Bearish trend, I expect to buy, the support is in 0. 00900000, we hope it stabilizes there, if it breaks would be problematic.

If bitcoin up trend continuous for next few days, that support point could be broken. Better not to touch ETH right now....Wait and watch situation, if bitcoin price get some correction ETH price can get some push.

 ;) You are in all reason and btc possibly break strongly the resistance of 765$, better wait or sell ETH

BITCOIN chart

this type of analysis is never going to work for altcoins and it only works a little for bitcoin and more for bigger markets like Forex.


this is how you mostly speculate altcoins not with charts. bitcoin price is rising and as it happened before, ETH price falls with that rise.


bitcoin correction will only be back to $730 at worse case scenario and there is not much rise yet to come back anyways!

If exact correlation is a large majority of cryptocurriences

the trend for ethereum is still going down in under 0.010 maybe like OP said in under 0.009, and for bitcoin, i see that the trend is going up but it hard to say how much will it be increase because its all depend on what is going on market and the traders.

I dont know much about the chart but one thing is sure that if you are going for buying then you can just split and buy so their if their is more crash in ETH  then you should be in position to buy some more on lower rates. About Bitcoin i dont think that right now their is any selling pressure in Bitcoin my next target of Bitcoin is $800+ within short time it may be in two or three weeks time like nearly before 20th december 2016. Its just my view on the current market of bitcoin

End phase of the green lamp of bitcoin touch alt was so risky. But it is the best time for buy some ETH if we are the ETH bag holder. But the future of ETH can't be predicting.

 ??? I would expect a little more for ETH, if BTC was shot above 1000 $ ETH could go to 0. 00235000  ???

correlation exists between bitcoin price and most of the altcoins not all of them. and this correlation is the most obvious in altcoins which are being traded with both BTC and USD at the same time.


ETH will get there even without bitcoin shooting up to $1000 and it has already started to go down and when ETH goes down lots of panic sells start which will push further down.

The technical analysis works for the larger crypto with high volumes, now ETH broke the support of 0.01 confirms the fall.

Bitcoin might break $765 before end of the year 2016, it mean Eth might have know any further option than continued going down. Remember what other has said here eth will continue going down until some negative fundamentally issued happen to bitcoin.

I think it happened before because people are selling / dumping their ETH for BTC. They are converting their BTC to fiat since bitcoin is rising now. Other altcoins are also affected,for traders this is an opportunity to buy :)

ETH price versus BTC is going down because bitcoin price in USD is going up that part is happening automatically but when this happens people start dumping more in order to have more bitcoin (not the same amount of USD) that creates a dumping wave that will cause a bigger price drop leading to more dump and as bitcoin price rises more this effect becomes more severe.

if last 2 week you buy ethereum in price 0.009 bitcoin
and you not cut lost its accedent ethereum price down 0.008 bitcoin
this now you can much profit

trend now still down price, until in end year ethereum price can down, its now ethereum price incraese only corection price and then down again

Remember too many FUD was saying if the price will still going down more and more. But where from you was saying if it the correction price? Totally you can put some of your reason for that, The price was being unpredictable, Like the Bo Shen cases, everyone won't think it will happen.

this is just my Analysis about ETH yeah i can say price is cheap now but you know what ? i think that effect Bitcoin price just remind you ETH has a good community i belive price will be recover soon..lets say in the next years ;D

price of ethereum is highly unlikely to ever recover. next year as bitcoin price becomes more stable and market returns to its calm days, there may be some new pumps but i really don't think it can ever go back to its ATH

The trend is still bearish, if it exceeds 0. 01369 could go up, time and graphics will tell us

Ethereum chart

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161212/3rbz2h4f.png

It's hard to buy eth as of the moment considering its reliance on the price of bitcoin which is very bullish right now, so if this trend continues it might be better to short the current price of eth.

Well because of you use analysis technical for making prediction of ETH's price, let me use different ways and i will use analysis fundamental for it.
All of us know there is problem with ETH's network (hacking problem and stolen coins that be builded on ethereum network) that is why they (developers) needs hard fork. That is make down trend for long term.
But the developers and investors of ETH, they have a lot of money, it is mean the bullish trend for short term strategy trading.

