Bitcoin Forum

Ethereum is number 2 based on CMC and also one of the most used utility token in cryptospace, yet it is unable to rise above $230 USD. It would seem that it is waiting for Bitcoin's bull run. Can't it make its own bull run?

Price now favorable low, but should I still buy?

What if the price doesn't go up?

Since Constantinople fork failed and should be expected in 2019, is that hope?

This topic belongs to the Altcoin sub-forum.
I believe that ethreum will grow only if bitcoin grows,even though the two cryptocurrencies aren't connected.
ICOs are dead and ,as far as I remember,ETH doesn't have a limited supply,like bitcoin,which means that ETH will never reach stable price above 1000 USD.

is there a possibility that these two coins are connected? if bitcoin is high, eth is also high, because seeing what is happening now, bitcoin has a more stable price, while eth, has decreased quite dramatically

One thing that I have been asking myself for a long time.
Are this tokens and also Ethereum dependent to the Bitcoin price?
But if that is the case, we might see investors walking away selling ETH already.
The market is really unpredictable. I guess we will just have to go with it.

Every cryptocurrency depends on bitcoin success.

However, Eth´s price is falling more than BTC.

I believe Eth has some issues, which need to be solved:

1 - Desktop wallet. All bad and too complicated to use. No, MEW is not a desktop wallet.

2 - Proof of Stake. Is it going to be released? It was postponed, when will it be  released? Which direction is Eth going?

3 - Vitalik Centralization. Is it Vitalik's blockchain? It looks like he decide everything?

4 - Plasma (Ethereum Lightning Network). Is it going to be released? LN is already going on in the mainnet,but Plasma is still in early stages.

I've just heard a rumor that whales are controlling the price of ETH so they can buy it low also it said that it will last until the first quarter of 2019.

It's hard for anyone to tell exactly what's going on with ETH, but I still expect the coin to grow again at over $ 700. Only wish for low prices, not dare to wish at high prices, so it will be difficult to achieve.

It's quite unfortunate that Ethereum could not kick start a high movement, however I believe during this last quarter of the year,2018, the price of Ethereum might move than $300.

Don't worry mate, every crypto currency will rise by time. All we need to do is to wait.

It can't consider about it has a very strong correlation with bitcoin, as far as I know this time ethereum price movement was pegged to the bitcoin and if there was no any pump on bitcoin and that will not give any direct impact to the ether.
But we must build another momentum for ethereum, I thought that ethereum ETF has made it even worst than before.

not only ethereum, there are many other coins that cannot rise from the fall of this market. indeed bull run is expected by everyone, but we don't know when it can happen and it's better to keep multiplying or folding assets to welcome the bull run that will happen later.

Mostly likely it is due to the bearish sentiment in the market, as long as it stays bulls will not be able to dominate, once overall sentiment bevomes positive only then we can expect good price gains and bulls in control.

Ethereum is good projects and has one of the best developer teams but price is something different, so invest in ethereum while you can, it will rise surely also it is less risky to nvest in it now.

I've been out of market for some time but I've always kept an eye on coimarketcap to understand the market and create strategy to get back. But right now I have a lot of doubts about Ethereum and trying to understand what is happening with this coin. Yet all I know is that Ethereum is at a speculative moment where many FUD revolve around it.

From the analysis of the market, it seems that the price of the Etherium is some how connected to Bitcoin. If that is the case and a people start to realise it, then possibilities are that a lot of investors will turn away from this Altcoin. However, the price is mostlikely to go up again. So, think about your choices and then decide if you would like to take some risk and buy it now.

You can do it, maybe buy more. All coins are in the same condition, experiencing a downward trend. We cant judge ethereum and leave it. Ethereum is the best altcoin after bitcoin. We see what surprises will occur 2019

ETH has been hit harder than other coins recently, and looks good value for buying more. It is still a hugely important project and I expect it to rise considerably once the next bull run starts.

it is just money exiting while keeping the situation hidden without letting the bag holders panic and dump it down drastically.
of course the dump from $1500 to this level which is 85% dump has been big enough to clear the market from most bag holders but there is still a lot more remaining and with the ICO age coming to an end with all the scams and bans the usage of ethereum dies too.

