The second powerful coin Ethereum is trying to hold its position, will it cross $400 mark?

I dont like ETH. ETH still has yet to do a proper consolidation from its rally from $10 in March. It is up 3000%. Or if you go back 2 years, it is up 40,000%. It has a market cap of $35B and wants to overtake BTC, which would be an implication if it rallied again. All based on speculation and ICO lotteries and not on actual adoption. Meanwhile it has a centralized leader who forks the coin whenever he wants and it seems to fork every month or so. I think it needs to go on a long crash like bitcoin in 2014, bitcoin in 2011, or litecoin in 2014-2015.

The question in the poll is irrelevant. Yes it could barely reach an ATH and then promptly drop back to lows like it did June'16 with DAO.

Yes is good to helpful for the future. Eathereum is increases the prices monthly for $400. So it sugest for the cryptocurrency for the future. Eatheruem is next level of the bitcoin. So if need for the information. Now Ethereum is will be use to for the more transaction equial to bitcoin.
Nowadays  bitcoin is use the all people for the transaction process.

Regarding on the poll. I did choose  I cant say since no one would really able to know on what would be the ATH of ETH price on a particular date or time. ATH do always happen since theres an infinite possibilities when it comes on peak prices the question is when and how would able to reach that point. I agree on the fact that this is the 2nd powerful potential coin on this crypto market which can really rise up its price in the future. $400 is reachable but seeing on the movement of the price it would still takes time.

I choose option - Can't Say. However i feel that Ethereum is a powerful coin having uses, community, technology etc which may lead its price go high. For long time its price is stable. Many ethereum holders sold ethereum and buy bitcoin/BCH or other altcoin. As per my though, there may be a good chance for ethereum to cross $500  ::)

I'm extremely bullish on Ethereum.

It is revolutionary technology and it is run by a competent team of not just developers, but an entire community who is already starting to adopt Ethereum's technology. These ERC20 tokens that are being used are just the start. We should see real traction once the dapps are built

Ethereum is second good currency after bitcoin, not mean to say ethereum should overtake bitcoin but looks it will cross $400 soon.
Ether is not used widely as payment like bitcoin but people mostly use it to manage projects like Icos.
As compared to bitcoin, ethereum has less coin supply, however it is so strong rather than altcoins.

no one knows if this coin will cross that value within this year but for sure it will in due time, as we seen that its still continue holding its position and still being use by most new tokens projects, eth will rise and will make another jumped with its current value we just need to be patient and continue using this system for more improvement.

It will be quite hard in my opinion, yet ETH is connected with so many ICO tokens and it's price remains dependable. I am waiting for it's deep to buy some :)

Is it? Are you saying that because it is doing well in the market, or do you really believe that Ethereum is technically a good network that can work out to be a "world computer" as it was first marketed to do?

Well, its good, it shown that bitcoin is not the only one cryptocurrency that can survive. Many investors will also interested to ETH.

Huh what are you even trying to say eth has unlimited supply. And if you didn't know eth has a supply of 96 million currently while btc only 16 million. Please do any research before making any false claims.
Eth is not being used as a payment but if you compare it is faster and also cheaper fees than btc.

Well honestly even eth was a ico and in today's day most ico don't end up fulfilling what they have promised so you can't really blame eth. It does have many other good features like the smart contract and even a easier interface for raising funds.

I expect Ethereum to cross $400 mark quite soon. However, as one of members already pointed out, Ethereum have not gone through a period of proper consolidation. We are ahead of intensified volatility in Ethereum market.

I am bullish with ethereum and i am trying to buy as much etherem as possible before eth will cross $400 again. If it will break $400 ath price there will be not much sell pressure upto $600 to $700. $1k possible within 2018 so it will be wise decision to buy eth even at current price.

It really hard to predict as of the moment because ETH has been in a roller coaster ride as well after reaching its all time high before. But its up to almost $370 now, maybe it will be just a matter of time before it can go and test $400 again. My only fear is that investors might suddenly dump the coin, because that's what happened before.

ETH is a good project, lots of used and its even faster and better than bitcoin. ICO's has really a big impact of ETH market because we all know that it is being offered as mode of investment during crowd funding, as long as there are ICO, I think ETH will survived although I have questions on the sustainability of it.

Ethereum will surely reach a new all time high before the year ends, apparently more and more people are getting involved in the crypto space.
IMO, no matter how many pumps and dips happen, the crypto space will continue to grow.

I think ether will cross the $400 mark soon, and will probably reach $600 or something like that. Regulation is helping both bitcoin and ether in my opinion. Big investors will love to invest in ICOs if they consider them safe. ICOs facilitate the fundraising process of new companies, and the only setback right now, is that there are still plenty of scams in ICOs, and financial authorities are still trying to solve these issues. If they succeed, then ethereum will have a massive rise.

ICOs are here to stay, and this is why Ethereum is here to stay as well because it's closely tied to them, so investing in ether is always a good option.
Vitalik is also well respected, and we all know how a good dev team is important for the success of any project. I 2018 will be a good year for both BTC and Ether in my opinion, and I'm quite bulish on both of them.

Actually etherium is my second favorite after bitcoin.
I think its slowly improve its price and nearly to $400.

I’m quite confused on something. You said Ethereum has a market cap of $35 billion right? Then it’s one of the best, cause BCH has a market cap that is quite less than that, but price rate differs. You shouldn’t say that Ethereum is not a good coin, seriously, it is. I see Ethereum as the next best cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin.

The current price rate of Ethereum is $364, so I believe it is possible for it to reach $400 and even cross the line. But wait… did you just say the second powerful? Eehm I’m not quite sure of that. I think Bitcoin Cash is the second powerful, because it has a market cap of $21.6 billion and a price rate of $1,285.36 as of recent.

