Bitcoin Forum

Intro:

Back in 2017 it looked as if Ethereum was on its rise to becoming a dominant crypto in this sector, then the crash happened...After the big crash the entire crypto market took a hit, but Ethereum seemed to take the biggest hit out of any top 10 coin in the market. Ethereum was eventually "gapped" by XRP. Recently Ethereum has been fighting back to reach 2nd place in the cryptoverse, but here's why I think this will prove to be ineffective.

Ethereum:

The biggest problem with Ethereum is ICO's. ICO's are becoming a thing of the past and STO's are starting to takeover. This could save Ethereum from plummeting further, but the issues is with the fact STO's won't be as big of a craze as ICO's were. STO's require REAL results, while ICO's were just ideas and white papers. STO's require REAL investors with a BIG net worth, while (most) ICO's allowed anyone to invest. The main issue is that not many people will be able to buy into these STO's. There also won't be as many of them as ICO's. I think STO's could actually be successful and potentially great for this community, but their impact on the ETH price won't be near as great as ICO's were.

Where We Are Today:

There are still tons of quality projects out there that have the potential for big rises. Bitcoin is the leader in this market and one can assume will always have some type of value regardless of fundamental uses. Nauticus has been generating a lot of buzz recently with their launch and there's potential for their NTS token to do well within this community. Certain STO's are making great strides in the market and appear to be legitimate projects that should further legitimize this community. WEAK PLAYERS are bailing on crypto & this is GREAT. We want all of the scammers OUT of this community, so that quality projects can soak up the money that is left behind.

Do your own research...be smart with your money  ;D

Although i myself back security tokens and prefer them over the utility ones but i do not think this has anything to do with the price of ethereum, i mean eth is a blockchain technology project with smart contracts that can automate most things plus whole lot of other features so icos or stos it simply does not matter for eth network as a company. If you are serious investor then you should know that eth is poised to grow more and more over time.

I decided not to buy etherium because the developers have failed to checkmate, evaluate and verify the authenticity and veracity of the project managers using its blockchain to run various ICO.This has resulted in high instability on the future and price of etherium.In order words,there is also tendency that some genuine project managers using etherium blockchain might build their own blockchain, and once this happen ,the liquidity of etherium will be distorted.
However, I observed that etherium developers have not shown the total supply of etherium, and this is one the reasons I decided not to buy etherium because not showing the total supply of etherium means more coins could be created,and this is not a welcome development for long term investors.

I saw bunch of post shilling about nauticus exchange and naiticus is very fresh project which need to prove itself in the market. By taking support of ethereum and creating post about ethereum will not gonna work. If you really want to make nauticus successful then try other methods to bring user on nauticus exchange.
About ethereum future with the STOs, STOs will be fully tokenized and obviously there will be demand for the most trusted and adopted blockchain infrastructure like platform like ethereum.

I agree. I think ETH will do good. I think ETH might do better than Bitcoin, but idk how long that will take. I like utility tokens like BNB (Binance), NTS (Nauticus) and then I also like ETH and BTC. If this was about Litecoin, then maybe haha, but not ETH. Eth is poised to do well. It just might fall a lot further before it recovers all the way.

Yes, I gree with you. STO's are might be the exit for Ethereum from this long falling. New projects are legit and the percent of scam projects will be reduced. Also it's more difficult to launch STO rather than ICO. I'm still believe in Ethereum.

Ethereum has been overtaken by EOS and Cardano in terms of technology so it is likely that they will overtake in the market cap as well in due course. Ethereum is still the ICO king, but not at the current rate of development

Now eth hard fork was postponed and ethereum is dropping!
Hopefully I've predicted down trend because 5 hours ago mem pool unconfirmed transactions showed growth and for me it is indicator to open short position.

I don't want to buy ethereum for now, for various reasons I have. Especially the price that often decreases makes me a little bored. But I will maintain it until the end of this year. I realize that everyone has different opinions in addressing the development of the project. Well, indeed ethereum will still be a safe coin, at least for the foreseeable future.

Everything in this world is changing and Ethereum also does not stand still. Tomorrow we will see the long-awaited improvements to this coin, in October the following improvements should be implemented in it. ICO activities also need substantial reorganization and government regulation. It seems to me that ICO projects will exist for a long time, but in an improved form. STO will not be able to supplant ICO, these are slightly different ways of raising funds and they must exist in parallel with each other.

Everyone has the right to choose what he or she believes in and what works for him.
Despite all that is happening in the space, I am of the opinion that ethereum has been of great benefit not only to ICO, buts also to the crypto space in entirety.
It is still the best altcoin, owing from previous and present performances.

Interesting point, but in any case the situation now is too confused to make any decent prediction.