There seems to be a connection between Bitcoin and ETH. It is possible we can see a high ETH price after Bitcoin's bull run. I would like to see the price around $450-$500 in the new year.

You are right but I think the situation is more complex actually.
As you know there are 3 trade pair
1 ETH-BTC price
2 ETH-USD price
3 BTC-USD price
there is an organic relation between pair 1 and pair 2. but the most important factor which influences big ETH movement is the trust to the BTC. If the BTC market conditions are well ETH will rice and if the BTC market conditions are not good ETH price will diminish. Of course ETH also have own fundamental and technical dynamics

I believe that Ethereum will grow only if Bitcoin grows, even though the two cryptocurrencies aren't connected. The market is so unpredictable. Only wish for low prices, not dare to wish at high prices,so it'll be difficult to achieve.

I do not understand why people always want a currency without a supply limit like ETH must be high value? And they always ask - when will ETH prices rise?
Remember that you can trade BTC, ETH and any altcoin to make a profit, regardless of the value. Whale is no different. Buying - holding - and waiting for the price to rise to the moon for sale is the most innocent thought that I see.

There are too many ICO projects on the market today, but they use ETH as a common currency to trade in tokens, which in turn causes the price of ETH to decrease and ETH is at risk of being attacked because of Too many people pay attention to them. It is my opinion that everyone will comment

The 85% drop in the price of Ethereum from it's ATH was never to be expected. But looking at it, ETH is a coin with an unlimited supply, it's difficult for the price to rise easily without a bull run from BTC. One would have expected that considering the fact that a lot of projects get launched on the Ethereum platform, the price of the coin should ordinarily appreciate in value, but this is not happening. Let's be patient and hope a bull run happens soon.

It can be misleading to say it has an unlimited supply. There are proposals to cap the max supply, and Casper I think is supposed to reduce inflation to almost zero.

Yes, investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency market are huge so do not necessarily care about ETH and BTC. If you choose the right time, the altcoin of small value will bring great value. Consider when making investment decisions, which is very important in the time of market volatility as today.

I can't predict the price of ethereum right now and many investors can't explain what is totally happen for it.
So think of it. If safe for buying for it or ignore it if the price will continue go dump and buy a very cheap price.

I agree with you, the topic of bitcoin is still relevant and only one hashtag can already collect views and HYIP, and here as much as the liver with predictions whole, people like to listen only to what they want to hear.

As bitcoin increases, everything will increase and ETH will also. It too depends on the price of the BTC and there are too many ICOs dumping the ETH. In the future the price of ETH will increase but we can not know exactly when, and if the ICO die then ETH will probably not go up again.

On charts I see flat with good volumes. IMHO someone is collecting eth before the pump. Hope we can see "own life" for the price of eth in the nearest future. But all this depends on upgrades in their chain. If they will again postpone them, this can be not very good for ETH price.

Yeah I also asked why this happened,whether there were many fraudulent tokens and stuck between them.Conclusion myself doubt whether the ETH value will rise or not but surely all expect an increase in demand and some tokens are able to raise the ETH value in their market.

Allowing yourself to reassess before investing, it's hard to say who's speculations will be correct either way can possibly happen, with how the market are behaving we do need to have a lots of information before we invest or support the project, ETH have a good potentials but we are not sure if how long this downtrend will ends up and when the bull to overtake the bearish market, always do deep research and analyze the project carefully.

in my opinion yes because indeed ethereum will not end and soon it will stabilize again back to the top,  so must buy more now while there's an opportunity to buy cheap andcto become profitable in the future .  But always stay away to those who always saying it will end because mostly nowadays are Fud's just to intimidate holders and buyers.

I think this is normal in crypto as those investors can sell their coins anytime they wanted to and being a top currency this can bounce back as this has huge liquidity and with many supporters.

It is true that ethereum is one that many investors rely on for investment, so with that to increase the price faster, because with the help of more and more supporters every year

I see for myself not only ETH waiting for the pump from the BTC but all coin crypto, so it's only natural that when the BTC pump, the ETH will pump

You should have great faith in ETH to be able to invest in the long run. I know a lot of people blindly invest in ETH, they can not hold it as a goal and sell it cheaply. But not long after the price of ETH has increased. So bloody pegs are your trust for ETH. The bigger your investment, the better your chances of success.