Second powerful since it is #2 on the coinmarketcap.com, a lot people saying mostly the believers of it that it can surpass bitcoin and be the number one coin. And everything is also possible to ETH, supported by bunch of ICO's out there that mostly preferred to join them with ETH. There's a possibility that it will cross $400 soon but there's no exact time nor date on when it can happen. The best thing to do with your ETH is hold if you want to treat it as long term investment or just sell and divert it to some other altcoins for day trading.

I do support the ethereum but none of the investors are allow ethereum to burst as a peak value which can touch upto bitcoin level. Even splitted coin that as considered as also a altcoin only not can be compare with the bitcoin and all.
However, ethereum bumps to it own peak this time even all the ethereum based smart contract coins are also increased gradually in the market place.

i think it could happen, in this time ethereum price more increase. it will be good news for ethereum holders. And I think in end of year ethereum will  through $400.

Ethereum  will surely cross the 400$ or even 500$. It is a good coin and there will be more growth in it. Perviously it was the second best after bitcoin, but now due to the arrival of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold, there is a real threat to ETH to stay at the number 2 position. Bitcoin cash already have high price than Eth.

Haters gonna hate, but all charting indicators triggers that ETH or Ethereum will have a MASSIVE pump soon to happen, actually its already happening. From 390usd to 1600usd. Once ETH, XRP, LTC, DASH, XMR, ZEC, and all major altcoins taps the top, profit will flow to secondary altcoins.

Its has already crossed $400 and I'm still amuse by this project. I still remember back in June that this coin has really reach its peak and I thought that its done already after its crashes. It took at least 5 months to really recover from its fall. And holders of it are very happy now. I hope that this can be sustainable so that bitcoin and ethereum can end this year with a good pump. Although their most sought flippening didn't happened before, but still ethereum is doing good. The only thing I don't like though is that as most altcoins, tendency to be pump and dump is always there.

On a side note: I'm still holding around .14 ETH and its good that the price is going up.  ;D

Glad to see this news.....
I think Ethereum cross $400 soon.....

The difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin is the fact that Bitcoin is nothing more than a currency, whereas Ethereum is a ledger technology that companies are using to build new programs. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum operate on what is called “blockchain” technology, however Ethereum’s is far more robust. If Bitcoin was version 1.0, Ethereum is 2.0, allowing for the building of decentralized applications to be built on top of it.

your poll says ATH. if you have USD ATH then it has already reached with this pump. but if you have the BTC ATH which was 0.15BTC then i seriously doubt that ethereum can see that kind of price at all. there currently are a lot of issues with it and not to mention the 96 million coins supply!

there currently is a subtle ethereum pump going on which seems to have started as soon as bitcoin price became stable. i think it can continue a short while longer before it pops.

Ow ethereum hit $400 above i coudn't imagine that it can increase more above $400 this will be a new level of ethereum since more people knows about bitcoin there is possibility that the price of ethereum will also increase in the future.. 
Bitcoin is main and already been experience a lot of issue and until now having issue about miners fee and transaction size..  but hope  soon they can fix this issue because this is the only issue if this will be fix expect that  the price can be increase more .
Ethereum will be stay the same because only few companies are supporting eth..

Ethereum is one of my mostly liked coins because of it's technology. It's technology is being used by many platforms and industries nowadays mostly in ICOs. There many ICOs that are using ETH for its initial trade which is spiking up ETH's price and this might be the reason for it to achieve its all time high. The coin has good potential and may cross $500 this year and might achieve the $1000 target until next year.

It  has already crossed that mark and still pumping hard to set new ATH price above $500. I think price of one ETH will be around $1k within a year time or even earlier if the craziness over ICO will remain same throughout next year like this year.

Loading our bag with ETH at current price can be one of the safe investment we can make for next year.

ETH is going slow compared to BTC since the past few months, but that doesn't mean it will stop. I am really hoping for it reach that $1000 mark, BCH is reached it too easily. And btw it already reached $400 mark, let's see if it sustains it or not.

Usually when the new year or Christmas Bitcoin will decrease, I hope this does not happen. I need a stable price this year, because it affects other coins. Eth will be affected as the day's gains will continue.

Everytime bitcoin price move ethereum nowadays always try adjusting itself to around $300-$400 .
If then ethereum back to the previous ATH at 0.15 bitcoin , it will has value around $1,200 or so which i personally think it won't happened in the near future.
Bitcoin value stuck now for a while so people looking for other business in altcoins such as ethereum and even doge it woke up now.

Personally I do not see Ethereum or the other big Alts as a good option in BTC trading.
Many smaller Alts Midcap are very low right now and just startin to recover in the past days.
Compared to ETH there is much more potential in Midcaps.

You must be very serious or gone insane while saying that, right? Its previous high was .14 BTC, that was too a pump and it was proved by the speculators when traders dumped their coins back and took the rally down to half ~.07 BTC in less than 2 days. For your prediction to happen, it needs to make it up to .2 btc, you really think it has something exceptional to offer rather than those ICOs which use its smart contracts' properties? It could seriously happen, but only if they start "checking and verifying each and every ICO before they let them use their services to put up their tokens in the markets".

Yes has crossed it anyway but this is not the end point of the reaction itself, there are many more things which are yet to be finalised. I mean ether was not crossing the 300 mark few days ago but it has broken the boundaries now and the new giant leap has already taken the shape. Im sure that there is more potential for the ether than just holding the position at $400 USD. It will cross this hall mark and may start the quest to reach the 1K mark before the end of the year. And if the developer team is in the mood of making this happen then they will do it surely as I know they have got the best team behind the ether concept.