And I, on the contrary, buy Ethereum, and I believe in its further growth. The new update will fix the previous errors

I agree with you on that. Ethereum is gradually becoming a shadow of its forner self with each passing day. ICOs were the major uses of Ethereum but with the way interests in ICOs sre diminishing with each passing day, Ethereum may lose a great deal of its relevance in the space. The team needs to start updating and adding more features to the blockchain. Imagine having a bottleneck situation when people play a cat game

Ah now perhaps better keep away from Ethereum, little good news , I think by the end of this year he can show growth , but will need look on market

The update was just delayed, but it should help. Right now I'm leaning more towards Bitcoin, Nauticus, and as much as ppl hate it a little XRP (yes I know all about XRP and the difference between Ripple lol).

I still think Ethereum is under appreciated. For me, it is still going to rally round and do a major sprint. The use case is enormous coupled with the fact that it has massive trade volumes and easily utilized when compared to the other cryptocurrencies. Investing in Ethereum while it is this low is one of the most important things any crypto enthusiast should be looking at doing.

I still believe that Ethereum can show its great market rate again. The ocndition of the ETH price is now very annoying. But, this is the time for me to buy more coin. Because I think that ETH can have better price again. This is not about the value today, but the worth of the future with this altcoin.

I believe ethereum is still one of the best projects to buy right now, irrespective of how much it has dropped, it is still a long way ahead of blockchain like NEO,EOS, Stratis, TRX etc.
Ethereum dumped hard but if the make trends over the past year is something to go by, it will also respond similarly Tia positive prove change evident in its alternative positions with ripple XRP

Eth is best alternative compared to eos and neo. Chinese guys want to take leadership but money doesn't talk here(sometimes it does). Competitive market rates don't let quantity go over than quality.

I think that Ethereum is more promising for purchases than Bitcoin. Ethereum has a great prospect for growth and a very promising technology. I believe in this cryptocurrency.

That's so sad anyone who have invested in nautius has already lost more than 50% from the ico price in the bitcoin terms. This is pure a garbage thread to shilling for nauticus. are these STOs registered in SEC? not even one of them. ethereum is utility and you should know the differences. jajajajaja

That's just people dumping their "free" bounty tokens. "This is pure a garbage thread"...nice grammar. "Ethereum is utility and you should know the differences" that was literally my entire point. Ethereum is a utility token that will be worthless without either STO's or ICO's. ICO's are dead, so if STO's don't emerge as the "next big thing", then what use does Ethereum have? Also, NTS is a utility token. I would much rather buy BNB or NTS over ETH. Both BNB and NTS are both utility tokens that have uses tied to their exchanges. Ethereum could function at $1 the same way it functions at $118, therefore I see ETH going MUCH lower. The utility functionality of Ethereum is on its deathbed. They couldn't even get the fork right, they just delayed it today  :o

I will not give up on Ethereum yet. As you just said, STO's requires real investors with huge amount of money, I think their main problem will be the number of real investors that they would have. On the contrary, ICO's can be bought by anyone and I think its a much better risk than STO's with only few investors on it. The only problem with ICO's are the scams, if crypto can take care of it, Ethereum has a long way to go.

This =  ;D
That's my stance on the situation. I think ETH might fall further. It just depends on what BTC does, the fork, and then the future for STO's.

Most times, predictions do fail in cryptocurrency. I never knew the price of Ethereum per one could be this low even though it is a very good and established project. I take Ethereum over EOS. Ethereum will do so well again I know, it may only takes time.

I think a lot of people are already comfortable on ethereum because they feel that it is a big altcoin can give you more results. because of that, then many have forgotten that there are still many other coins that can promise more and better. ethereum indeed has decreased and many are supposed to be aware of it. with the ripple just a few times had to struggle to return to its original position.

I think both ETH and NTS will do well; somewhere I heard a rumor that both are going to be messing around with STO's. might've just been nonsense spreading though who knows.

ETH has such an active github I dont think it'll ever die BUT there may be plenty of reasons not to buy it to make a financial gain which OP stated.

It is obvious and I mostly use my money to buy Ethereum, the current price of ETH is very cheap but it does not say anything, because it is very potential that in the future will be increase at high prices  8)

It's a truth that sto will take the place over ico. No more ico will be funded hugely by the investors because most of the times investors get scammed. There is less relation with the price of eth with ico or sto. Ethereum is still a utility token. There are bunches of usage of this coin.

Everyone has their reason for buying or selling any crypto currency token, but always ensure that your reason is for profit, or more profit, because thats what makes your portfolio strong.

