Ethereum (https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/tag/Ethereum/) has confronted an accident underneath $160 this year, learnt by The Coin Republic. It is said that this week has been unsafe for ethereum. The destruction was unforeseen of it as in the ongoing occasions ethereum was performing truly well like it generally does. It would hold a gathering in Osaka this year. The destruction was in reality a cruel blow on it.

It was at that point dropped to $220 and after that to $160 per token. The following day ended up being random as the value rose to $175. Positive thinking and confidence in ethereum were reestablished in brokers.

If that's true, then we don't need to rush to determine.  The panic will continue to cause prices to fall, and continue to be careful.
Don't let other people make this situation the right moment to gather more ETH at a low price and stay calm.
Currently Ethereum is at $ 173 and looks better since 24 hours ago.

The booming period for ICOs has passed, so ETH is having a hard time attracting investors. I think ETh will be stuck in the long run and very difficult to return to the $ 500 price.
Be careful if you want to invest in ETH.

I won't call it performing bad, actually Ethereum is still the best DAPP environment for crypto & most favorite by crypto users.

Etherum price compared to it's ATH isn't surprising to be honest, some other GREAT cryptos went to down -90% since ATH .

Etherum is gonna be great again once it broke that $400 - $500 levels again, the whole market will be great again actually in dollar value.

The whole cyrptoshphere right now in't great ince last BTC run to $13500, now it's time to settle down, build new support areas to start the new Bull Run wave, it won't be as fast as late 2017 as many would wish. It will take couple more months to start the new Bull wave, i predict it to be couple weeks before BC next halving date. So patience is the key in this market.

Whatever happens to ETH i won't doubt about it compare to many new projects, ETH is very strong digital currency and if it loses value i will keep buying the dip and advice everyone to do the same, its a reliable investment plan

Well, in the same way, bitcoin and all other currencies have fallen deep over the past week. such a fall does not mean that ETH is bad. just the whole market began to feel trouble

You have a strong belief in altcoin ethereum, I realize that because anyone who still has altcoin ethereum also believes in that, including me, one of them. I have used this situation to buy more ETH but if there is no good growth until the end of 2019 maybe I will exchange it for other options.

I am not a support of ETH since last year dump but sometimes I think anything can happen with the coin. As a pioneering project with lots of use, though had a bad outcome with the 2017 ICOs, with so much market dump. I believe they had gone a long way in the market and qualified to stay in the second position if they bring in some updates on the development and marketing.

I'm sorry I kind of miss something in your OP. What accident are you talking about? And destruction seems to be too harsh a word. Is there any destruction that is happening? Unsafe is also a misplaced word. As far as I know, the whole cryptocurrency market fell hard. Even Bitcoin is leading the falling with its long decrease in value. It has lost more than a thousand USD in just a matter of hours. Ethereum was also one of them just as the rest of the top altcoins.

Just wait for big Ethereum network update in 2020 and legalization of ICO's by creating legal base for them. Also not all ICO's are unsuccessful there are a few giving profits their investors so don't be such pessimistic. Also remember that while crypto market grows even shit coins grows. We talking about second coin in crypto world and first in alt coins world. So if crypto market will enter new bull phase ethereum will cost again 1,000$ despite on everything. Crypto became just another stocks element nothing more. So nobody really consider about it as technology anymore.

Yes everything is going down, but the main point in here is ETH experiences its deepest downfall this year. In other words, this dump is the biggest and the deepest ETH has ever seen in 2019. We have seen it going down before, but not this deep and also we hear nothing about this downfall which caused a lot of panics.


Nobody is saying it bad, it is just people are panicking over this dump and this is the biggest drop ETH has ever seen in 2019.
Just think about it, last night you are holding 100 ETH worth of $22.000 and in the morning you see your 100 ETH becomes $16.000.

Well... there is no doubt that the destruction of the ICO market had a negative impact on the Ethereum exchange rates. From an all time high of $1,400 per coin on January 2018, the prices crashed by 95%, to trade at $86 per coin a few months later. But check the movement in the price after that low point. The exchange rates had recovered to around $330 per coin by July 2019, before a bearish movement took it below $200 once more.