If it will be good choice to buy eth now? or i need better to wait?
15% up is result.
what i need to wait?

I think ETH has a long way to go, more and more tokens are being traded and over the next few years it could be up to the level or near to where bitcoin is currrently at but this will be a couple of years away at least.

15% up in one day is really amazing for a big coin like ethereum. I'm glad I have some ethers  ;D

Ethereum is next level for the bitcoin. So it will same for the bitcoin. So it will also good to for the future growth. Ethereum is good to for the future improvement and learn for the ethereum  it will helpful to you. It change the prices any time. So you will learn the more information for the all coin it help to for the future invest and improve your business process.

As at of this evening Ethereum was able to surg past $400 to $420, I think it is working up to assert its prime position as the most powerful coin after Bitcoin.

Well as of typing ethereum reached a new ATH earlier today so there's your answer! I think it can continue on upwards to $500 or more by the end of 2018. A correction is surely coming though at some point so hopefully it's not too harsh!

What do you mean by any of the lines you mentioned ,it is like a complex puzzle ,you are not constructing something yet you are talking a lot by putting random words here and there. ;D Glad to see that the price of Ethereum started moving after a very long time and hopefully we could see some rally before going down.

I am not sure why we saw a rally today,there was a developer meet last week and if there was any interesting news we would have seen a rally by then,i hope the recent rally is simply because the price of bitcoin keeps on increasing and so is the reason it touched an all time high when compared to USD and to reach the levels or rally we once saw comparing to bitcoin ,there is a long  distance to cover.

We must see Etherium increase it's value in terms of bitcoin and not on bitcoin's USD value.

Etherium can established a good USD price without relying on bitcoin value. So a changed must be made and hope that Etherium price will goes back again to above BTC0.08 (not USd value) like it was used to be "in the past".

No such thing as competition here. We don't need it. Instead, take advantage of the crypto that have good value around that can take us in long term.

We now see Ethereum is going up slowly but  surely and has already reached an all time high. It now has passed $400 and will go up steadily. As Ethereum is a stable technology it has all the potential to stay ahead of other altcoins. The higher price of some altcoins is only because they're being pumped.

Yes, it looks like Ethereum has found a second wind now. I really thought that it can't recover from its previous high because it suddenly slow down then there's the ICO banning coming from China that causes it to really go into a roller coaster ride. I haven't seen though what is the real reason to the sudden price increased. Someone says that there is a developers meeting last next but no concrete or interesting that came out. Bitcoin Cash also had a good rally earlier pushing the price to $1500. Only thing I can think of is that there are really newcomers in the market buying either of the two. Correction is inevitable in the altcoin like Ethereum, but I don't think it will be harsh as the previous because more people are now getting into the picture, not only in bitcoin but in altcoin market as well.

Ethereum will have some big updates in coming days.
They will activate proof of stake as far as i know which is great for etheruem.
In my opinion etheruem price will definitely go to 700$ in 2018.

I think that you are right in that the market is being buoyed by new money or people transferring away from bitcoin as it has slowed at near to its previous ATH.

nobody knows whether this coin will cross that incentive inside this year however for beyond any doubt it will in due time, as we seen that its still keep holding its position and as yet being use by most new tokens ventures, eth will rise and will make another hopped with its present esteem we simply should be patient and keep utilizing this framework for greater change.

Hope this happens as soon as possible because there are huge investors who had believed in this coin and had invested considering that this year it will make some very good return and it has fall flat. The return has not being much and waiting period is too long it seems for now.

I think comparing to Bitcoin, ETH isn't still that high. It's just a start of Etherum, the next goal of ETH will be 1k$ soon in the 2018.

they really need to put all their backs into pumping ethereum if they want to reach $1000 or they have to do something serious about the circulating supply which is 96,000,000 ETH compared to 16,000,000 of bitcoin!!!

besides when you pump an altcoin, it is like sending an invitation to everyone holding any tokens to start dumping them. including all these ICO owners who raised millions of funds in the past months who will be waiting for an opportunity to dump their free money and get out.

Eth is rising tremendously the demand is getting higher by the day, cause it is going to be a proof of stake token from what I heard and eth's popularity makes it even better. Some people will be so eager to get the dividend because it's eth and the profits will be huge.

---

  Eth is all set to break records now, it has crossed 400$ mark and the next one should be 450,if not, then it should probably drop back to 300$.

It's hard to do it with ETH. It has a lot of supply and it needs bigger market cap of doing it so. The choice in the crypto is still depending on what will be the supported coin by most through this community. The fact that I'm not seeing it reaching the same value with bitcoin, that's not going to happen. Although it's on the second spot why not just be contented on it or else its place will be taken over by BCH.

Only hodling around 1.xx eth for now maybe will raise this number in case if the price went down a lil  8)

i believe it can reach up to 500 USD and not less than 450 USD by the end of 2017 

The only thing that is missing for it to reach 100,000,000,000 USD  market cap is utilizing it in more markets that accepts it as payment method

I think it will reach it's all time high, because the signs and patterns show that it will.  Also more experienced investors like Billionaire investor Novogratz predicted it will reach that mark.

But the total price is still much lower than bitcoin so I don't think this will be problem to manage this case. Ethereum can be $1k easily. This doesn't mean bitcoin price will stay constant, it will rise too. They will go together. So it's very possible for ethereum.

I think it will do a nice rally, establish a ATH and then it will retrace for a period for consolidation, especially as now the ICOs are having less success than some months ago.

i see the ethereum price is going to rally and will go higher than the price before. i remembered the highest price is at 0.1 btc and i am waiting to see the price again. if bitcoin price is dump so hard, then i think the chance for ethereum will be available so ethereum will be increase soon and maybe next month is the right time to go up.