Nothing extraordinary... Ethereum like all other altcoins falling, but the lowest point reached and soon wee will all see the backward line...

Of course Ethereum is linked to bitcoin and it'll vary according to its value, but the inventor of Ethereum predicted its fall, so better be cautious. Also, as it's volatile, you never know.

Well it takes time to increase value. Remember the spike in late 2017 and early 2018? Price fall down very quick again. So right now we have a low price, it's true, but I don't expect and want too quick bullruns. It's not good for ETH because transaction cost will also rise.

Personally ETH is still very cheap for me.

ethereum meang's price follows the flow of bitcoin prices. including now where the market of bitcoin which is experiencing a decline will certainly provide many benefits for people who have not started investing

In my opinion the ETH go down and it can be said to be the most expensive compared to the Altcoins in the coinmarketcap. It is possible because the ETH discharge whale in large quantities or ETH is held by a large group of people and makes the price to ETH is low and then buy it. Beside that i think Bitcoin is not stable and falling ETH being dragged will have many reasons that in my opinion will reply.

Ethereum is now very low in price before this coin should soon soar very well.
Between it and Bitcoin, of course, there is a relationship in price, since Bitcoin, as the leader of cryptocurrency, exercises price domination over other types of cryptocurrency, including ethereum. He can do this because he has a high level of capitalization. Therefore, ethereum is not free to behave in terms of price.

I think that this is empty talk, which is spread throughout the bitcointalk forum, because if you have any concrete facts that can help trace the development of cryptocurrency in the future, drawing an analogy with past years, then I ask you to put them.

If we look at the problem from such an angle, I can assure you that almost half of all the information that exists here is a figment of users who simply write their messages and express their opinions.

Few days ago the price was 223 US dollar the price dropped and now after downfalls the current price is 206 dollar which is a loss made by investors.

But those investors who want to sell right now and are in loss have still the opportunity to hold and make it a long term for it is only possible if investors wait for some more time as there are equal possibilities for the coin either go high or downward so there can be a high price in the upcoming days and the best strategy is to hold for some more time in order to stay away from loss.

That is true. The lowest point is around the $160-$180 range. That is rock solid bottom.

Etherum is one of the most potential markets in the digital currency world. with a very high level of popularity, etherum has a very good level of trust in filtering its users. etherum prices are indeed currently not on a good track. we have seen unstable price movements and even prices continue to decline. but we must be optimistic and we must also help the development of etherum, use etherum more and more and that will increase public confidence and can increase etherum prices much more stable.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the current price drop of ETH. It is often the case that those that fall hardest during a bear market climb back the strongest when the bull returns.
It's a great buying opportunity now.

The thing is that right now the market situation is letting us all down. There is really little buying pressure created by real people and main 24h volume comes from bots. Ethereum main points are ICOs and DAPPs, both of which aren't really popular right now. Taking that into notice, it's rather understandable why the price stays stagnant or isn't growing at all.

Nothing is happening, that's the reason. Missing excitement.

Well, this is quite difficult to have an exact answer because nobody knows what makes this altcoin get stuck with its current value. As what we know, every time the value of BTC goes up and so with this Eth. The good things is it continue to be more useful and if you really want to make some profit/s better to discover more altcoins and don't only focused on one thing.

Choosing an investment place is not an easy thing, one must know the ins and outs of the place. I am sure if they know ethereum more deeply and ethereum's function then the current price situation is the right time to buy with the money they have. One must try to choose for long term investment and ignore the price conditions that always go down at any time. This year is a correction for the cryptocurrency market, the reason is clear enough that every regulation that rejects cryptocurrency at this year is only to make cryptocurrency repaired so that it can be accepted by the public.

Patience is the key to getting profit on cryptocurrency so we just need to be patient waiting for the return of ethereum to a good path, I'm sure ethereum will survive and even rise to the moon again.

Factors have not fully determined yet but the good for this drought is that I had an opportunity to buy when it drops to it's lowest, for now, I'm waiting until it will bounce back and definitely it is possible to happen, there's nothing to worry just keep on holding.

What happens to ETH? It falls and can not consolidate its position in the market. I hope that in the near future it will begin to grow.