I totally agree with you Densuj, in fundamental analysis and the technician at the moment seems to go to a bearish side, at the moment stopped the descent in 0.00765,
We hope to solve the problems of piracy

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161213/5ar23ks8.png

Well.. it is interisting discussion, but i have a question are you developer of ETH?
You are like worry about ETH's network and hacking issue, i saw on your last statement We hope to solve the problems of piracy.
Actually i don't too care about this problem because if there are chance for make profit in ETH, i will take it and if my analysis is wrong, I would not hesitate do cut lost.

prices rebounded up 0.015

It is weakening it could return to 0.009

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161215/h76kfrkq.png

The price was unstable, It seems will get another downtrend, but I think it will stable at 0.01.... 
Caused by this
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/bitfinex/btcusd
And the red waves will continue. Bitcoin was touching over 780!!!!  ::)

Forget the long against btc until correction happens or eth pump takes place... I had gone with buying at the $6 aginst usd and current price already locks in 30%. Still good value now but no later than this week to take advantage of Jan and Feb where both currency correction and eth recovery will result in good profit margin.

The price is still in the downward trend. It is better to buy when the price reverse into the upper trend, maybe in a few months.

Today it drops a little, the pint is not good

ETH appears to stabilize in a lateral trend between 0.01080 and 0.00950

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161219/3uio7lxm.png

the more bitcoin price rises the more i lose hope for ethereum future, it is getting dumped real hard each time there is a price rise in bitcoin. right now we are at $790 and many are expecting a $800 rise before the year's end.
i can see a rise happening in ETH if the POS thing happens but that doesn't seem to be near and that rise is going to be full hype rise.

As long as the big whales are not out, the price will rise.

ETH broke the support, now only see where it will stop, I think it would have to stop between 0.005 and 0.0045

The capitalization will fall below 500 $ m, soon

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161222/nyh5p3ft.jpg

Totally agree but I think it would drop more than 0.005 could go to 0.0025

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161222/ssm8jeqr.png

The ethereum price is still bearish and it seem to be affected by the rise of bitcoin price. It recovered a few points then moved down again.

ETH is in free fall, I would not touch unless I lowered the 0.0025, 0.0015

Strong historical support at 0,00172000, over a year ago


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161223/sciprpxk.png

a year ago was a completely different story and now everything is different in the market. last year ETH was still new and people were not hating it this much.

and although 0.0017 seems far, with another 10% drop of today's price things aren't looking good for ETH at all. and specially since all of the whales big buy walls are being broken there seems to be a massive dump happening. just the other day i saw a 600BTC buy wall melted like butter :D

I agree with you, but ETH compared it with ripple in its beginnings, ETH will happen something similar, I hope I was wrong

The down trend may continue till february 2017 since there is no strong fundamentals to back the project now. A lot of people have been burnt already so for the price to go up to $10 range will bring new hope for investors another thing to consider is the Elephant in the room, if the Bitcoin rally continues strongly I expect the price to hit below $5 because there will be no BTC to support the price

Where ETH will go down?

I think it can go to 0.001

So down I do not think, in the short term it could go to 0.005


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161226/36t9saxt.png

If low of 0.005 will be good option to go shopping

I less than 0.001 will not buy

It should not at all go less than 0.0075 BTC value, it has been low for a few days now and I think that the big parties behind it won't let it go down anymore.

Currently could still be the best time to buy some of ETH in my opinion. At least I'm buying some of it.

Well I already predict the crash of ETH some month before and said that this 1 billion dollar bubble will burst. People wonder why and how this could happen. These are the same people who just don't understand the purpose of ETH and the reason for the coin. Maybe ETH shouldn't call the contract wrappers "coins"

ETH is still way overpriced. I can only repeat: 1000 coins are enough to form trillions of contracts. Probably there will be never a use for more wrappers.  People should study what they invest in and if they don't understand it, the should not invest.

For daytraders still a nice coin. Made with short positions x2 and I am quite happy.

I totally agree and I keep it down to 0.001 and we will see,

We may see below 0.07 on the short time, the negative trend will still continue on ether.  ::) how about the big whale with over 2,5k btc in his pouch?

Today is already closer to 0.005, I'll pay attention to dix and wait

The bearish trend is clear, in all times we will see where to.