Ethereum is a very good potential coin than $ 1000 so current price is not all time high for the ethereum is still long way to go.Ethereum price will reach upto $1500 by the end of 2018 but the price will keep increasing after 2018 also so keep holding your ethereum if you want huge return.

Etherium will reach its all time high within end of this year because Raiden network launching its micro Raiden layer on December 1st and Institutional investors also coming into crypto market where they got attracted to Etherium mostly due to its high advantages over the others.

This really interest me and i really feel motivated to buy ETH into my wallet for future profit.

I agree with the reasons you give especially for the advantages possessed by ethereum. The current price is not good to sell it. I still hold ethereum for some time to come

In fact ethereum is already at this moment reaching its ATH right now, but only in relation to the ETH/USD parity. It still seems quite far from its historical maximum in terms of the ETH/BTC quote, beyond 0.11, which would imply a price above $ 900 at this time, just the double of its current price.

Many people  are leaving bitcoin for Ethereum because of the transaction taxes and times. In my example for the same sum of flat currency you pay a lot more in taxes when you are trading btc.

It did, it's flying over 440 right now and it's beautiful to watch, have been waiting for this quite some months now and it's nice to know that holding does pay off, instead of making a quick buck whoever trusts in the coin just holds and profits eventually. I think it's a good lesson as well for many new investors, if you believe in something and you really think it can have a future impact, invest in it and don't expect to be paid back instantly. It will definitely take some time until the vision of the coin is materialized, but if you manage to buy enough early then you are sure to profit if that vision does get realized. ETH's vision is simple to grasp and realistic, the main platforms for decentralized applications, that's it. It's already there and it will reach that point in a couple of years.

455 already  :o  :o that is far more than my expectations ?!!!
a lucky day for us i guess  ;D ;D
i hope it stays like that.., maybe it'll reach 700 by the end of the year

i hope one day in 2018 reaches the 1000's so may  answer to your question is no i think it yet has not reached it all time high.

It has already surpassed the mark, $400, you have stated. And I am hoping for it to reach the $1000 mark! I think you should start investing in this coin also, it will surely have a profit.

New ath has been getting recorded with each small value increase. It's not the time for selling, it's the time to keep hold of the ethereum. Lots of controversial discussions have been found around related to ethereum. Among that majority of the statements describe that the price will surely go much higher in value than the present. Let's keep hold to experience the reality.

I'm really excited about this, I am a big ETH believer and I do believe that one day it will close the gap between bitcoin.

glad i held through this!

The cost per ether for most of the traders is around $300 and the current price is not that good to get fiat money. But it's up to your strategy. Once you can wait, the decission taking will be determining the resulf of your net profit in ether.

What are you talking about, look at the chart and look at the price against bitcoin, ETH is still very far away from its all time high of 0.15BTC per bitcoin at current prices ETH will have to surpass 1200 dollars just to get to its previous record so this is nothing more than a small correction upwards.

I don't think in just 1 month it will reach $1200 it need a time.
the present rate is not a good price those who are holding this coin for a long time. it's just increased $150.
when it will increase like BCH means up to $1500 or $2k that is the good time to sell your ETH.

I totally agree with you. 1k is not far from now.

I think this is not the end, by the end of the year, the Etherium can show $ 600. It all depends on how grandfather bitcoin behaves.

It has crossed that mark, and now its heading to the next mark $500... do not be surprised when it goes to $1000 before the summer of 2018

Yea i think it will see all time high this time. It had it coming since end of summer. Ethereum will not let his believers down this time.

So we all knew that good alts like ETH can surely reach their old ATHs, it was always just a matter of time. I am sure many who bought at $200 are now very happy for this x2 of solid value. And when I say good, I do not mean I like it, I am simply saying it has good prospects. We can have all the misgivings we want but we cannot ignore the strength it has achieved this year, especially after falling against Bitcoin so often.

For me, $500 was always the new mark, if it is achieved this year, a small bonus. $1k is a long, long way away. Let us see the true effect of the fork and POS before making hasty assessments.

now I see already exceed the number and for next year maybe my prediction eth will reach the price of 750 $

Lot's of people are making kinda enthusiastic speculations about Ethereum's price and how it's gonna rise pretty soon and even double in value by the beginning of 2018 , yet i'm pretty sure that this won't really happen and at it's best Ethereum won't surpass the 500$ , it'll be a real challenge for it to cross that . Bitcoin is rather stable these days which means Ethereum has a little gap to "go crazy" and get pumped by people who aren't hyped anymore about bitcoin . So Ethereum's graphs might be green for the moment (8.95% today) which made it reach 460$ , but this won't last long enough to have a "Super Saiyan" growth such as bitcoin .

I guess it will not fall to $ 400 again anymore. If it falls below this price, my confidence in Ethereum will decrease and I'm confident that this stage will be better. I will not be able to tell you that my new price is 600 dollar.

now it is beyond what you expect and I think for next year will be able to achieve 2x than you expect at this time.

So finally, as I've been checkers for a long time. Finally, the ethereum has grown and I am very pleased with this. Maybe the price will soon cross 500

Ether gonna to fall but not more than $400. In my opinion, $450-500 is a decent rate for the next 1-2 months.

some people says that this is because Quantstamp (QSP) technology will helf Ethereum based contract greatly in term of security.  

QSP's ICO was a success and it has seen steady increases after ICO.

QS might have saved ETH

500 today   8) ??
it's not far to reach i guess ..
does anyone else think that will happen ??

ether is much cheaper in transaction cost than in btc. and to pay gas price it is required to have eth. so eth will stay and price will go up. some donations and presale of new altcoins use eth too. it accumulates too fast.