Despite some negative results in testing the update, the team is still confident in the prospects and showed a lot of positive moments in the new technology for scaling the block chain. Nevertheless, the negative aspects in the update were most likely due to unprepared miners who had changed the software.

Well that's just a rumor too early to conclude that it will not go to bullish this year we can't tell the exact outcome for now as it is so unpredictable and the price doesn't seem to improve further the line, legitimate projects have the struggle to raise some funds to their token sale well it is not the ETH price alone that is affected to it, scammers made the things worst for this platform losing some precious investors that make them want to sell to ETH.

i don't know but the latest news vitalik buterin said he will out of ethereum like dev doge so i think eth is not best option to invest now

I understand your emotion, but with the same confidence you can read the information on the network, where Vitalik Buterin immediately declared that he would not leave ethereum and he had no such intention. Based on this, I generally will not trust any information from other or third sources.

The market is running and the value of each coin is up and down which is not too worrying, but for this second coin almost has stability. The community tries to maintain this value and hopes that there will be hardfork.

It's a matter of your instinct to choose what's best for you and do check the news to know if you want to continue investing to Ethereum or not. No one could best decide it for you, cause only yourself who can make the final decision no matter how many times you ask to people or no matter how many answers you will get but still you are the one that can decide it for yourself.

every month the ether miners will definitely sell to finance expenses, and the ICO is now in a difficult time, indeed if there is no bullrun on bitcoin its very difficult for ether to rise again

since vitalik say there is no room for crypto to gain 1000x or more, ethereum price is down and down again, i think he (vitalik) no have passion again in ethereum.

Everyone is buying ETH and the sale of panic at this time is definitely a stupid thing because ETH prices are very cheap and this is a great opportunity for everyone. I personally would invest ETH at $ 180 price because this is very good price and can recover well if the market enters the uptrend period.

If vitalik is ethereum then we have a serious problem on our hands. We might just be investing in a human after all and not in the solidity codes.

Don't worry brother everything will be okay very soon. CBOE future will list them and if this will happen hype will explode in most of the social media- So buyers/traders will get FOMO! assuming that price of ETHEREUM reach $500- and the ath is around 1,000 this is really a good buy.

Its market value is indeed struggling at the 200usd mark but keep in mind that most of the cryptos do at this moment due to the negative behavior in the market. It should be an enough reason to hold and not to let go because selling would morelikely to result on huge profit loss due to the huge difference on its market price last year than its value at this moment.

Of course, you need to use the chance to buy cheap ethereum, but nevertheless you want to wait and see the results of the Cosmopolitan update.

With that maximum that they achieved in almost year ago with over 1.200$ and it will go by the end half of Bitcoin price.

Yeah actually surprised from people the fastest dropped of ethereum price at cmc
I think we need to wait tye bitcoin bull run before to expect for the eth increase
In my own opinion eeven if eth use for all type of oroject they always dependns their price in their king btc

Not necessarily ETH have to wait for the BTC bull run. ETH is waiting for big events - like the largest hard fork ever. It is true that the price of ETH has dropped much more (in%) than BTC but thanks to that it has more potential for growth. If BTC does not start growing soon, it will not be a surprise for me if the bull run first will starts ETH, and BTC will join later.

You should not be too surprised about ETH's rates because, despite the falling exchange rate, it is still in the top 2. So if you intend to invest in long-term, then I recommend investing in ETH and hold until the end of the year. 2018 or until 2019 to wait for exchange rate increase.

It is being highly affected by the negative market situation and not only ethereum but the majority of the cryptos at this moment. ICO projects and market value of cryptos are on downtrend right now which is resulting to profit loss for many people. That is why holding is the best thing to do for now in order to benefit once recovery take place afterwards. Dumps in the first place is not permanent so we don't need to be scared that much.

Those relations were established a long time ago. However, the way Eth dropped to the current lows weren't necessarily connected with bitcoin. And for a brief moment it seemed Eth and BTC prices movements were outta sync. Seeing Eth >$500 is become a sacred journey.

ETH is recovering and this will continue, don't worry about eth prices because the development team will provide strategies that can make eth more valuable.

Again with this fairy tale that BTC holds the fate of all cryptocurrencies in its digital hands. Who comes up with this tripe?