Ethereum is a unique cryptocurrency, the decline of any coin can occur for many reasons, the main thing is not invest all your money in one Ethereum. Ethereum even without ICO, will normally exist

I still believe that money will be good in buying Ethereum and we can gain much profit with this low  now.
SOon the Ethereum 2.0 will be done clean and the price will rise again.
I am expecting new ATH this year. and as of ETHEREUM this is still the KING of ICO token.

i think ethereum is over.  price  is Satoshi lost much of its value. This erc20-based generated token in the deception, ethereuma damages..
And you are right. is definitely the leader of bitcoin.  thanks a nice post.

I now try, whenever possible, to buy more ethereum and believe in the future prospects of this coin. Problems with ICO will be resolved, and ethereum will soon change thanks to its improvements. Therefore, I do not think that ethereum has exhausted its possibilities. This coin will still be in demand, for thousands of tokens have been created on its platform, which will continue to evolve and benefit people.

Most of us wants ethereum and most of us have already have that coin and we believe that this coin that become the next bitcoin. But it's actually you and no one can force to you to buy ethereum and Im sure in the future you will say to your mind I hope in the first place I invested my money to ethereum and for sure Im rich now that's only I think.

I would say that cardano is just an over hyped project ...everywhere I go I hear about cardano but when I ask people what is Cardano they reply with " I don't know , just saw a bunch of videos on youtube and reddit is on fire also with cardano so I bought too" ..this are the guys who are promoting cardano right now...I don't say that they don't have good tech team but people are buying it in a full blindness...

You say that ethereum is better than bitcoin, how do you think it is real?
everyone knows, that bitcoin is the best crypto currency. even when compared to ethereum.

I agree , there was not yet one currency that could overtake bitcoin , Ethereum is certainly a good coin but it is unlikely that it will overtake bitcoin, there are already very different tenhologies and bitcoin is still the first currency yet!

Yes,people turn away from ETH little as the market condition doesn't say anything positive till now.But people still have the hope on ETH will come back with a strong face.The team should take the situation seriously and updating the features.

Ethereum remain one of the best coin to have been develop irrespective of whatever anyone thought, infact the reason why we are having so much post about ethereum shows that, ethereum is one of the best.

Ethereum is a coin we cannot do without, most especially as an investor or a trader, which makes it  one of the best in the crypto world, except for its volatility. Even this same volatility that we talk of, is what enable some people to make so much profit from it. I am yet to see any coin that is as good and can withstand so much pressure as ETH.

A big article that appears to be discussing Ethereum issues but in reality it just a way to promote another project, now let us talk about Ethereum for real, I think that the downfall of ICO's and the rise of STO is a good thing for Ethereum, not a bad thing since the scam projects of ICOs was a big bad publicity for Ethereum also the upcoming upgrade for Ethereum will be a big thing and will lid for an increase in price for sure and that's why I am buying Ethereum right now and will continue to do so.

Well, it is you own opinion and I have absolutely different. STO can be a trigger for ethereum as well+ POS will make ethereum growing in a long term perspective!

ETH maybe a best coin for us but to some people its not. We all have different analysis with this coin and we cannot force them to like it, eth may still go forward even if a lot of people are doubting about this coin before. Analyze on your own, this allow you to invest freely without having any second thought, for me ETH is really a good coin.

I can see your point mentioning about the total supply of ethereum. As supporter and as an investor we always check on the important info and details of the project and we never miss to look at the total supply because it could give us the confidence of investing knowing that very essential information and I also wonder why ethereum do not divulge about that matter.

Crypto currency investment is a matter of trust and trust in our future if we believe investment in crypto currencies is certainly no reason to buy and invest if you are hesitant to leave

It depends on your understanding. But for me, until now, I have no problem of buying ethereum. Because ethereum coin was the best availability coin to offer in our country, so I have no problems with it.

This is an important point. Proof of stake can have a huge influence on the ETH price as it will motivate people to hodl :)

The new hardfork is going to pave the way for POS and also help with scalability and over inflation. All of these things will help to bolster the price of ethereum, for this reason it should be a part of everyone's portfolio

I also have some doubts about Ethereum, but I believe that it will be able to get out of this state. Still, this is the most popular smart contracts platform and I also believe that the development of STO will help Ethereum to come to life again and get back its second place.

I think that Ethereum should be considered only in the long term. Too much has happened and it will take time for the situation to improve. But don't write it off. He will still be able to compete for his place in the market.

I respect your decision, but I would like to buy more Ehereum if I have money! ICOs are not doing well on the Ethereum platform, but there have many other platforms like NEO, Steller and so on and their ICOs are fail too. So, this is not the ETH's fault, rather the crypto bear condition is ruing our hopes. I don't think others coins will grow enough if Ethereum stops working!