I think ETH will re-become the second-ranked currency, after all, can not let these so-called bitcoin son casually beyond the original cottage boss, they are nothing but a copycat money.

Ethereum is one of the most promising crypto. I think ether will surpass its all time high. In the near future ethereum will reach $1k.

I hope it won't. Because ethereum is still vulnerable for any attacks and still have the character of being volatile, therefore their price can be change anytime just like other coins. And the biggest thing that could help this dump to be avoided is the fully support of the community and investors picked for investment.

Easily - will probably break through $500

Yes, Ethereum will achieve its ATH in this rally, $500 or more. BTC on the other will be more too so I don't know how it will affect to ETH.

Does anyone know why Ethereum pumps up nowadays? I dont hear any good news from it and just so curious. For last few months, the price is always around 300 Dollars.

What is the cause of Ethereum hitting all time high from $400 upwards? I guess is the numerous ICO using it platform.

Honestly, we really cannot say if Ethereum will or not. It is really long overdue anyway and I really hope it does.
It has been finding it very hard lately to break this resistance and if it can then we should be looking at a new ATH after that. As far as I am concerned, it has been very disappointing and boring thus far and I really do not see why it is not really giving a huge push.

I cannot judge what will happen after January, 2018, but till this time Ethereum will constantly grow. Today it is over $460, and soon it will reach $500. Probably there will be a rollback after it.

All technical analyst here are probably satisfied now ;D The triangle breakout on Ethereum was a textbook example. If the "textbook movement" continues, we will see bull trend with a correction to approx. $380.

Could very likely follow the textbook. Only serious competition inside the smart contracts market niche could steal Vitalik's crown by now.
LSK Lisk seems slacking on their SDK release, RSK Rootstock still in it's infancies.

Care to post a TA picture / link to some analysis?

I have just made some analysis and research. I can say, ETH price will cross around $700 in early 2018.

I predicted Ethereum will surpass $500 before the year ends so I'm looking forward and we're very excited about the peak. I owned 2.5 Ethereum and it's actually good sign to me to invest more.

It's already pretty easy to understand that it can climb even higher than 500$ very soon. I suppose we will see 600$ in Dec 2017.

Bitcoin was actually laying low graphically but then suddenly late 2015 it was pumped and pumping never stopped so Bitcoin's value continued to rise like a rocket.
Ethereum will have a future too if this pumping don't stop then people would love to invest more and some Ethereum owners will continue to hold until the price also rise as high as Bitcoin Cash ot Bitcoin

I believe that Ethereum will continue to grow up. It is approaches the mark 500$ at the present days.

Ethereum is obviously a very good one and it is surprising to see that it has not really been given much of a push lately.

The chances so far of really getting anything much from this coin is bleak for now and except one is holding for a long term though after buying from the recent dip, then it is going to be fun if it does but at this stage, the direction is not even imaginable and it is better to just not expect too much for now.

Still Eth price is comparatively very low wrt BTC. Hope some huge correction shortly.

ETH will be massive. Smart contracts will be huge in future, and there is a good chance that ETH will be leading the way. The current price is good, but it can go a lot higher. We are very early on, and there will be problems along the way... like cryptokitties slowing transactions almost to a standstill! But ETH will grow, it is in constant development, and PoS is coming too. We will see many new ATHs, as well as the sort of dramatic corrections that are so common in crypto.

Now Ethereum is one of the most popular and powerful of the coins being in second place in terms of capitalization. And this just a year after launch! I think at one point the Ethereum will overtake bitcoin in terms of capitalization and will cost more.

ETH is young coin and there is a high risk of failures and bugs in the work of the ethereum system, which is confirmed by the latest news. But I believe in this coin  :D

How is this even close to an all time high? It's almost at lowest of the year. 0.15 BTC in July, only 0.039 BTC now.

Ethreum is the best coin after bitcoin. It is based on smart contracts which is really good concept!

Today, there are a lot of contradictions about the Eterem and its prospects in price. Although if you consider that eth is basically a stable currency, today huge growth is very worrying.

eth should easily cross into a new ATH by years end. once this kitty fiasco is done.

Ethereum is down from 0.15 BTC/ETH ratio all the way down to 0.03

Yea what a winner! The only thing it's good for is losing your bitcoins.

A pathetic KITTY app crashed the network, imagine what happens if anyone actually used it for something legitimate, lol.

What a useless piece of crap!

I know and I understand what your talking about. But since everybody here are free to express their feeling about it, but then all of our view of comments actually, will only be an speculation depending on how they believe in it and I respect that. In fact, for me right now Ethereum was in a cheap price value which I think its good and right timing to buy in then hold. Due to for  believing by next year 2018 it will  increase and resume at the original price were I knew we can get a big reward to those who hold this coin anyway.

I think not $ 400 but Ethereum could reach $ 500 by the end of this year.
it is one of them disebabakan because now a lot of ERC20-type coins that appear and try to expand its wings to fly high to the moon.

If they can't fix network problems soon; than i guess 500 USD impossible for 2017; even 2018 first quarter. But if can fix soon this problems; and if cat, dog, pet games will keep using ETH network; probably ETH 600-700 USD in 2018 first quarter.

About that,you're right it still needs a lot more time to compare the performance of the network in general terms with respect to current performance,perhaps over time it becomes much slower and with a greater number of problems,but for now it continues to appear as the number two.

Apparently, no one can predict the future and we can only assume where it could head to in the first place. Ethereum though has not really been that pleasing to trade as the level has been so slow lately and annoying to trade. I cannot imagine trying to expect it to break a point and then dropping back down after wards. It has been a long time and I hope it does.