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161227/cv9fmat4.png

I'll wait at that price (0,001 )if I do not go down, I'll buy something else

We will see it at 0.001 the trend is becoming more bearish, and BTC is becoming more entrenched  ;D

Today it goes down again


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161228/99whwg7j.png

It's dropping a lot I think you're going to be right about going to 0.001

0.005 bottom, it is obvious

Yes it's keep droping it's value continuously because on the other side the value of the bitcoin is keep increasing so may be there are chances, but even people are loosing their hopes on ETH because it is acting like other dump coin, and no further improvements in the coin. Even markets are also not moving according to way it was.

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_eth


Oh, you may lose your train, It may get pump over 0.009...

0.005? Forget it and let's enjoying our train, dude.
Keep positive thinking with Ether and you will get your train too.

0.008 is obvious.

In fact, too many the people have annoyed caused by ether fork but it does not give bad result at all.  ;D

Just as I predicted, it didn't go more down after reaching 0.007... I'll repeat it again, there are many big fishes behind ETH, they won't let it go down much. It's only a matter of time before it once again crosses 0.01.

At the moment it looks like it has a small rebound


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161229/nbliexv4.png

so far, I feel that the prices are getting down eth. I am not sure that eth could be a good investment in 2017, although in 2016 eth provide a high enough profit. well, I just felt that eth will not survive with the emergence of various the new coins from ico.

explain pls

Strongly disagree with you, go home and took a cup coffee. It may open your eyes about eth.
They've got recovered in his dying price at this time.
New coin wasn't meaning anything. Mostly are the assets and not an original coin with his building structure.

Wil ETH or ETC be the best invest for 2017? :-\

I do not see recovery, it is still in the downtrend, if it exceeds 0.01, it could start an upward trend, not at the moment

Turned around and down 1%, BTC also low, bad signal for ETH


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161230/rzjouqok.png

Today this side, if it does not recover the 0.01100, will lower to minimums

Vitalik Buterin: Bitcoin More Likely Than Ethereum To Intentionally Fork In 2017

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, believes bitcoin is more likely than Ethereum to have an intentional split in 2017, according to a tweet he posted in response to a tweet about the United Arab Emirates choosing Ethereum over bitcoin for a real estate pilot program. Ragnar Lifthrasir, chairman of the International Blockchain Real Estate Association, had tweeted the UAE is being irresponsible by using Ethereum because it is too unproven, too mutable and unstable compared to bitcoin to be used as a real estate database.

Ethereum Price Technical Analysis – ETH/USD Gunning Higher

Ethereum Price Technical Analysis – ETH/USD Eyeing $12.00?

Ethereum price maintained its bullish tone against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. ETH/USD now looks set for further gains may be towards $12.00.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/main-newsbtc-images/2017/01/05035904/Ethereum3-825x510.png

Key Highlights
ETH price surged past more resistances against the US Dollar and traded above the $11.10 resistance.
There is a new tiny connecting bullish trend line on the hourly chart (data feed via SimpleFX) of ETH/USD, which may act as a support on the downside.
The price may continue to gain pace, and could even head higher towards the $12.00 handle.
Ethereum price maintained its bullish tone against the US Dollar and Bitcoin. ETH/USD now looks set for further gains may be towards $12.00.

Ethereum Price Upside Surge

There was no stopping the ETH buyers, as the ETH price surged past the $11.10 resistance area against the US Dollar. The ETH/BTC pair was seen trading higher, and moved above the 0.010BTC level. Yesterday, there was a minor dip in ETH/USD, taking the price towards the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $7.95 low to $9.73 high. The stated fib level acted as a support and helped the price in moving higher once again.

The price surged higher and broke the swing level at $9.80. The upside move was such that the price climbed above the $11.00 handle. It also cleared the $11.10 resistance area, and traded as high as $11.40. The ETH/USD pair is currently finding offers near the $11.40 resistance area. So, it may dip a few points before continuing higher. An initial support on the downside is around the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $9.13 low to $11.40 high.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/main-newsbtc-images/2017/01/05035904/Ethereum3-1024x459.png

Moreover, there is also a new tiny connecting bullish trend line on the hourly chart (data feed via SimpleFX) of ETH/USD. As long as the price is above the $11.00 handle, one may consider buying on dips.