Am still waiting to see the impact STOs are going to make in the blockchain because right now the truth is that nothing actually seem to be happening since the Whole STO take over ICOs are still getting investments here and there and the market is growing big so i doubt is going to affect ICOs and also this has nothing to do with ETH

ethereum is indeed an important part of the crypto world because ethereum has many functions that support the activities of investors and traders and developers so that ethereum is always needed and in other words, there will always be people who buy it and of course it is the main factor that makes it be strong coin

I think ethereum will even benefit from the increasing activities of projects in STO unlike ICOs.
Now with STO investors can pay for the tokens they want to buy using a wider range of cryptocurrencies and when it is time to sell, they also have more trading pairs . this means lesser dumping to ethereum also lesser dumping of ethereum for fiat.
This is a win for ethereum and I believe it will make the price a lot more stable

Most people won't do an STO because it's just too difficult to organize. You need to do lot of paper work and a good idea can be destroyed by such requirements. ICO was very weak yes, but it's quite difficult to organize a new STO.

sorry if I'm slow here but are you just shilling nauticus or what's the relation between STOs and Nauticus and Not buying eth?

if I only buy Etherium except just a little bro. because I'm still waiting for the price to come down again. because I am producing if the price of Etherium will drop sharply back in the 2019 film

As for me, i still believe that Ethereum can still be used as a way of investment, or perhaps just for trading.
With all the market movement on ethereum, we can trade it and gain profit from it.

Everyone has to decide for themselves whether or not they invest in ethereum. Whoever does the right thing at the end, will show up over time. I still trust in ethereum and am satisfied with my investment.

Not just with ETH but there's a lot of top coins who are suffering right now. It just happen that XRP is being manipulated and ETH was not. I believe of this coin not because I'm a hodler but because I have my trust with ETH and I know it will rise. We cannot force everyone to buy ETH, and you should not listen because investing is not about that.

there may also be truth from your statement, that indeed etherum has not shown its total supply so that the possibility of etherum is not limited and makes its value difficult to grow even higher in the future, and indeed investors will doubt it.

Ethereum has been a project I've learned from the first day I've learned so far, but I've never invested in this project because it has several cons. In particular Vitalik is a problem in itself that is not the only negative thing that is present for me. I have never invested in the project for various reasons, such as the lack of deficiencies and mistakes, and most importantly, the fact that the project is far behind many alternatives.

I think we can easily see some huge ethereum pump when the new wave of growth comes. And even some ICO market revival will happen at that time. So, ether  has some future potential in my opinion.

Ethereum was a GREAT idea, but not-so-great implementation.

Many voices have risen concerns about the code quality.
Then there were hacks, not necessarily in Ethereum, still, maybe a better design could have avoided that (I'm not certain though, since it's impossible to have flexibility and stability/safety well together).
Then there were the bad politics that have split ETH and ETC.

I still wait for the better competitor to rise, still, they are way behind...

I think too , eth its very useful project with great potencial in future , also depending prom market conditions. Moreover soon planned updates.

An interesting opinion about Ethereum, I didn't even think about it. Perhaps we really will not see the price of ether at $ 1200 anymore, because the ICO time is definitely coming to an end. At least the crypto-currency community almost does not believe in them, Buterin was right that ICOS live out their last days.

I don't think ICO's live their last days, because quality projects will always find investors...

Low quality projects and scams will surely not be funded as they were last year when investors just poured their money on every project that had whitepaper.

I think Ether is the most undervalued coin on the market and I am sure this coin will be pumped before the end of February because of their big announcement if it won't get postponed by devs again.

Ethereum price collapsed suddenly but it is recovering gradually with the uptrend! I don't know why people blame Ethereum only. Even Bitcoin's price has collapsed! in 2017, BTC price hit almost 20K USD and we are now in February of 2019 and the BTC price is only 4K USD! Because the total crypto market goes down or collapsed significantly. Ethereum network has one of the revolutionary contract system, which is a blessing for the crypto world. That's why new projects are choosing ETH platform to open their own project.
What about NEO, Steller platform? many ICOs launched on those platforms too and many were a scam or failed, but people never blamed them. However, this year can be a good year for STO projects but if the crypto market grows and make a stable market cap then ICO market will rise again.

Of course now it is better to be generally out of the market, as most of the coins fall and will still fall and Ethereum is no exception , but I think part of the funds can still be invested in this coin it is fundamental in the market and keep it I think for sure

The problem is that there must be always people like you in every situation of life just to make it look tough but nothing special about it than nothing, why you stating the reason you think buying eth isn't right for you than convincing who is willing to, and you are called that a research which means you never want it rise. You need the positive thoughts and keep negative to yourself most times, just feel like it good for you.

Perhaps from the point of view of a long-term investor, ethereum is not the most interesting object for investment, because the larger the capitalization of a project, the harder it to grow. But considering how intensely it was squeezed down last year and what volumes of purchases whales made at prices lesser than $ 100, I think that the eth has a very good potential for growth

Why should someone hold his negative opinion to himself? So only sharing positive news are welcome and this will cause more problems if noone criticizes project for getting more development by team.