The ICO market is still down, and there is no reason to believe that Ether will recover anytime soon. But the big question here is whether the correction is justified or not. Does the ICO bust justify a 95% reduction in the price of Ethereum? I don't think so. I would say that the fair value of Ethereum lies somewhere between $300 per coin and $500 per coin.

I won't flag this downfall as something bad because Ethereum is still up a lot since its inception. Its true that they have some struggle with their smart contracts as lately most of the coin prefer to have their own chain and wallet instead of going for ERC-20.

We're almost in q4 of 2019 and so far none of the altcoins really shined so why would ethereum have a burst ? This year is simply not for altcoins and but for accumulation of them at low and different prices so just buy the dips and forget about the price until next year or  2 years from now and remember if you want to get rich over night , it won't happen.

yes I agree with you, when the next bullrun ethereum will be one of the most shining altcoins. You know ethereum 2.0 will be the moment of ethereum's revival as king of the Dapps. so just wait, next year will be the year for ethereum.

I have no doubts that ETH will drop further, but it will give a good chance to buy low. ETH is one of fundamental coins that I am holding in my portfolio and unfortunately it did not do well science 2017, but hope is still alive.

Yes, indeed this year was downfall either ETH prices or other altcoins, but investors, who really believe ETH, they are keeping investing in ETH. In any case, it caused because of that ETH is a believable coin and in my view, price falling can not mean ETH is bad choice for investing. l hope it will change this event in 2020.

That what i think the reason why ETH continue declining after they hit $1500 ATH and that was the season started making many ICO . They accept only ethereum for buying a token. After many ICO has been successfull all they do is convert accumalted eth to eighter Fiat or btc  making sure it will not be affected with the price volatility. Since there are too many of them this is now the result.

Ethereum may face the deepest fall but all alts and other assets experienced that. In overall, market is going on a fall trend but I am hundred percent sure it is a sign of an increase in market like how it did 2-3 years ago. So nobody should lose hope, just wait and be patient. Patient is the key. In mostly 2 years, these numbers will be just funny for us.

yes you're right, the only thing we can do right now is wait until it gets better. and it's not only ethereum that experienced this, all altcoins and even bitcoins also fell. so stay confident, and next year there will be good things. I think it will make a big change to the crypto market. every time halving bitcoin happens there will definitely be a pump, maybe with this the market will be bullrun.

I think ETH has not been so down to excessive prices, maybe it was just a market correction, but the ETH platform is still thriving when few projects call for ETH, but on the positive side. ETH-based applications are still in development.

In my opinion, ETH is having a capital problem at ETH when the ICO had too many scammer in the past year and made it a fear of investors.  Perhaps because of that measure, ETH lacks capital from investors.  They will soon come up with new strategies and plans to bring ETH back in the near future.

I agree, ETH's price should be in the range of $ 300 ~ $ 500.
Developers need to take measures to prevent junk ICOs from appearing on the ETH chain. Junk and fraudulent ICOs only discourage investors and distrust the ETH project. I think ETH needs a very long way to recover.

Price drops should be seen as a opportunity to invest for the future especially if it is trustable coin. Where there is demand and supply, there should also be a fall.  ETH's price was more affected by the recent market decrease, possibly due to the sudden increase. The majority sold it from the top to avoid losing money and and accordingly this was caused panic sales. Anyway we need to give time to the market, IMO this year the market has increased as needed. I already appreciate the increase this year has shown.

Eth is a champion coin for me and yes I understand the downfall of eth is really hard to see but I don't think it will be the same, ups and downs are part of this crypto trading. Also a lot of scam bounty projects have impacted the value already and I am sure eth will make a come back again with some serious pump. We are already in the last quarter and it will shine again.

actually it doesn't only happen to ethereum but some other altcoins also go down together. I don't know what's going on with the crypto market lately, but I think ETH still has a chance to pump $ 200 before the end of this year.