Hourly MACD – The MACD extended momentum in the bullish slope.

Hourly RSI – The RSI has reached the overbought levels, but still there is no sign of a correction.

Major Support Level – $11.00

Major Resistance Level – $11.40

It is quite possible. So Etheruem is safer.

Honestly PoS is securing ether network soon. But the other country than UAE was also choosing ether.
Like russian.

So we will be close from the intentionally fork. But we have the result of the ether price right now. Totally pos was already blowing us into the sky.
But we will see about the result of ether development.

According to the graphs shown previously that is not moving upwards, really it should reach to 0.01 that we have think ETH has moved to upword. Right now ETH is completely distress position, to regain it's position it may take some time.

Would the worst happen for ETH, it seems that if everything depends on how it is tested BTC

The momentum is strong

2017: When Ethereum Will Go From IT to Enterprise


Jeremy Millar began his career as one of the first Java architects at Oracle, and is now the chief instigator at blockchain firm ConsenSys, where he plays a lead in its evolving enterprise strategy.

In this CoinDesk 2016 in Review special feature, Millar discusses how he believes the community galvanizing around the ethereum blockchain will continue to grow – and gain big business support – in 2017.

Enterprise use of blockchain technology has evolved at an almost unfathomable rate over the past 24 months.

From early bitcoin experiments, to senior bankers joining startups, to the launch of the public ethereum decentralized application platform, to the many private, permissioned systems using the technology, blockchain has emerged as one of the top enterprise IT trends entering 2017.

Yet, the market has already moved beyond the incubation phase where innovators effectively build the technology along with their initial applications, and possibly beyond the early adopter phase, too.

Increasingly, mainstream enterprise IT organizations are not only educating themselves and experimenting with blockchain, they are also aiming to tackle novel use cases and complex IT challenges with the technology.

More and more frequently, our clients are asking for assistance building MVPs not PoCs, or hardening environments for production readiness.

With this whirlwind of adoption, it is also clear that certain key technologies are emerging as potential de facto standards as blockchain platforms.
Why IT loves ethereum

Ethereum is, arguably, the most commonly used blockchain technology for enterprise development today.

With more than 20,000 developers globally, the benefits of a public chain holding roughly $1bn of value, not to mention an emerging open-source ecosystem of development tools, it is little wonder that Accenture observed "every self-respecting innovation lab" is running and experimenting with it.

Cloud vendors are also supporting ethereum as a first-class citizen: Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure, RedHat OpenShift, Pivotal CloudFoundry all feature ethereum as one of their, if not their primary, blockchain offering.

Why? The software is widely available and its simple to download an ethereum client; pick your favorite development environment and get going.

Ethereum is general purpose and easy to program – full stack and web developers can pick up the basics of the Solidity smart contract programming language in a matter of hours and develop initial applications in days.

Documentation is plentiful, as are code samples, deployment frameworks and training. Little wonder that so many companies are using ethereum as their blockchain of choice.

Today, enterprises are deploying private ethereum networks in or near production in areas as diverse as supply chain tracking, payments, data privacy, compliance and asset tokenization just to name a few.
Three challenges

Now certainly, we are some time away from seeing investment banks fully migrate securities clearing and settlement to ethereum networks.

That said, however, we already do see private ethereum blockchain networks in production – even in financial services.

Enterprises adopting ethereum face a number of challenges, notably:

    Ethereum was developed initially for public chain deployment, where trustless transaction requirements outweigh absolute performance. The current public chain consensus algorithms (notably, proof of work) are overkill for networks with trusted actors and high throughput requirements.
    Public chains by definition have limited (at least initially) privacy and permissioning requirements. Although ethereum does enable permissioning to be implemented within the smart contract and network layers, it is not readily compatible 'out of the box' with traditional enterprise security and identity architectures, or data privacy requirements.
    Naturally, the current Ethereum Improvement Process is largely dominated by public chain matters, and it has been challenging for enterprise IT requirements to be prioritized within it.

As a result, many enterprises who have implemented private ethereum networks have either 'tweaked' or forked open-source implementations, or relied on proprietary vendor extensions to meet their requirements.