The future, still seems positive for ETH, the growth rate since the year 2019 began has been stable and worth invest on, also the forth coming hardfork will have a positive impact on the demand for ETH use, thou ICO  investment has a negative impact on the ETH, Iam optimistic that when the bull run commence ETH will become stable and rise in value.

Everything crashed mate if you look into it there is a small difference from bitcoin based on percentage bitcoin price now is $3900 which is down 80% from its ATH(All time High) and Ethereum is -90.01% down from its ath only a 10% difference. Those scam ico's is not the fault of ethereum it is like open source ready made blockchain everyone can create their own token easily. Our task is to be cautious, don't enter suspicious ico's do your research about the team if its real. But with the market state right looks like everyone is afraid to invest even some ico's is not starting they are waiting for green market.

Do you own research . That is exactly my sentiments, that should help a lot with whatever decision you are making

Yes, so far the price of Ethereum always rises when there will be a big event, Hardfork, and now is a good opportunity to invest in Ehereum coins, because I'm sure the price will rise before the hardfork arrives.

Ethereum has been unfairly portrayed as the scape goat in the controversy over illegitimate crowdsales and scams for not having done anything to censor or restrict them on its platform but that shouldn't reflect badly on the technology itself, which is designed to be transparent and versatile enough for a much broader range of uses, and it will soon expand to include enterprise and government solutions so there's lots of potential as a long term investment if it can maintain its market prominence

Well everyone has their own feeling on cryptocurrency, for me i still believe in ethereum it will still worth to make an investment on ethereum.
in the future there will be a good time for ethereum.

Who knows yourself why you don't buy ethereum, but until now I still believe ethereum will develop better for the future and still have the potential to be invested, and of course slowly ethereum will rise again even though it takes time

As a trader, of course, buying Ethereum is very important in my opinion. Because Ethereum can invest in ICO and ICO projects on average using the Ethereum platform. Whereas Ethereum also has great potential and I personally really like holding Ethereum coins.

Ethereum was be main portofolio if we were investors and holder.this coins must be in our bag if we didnt want to miss big profit in future.moreover it ethereum algorithm already changes to POS, it will make all ethereum community very happy.no need for them to spend any cost for earning ethereum.

All Ethereum did was provide an opportunity for people to trade freely. It's absolutely not ETH's fault that people fell for obvious scams, and they were certainly not scammed by anyone working on ETH.

Bullshit! STO will even be worse because it will have no liquidity. People are invensting in ICO because they see opportunities and want to support new projects and get the coins and STO ist just opposite of good things ICO offered to its investors.
ICO is still far better than STO but ICO is high risk.

Ethereum is the best Altcoin for me. Many of my trading results are from Etherum. Even if trading in the centralized exchange, I prefer a coin / token pair to Ethereum. And I rarely trade with a Bitcoin pair.

Now I don’t buy it, because I’m sure that it will fall down to 70 dollars exactly, maybe lower. Now hamsters can only enter, but not smart people for sure!

Well, this is your opinion. Some portion of people in the crypto space are buying ethereum because they think its a nice investment opportunity to make some profits. Looking at the current market situation, its easier to make some cool profits just investing and trading ethereum.

You missed that opportunity, and ETH will never go down $ 70 again, the ETH price has recovered and now we are waiting for the price to go up every day.

And in vain there is still no alt that was so widely distributed and brought to the market something new. So do not be distrustful of what the whole structure of many coins is built on.

Maybe because you think ethereum is not as good as ethereum, so you don't buy it, but I think ethereum is still potentially good and will slowly rise again and reach its normal price, and I'm still interested in investing in ethereum

I think Ethereum is worth investing. In just a few years, the price of ETH has increased so much. I will pay attention to Ethereum for a long time.

And I do not understand why there is a big hype about Nauticus exchange. Another exchange with low fees, why do you think that it will have a success?

The fact is that ICO is not only the Ethereum problem, because when it was bought for investing in projects, no one was against it, but due to this, capitalization rose!  Ethereum itself is quite promising, the market situation is just like that!

Honestly I believe in Ethereum despite all the negative factors ! The development team is working and constantly improving. I think Ethereum has a great future. Once bitcoin starts to grow Ethereum is also an example of an uptrend. It's just a matter of time !

Only time will decide whether ethereum will be worth for investing or not because unlike last few years now it is facing heavy competition with a similar other coins. That is the reason many people are considering that ethereum may not get back high value like it had done in the past.

Its unlimited supply must be another concern for many people when a coin is having inflationary nature it may not be suitable for long term holding. The final thing must be ethereum based tokens massive scam scenarios, which had made very bad name for ICO industry and for ethereum as well.

it's true because everyone is different but for myself until whenever I continue to believe and use ethereum, because this coin is very profitable and has a good future, there are so many investors who use this coin

Ethereum still has aces in his sleeve. The most important thing is that the project has a strong team of developers who are constantly improving their product.