Bullish? I really do not see that bull run so far. Ethereum has not shown any sign of a bull run or even making an attempt to break the previous resistance but I guess we just have to keep watching to see where it is going to head eventually. I have held for a while now after the huge dip and I am really optimistic as I am not really looking forward to taking little profit. I hope it comes soon as I am getting pissed already.

Ethereum will be more than 400$ before the end of this year. I have a good feeling that eth will be at 1000$ by the first week of january 2018 ,and i dreamed about it, maybe because i was so addicted to crypto and earning money.

I do not think ETH can be regarded as a young coin. we know that ETH has been created for a long time, compared with most existing altcoins. ETH always provides price stability that makes us all confident. In addition, there are so many systems that use ETH today, for me now ETH becomes the second best coin in the world. ETH guarantees and gives no worries to all of us who have Etherum, this is a form of trust so that it can make the Etherum price will increase as well.

The truth is that ETH has passed $400 strongly. There is no doubt about the value of ETH. But now there are some signals point out that ETH will reduce in next days.

I am very disappointed with ether today, its going down and down and loosing the race. I was hoping it go on a strong year end finish, but its declining the race due to bitcoin price rise.

Yes. I do agree with your point. Clearly, ethereum is not something we can call young since it has been a big player for a very long time already along side bitcoin. although ethereum always tend to be a currency that only does follow the shadow of bitcoin, it is still a currency that we can really call amazing. It increases slowly and surely unlike most of altcoins out there. Not to mention its wide space available for improvement and profits, it really is something we cannot look down.

Ethereum price pushed higher than $400 and it is still stable at those high prices. That really makes me happy, because I bought enough Ethereum in the last couple of months :)

 :)yes eth. Is good currency after bitcoin.
Ethereum reached an all-time high above $400 Monday, continuing a surge in cryptocurrencies in 2017. The cryptocurrency jumped as high as $415.31 a piece, up about 5,107% since the start of the year. At the same time, bitcoin reached another all-time high over $3,000 over the weekend, over 210% year-to-date.

It looks stable but it's not stable. In some exchanges it already dropped to the level of $430 and this is not good news even Korean makets' $500 price. Bitcoin can push it down easily.

Why is the price of ETH now going down while BTC is going up?
Lately they were booth going up or down... are those Kittens still making problems to Eth?  :-\

I liked ETH coin for fast transactions, but lately load of network has very much increased. Transactions go till many hours. But I trust in the future of this coin. Its price will repeatedly increase.

This is to blame CryptoKitties. I already start to hate them. Because of them, my ethereum transactions last an incredibly long time ... It is necessary to increase the commission for the transaction.

I thought this signal would be a problem with the scalability of Ethereum network, which was shown by the game with crypto cats But no. ETH is still growing. I hope its cost by the beginning of the year will be 500$

I hope we still will see the rally to 600-650 by the ends of the year.  Ethereum has great potential for long-term investment. I see $1000-1500 in 2018.

Honestly, we really cannot say if Ethereum will or not. It is really long overdue anyway and I really hope it does.
It has been finding it very hard lately to break this resistance and if it can then we should be looking at a new ATH after that. As far as I am concerned, it has been very disappointing and boring thus far and I really do not see why it is not really giving a huge push.

Under such circumstances like now I believe that by the end of the month the price of Ethereum will be around 400-480 $. But I would like to make your predictions come true.

Ethereum is very strong and a good investment, steady increases.

if invest good for ETH but if you speculation for got a profit its not good, because ETH grow up slowly but sure

No doubt ethereum will always be one of the most reliable options as a store of value in the altcoins market, even though its proven efficiency does not seem to be sufficiently valued by the market, which has sustained it throughout 2017 at a level of price that seems to me to be quite undervalued.

But I have no doubt that in 2018 the price of ethereum could easily reach the line of $ 1000.

The etheric is already at the level of $ 600 for a coin. This is a very good growth in a short period of time. If the growth rate continues, then at the beginning of next year the etherium will cost $ 800 or more.

Etherium did a 300USD all time high when bitcoin was trading at about 2500 to 3000 USD. Now bitcoin is more than 15000 USD, as per this I think that ethreium should be trading at about 2000 USD and above! Just my 2 cents.

I agree. I also think that the etherium should cost much more. On this coin, most ISO projects are based, and this already says a lot.

Im so happy to see Ethereum go over $500. It gave me an incentive to start investing finally in Altcoins.
Ethereum can reach higher price before the end of the year, i believe it will surprise many people.

The ETH price will continue to rise as ICO become more regulated. It could be the decentralized version of the NASDAQ.

ETH has been sleeping for a very long time. The price did not come out of the tunnel 270 - 340 dollars. And now it's time for extra growth. People understand that it has become very difficult to use the BTC, so go to ETH... and LTC :)

I think so. Ethereum is ranked second only to bitcoin. The price always evolves following the bitcoin value.

Now Ethereum is worth about$ 700! I think by year end it will reach 1000$!

It is tough to predict the All Time High of Ethereum due to many factors. My gut feeling tells me that Ethereum will reach a new ATH of 1600$ by MAY 2018 and might even go up to 2000$ by this time next year, but I might be completely wrong. The rally by bitcoin clearly helped Ethereum to reach a new ATH recently and I feel that bitcoin will continue to rally a lot to crazy highs during 2018 which will also help Ethereum rally beside it. This is my prediction and lets see if it comes true!

All time high is 0.14 BTC, whatever be the price in $ :D

Guys, its at $740 and still climbing!! This has been an exciting ride for Ethereum, I wonder if it will hit $1000 by end of December 2017

Please, someone could explain why is increasing ETH price so high? Thank you!!

