originating from ethereum, this is what makes ethereum's view a hotbed for scam projects. The ethereum project is constantly developing and ethereum developers always provide the latest innovations. Ethereum 2.0 is a manifestation of the seriousness of the Ethereum platform which will be launched in the coming year 2020. Much has been achieved by ethereum all this time to become the second valuable coin after bitcoin.

Ethereum has grown Like really big. I can remember the first time I got to know about it, when it was still new, I never took an interest in it. Well, I was still a newbie then and was just focused on bitcoin. After a while and then i started seeing news as Ethereum tops the chart, before I knew what was happening, it has become the number one ALTCOIN in the market, wow. I still didn't get in until after sometime, I think I got in around 2017. The Ethereum network has grown and achieved a lot, giving a platform for startups.

Well, even without Ethereum there will still be scammers. We just have to be careful and know what kind of project we choose. But looking at this from another angle you're right about it, there are lots of shit tokens that has been created.

The level at which ethereum has got to today, most especially in terms of smart contract, no other coin has been able to achieve it. This is why it has much more users than other altcoins.
Talking about the competitors. I believe that some coins, which are already in the limelight, such as EOS, Tron and the likes, are gradually gaining momentum, with the discoveries of more potentials in them. Some of the tokens on Ethereum platform are moving to their block chains, thereby widening the competitive possibility. If ethereum is able to mitigate some of the challenges it is facing, I believe that, no matter the level of competition and how sophisticated the tech of others might be, it will still remain at the top.

Scam projects are the result of our misunderstanding of purity. Ethereum was set up just to make things easier, but we use this easiness in the wrong direction. Otherwise, we should blame ourselves, not the ETH. Besides, check out this list: https://eidoo.io/erc20-tokens-list. We should see these as the reward that ETH has earned us.

What is certain is that much has been achieved. Whether it's pros or cons. Ethereum contributed to revolutionizing the internet in making decentralized web. Lots of Dapps appear in the shade of the ethereum network. In addition, many large and well-known companies adopted the network. On the other hand, in my opinion the poor achievements faced by ethereum are usually seen from market prices. Which now there is no significant movement to go up. Yes indeed this applies to all currencies. There is no definite signal as long as the king (bitcoin) has not yet started bullrun.

And the biggest thing that ethereum has created is the hype of erc-20 tokens. 90% new project are using erc-20 tokens due to ease of creation but some of them are reached it's success and some of them ended failures.
Also due to it's easy to create, many people creating a fake projects and not doing anything with their product, they just doing a ICO sale then just aiming for the market, after a month token will have no value and many projects doing thing like this.

It's like 70% of the new projects are being launch using Ethereum network and this percentage is very high compare to other networks out there. The team behind the projects are very active also so I can say that their development activity and upgrades are on date unlike others.

Being second in ranking is already a good number and if the investors, exchanges and big whales will also support ethereum then there is a big chance that it can close the gap to Bitcoin in ranking.

Try to remove eth platform on the scene, imagine what would happened on the market. Many platform relies on eth as their ground or ecosystem foe their platform while other's struggle to have their own, eth is simply there to help them. Admit it, eth has created lots of aid in the creation of new projects which mostly shill right now? Meaning they needed eth for a while. So dont forget what they achieved so far. Not just numbers in crypto market.

People who have not thoroughly watched what you analyzed here would not really know what the Ethereum worth is, and the reason why a lot of people have been judging Ethereum is because they are basically just looking at it from the aspect of speculation and for making profit.
 
They need to start looking at it from its worth technologically and how it has really been an effective tool for trading and an effective tool for building more projects too. Personally, I don’t care what the value of Ethereum is really, what I care more about is the usefulness of Ethereum for the main reason for which it was created after bitcoin, and to me, that is exactly what makes it deserve the second position that it have in the coinmarketcap.

maybe 70or80% of total altcoin projects today are on the ethereum network. but it was not an extraordinary achievement, because the average project was bad. scam projects, projects abandoned by developers, and several projects that fail, that's the average project that uses the ethereum blockchain network. and if this is one of ethereum's greatest achievements, I think ethereum is as bad as those projects.

Although there are many bad projects that were born from the Ethereum blockchain, but if compared to Waves, I think Ethereum is the best. Even platforms that originally used the Ethereum blockchain, now they have their own blockchain. So if you blame the Ethereum because has creating lots of bad projects it's not feasible, because they have no control over the platform that uses the Ethereum blockchain.

Last year was a mess and it really got most of the coins including ethereum. Now if bad projects still continues ti build up in the ethereum network then it would cost a problem to them. If problems continue to persist and including the increasing numbers of projects built on the network, it could give them a hard blow leaving another well based and updated one. In this time around, there are many people who are aiming to be like satoshi and vitalik so there is a possibility that among our generation there could be another one who can make a coin that conquers most of the others.

This coin is so undervalued, which makes me to invest even more. ETH is an awesome coin that would be on top of the market one day and I strongly believe that the next update and especially ETH 2.0 would help to achieve this.

There are already projects trying to be ETH in terms of solving ETH problems of scalability as many Ethereum platform project have been produced since it released. I still see ETH success despite of it's today price how it is able to top in rank 2 of CMC top coins, how it's able to do multiple transactions and many user and projects done with this platform that now all platforms able to do like Waves or EOS. ETH 2.0 might give ETH another blasts as well solve scalability problems.

Ethereum had achieved what they intend to do so far being a platform. The list of projects in CMC that is running under the ETH flagship is really high and like they said more than 70%.  There is yet to be achieve and I think this POS for ETH2.0 might just solve something else, if among it is the scalability we should be seeing the prices to be way higher than the last ATH.

So far I think many have used the Ethereum blockchain to create new projects. Nearly 60% of Altcoin circulating uses the Ethereum platform. But unfortunately some of Altcoin is dead. So, in my opinion the ethereum platform is the top choice for Altcoin. Apart from that, Ethereum's success in maintaining the top ranking of Altcoin makes crypto fans continue to choose it as an investment place. This makes Ethereum survive because the number one coin does not provide smart contract services, so the Ethereum platform is the first choice. In my opinion it is unlikely that the number one coin will provide the smart contract service, because the owner is no longer developing a new system.

I have been a supporter foe Eth as a project for long and i am sure they will rule the market and future belongs to them. For investors, i am super bullish regarding the value of eth in coming months and years so every serious member and investor should do there diligence and hold eth, im not giving any investment advice but my opinion and i now most people will agree with me.