Ethereum is going to be on the top of crypto currencies market after their next update. Devs are going to reduce transactions costs and make this coin much more faster. I hope investors will finally realise the real value of Ether.

yeah, because up to now ethereum still hasn't opened their ace but it is able to occupy the second position again in the coinmarketcap which yesterday was taken over by the ripple, from now on ethereum will continue to grow and I always believe in the movement of ethereum

Believing with something that have potentials to deliver is one common thing with ETH investors, we do have our own assessment regarding to each projects around the market and what is good for us might not be the same with someone, you just have to be knowledgeable with what you believe
that can bring you good outcome.

Things will be dictate after the project succeed or failed, it's up to supporters to buy and hold.

On the contrary for me. Ethereum is the only asset I am buying and accumulating. Unlike other people ethereum is something really valuable for me and I believe in ETH on a long distance

looking at ETH for now it is one of the potential coins which is place second in the crypto market and looking at the volatility of ETH every investor can invest in it with any small amount when it is falling at low price and earn big when it pumps up. I also think the frequently falling of ETH  secured many people at the point where they do not like to invest in it but let me assure you ETH will not vanish in the crypto market like how some coins do, so have trust in it and invest in it and stay cool  waiting for brighter future .

Ethereum is one of the strongest crypto currencies. If you want to make money on it in the coming years, it is quite possible to do it, but I would not bet on 10 - 20 years, who knows what will happen to cryptocurrency during this time. Follow the trends.

Ethereum does have the potential to continue to grow because it has very good resources.
for those who think far away they will still believe in Ethereum because as you say this is only a matter of time.
so all you need is patience.

I think that Ethereum after improvement will become even brighter and more noticeable among other coins.
Investing in it is a good guarantee for your investment against losses, even despite the strong volatility of the cryptocurrency market.
Many players on the market place their bets on Ethereum and in my opinion they will not lose and will remain with good profits.

10-20 years is too big a number, it cannot make us sure that we will always comply with the original investment. And that can still happen within a few years if I now buy ETH with $ 144 and the year after ETH is only $ 44, I can be scared and sell them all.

Well I don't buy Ethereum yet just because it still didn't test of 50$ level. Previous x20 growth has begun from that level.
Or if ETH will rise above 190$ and retest that level and 190 will become a support it should think about buying ETH

Now I don’t even consider the ethereum for investments because I can’t understand it, I can’t figure out where it is going. It would already seem that not where to fall further, but it still falls in price. I decided to leave it and not take it for investment.

Please understand me correctly, I am pretty good at ethereum and I think that in principle this project has good prospects, however after several months I received my really big income from investments in the Etheera project - I realized that altcoins with small capitalization - it is much better than ethereum.

I agree with you, I prefer altcoins with small capitalization can bring better profit than ethereum of course but I also can't understand where is this coin going, what is it's direction. It had many hard forks which was very dissapointing for a lot of people + lately one pool mined block worths of 300 000$ ethereum, don't know what it was, how was that possible. Combination of all problemd made ripple to be sometimes on second place.

With the recent decline in the number of ICOs, I'm of the opinion that Ethereum will one day rise and will be less volatile since they aren't many ICOs selling off their receive ETH.

Despite the fact that some have thought of not investing in ethereum again, just like the OP has said too, ethereum is still growing and it us not a coin of the past.
Ethereum has been existing before some of us came into the crypyo space. It gained so much mass adoption and it is still growing.
I will not be surprised if ethereum continues with this same trend.

it is precisely the advantage offered by ethereum, that everyone can make and develop their own coins and I think ethereum cannot be blamed for many fraud cases that occur because they are very flexible
they are platforms like Google, Facebook or Twitter, so if there is a fraud on their platform, does it make sense to blame them? not at all, all errors and responsibilities may only be delegated by the user

The  ethereum Blockchain seems to be outdated, many new project are faster and even easier to use. We still see many old ethereum based ico waiting to dump there ico ethereum, into the market. You can find some good swing trade with ethereum, but I would not hold it for long term.

Ethereum is good coin and most used by most token in market. I think many token using ethereum network because its good for bussiness and using smart contract. Bu right now many good coin and can be ethereum competitor and we have a lot option to choose to hold

Well , you do not need one asset to accumulate, since there is a rule of deversification in order not to lose money , I think you should always accumulate as many coins as possible

I have been accumulating ETH nonetheless; I still value it over the other projects mentioned like EOS; I'm also in NTS a decent amount but I consider my ETH an easily cash out asset.