Some of these are extremely sophisticated and are on the cutting edge of computer science; for example: BlockApps STRATO, Hydrachain, Quorum, Parity, Dfinity and Raiden.

While understandable, and in fact until now, the only effective approach, the downsides are obvious: lack of application portability, code base fragmentation, and vendor lock-in.
Historical parallels

Not surprisingly, this has been a point of conversation for some months between enterprise tech vendors, corporate users and ethereum startups.

These discussions have expanded, with the blessing and involvement of ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin and the non-profit Ethereum Foundation, into a dedicated group of vendors where the largest corporate users and ethereum infrastructure leaders are collaborating to define a roadmap, legal structure, governance and initial technical developments.

To some extent, this parallels the paths of other significant platform technologies, such as TCP/IP and HTTP and perhaps (from a software perspective) more relevantly Java and Hadoop.

Java was never intended to be a broadly used enterprise development tool; it was in fact developed originally for interactive television (specifically set-top boxes and smart cards – who remembers Java Card?).

However, Java had many advantages for web development with database back-ends (known as web client-server or three-tier architecture): it had comprehensive web and database APIs, it provided 'write-once, run anywhere' platform portability, simplified object-oriented programming constructs with familiar syntax, and a rapidly development ecosystem.

Indeed, it was not even Sun that created Java Enterprise Edition (at that time, J2EE); it was a plucky startup (WebLogic) and a group of enterprise customers and other vendors. Similarly, Hadoop was originally created to index the web and for advertising serving.

And who knew TCP/IP would emerge into a protocol that today, literally exists everywhere?
Solutions on the way

In this way, I would argue ethereum is one of the few, indeed perhaps the only, blockchain technology with a similar trajectory and potential.

Even the early "public permissionless" vs "private permissioned" differentiation strongly echoes the Internet vs intranet deployment considerations that were so prevalent before businesses became comfortable with security and scalability issues of public infrastructure.

By banding together the key adopters, supporters and shapers of enterprise usage of ethereum, we are seeking to provide a platform not only for the technology, but also to provide the governance and tools to create a standard for 'Enterprise Ethereum'.

It is a group of builders and doers, developing sufficient governance for enterprise requirements, but not 'death by committee' and without 'pay to play'.

Some of our collaborators have noted the refreshing nature of this approach and the pace of technical progress that is achievable from working off a single standard and open-source code base.

Moreover, Enterprise Ethereum will build upon the current ethereum scaling roadmap and maintain compatibility and interoperability with public ethereum. In fact, we believe Enterprise Ethereum will soon contribute significantly to the overall development of ethereum.

Is above 0.01

Until it passes the 0.015 would not be in a bullish trend

It looks like we are just migrating into the new client of ethereum.  ;D

Hopefully ETH will be back to 0.025-0.03BTC , my main purchase at this level.

It gets interesting, it looks like it will suber, we'll see where

I think there's still a future here. I mean, let's not forget that ETH is still the currency with the 2nd largest market cap after bitcoin.
there is still a big potential for growth, and potential to earn big on investments.
Of course there need to be some changed and eth needs to become more attractive and popular, but as the mainstream interest for crypto and blockchain rises, I think it will come naturally

yes but not because of the reasons you said, only because it is a manipulated coin and whales aren't done with it yet.

again it is a manipulation, because it is a fake marketcap. high amount of coins made the huge marketcap not a real thing.

i agree. since now bitcoin price is going down once again ETH shills may take things into their hands and start spreading FUD and pump ETH so we can make some good profit.

i doubt that any change can help ethereum. but i would certainly be interested to see how they can save it.

Using Ethereum, ChronoBank Aims to Become Uber of Recruitment

The recruitment market model is broken, slowed down by intermediaries and recruiters who in many cases are not adding much value. It is time-consuming and costly for organizations to identify and hire short-term talent. Is it a market ready for disruption?

Cointelegraph caught up with Sergei Sergienko, CEO at ChronoBank, who is launching a next generation labor exchange platform (LaborX) built on Ethereum using smart contracts.

CT: So how will it work?

Sergei Sergienko: We are seeking to disrupt the short-term labour-hire sector, creating an exchange on which buyers and sellers can trade skills for time and money.