I see ethereum continuing to recover. Today it has risen in price by almost nine percent and its price, according to CoinMarketCap, is $ 184. It is possible that this coin will come out of its steep peak down. Of course, this coin will repeat the price movements of bitcoin, therefore, all eyes on it. The fourth quarter has already begun and Bitcoin is quite capable of growth, as it was in the second quarter, when it increased in price by almost four times.

ETH could be your destination investing for the future because always consist price after dump can go back to higher in short time, when bitcoin have positive way to higher I think ETH allow how bitcoin raised up to higher price again, never late for take part become ETH investors.

What really caused ETH boom was many ICO using its platform, and most investors had to buy ETH, that demand has isnce drop because of IEO innovation. The ethereum newtork is still very much in use till date, as most project are built on the platform. ETH price will still grow again but they should handle the issue of slow network and rising gas fee so as to make it more attractive.

I think Ethereum is an altcoin that has great potential in the future, maybe at this time ethereum is experiencing a sharp decline but who knows today or tomorrow the price of Ethereum can be significant again. on the other hand there are many projects that use the ethereum platform, there are still many communities involved, and I think Ethereum still has hope of increasing its value again.

ICO is really big help for ETH to have thier own demand at early stage you will see that everything  is working fine.
But after too many ICO has been created by 2018 different things happen there are too many success project sold thier ETH to fiat and the price continue declining they sold thier ETH bulk and that was the reason why ETH is hard to maintain the price.

Not necessarily,,, price drops are of course great for long term hodlers,,, like myself but these are only if you have a long-term belief for the coin. Do not rely on trust,,, we are all incapable of being objective in trust once we own the coin.

Buy the dips, but never buy just because price is dropping!

True, I am also still convinced that the price of ETH will rise again at the end of this year, although in the middle of this year ETH has experienced a very severe price decline, but the potential to rise again at the end of this year is always wide open for ETH, I personally am always optimistic against altcoin ETH, because ETH altcoin is the best platform in cryptocurrency.

I like your style (Buy the dips, but never buy just because price is dropping)
Savvy investors always have a way to secure their investment in the market. Even though investment is risky, we must also think that investment does not only depend on falling prices, but always pay attention to the consequences too, because not all coins that fall will increase again or have great opportunities in the future. so, always consider this.

I believe in this project and I know that it will cost much more than now. I try to gradually accumulate coins

It is not only ETH suffered from the market crisis lately. Btc, bch, bnb and other altcoins suffered from the bearish trend, too. However, as of today they are slowly recovering. Seeing how the bear attacked the market but the resistance is strong and can still climb up again.

Even if ICO days are gone. I mean, slowly not that reputable like before. But to think that ETH still stands and stronger despite all of the bad news about it.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done here, due to the fact that the cryptocurrency market is manipulated by big players and constantly falls, new investors and players do not want to enter such a market where you can lose everything at once in seconds or minutes and therefore companies that conduct ICOs on the ethereum blockchain also almost all fails, and because of this, the demand for ethereum falls, but everything should change when the growth of altcoins begins.

Still optimistic that the time for alts will come back and this coin will regain its value, you have to manage your risk factors if you are still following this project. Investors who are going to long term would enjoy this downfall since they can buy more assets and hold until the alts market bounce back and
start to pump. Don't panic if ever you see bad downfalls instead take your time to observe and try to make more investment.

That's right, ETh is currently developing the Ethereum 2.0 platform which will be released in 2020. The ETH developers are working hard to make ethereum better. The current price of ETH is indeed low, but the opportunity to go up and reach the highest price is still very likely in the following year. I better invest in ETh than in shitcoin whose development is unclear.

yes that's very true, now the ETH has experienced the deepest fall this year of approximately up to $ 181, this could be an opportunity for us to invest long-term and can be a big profit, but remember if you want to invest it is better to strengthen mentally before you regret or get a loss .

Maybe $160 is the lowest ethereum price in this year, and we don't want to see the other lowest price again. We now see ethereum has got increase and the candle is on the green so we can expect to see the higher price. I wonder what will happen when ethereum 2.0 launch in the next year, will it could pump the price to the higher price. I hope that could happen because that will give trust back to the investor, and they will come back in the project.