STOs will significantly contribute to the decentralization of finance in general and that is great. Everybody should have the opportunity to hold shares in businesses all around the world in a way that nobody can seize your assets.

ETH is used by many bad guys. They have created a token with smart contract of ETH too easily and launched scam projects and mobilized a lot of eth from investors. You can see that a lot of eth is sold from ico so the price of eth is always low

Every network that offers censorship resistance will be used by bad guys, too. This is not special to Ethereum. If you want everybody to have access you also have to include the bad guys.

not only Ethereum is used by bad people, many other coins are used to deceive others, because smart people are clever in any way to cheat others.
we must be careful if we want to buy Ethereum,
Ethereum can still grow well and produce, and that depends on how we run and manage it properly.
the choice is not good if you don't have Ethereum, then you can regret it.

The OP is right because in a bear market, the coin the surges higher is the most dumped so it is better to go away from those coins especially when there has been a day of greens and you begin to think it will ever stay that way.

I do not know why some market players do not trust Ethereum.
In my opinion, this is one of those coins that will be great for a long time.
If you invest for the long term you will succeed.

I have seen several posts from people promoting the nauticus exchange and its native token NTS and this post again is another subtle attempt at promoting Nauticus. It has finally caught my attention and I will check it out ASAP

There are threats that you just cannot manage. There is no way to account for everything, but what counts is whether Ethereum will do more good than harm and I am convinced that it will be that way.

Some reason, many people believe that the main functionality of the Ethereum platform is fundraising by projects at ICO. But it is not. Ethereum smartcontracts have great potential.

Yes, all the coins from the crypto currency are very well cashed , but now I do not see good moments to keep eth , I think that it can again fall to$80

there are alot of altcoins to buy , but I suggest you to buy ETH  it is still the best altcoins , because simply of it is smart contacts capability

Ethereum's problems seems to be steaming from the fact that it is generally a simple and loose blockchain thus permitting just about anyone to pick up the technology and develop any shitty or trashy project mostly with the intentions of defrauding others. This has not only caused several issues in the industry, it has led to dwindling of trust associated with the Ethereum network leading to plummeting of prices. However, I still think Ethereum presents a decent investment opportunity due to its wide scale usability.

if you do not buy Ethereum later maybe you will regret, Ethereum will provide a considerable advantage.
he is the best Altcoin he can build and develop, and many projects that use the Ethereum and Ethereum platforms are Crypto coins that have great potential.
The price of Ethereum is also not too expensive so there is no reason if you don't buy it other than dislike.

Icos failing doesn't mean Ethereum will fail too, Ethereum has broader usage which is not just about launching and funding ICOs. Think about dapps building, Ethereum has made this so much easy that it takes little to nothing to build dapps.

Ethereum has a community that is so big that for me narket ethereum is much safer. the chances of experiencing a decline will always be there because we cannot possibly know for sure the price movements of the digital currency. there is always a change and all we have to do is try our best to make use of it and make it a momentum to make a profit.

I trust Ethereum. I also keep it in my briefcase. I think he is still a promising coin, and he managed again to regain second place in the ranking.

Well, everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion in the crypto space. But its quite sad that you don't want to invest in Ethereum. Looking at the current price rate of Ethereum, you have the opportunity to invest and make about 70% of your invested income.

ICOs faile for a real reason and all whole ecosystem has somehow deep connections to each other, ignoring one part will not help to understand the big image. After the fall in prices,ETH red prices are followed by altcoins that made on ETH blockchain.

I think you are right, Ethereum and any cryptos in the market are used by bad guys. But I think the potential of ETH is obvious and the long-time investment of this cryptos are suggested to get a lot of cash when the market cap is flying up.

You don't get a lot of cash in the traditional form, but a lot of crypto that is worth a lot. One issue I see is that everybody wants crypto to replace FIAT, but when crypto goes up in value they all sell their crypto for FIAT.

Well its up for everyone's own descrition and for me why we point and accuse Ethereum Blockchain for those so called scam ICO, its a regulation problem from the country of which the ICO was originated and Ethereum is only lend its services via smart contracts from those people who created and running the ICO, Ethereum is a decentralized platform and the anonimity and privacy must be protected and thats how decentralization and crypto works. My point of view is ICO was still viable if the regulation was impose and established from those country that most of ICO's was originated. STO,ICO etc. are just a name but all of it are just crowdfunding or Fundraising activity thats why it must be regulated!

...because I'm buying EOS https://cmc.io/coins/eos  ;D

That is what I do most of the time. So, instead of holding it for a long time, it is more profitable for me to evaluate the present price. Besides it is not clear how long the bear market will last. Anyway if I had another place for earning, I would have kept it for a long time, but trade is source of my earnings.

Income from trading is uncertain because there is often a decline in crypto so I will always save assets in crypto even though sometimes the emitation is now down by about 20% I'm sure it will come back.