Organizations can spend more time and money securing an employee than they do on the work itself.

The LaborX exchange is built on Ethereum’s smart contracts platform, enabling workers and businesses to connect on a peer-to-peer basis. ChronoBank is a Blockchain initiative backed by Australian labor hire company Edway. We are seeking to revolutionize the short-term recruitment sector by creating decentralized mechanisms for employers to access and rank prospective employees.

By using LaborX, organizations can buy labor and acquire the skills they need directly – in much the same way that Uber connects drivers with those looking for a taxi, or the way Upwork works to allows freelancers to access work directly.

CT:  How are things progressing towards launch?

SS: The LaborX exchange platform is built on Ethereum’s ground-breaking smart contracts capabilities. Although ChronoBank’s crowdfunding is still under way, a significant proportion of the critical development work has already been completed.

The rewards contract, which handles automatic payment of dividends for token-holders, has been created, as has the exchange contract that will allow trading between different token types on LaborX.

The ChronoWallet allows users to view offered rates and make trades quickly and easily. It is also possible to view amounts of Labour Hour (LH) tokens to be transferred in fiat equivalents and to switch between different currencies.

It looks like ChronoBank crowdfunding is going well. We have already raised large amounts of Bitcoins (around 1,200 Bitcoins), and quantities of other cryptocurrencies (LTC, ETH, ETC, WAVES and NEM).

The project has also received $1.1 mln in venture capital funding from AXL Strategic Partners and has the backing of Edway, a major labor-hire organization based in Australia.

If the split between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic wasn’t definitive before, it is now.

Ethereum Classic, the project born out of rejection of Ethereum’s reversal of The DAO, hard forked today. With that, Ethereum Classic has implemented the biggest protocol change yet, and furtherdifferentiated itself from the Ethereum project.

Most importantly, the hard fork — dubbed “Die Hard” — diffused the difficulty bomb, which was set to freeze the protocol later this year. Additionally, Ethereum Classic implemented replay protection, to ensure Ethereum transactions are no longer valid on the Ethereum Classic chain and vice versa. It also adjusted technical parameters to increase the cost of certain spam attacks.

“This protocol upgrade demonstrated growing maturity of Ethereum Classic, as it's starting to blaze its own path not only in terms of ideology, but also technical choices,” Ethereum Classic’s project coordinator, “Arvicco” toldBitcoin Magazine. “Such as a commitment to staying on proof-of-work consensus for a prolonged period.”

The Difficulty Bomb

The original Ethereum protocol, as implemented by the Ethereum Foundation, included a so-called “difficulty bomb.” Baked into the software, Ethereum’s mining difficulty is programmed to increase exponentially over time. This has been unnoticeable up till now, but by around April or May of this year, it is set to increase so rapidly that mining will necessarily become unprofitable. As a result, no more blocks will be found at all, and the protocol will effectively freeze, creating an “Ice Age.”

The Ethereum Foundation implemented this difficulty bomb to force its own hand — and that of the broader Ethereum community. As outlined in its release documents, the Ethereum Foundation planned to roll out the Ethereum project in several stages, each one requiring a hard fork. The difficulty bomb was implemented to ensure that developers and the community would have to switch to a new protocol this year; eventually working toward a proof-of-stake mining algorithm known as “Casper.”

As a continuation of the original Ethereum protocol, Ethereum Classic also included that difficulty bomb. The Ethereum Classic community, however, has decided it will not follow the Ethereum Foundation road map, most notably regarding Casper. As such, there is little need for Ethereum Classic to keep the difficulty bomb, and it was removed with the Die Hard hard fork.

This gives the project more time to work on further protocol development, Arvicco said.

“Now that the most critical technical issues such as difficulty bomb and replay protection are resolved, ETC dev team will start focusing more on longer-term changes, such as monetary policy and improved platform stability and security.”

The Split

With every hard fork, there exists a risk of not everyone switching to the new protocol, in effect creating two different networks and currencies. This is how the Ethereum Classic project itself started, of course, and could happen again.

So far, however, Die Hard seems to have gone through with few holdouts. While it is too early to tell with full certainty whether the ecosystem has fully switched to the new protocol, there didn’t appear to be much opposition beforehand. A vast majority of hash power has also made the switch — though at time of writing a small number of miners hadn’t yet.