Mostly we're shock about the continuing increase of eth price today. This is just because the acceptance of the community towards crypto is increasing. And we can't deny that many investors will choose ethereum as for their long term investment among altcoins.

now the etherium has touched $ 740, and I'm still puzzled why etherium can go up so high, is it due to the pending yesterday's pending traction issues? is there anybody who can give me an answer

I don't think it's hard to predict the future of the ethereum...it is growing rapidly and this is expected for me...in general for this coin are the professionals...maybe because of that everything is so good and many see the prospects in it

that would be awesome if ethereum reach this 1k mark by the end of the year and it is realistic in my opinion.
however, if it rise in value like in the last 40 hours, it will be no problem and we will see the 1000 dollars in the next 72 hours ;-)

Yes I think Ethereum will keep rising and going up in the few next weeks and months at least. The demand for this crypto currency is very high nowadays because more people get interested about investing in ICO projects so they need to own ETH for the gas fees.

Ethereum can do so much than you think with  its current standing. Im predicting it would reach 2000$ by next month or should we say in the month of february. Ethereum has so much to look forward and with its power, applications and achievements, More and more big investors will notice this suppressing coin as much as the crypto community. So watch out.

sure, ethereum certainly had good future to bring its platform. it's really potentially good altcoin in its historical growth. i'm sure will bring better changing in cryptocurrency world. maybe it still far from bitcoin, but not impossible that ETH has potential like bitcoin in the future.

I think the ethereum is now reaching quite a drastic price and many also use ethereum as a transaction, and most likely ethereum can be coupled with bitcoin, so hopefully in the future ethereum can be better.

Ethereum is one of the leading crypto currency, it is very popular due to the fact that it is based on many ICO projects. The ethereum has a relatively small commission for the transaction and a high transaction speed. All this is the reason for its growth.

I also like Ethereum because many ISO projects are based on this crypto currency. If you have Ethereum, then you can participate in almost any ICO.

 Ethereum has indeed reached quite beyond the 400 usd mark. It is mainly to do with the huge sale in token projects.

Now is the time to have time to buy the etherium while the price has fallen, because then it will continue to grow. This is a good opportunity to earn.

It seems to me it is still possible to wait. The price will decrease a little more and only a little later will go up. Now there is a small tendency to reduce the price.

Why ETH price has increased so much in the past weeks? Thank you ;)

I think it's still not so expensive as it should be. Ripple has been pumped recently up to ETH capitalization. To be honest I don't like this because ETH is much more useful than XRP imo.

Ethereum has reached new ATH and it will reach new records by early 2018. But i dont think it will hold its position as no2 in market cap.

Drastically, ethereum is rising and may be the second most powerful coin these days.

I think that in January, the price of ETH may exceed $1000, and the price seems to have great potential. I am very optimistic about ETH.

Yes, Ethereum doesn't want to give second place after bitcoin. Its capitalization is impressive, and it grows constantly.. If this continues, Ethereum will be able to take the first place

As of now, ethereum is at its all time high. It is currently around $940. I think it may be able to hit $1000 this month. The predictions are slowly turning into reality, 2018 is the year of altcoins and as one of the best altcoins, ethereum is leading its way. I hope it will continue rising up this year. Those who have held it since day 1 were lucky due to the profit they are about to experience this year. Kudos to eth!

HHHH, now what about it? I think that ETH will rise to $2,000 in January this year, which is entirely possible because the second name is always ETH.

current cryptoeconomics has a horrible infrastrucutre everything is fixed and focused on either bitcoin or ethereum that have horrible tx fees,


i hope we can update it so other cryptocurrencies can grow in value

regards

Ethereum is the most normal cryptocurrency I have seen. Despite it's potentials, it have not worn the bubble bust growth. It's value appreciation in steady.

What is eth's expected growth for this year? Can we expect it to keep growing like that, or will we see a drop in prices in the near future?

I mean, would it be a good choice to start getting eth asap? Or would it make more sense to wait for a price drop and then invest?

Thanks!

Ethereum's price has reached 900 dollars mark as of now. If I am about to invest in crypto currencies, I will surely invest in bitcoin and ethereum. For me, these two coins are the only trusted coin. It is just only my opinion.

Ehterium price was very aggressive in the opening of 2018 after consolidation for almost 2 weeks last december this is due to high demand of ETH token which being used by ERC20 coins in trading so many ERC20 coins and all of them are designed to be compatible in Etherium wallet and token so no doubt we will see more price surge for ETH this year

Ethereum is the one you hodl. Not too concerned by short term movements as my strategy is about investing and not trading.

It has reached over $1000 now. But not sure, it holds this position how long.

it already reached pass 1000$ so technically it already way past your expectation. With its growth rate as of now, I think it will continue to grow since it is widely used on the alt community.

You are right. Ethereum is one of coin that people like to investment in this coin. I think it can over than $400. We must wait for many time :)

Sure eth will definitely close 1k before the end of Jan and 10k by year end.
Many project are been lunched on eth network and that will continue to drive the price high
Eth will be one of the coin of the year.....

in the year 2018 I think ethereum will give an extraordinary surprise. because the price will surely be higher than $1000 maybe up to $1500 and that is sure to happen because ethereum currently has a strong position and price in cryptocurrency.

no the problem is the broken infrastructure in cryptoeconomics

there is a bitcoin market there is an ethereum market but there is no market for other cryptocurrencies like waves, so

to buy and invest into an ico you always have to sell your altcoin for either ethereum and bitcoin first, to then be able to invest into that ICO,

thats he problem

Ethereum has so much to look forward and with its power, applications and achievements, More and more big investors will notice this suppressing coin as much as the crypto community. So watch out. And now the price of ethereum is $930 and its increasing.

