Would you consider buying $1000 worth of ether when its between like $8-$10 USD hoping the price fluctuates to $200-$300 per coin over time? Also do you believe ether will become more & more popular as time goes on? Finally I read online Microsoft has began experimenting how they could apply ethereum/decentrilzed market to better their company? Any other information you'd like to share feel free!

If you are purely considering investment in A cryptocurrency, then I think there is no difference between Bitcoin and Ether.

Basic rule- higher risk, (potentially) higher return...

The target price of Ether is to stay around $10 per coin. It is not a speculative device, it is a token for contracts.

If the token was as high as you wish ($200-$300), people would hoard it and not use it for contracts.
Butter-Boy knows this, so he will and can change the protocol whenever he wants to add more supply to drop price.
Currently Ether supply is 80 million coins. That is already 5 times more than bitcoin's supply in just 8 months.

You can speculate and buy some if you wish, but they are designed and programmed to be around $10.

P.S. This should be moved to altcoins section.

Edits: Fixed spelling, spelled "contracts" as "contacts".

I was thinking of this exactly. BTW, did you mean "contracts"?

Either way, you could buy at $8 and sell at $10, making a 20% profit. That's a reasonable sum, if you ask me.

Lol! Yeah I meant Contracts.. That was pretty weird. I did it twice too.
Thanks, I'm correcting now.

Will it rain tomorrow?  Should I buy an umbrella?  Will it go all the way up to golf sized hail ... maybe I should buy a helmet as well?  What do you think?

If my grandmother had wheels,  she'd be a bicycle.

If if if.  If I had confidence ETH was going to the moon, hells yes I'd. low all my money into it.  But I don't so I won't.  We're all going to have to just wait and see.

 I think etherium's value will not go up like that big when the time comes 


My prediction for etherium's price would be at 100$ - 110$


that is only my prediction


( ps Sorry for the bad english  lol )

I have heard a lot of news about ethereum, i think it will be become a good alt coins in future, i heard a lot of investor want to develop the coin further for competing with bitcoin

More wise if we buy ethereum wort $1000 on price $3-5/ETH, because as we know ethereum is new coin. It will come time where hard dump to ethereum.

You are correct MS are indeed experimenting with Ethereum hoping to implement it later this year. So that said its good time to buy some ETH.

I'm trading ETH as well in Polo and I think the current price is the correct price range at its current stage. But if there'll be further developments like ETH being used by this and that, it could probably hit some $20-30 due to increase demand. But it could take a hit especially it seems better altcoins are also being released.

LOL oh Cartman stick to jumping the homeless  :D

And AgentofCoin they have been told but they are not too bright around here.

Lovin' the topic title too.. well done OP  ;D

Ethereum and it will not cost $ 100.
It has already been said is true, this is just a marker for contracts.
It is of course my personal opinion, but I do not see prospects for long-term investment.

The Ethereum price will rise when the newer Dapp comes out. One of the could be Augur. It has raised some funds.

Only on the grounds that I'd consider it "dead money" for 3 to 5 years. That's the way you've gotta play this game if you're swinging for the fences. The best question to ask is, "will that $1,000 make essentially zero difference to my standard of living if it's foregone?"

In other words, you have to be comfortable with being a bagholder. That's the price of swinging for the long-term payoff. And as some of them more outspoken folks are glad to point out, there's a chance you'll become a real bagholder. So I would undertake that buy only if I have $1,000 I can do without.

Interesting point, $10 is the target price set by V.
I will keep an eye on it and buy some around 5.

I will buy a lot of the Ethereum when the price is below $5. The mining cost of the Ethereum will be $5 soon.

If the rate of difficulty increase continues, the mining cost will be $10 in 5 months. So the price might reflect that.

If they are right about that, 5 $ is great price for that. When it grow on 10 $ its doubling your stash. I think even on 7 and 8 is good like someone sad above. 20 % earning is very good in my opinion. Of course more money you risk more money you can earn.

I will follow eth to see that pattern. I think AgentofCoin explained things very nicely for amateur like me to understand. Thanks for this information I will try to use it in a good way and earn some money.

If the number of Ethereum is capped at around 100 million with small inflation due to PoS, then it is possible for the price to be $1000.

It depends on the actual usage of the Etheruem. If it is widely used by companies in the smart contract, the price will rise.

NO


NO, if it is around $1-$2 i may consider buying some but not before that. it is still expensive and what i see in the market is just dump with dead cat bounces.


the day i start making decision based on hope is the day i lose money.
also it will never reach $200-$300 at the very best if everything comes into place and stars line up the price can go up to $20


i believe a coin that started by spamming (advertising itself) and spamming FUD about bitcoin to increase the investment in ETH lacks real value that does these things to get popularity.
so it will not become popular in the future either.


microsoft is playing around with a lot of altcoin these days, apparently!!