Perhaps you are right and we need to limit our reserves of this coin, but even without the ICO, it is still technically strong and popular, in the coming years it can make good money, and then look at the situation

I hope for you that it is not a main source of your earnings or otherwise you are to a large degree at the mercy of markets, and markets can be ruthless.

Am not buying  ETH because I feel the Ethereum developer where not strategic to reposition, evaluate and restrategise  during the bear, Several failed project had a negative impact on ETH in 2018, Other token have taken advantage of what ETH developers lack.

On the other hand which project does have developers as strong as the Ethereum network? I can't think of many.

ethereum supposed to be decentralized but it's not real , there are a lot of whales storing ethereum and more than 50% of it is storing in just a few thousand wallets, I'm not buying ethereum either and with the new ICO managing of binance , soon it wouldn't be usable for many of ICOs too.

indeed there are a lot of investors and miners who are still holding ethereum they have when it comes from mining or buying when the price is cheap, but you have to know that ethereum also has an unlimited supply and does not say how much supply from ethereum is why I not buying ethereum karenai is very dangerous and risky to buy.

A lot of strong developers in the market, just Ethereum was ahead of the creation of the product and will be the first , but there are other coins on the technology that are more technological.

Seemlly going to agree with you , but i think there is more to ethereum than just ICO, tech can evolve

I do not think that STO will become popular. I don’t see much community interest in them. I also think that Ethereum is one of the best coins to buy. I think that Ethereum will show better growth than Bitcoin.

for now Ethereum is still the most successful project because its products are used by many ICOs but as we know in reality there are not many successful projects and it is not good for ethereum so the team really has to think about how to win it not only because the product is selling well they have to think of ways that projects that use Ethereum will also be successful.

I hope that no negative will follow after Vitalik Buterin’s statement about intentions to raise the price per transaction. Of course, casumo is very small, only one gas, but since people are greedy, this can cause a certain problem.

In as much that you made some reasonable points that is worth discussing about you not buying ethereum I still have my disagreement with that.
Ethereum is the second coin in the market and sure has good future

The existence of several ICO projects that scam makes the ethereum price worse, and according to the ICO is the main cause of ethereum getting worse. I am more pleased if the ICO is abolished because it will restore investors' trust in ethereum. However, I continue to buy ethereum gradually because this coin still has good opportunities and potential to be a long-term investment.

Sure, its pump was ICO-driven but so is the dump. Nowadays ICOs are exactly what drives the price downward, too much dumping.

I respect your point of view about Ethereum. However, I am bullish with this technology. I’ve met Ethereum’s scientist Dr. Virgil Griffith at Boracay Island because of the Boracay Blockchain Summit. He was one of the guest speakers of that event, talking about the future of Ethereum.

I honestly think that the fallout of ICOs has nothing to do with Ethereum’s price. I have no question regarding Ethereum’s technology, especially the latest Constantinople fork that would scale transactions even more. He also said that proof-of-stake isn’t something that we should fear nowadays. He said that we should be excited for Ethereum in many years to come, as they’re having lots of plans.

I began to invest in Tron. I think this is one of the main competitors for Ethereum. The ecosystem of Tron is rapidly developing.

A lot of competitor of course, and ADA I think is the most threat aside from XRP. But I still see a good thing with ETH, and because of this I continue to buy despite of many criticisms, i know ETH will be more expensive again so no one can stop me from buying ETH. I don’t want to spend much on altcoins that is not on the top position, this is my strategies on making money.

I will still insist on choosing Ethereum tokens because of its wide application. Many altcoins are developed based on Ethereum. I believe that in the future, its price will rise a lot.

In 2017 the price of ETH has increased greatly thanks to the success of ICO. And in 2018 when ICO failed and died, ETH also collapsed, I could not trust ETH and long-term investment because now there is no reason why ETH could go up.

Security tokens have come to liberation the already dieing faith of the icos and ethereum market, but the only problem with security tokens is it inclusive nature this is so because it requires high level of capital before one can get involve with security token in like the ICO market where one can invest in a project with a very small amount. But in the face of all this there are still some great projects which are still doing the ICO and I believe their are going to be successful.

I bought ethereum in late 2017, and did trading until mid-2018, finally I decided to sell ethereum type a lot of news that all crypto prices will decline. I may be a coward, and very unprepared if I have to lose all my money because of trading. I feel that this decision is very appropriate because the price of ethereum actually falls very cheaply.
Until now I still haven't dared to buy ethereum anymore, because I haven't seen a good light from ethereum.

Ethereum is still worth a buy. I can see if moving into the 300 mark soon if bitcoin continues to rise

More technological? What does that even mean? Ethereum got the ball rolling and they have the strongest developers in my opinion.