I hope what you are saying will come true. 2,000 USD per Ethereum by February is a bit high for me. But everything can be happening here. This is just the beginning of the year, it is expected that there are huge pumps especially in Bitcoin's and the major altcoins' prices. And that would definitely include Ethereum's. We are less than a thousand dollars for now but we are still on the early days of January. That means February is still very far. 2,000 USD to February it will be. 

Ethereum is one of the leading crypto currency, it is very popular due to the fact that it is based on many ICO projects. The ethereum has a relatively small commission for the transaction and a high transaction speed. All this is the reason for its growth.

I think that I agree with you that bitcoin is not the only one that can survive and I'm also interested to ETH to grow like what happen to bitcoin because I'm also using it for a months.

Ethereum ain't going away any time soon. Should've bought more already.

The ethereum in my opinion is the second crypto currency. I like that it gradually grows.  :)

Ethereum has been growing high. Its now the best in crypto world after bitcoin. I see potential in ethereum coin. It has proved really to be alternate of bitvoin in the crypto world.

excited to see where Ethereum is headed in 2018.

Will be interesting to see xrp and ether compete for 2nd place behind btc!

This already starts to frighten me. I can not understand from what the price goes up. And I'm afraid to think about how much later the price will fall down. I need to be ready for this

eth is 1000. And at the beginning talks were about 400. That is the reality and can give a hint about future

I was too bullish over ETH crossing ATH by first week of Jan. The voting closed though.

ETH is over a bullish pattern and may see new ATH in coming weeks, but again there is strong ignorance of BTC dominance at the moment.
I am expecting the BTC dominance to become back to normal of 50-60% and if that happens, a lot many ALTs including ETH will see a downward trend.

Well said  ;)
for us believers of ethereum, short period movements might be concerning for those short term traders but for us hard holders this is something because everytime there is a dump in price it is not that great compared to other coins this is why ethereum has given me so much profit last year for holding it for too long.

I think 2018 could be the year of Ethereum with such its rate of growth. I believe in this coin, but do not forget about the king of all cryptocoins, bitcoin. Ethereum will be tough to overtake it now

Currently, ETH rates have reached over $ 1,400 according to Coinmarketcap. It is forecasted that ETH will end in 2018 at a rate of $ 5,000. Since ETH is altcoin, as well as ICO, is dependent on ETH's network, this crypto has a huge support from other crypto. So the future of ETH is very potential, can replace Bitcoin to become the crypto highest value in the cryptocurrency market.

EThereum is taking a long-term step towards a goal of $ 10,000 this year. I think Ethereum can do this very soon. The management team of Ethereum and Vitalik has done everything ETH can do to achieve today, which is the premise for the strong development of ETH in the future.

Gonna be an exciting year for ETH to say the least! Super excited to see the results.

As I monitor in exchange market yes it continues going up the value no wonder in future it will level it to btc.

Well this is an old topic but it’s also a proof about where ethereum has been once.. I should say that i really like and support Ethereum. It’s very reliable and probably it’ll hit $ 2000 in a few weeks.

Invest in ethereum now or regret while watching the price increase like crazy. Just look how much it has increased since the start of last year. Ethereum could be the next bitcoin, figuratively.

Pe has already reached the pass of $ 1300, so technically he has already passed by your expectation. With its growth rates at the moment, I think it will continue to grow, because it is widely used in the community alt..

I knew it. I saw a potential for Ethereum. People in my community began using it as well when they saw it crosses the $1000 mark.

Ethereum right now is on fire. It could possibly hit the $2000 dollar mark by the end of the month if the rally keeps going on.  IMHO, Ethereum is probably the best long term investments out of all the alt coins.

10k ez, we should have bought dozens in the summer when they were so ez to buy

Yes :) Ethereum will lead us to light ;) just hold your ethereums for now guys and wait 2020 :)

when i first saw the value of etherium 5 months ago its like 70 - 100$ range not it keeps increasing and increasing, i made a wrong decision that time i did not invest to that marks but when 3 months ago i bought my first etherium with a value of 400-500$ now my investment is double and hoping that it will triple my investment this month. 

Ethereum's price as of this writing is $1,384.81. Analysts largely believe ethereum's ether token is most likely to spur, given it has increased 3,000% this year with no signs of slowing. Indeed, ether's market cap has been drawing steadily close to bitcoin. Some market observers emphasized the key role played by token sales (or ICOs) when explaining why ether's market cap might surpass that of bitcoin's. Further, the concentration of ether in the hands of a smaller set of startups is creating new economic pressures on the network. Good news for ETH holders.

Too bad for them because they need to wait eth to touched that amount before they decided to buy without realizing if they bought when it's just like $300 few months ago then they'll surely now enjoying their profit. IMO, this is how some people think.

I think ETH will surpase $1500 in march, let's see if I'm right. What do you think?

For the time being Ethereum really scares us down to 900 and more bucks. Now all crypto market is falling. Red icons in all points of cryptocompare resource. But I expect to take off after such a big fall

Ethereum can reach 10k target this year. Ethereum is making huge reforms to confirm its position. Ethereum's management team, led by Vitalik, is making a huge comeback in 2018. Actually, Ethereum is receiving tremendous support from the community and investors.

How high do you think ETH price will be during 2018?

The ethereum is certainly the most powerful coin, but it does not always grow, sometimes it has big falls, of course they are not for long, but still, the moment will come when the etherium will fall and will not grow any more !? (

I like the growth of ethereum. But I'm afraid that if it repeats the speed of bitcoin, then it will do him harm. Gradual growth is very good. Perhaps this year ethereum will cost about $ 3000 - $ 4000.  :)

I would like that you are right!! jeje

Many of analitics predict the drowth of Ethereum i the future. Some says it will be cost $5000, others say about tenfold growth. I try to be careful with prediction of price of crypto currincies in the future. I think 2-2.5K will be its maximal price this year