“Even though we campaigned for two weeks for everyone to upgrade, about 0.5 percent of hash power kept mining on the old chain for a while,” Arvicco said. “That was to be expected, though; with our last fork in October that was about 3 to 5 percent. So, there is  progress.”

And the odds of these holdouts bootstrapping their own currency seems unlikely, Arvicco believes.

“Not unless there is a community ready to support it both in terms of participation and real money. And the prospects of such community is not good with the bomb blowing up pretty soon.”

I'm waiting to buy ETH but fails to exceed 0.015 seems to stabilize

Is there a future for Ethereum? Will we see again the price of $ 21? ETC will die if it does, right? How will Ethereum deal with inflation? The future of Ethereum would actually be or is in the hands of projects that are under your platform?

history ETH price can reach over 0.02 , this precision price maybe reach to 0.025 bitcoin
this now ETH price in level 0.0117
so is very long time can reach to 0.025 - 0.03 bitcoin

If it reaches that price would again be upward trend, we hope it is so

ETH remains above the bullish channel could be a good buy for this year.

this current state after the dip, where you can see price is very stable seems both scary and good.
scary in a sense that we can't say which way it is going to be more possible for it to go since it is not yet a clear shaped thing.
and also good because it is a stable price with nice volume which may very well be an accumulation phase leading to a pump.

If it seems that maintaining the price and with a high volume, possibly this will be a good year for ETH

That exceeds 0. 015 will not be in a clear upward trend, we will see what it does.

I think we will see the 21, but between 2018 and 2019

Any Ethereum news lately? The price has increased more than 4%..

Everything is the same, it is stagnant at 0.011

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/report-microsoft-among-tech-companies-creating-ethereum-blockchain-alliance/

I think this is kinda big news for ETH.

I believe that eth no longer moves no news is in maximos and as I fall I do not know where it will arrive

Have been watching eth for a very long time and it has not moved in price much in that time.
News of anything involving the contracts do nothing to the price.
Ever since Coinbase started  offering to buy and sell directly on their site i haven't seen any thing worth of notice hence not wanting to purchase this offering versus buying bitcoin.

With a new pair into the fiat currency and that gives a lot of the energy for ethereum. Another fiat pair will be coming soon. Although their update wasn't give anything but the newest pair it will more useful.

What did happen to ETH price today???

ETH and REP had a great day, maybe some news coming ahead ? I believe in ETH and its a matter of time we see new ath i think

Fiat pair for eth, all of the kind of new fiat pairs for ethereum were appearing on the ethereum exchange site such as kraken was offering a lot of the fiat pair for ethereum such as ETH/JPY, ETH/EUR
It's bring massive hype for ethereum

Is good news for ETH, how many more real currency pairs better, could become bigger although BTC takes a lot of distance in capitalization

Yes it is. You can try to visit the kraken exchange site and you will see a lot of the fiat pair into ethereum coin. a lot of the fiat pair will be coming asap.

I have an account in kraken, surely ETH will give us joys

Eth will rise again im sure with that well the price is normal to us to see when really want to a good investment i will probably choose eth because here lots of demand are happen every 2-3 months where the price of eth are increasing

I hope of a strong subidon but I wait for moment and more to see BTC so strong

Yeah for entirely true. ETH already gave a joy for us. ETH give good future for us. with various pair and more adoption by a lot of the people in this time. good movement from ethereum

The ETH price has risen quite a lot recently.

If I spend from 800 to 1100 million dollars hopefully it will continue, but the distance with BTC is very great

What do you mean?

I mean, that btc has much more capitalization than eth and the proportion could be higher

It is possible that the bitcoin will rise faster than Ethereum.

Surely bitcoin in a few years we will see its capitalization higher than google, facebook or apple, time will tell us at the moment no longer there way to buy at prices below 1000, the capitalization is low even 18 billion

Yeah you can see on the ethereum announcement page, and at this time there is enterprise ethereum alliance. This will be big in the future.

ETH, this impressive at this step could reach the capitalization of BTC, is in a clear upward trend.