Rubbish. Our token is completely independent of BTC and all of it's gyrations. Stablecoins (or tokens) are reliant on the asset that backs its currency.

BTC has nothing to do with it.

Bitcoin can remain influencing the only thing it's good at - speculation.

Ethereum prices are now down very unexpectedly, but this is a reality, but I have a prediction that Ethereum's price will rise again, but when exactly, of course it will not be known, if you want to buy it at this time, do it and do not need to doubt that Ethereum's price will not rise again for, for example you have doubts, you don't need to buy it.

From what I have noticed, ETH will be the until they don't anything on ICO scams. Ethereum's demand got lower when there are less people investing on ICO's using ERC-20 platforms. I believe those scams has something to do with ETH's current situation. Also, there are a lot of investors who were selling their coin in huge amounts and its resulting to price decrease. Whatever it is, I would recommend buying ETH now since a lot of people are expecting a recovery before the end of the year.

Not only Ethereum but Bitcoin and most top coins have flatlined for last few weeks. It is a good time to accumulate and wait out for the breakout.

Look like almost all of the crypto currency prices have experienced a continuous decline at this year, this is not only at the ETH price. I think that the price of crypto currency is much lower than ETH if we compare it to the price of crypto currency last year. So that when the crypto currency market recovers and is trusted again by various parties, I believe that the ETH price will rise again. And in the second position in the crypto currency market we can still be sure that the ETH still has the second number of investors in the crypto currency market.

Actually, there are many reasons why the price of Ethereum is between 200-230usd most of the time now:

Big price drops were caused by ICOs selling off their ETH stacks which kinda caused a chain reaction,

People who bought high wait any possibility now to sell high as possible,

The overall market condition is rather bad.

Selling pressure is really high, buying pressure is low.

I wouldn't worry about ETH, it is still a very strong long term bet. Prices have been low recently, but it is often the strong coins that bounce back the highest when the next bull run starts. I would say that now is the time to either hold if you bought in at a lower price, or if you bought in higher than current price then buy some more to DCA your average purchase price down.

I'm not really surprised when ETH drops a lot and falls freely. When Bitcoin is not good and go down, other Altcoins will also be affected and influenced and ETH is too.

There are some investors who do that too, considering the Ethereum price and the price of Bitcoin so they refrain from investing in Ethereum before the Bitcoin does a bull run because of a fear of losing.

Indeed, the current price of Ethereum is quite low, but to decide this is the right time or not it will return to the results of your own research on Ethereum.

Prices do not rise because there is no interest in cryptocurrencies.Investors are still there because many of the projects and now collect a hard cap.As soon as people see the opportunities and prospects of cryptocurrencies, then capitalization will increase and prices will rise.I think that interest in ethereum will appear when the Casper Protocol is implemented in 2019.And investors will appear and many will keep this coin in their wallet as long as possible.

ETH seems to be the one with the most stable functionalities as far as cryptocurrency goes, but we must also take into consideration ETH's supply is not as limited as BTC and other crypto. So maybe, at somepoint BTC may rise above unimaginable levels and ETH stay at much lower price, or even advances at a much lesser pace.

I am sure that ethereum will always develop, and it will be more valuable to keep.
in my opinion ethereum is very important in the development of crypto at this time, so ethereum will always be kept by investors

I think you should buy ETH and hold. If you have enough faith and respect for it. Do not worry too much about the failure of investing, that just blocks your success. Please analyze and make your highest decision so that you do not have to regret it. I believe that in 2019, the Crypto market will fly back.

Perhaps ETH waits until bitcoin starts to lose its positions on the market of cryptocurrencies. But I'm sure that ETH is just strengthening in price, and in 2019 will make a breakthrough to the top. Vitalik definitely has a plan.

Looks like we are going to see new levels on the bottom( No volume at all on the market, where all trades? Hope Eth update will faster.