Ethereum still is the best investment besides of bitcoin, and with support from developers and the team, I think in a short time, ethereum will book a higher price than now. So we still have a chance to buy ethereum now as the price still not increase too high and it still around at $180.

Yes that's the optimistic approach which tenured users will adopt as whenever the value of ETH slumps then ta an investment opportunity for us and not so long ago the value of ETH dropped down to somewhere around $50 to 60 and those who have invested during those period got a return of 5x times within months. We need to ignore the negative rumours which are spread by anti crypto elements as ETH and bitcoin will always fight back for sure.

I hope that this year Ethereum can return successfully. If at this year the price of Ethereum Falls!! I think not. Because from the beginning of the year that the coin shows good developments and the selling value is also slowly increasing.
I personally from the beginning of the year do not make long-term investments against Ethereum, but I do daily trading. I've managed to benefit from Ethereum, though not much.

Whatever happens in Ethereum I think it does not matter because the developer surely will not let this coin fall deeper.

Don't panic 'cause it will just continue to cause prices to fall. I am sure ethereum is gonna be great again, prices will go up if there is a new bull phase in crypto. The ICO market is still down,the only thing we can do right now is to wait.

If the price was lower then more people would use them online. I think that they should make it cheaper.

Ethereum is not having a tough time. It is going strong in 2019.

Eth is having a hard time this year to recover, the good thing we can do is to take this opportunity to have eth at this rate. I have this feeling eth could recover in time or probably by the following year hopefully. Agree to that in terms of Ico it’s time has finished because it is not successful this year. Once there is good development will happen in eth and more adoption also I think it will increase.

Correct. this year, Ethereum continues to experience falling prices in the crypto market. arguably, this is the worst year for ETH prices. hopefully in the future prices continue to experience a significant increase in the crypto market and return to its former glory.

I don't think there is a warning sign for Ethereum supporters and investors, your $160 is not the price of Ethereum it's now at $179, it's very normal and it happens to so many cons in the market, we should not only point to Ethereum or create FUDS that has no basis.
Eth is still the best investment the market is having a hard time not Ethereum.

Not only ETH, so is other altcoins. Some suffers more downfall. Eth management is stable, it just happened that bitcoin, a major cryptocurrency has also  lost its value that affects  all altcoins. There are still more good news about Eth and I am confident that it will bounce back once market recovers again.

Ethereum has been declining for a long time. And before that ethereum had increased day by day but could not penetrate the numbers expected to rise. And in the end ethereum fell back. Now, ETH is at $ 180 and that doesn't mean it has increased. So it is indeed difficult to expect ethereum to rise as before, we just wait until the altcoin season arrives.

Currently we only depend on ethereum 2.0, I just hope that Ethereum's dev team will make no mistakes in programming. and hope this upgrade time will take place exactly as they promised (January 3, 2020)
then we will actually see a lonely succulent growing tens of percent in a day.

The fall of Ethereum is gone along with the bitcoin price.
I think this Ethereum will go up a bit this last quarter of the year.
And i do believe that early next year this one will leap big in the market after the full experience of ETH 2.0

yes, this year is the worst for ethereum. but the current price is still better than the end of last year. at that time the price of ethereum even went below $100. now the price is eth $180, hopefully this will be a good start to start. I'm still sure the end of the year ethereum will be bullrun.

The current market price is under the $200 and I expect a more downtrend after reaching the high point of the recent correction mini-trend. The consequences of the Ethereum pricefall will likely to shake out the weak investors and the investing in the new altcoin projects will decrease gradually. This year is not great in terms of finding reliable projects and the bear trend on the price of the Ethereum gave an excuse to both crypto projects and the big crypto investors AKA whales.

I personally take it as an advantage and planning to invest in ETH this alt is a true fighter and bounce back very soon. Believe me we can make some huge profit In some quick time as we are nearing to the last quarter of this year, also not only ETH is suffering the entire alts are struggling to show some positive changes.