To follow this pace ETH could reach the 8000 million of capitalization, or surpass the 0.08, this in na impressive rise.

Many investors are converting they bitcoin to others altcoins this day because of the probability split in bitcoin network (BTU). I do believe that the raising in Eth was as a result of btu and it will continue as far as this uncertainty remain. Eth will be the best alternatives to bitcoin.

I think it will take a few months at least. It also depends on the behaviour of the bitcoin and Dash.

Totally agree with you, DASH will be another one of the crypto that have much future.
Very likely that DASH will soon exceed the 1 billion capitalization

It seems the Dash has strong community support, not like the bitcoin with lots of divisions.

When bitcoin price is decreasing the price of ethereum is rising but when this both are rising this is much more better because on this two my earnings depends on it. There will be a good happening in ethereum and bitcoin good future too.

On the negative side, the price has a support in the form of the moving average of 100 simple hours. A break below may spark a small correction in the ETH / USD, and could push you to the support area at $ 13.00.

Totally agree the future is in the crypt, very soon we will see more than 5 cryptos over the 1000 million capitalization.

I think it's wrong, because the pump is depending on the latest update by the ethereum developers, and I think the bitcoin trend was not affecting the another coin. But it looks like the bitcoin users are trying to migrate into the altcoin trading if the price of the bitcoin is getting hurt or dying.
In this time we are seeing the price of ethereum increase caused by the demand of the market of bitcoin are moving a lot into the ethereum market. With bad news for the bitcoin and it makes bearish trend for the bgitcoin itself.

I do not think that the trend of BTC is bearish, would have to break the $ 730 for that to happen we will see what happens, ETH this clarament in a free rise, could take it to surpass the 8000 million capitalization.

If there is a hard fork, or when it is immenent, the price will drop quite a lot, maybe below $700.

Surely, it could lower of 700 $ btc everything depends where they want to take it to not finish with BTC, even if it falls to less than 500 $ it would not jeopardize much more of that if it would hurt to miners that invest much in mining bitcoin.

Seems to stabilize at 0.05, and BTC costs you lower than $ 1000 is making a very strong support

Some developers want to cut the miner's reward. that will dent the price of ETH.

'dent' - in what meaning?

When supply decreases price should increase.

giant is awake lets see what it does in future

If, totally agree with you, should rise, to where, could rise from 0.10

Eth for this month is pumping since the price of eth are became 50$ this month and waiting for the big pumped happen before i'll sell all my eth keep supporting on eth my prediction in eth is will going up again into more like it will not dropped anymore but this is part of eth for traders to make a good profit.

There is a discussion about reducing the mining rewards. That will reduce the investors confidence about the ETH governance.

Tremendous rise of ETH, can exceed BTC in capitalization?

ETH now is unstoppable, there's a lot of coins try to compete or measure the capability of ETH  but they failed. Because ETH was not stop raising up the price in the market. Value of ETH for now is amazing were cannot expect that their coins will be valuable. That's​ why now I try to invest in this coins because I think that their value in the future were strongly raised up.

Yes. Mining has become more complicated. But the price is on the level. If you about it.

Impressive the rise of ETH, how far up?

The resistance is in $ 400 and the support in 300 $ we have to watch to buy or sell


It seems that it is starting to cost him to rise, would be healthy a correction or we will see stronger falls after

We are probably coming to a correction we will see how far the major capitalization BTC and ETH

We see the september 2016 the price is lower than 0.009 . If I know ethereum will pump at this price today I can buy more last year. But its okay because I have ethereum and I will hold it for few months after that I sell it to make a lot of profit. Pump ethereum more increase. More money invest now .

We will see to where it holds the moment rise follows the clear upward trend

The exhaustion is not yet evident, could touch new maximos if it stays above 300 $

Not sure if it has been posted in here yet but interesting article on ETH:

https://medium.com/@WhalePanda/i-was-wrong-about-ethereum-804c9a906d36

I totally agree with what the post says, let's hope it does not affect negatively when the correction comes, the valuation went up very fast and unlike bitcoin, I almost do not support stands.

Looks very devil ETH, possible support at 0.06

It seems that ETH stabilizes at 0.10 if it does not break it, it could rise sharply, if it breaks it could go to less than 0.05