In the past year, Bitcoin and Ether tend to go up and down in the same way, while Ripple, EOS, and other tokens experience similar movements. However, since the beginning of August 2018 every cryptocurrency including ethereum besides Bitcoin experienced an intensive movement on the downside, because the downward trend is too strong in the market.

we can conclude for ethereum prices and all altcoins drop due to poor market conditions , when the opposite situation I am sure ethereum and other altcoins will be up

I do not think that Ethereum can scam. Too much is tied to it. The current price is certainly sad, but nothing to do. I also think that Constantinople will be able to influence Ethereum, but it is unlikely that its price will reach 2000$.

there are indeed some investors who think like that.
but not a few also still trust eth.
what is certain is that eth will survive and will even reach the top again

I think this is worth paying. last year, the prices of bitcoin and ETH really increased rapidly, and we didn't expect that the price would be that high. well, but this year, prices are back down, and I think that's natural. well, but after this, maybe there will be a faster increase. I hope like that at ETH.

The market is dropping and of course it is reasonable to have an effect on ethereum and all crypto prices, but I am sure that ethereum is a coin that has strong fundamentals because it is supported by many tokens that will help make ethereum great again.

Of course it is misleading to say that the supply of ETH is low. Economic intuition says that if the supply is low, the price will be high however we do not have a high price for ETH in the market right now. This rather has many other reasons why the price is low. The recession of course is the reason why we have down values in the market. There are many reasons for recession. Government intervention and the participation of Whales are main out of other reasons why the market is in recession.

Ethereum is just having rough days just like bitcoin does and as the bearish market continues to stay in the cryptoworld, almost everybody hurts, not only Ethereum. Time will come that this bearish market will ends as the bullish market is about to start anytime this quarter.

the condition of ethereum prices is currently not good because the falling price of bitcoin makes the condition of all cryptocurrency decreases in price including the ethereum price which falls this deep. when you have capital, you can take advantage of moments like this to buy at cheap prices.

All altcoins are at very cheap prices and ETH is among them. I think this market is still downward trend and can not recover, it may take at least 10 years to see the new price increase and I believe investing in ETH is a top choice because of its potential very big

in general. Ethereum is same like other coin. the market crash is affecting each and every coin. no coin escape.

Now there is a decline of investors in forks, every day there is a lot of coins, mostly endless clones and copies, against their background, the few interesting coins, but only a little.

The penny is hard, not the island fire, there are now too many ICO projects they have sold ETH at low prices and so over time they have pulled down the ETH price. So I think the market will soon recover, and will probably fall by the end of this year. However, we need to wait patiently for recovery soon.

Indeed ico projeck is now only a fraud and all just copies from the previous projeck program. in my opinion this is indeed one of the reasons why many investors are not interested in investing. and about eth declining is the sentiment of bitcoin

In my opinion what happened to ethereum is a normal thing, this is because the market impact is being dropped so that when the market drop it will automatically make ethereum prices also drop.

I think that ETH is a big buy opportunity atm, holding for the future. If tokens start a new moon season, destroying the FUD and starting delivery these futuristic products, ETH will going for trilions marketcap like BTC will do.

Last time I saw the bitcoin price at 6000$ ETH was still at 400$, but then ETH fell without stops and went below 170$. Obviously BTC does not affect the price of ETH too much. The main reason is that the ICO has ruined ETH and all ICOs have panic all the ETH they are holding

Buy and hodl

Ethereum still trying to survive at this moment although the price does not increase or decrease too much. I think ethereum get stable for now and it will increase soon after bitcoin reach the higher price. But I realize that the ethereum price is getting down from time to time, but I am sure that ethereum can increase because ethereum is one of the strong coins in the market.

Now I am focusing on to buy altcoin, not holding ETH for long time, because I'm afraid ETH will collapse to $ 50. Holding altcoin I find them also quite safe, if the right coin I can get rich quickly. So I still expect and hope that luck will come to me.

Ethereum is currently low and I think this is not really bad because a lot of people can invest now since it went cheaper. Don't think negative and just continue focusing in the future of the coins. Everything is not going to be permanently red.

In my opinion, ethereum is still affected by the market so it is not yet recovering, the market is not yet recovering means it will increased big when the green days of the market starts. Today, most crypto in the market are very cheap so we should understand the situation of the popular cryptos.

Ethererum drop is a perfectly normal thing in the market at the present time. Once the ETH is down, it will rebind, and the closest it will be to the end of the year, when demand is high, and the market's rate is expected to rebound.