If anything, now is not the time to give up on the Ethereum. Ethereum has proven itself over the years, and it has shown that it is a pretty good coin, and now that the prices are experiencing a fall, it cannot be overemphasized that this is the perfect time to stack up your wallets. It is going to experience some spike up again soon, and you do not want to regret not stacking your wallets, so buy as much as you can now.

It needs to be recognized that this year altcoin has experienced a significant decline despite several attempts to rise. everyone's hope is that the return will improve for the price of altcoin on the market, and hope that crypto will soon improve so that ICO will reappear and the ethereum platform will be reused.

It really is having a hard time this year. But to make it clear, most of the cryptos are suffering from the downfall at this moment. Who suffers the most are investors who has no choice but to keep on holding despite of the negative scenario that we are currently witnessing. To sum it up, the market still is volatile in nature and highly unpredictable, so there would always be a chance for changes which could either be positive or negative. The best thing to do is to wait for that change to occur.

I think ETH is in good position now and will soon recover as well. Once altcoin season comes up, ETH will face another new ATH certainly with the latest update version ETH 2.0 which will force a lot of users to HOLD coin for staking purpose.

For me eth price this year is really unstable but i am confident that eth will bounceback more stonger and i believe that it has a chance that eth will rise again this year and before that happen we should now buy more  and hold it for long term.

The bullrun started a few's days ago, ethereum pumped to $219 last week after gaining some momentum and volatility but the the bullish run had subsides a bit and down to $175, the weekly time frame indicates the ethereum had hit a support at $168 and holds indicating a gradual push upward just as you rightly said before the end of the year ethereum will returns to its bullish run hence this is the appropriate time to buy and hodl.

All altcoins are falling in price, not just Ethereum. The whole market is tied to Bitcoin. Talking about some 10-15% drops in Ethereum seems to me not essential. While Ethereum, like all altcoins, is tied to the dynamics of Bitcoin, they will follow this course, then up and down. Although the last year, the trend is more and more downward, especially relatively paired with Bitcoin. Let's see what the coming update of Ethereum will bring.
By the way, last year Ethereum was in a much worse condition than nowm with lowest price 86$.

That is definitely a problem for ethereum and yet it is still the second most popular coin in the market, so there is still hope, despite its bad performance no other coin can surpass it, it is true that during some days Ripple went from third place to second place but that did not lasted, so despite its problems ethereum can still give huge profits but the developers need to do whatever they can to improve the situation but if they decide not to then ethereum could be surpassed by other coins in a few years.

Ethereum has experienced quite a fall this year. But then again, we have experienced a little spike in the price in the last couple of months. Ethereum is not the only coin suffering in the market right now, or experiencing a fall in price. The market has been generally unfriendly this season. However this is not a reason to be scared or give up, rather to buy more coins and stock them up for the bull run.

ETH's downfall does not mean it will not go back up. ETH will always remain as the second biggest asset in cryptocurrency market. Neo, Stellar, BNB etc. would not be able to pass it I am sure. What I expect from 2020 is an increase in Ethereum and therefore in alts as well. Ethereums increase means the start of bull season. I am waiting patiently.

I really like the down of the Ethereum price.
it saves a lot of money on my side. yeah i bought some ETH before the full nodes of ETH 2.0 starts.
I am trying  to have more than 32 ETH now.

What we see in the current market situation is that the decline is happening for all coins including bitcoin, and in my opinion the fall in Ethereum is still in a very good price situation compared to a few months ago and I believe Ethereum will increase again in 2020 and it will happening in a few more months.
The market is always manipulating prices and we must be patient with the current market situation, in the current situation holding it is the right choice and don't panic so as not to make mistakes.

You are very optimistic for the future of this project. One of those good attitude inside this market is having a positive insight with every coin that you are going to support, knows your limitations and understand how the project will do. If you have a good glimpse of every possibilities, you will confidently invest no matter what situations brings around the market. As long as you have your target plans and you set your goals not to do anything until it reached your preferred outcome.

