Title: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum.

Post by: CuriousGeorge on November 27, 2016, 11:19:09 PM It seems like all of Greg sentences was becoming a real statement.
Too many forks in his chain have made the people was feeling doubt about the future of eth. just a little gap until the next fork was coming, ETH has broken. I'm already retiring from there.

Yeah I always trusted Greg Maxwell's take on the cryptos he talked about, it seems he may be right about ETH.. its too ambitious at a core level, it's just too dangerous to make a turing complete coin, because of all the unknowns that it may trigger ending up in a mess. Bitcoin is way better, it isolates the core as a simpler and therefore more robust software, then build complex stuff around it (sidechains etc) Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: Blazed on November 28, 2016, 01:25:21 AM I like the idea of ETH and I hope they continue to work on it for years to come. ETH is way over priced for where it is at currently. I would not expect a reliable ETH experience for years to come. I think a realistic price for it is maybe $1 until it comes out of alpha stages... I have yet to see any crypto be as unreliable as Ethereum has been to date.

I don't think it is the fault of Ethereum developers that their project was valued that high, it is a free market and the market are allowed to speculate, I agree that the real price should be around $1 especially after the four successive hard forks.

People are finally opening their eyes and Ethereum is dying. no offense but your topic now has no value because right now even a child could tell what is going on with ethereum and how terrible the situation with it is. those who posted topics 1-3 months ago meant something because if someone could see past all the hype and lies that is worth something not after price dropped drastically to 0.011 from 0.03 and you made sure it is never going back up! eth wont die. BTC died many times. and is it dead now? only the price will correct to 10$ and then stay there. this is the reasonable price for ETH. and if the price rises over 20$ again, then "everybody" will write: "ETH is the new BTC"..... even if it goes back up it would still be a huge pump and it will eventually end up back here and going more down again but this time in a shorter time.

This. And this takes us to why NXT and Ardor, its successor, chose to implement Smart Transactions vs Smart Contracts in Ethereum. Nxt and Ardor very specifically did not go for scriptable Smart Contracts. There are several reasons for not doing so: 1. You have no way of controlling the quality of the code. This can lead to unfortunate results and create huge problems. 2. A large portion of the market has need for out of the box solutions, not custom ones. Nxt and Ardor offer hardcoded and modular Smart contracts (or smart transactions) which are tested and secure. For most SME's these cover a lot of use cases and are more cost effective. 3. Lisk is still in development: Nxt already works, and has been operational for 2,5 years. Ardor will use the same tech. If a company wants to use software that's tested and tried, it should go to Nxt or Ardor (depending on the use case). 4. Waves is also still in development. Same argument as before. The idea might be sound, there is no way to predict now whether it will pull off its promise. The child chain architecture is unique to Ardor. Lisk and Waves do not have it, neither does Ethereum. Bloat is a problem that all of them have and Ardor is the system that is concentrating on it. Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum.

Fuck yes it is the dev's fault. They have been manipulating it since it launched in 2014 when i launched a scam topic on them because of their shenanigans on launch day. If you don't know the history of ETH corruption & manipulation then you guys should really shut the fuck up. You just end up looking like fools to the rest of us that are not a blind and / or deceitful fucking idiot profiteers. Safe to say the dumb cunt wanted a coin.. so he worked long & hard on a gimmick. APP's.. Problem is it was pointless. Then the thing was rigged for dev & friends financial advantage. Should ETH coins be worth over $20 each ? Are you all retarded ? YES you ARE ! If it was not for many of you showing up years late hoping to profit from it you would be calling it a scam. Scam = Shady project I did not make money off of. Legit = Shady project i DID make money off of. ..listening to most of you here is nothing but entertainment. :D Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: spartak_t on November 28, 2016, 02:49:46 PM That was expected and we even haven't seen a real market reaction, because Ethereum is still heavily manipulated. But it's just a matter of time (https://twitter.com/bulgar1an/status/803248539547660288).
P.S. I bet my 3 balls..oh, wait... 2 balls that resignations in the EF are coming. Why? Well... THINK! Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum.

With ETH you have a big, huge project that may blow up. BTC is much more solid, it's way harder to destroy, and way harder for some sort of fatal bug to happen. With ETH, you got a turing complete technology and that is opening a can of worms. Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: densuj on December 05, 2016, 03:28:41 PM Ethereum would of course thrive but not as a rival to Bitcoin but as a creator of new features, this could in theory push its price up but the currency is at the mercy of being quite 'common' as there are no caps on amounts of ETH to be mined!
Ethereum is a great piece of innovation, and Ethereum as a innovative tool rather than a currency! The currency aspect of Ethereum is only one of the many things it can do while the dev team is very effective I sense Ethereum is clouded by greed at the top of its ever present capstone. So take in easy ethereum is just fluctuation of price. ;D Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: hisuka on December 05, 2016, 04:13:24 PM For me, I think Ethereum will still stand of any cryptocurrencies.
Eth, is next bitcoin just for me, it will still pump in the exchange. I believe ethereum will lead and top high in any altcoins. Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: Cryptotraider16 on December 05, 2016, 07:21:16 PM for now eth will go down for sure..but in few months its may go back and when devs do the job its can be good project done.

Post by: bbc.reporter on December 06, 2016, 12:53:19 AM The title "Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks" sums it up nicely. Yes it is true that many in the community have overestimated Ethereum's potential as has been shown in the price. But the truth is now finally being told thru the market now. A lot of people have now realized that Ethereum is not the holy grail but just another failed platform. The question is, was it all a scam right from the very beginning? Did Vitalik already know it will not work the day the platform went online?

And vitalik didn't.But the clear answer about that vitalik was less for educating his system. The lift will be going down, and ETH will meet zcash at the end of the floor. :D Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: Shiroslullaby on December 06, 2016, 01:19:51 AM Hype is dying-down so price is coming down as well.
ETH still has good long-term potential but is a little stale right now, because everyone just wants to invest in the flavor of the month. Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: m0netary on December 06, 2016, 01:57:29 AM Ethereum has so many holes in the code even putting a condom around it will cause more leaks. This is like Windows 3.11
If you want a secure network better dump all your holding and wait a few years before buying back. Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks. RIP ethereum. Post by: ArdiPrabowo on December 06, 2016, 02:07:34 AM only ethereum price down, and now down trend your say RIP ethereum
ethereum technology still is good much developemnt can use technology ethreum token can create new altcoin and much dev can succes develop use ethreum token, iconomi in selling ico can get collect 10 million dollar, and iconomi use ethreum token in market down and up is good, if price is flat can't to trading Title: Re: Overestimating Ethereum's potential, underestimating its risks.