Ethereum is ICO and investors in ICO project favourite!  Ether is constantly been used and the activities on ethereum is not slowing down!  I will predict that ethereum will increase in price and may be traded at $2000 before 2020!

When Bitcoin starts to grow, Ethereum will follow it. Probably, the speed of this altcoin growth will be higher. I am sure that ETH is supposed to become the best gainer in future.

In general, I already give that ethereum will bypass Bitcoin in the near future. There are some prerequisites for the prospects of ethereum and its leadership ambitions.

relative prices I very much doubt that the ethereum will be able to beat the Bitcoin record, but as far as capitalization is concerned, everything is possible in this case.

It's not only Ethereum though who suffered during the bearish season, if you are confident the future of Ethereum or crypto then it will rise in future. If we are in negative thinking we won't achieve anything. Believe that crypto has a future, so we will have Bull run soon.

Maybe next year it will become stable the price of the altcoins and bitcoin. You can still buy more ethereum because even the price decreasing it is worth it to invest again your money to ethereum so you can make more money on that. New year is new price for the ethereum and probably high for sure.

next year there is a lot of hope. But for some reason no one talks about what will affect the cryptocurrency market in 2019 and how the price of ethereum and Bitcoin will rise.

Somehow I'm forced to believe this is the real price of ethereum. I mean, it's been like this for a few months now. Even if a rally should occur, it may not move up much. But we could wait and see.

who can tell me about this, op wrote this in first message "Since Constantinople fork failed and should be expected in 2019, is that hope?'
what Constantinople fork is? some fork of eth and why its failed? thanks

It's okay do not worry until now ethereum is usefull for icos project, wait for the next year lets calm and just relax if bitcoin goes uprise i expect ethereum will follow to rise their price.

Given the market situation at the present time, not only ETH decrease in exchange rate but BTC as other altcoins also suffer the same condition. The stock market continued to decline along with the economic crisis, it can only hope 2019 cryptocurrency market will recover.

Well, I also hope like that. maybe because so many coins have a platform from the ETH, that's why it looks like a lot of coins that go down when the ETH price goes down. for now we can do nothing but wait for the market to recover, especially the ETH.

I agree that altcoins depend the growth of bitcoin. Still, I believe that eth will rise sooner or later. Most ICOs use eth as their platform so there’s no doubt that eth will eventually boom. Let’s just wait for the market to recover now and wait for eth to let us earn good profit.

No one will lose out by buying the ethereum now. the price is very cheap now, I think it all just wait for the time only, until the ethereum market will explode. When it happens, I agree with you that everyone who has the ethereum will get a bigger profit.

People should this because most of the coins prices are based on the bitcoin price which we don't when bitcoin price will start recovering. Everything we do have until the price of bitcoin starts increasing in the market.

I knew I shouldn't have bought Eth at $230 it's been well over 5 months and prices have rather declined. Do the Ethereum people have any more tricks up their sleeves to help the price of Ether? Now that Vitalik acknowledges (https://bitcoinnews.com/vitalik-buterin-concedes-ethereums-price-does-matter/) the importance of price for the growth of the ecosystem.

Ethereum as a second leading coin has constantly remain of being the queen coin in cryptos and as what I have observed the ethereum is also dependent in bitcoin's movement but I hope in the future there are many people buy ethereum making its value to climb up and its bullrun will begun.

That is the only option we have right now because the market situation cannot be accurate every time with the fluctuation we might see a huge downfall. So wait for the market recovery until the price of Bitcoin is kept increasing which it will automatically drive the price of ETH easily.

Bitcoin actually has great influence on ethereum and that is why when bitcoin is growing ethereum do always follow suit. At op should know that this market behave in cycle and the decision we make is what determine what actually happened to our investment. As at the time op open this thread in October if he wait a little and buy ethereum when it falls to $78 and sold last two week when it went as high as $390 he could have made good profits.

As mentioned ethereum is the leading altcoin that follows the growth taking place with bitcoin. At times there will be some variation in the market which gets corrected in a short and the growth once again gets going following the bitcoin price. Even with the recent price pumping ethereum stood far away in growth and now there is some form of equal level of growth.

Possibly with the growth after the price correction can expect the bitcoin price to cross $15000, following the same can expect good growth taking the ethereum value to reach at least $500+