Watching how to treat this fall !?
Indeed, for long-term foreign investors it’s just a small step to the bottom, because a really strong drop was from 1400 to 80 :)

Due to the fact that investors before in 2017 are placing their assets to eth blockchain's cryptocurrencies, right now, you are somehow correct but Let us not forget that cryptocurrency is very dynamic, there's still room for the price increase, lets think about trading, even though there are no projects which can be considered profitable, there are trading sites or exchanges where the market price is built.

we wait for the situation to come, but not anytime soon. The ETH moved badly this year actually after a slight increase slowly the trend became dominant down. to find profits is difficult, so investing long-term is a choice that will be taken after the decline occurs.

last year the price of bitcoin dropped to $ 80, and it was very bad. So, the current decline in ethereum prices is still quite good compared to 2018. However, despite saying like that, the predictions out there do not favor ethereum. like one of the news in the cointelegraph (https://cointelegraph.com/news/tone-vays-says-ethereum-is-useless-and-bitcoin-might-moon-in-2023), said that Tone Vays, a former trader on wall street believes that ethereum is useless, and sided with bitcoin. moreover there are still other news that does not support ethereum.
I do not panic about it, but I will only continue to pay attention to the information available because now I am also holding some ethereum.

ETH is tradeble to all coins! it is very important condition, thats why I am sure at 100% that it will cost more than 500%, need to invite more people and investors for this aim

It seems to me that Ethereum will show good growth. I am sure that Vitaly Buterin will solve the problems with liquidity and large amounts through the PoS strategy.

In short after the Bearish market at the end of 2018 yesterday All coin prices fell dramatically, especially ETH, almost more than half the price was lost and until now the market has not recovered. No one knows when ETH could be like it used to be but surely I still believe ETH has great potential in the future.

The downfall wasn't so peculiar to Ethereum but the entire market. The experience we have hears from the year 2018 was horrible but the entire market was down unimaginable. We still remembered what happened to Bitcoin, it price fell down before the price started growing up. We should all understand the volatility of the cryptocurrency market in general to stop criticising the downfall of the cryptocurrency.

All altcoins went down to the drain before we where able to see a positive move from them recently. Ethereum has a prospect and case use, so, nothing to worry about because it price will defiantly grow up again, let us just hold and wait for the season to  come. The proposed updates will fast forward the price of altcoins.

ethereum price declines are still reasonable because BTC is also experiencing a decline, so it's not a dump or bad thing as you say, and also I think the meeting in osaka will give good news for ethereum, even though it's only a temporary price increase.
I think the thing that most determines the price of ups and downs of ETH is from BTC.



I don't think it will have a big effect on the price of ETH.

ETH have it's sole purpose to work along from this industry, the downfall is part of the repeated cycle inside the market it will be a good test for people who fully support this crypto currency. There's a need of strong understanding not to fall with current pump and dump behavior. Focus on the long term success to avoid rushing when short falls happen.

This is sad, because I am watching ETH falling from 1400 USD per coin to 85 USD during 2018. Such things are pretty pessimistic and I believe ETH 2.0 will make things better, but we would need to wait for update to be released in early 2020.

Yes you're right and I think not only the Ethereum is suffering from downfall but bitcoin and the other coins as well. Maybe due to the lack of demand and there are so many supplies but no worries since it is only temporary and soon the prices will rise up again so all we need to do is to wait patiently. Ethereum has a good blockchain use and most like the newly growth IEO project was based on Ethereum and I think this will bring a massive adaption.

my advice you don't look sad, you should be happy when prices fall because you can buy more ethereum at cheap prices, this is also normal because cryptocurrency price movements only go up and down so at least you should be able to take advantage of fluctuations like this moment to look for profit.

Indeed, the market of ico companies very much undermined the credibility of Ethereum and very badly the whole situation with fraud affected not only the popularity of Ethereum, but also its capitalization and price.  I completely agree with your opinion that IEO companies will give a new impetus to more stable development of ethereum, since new IEO projects are at least not scammers.  I believe that a very good indicator today is that Ethereum is not only a platform for smart smart contracts, but also a coin for use as a means of payment.

Eth already saw the downtrend in the market so we can see eth positive growth 300 dollars and the next cycle we can expect 700 dollars growth

That is the difference between the experienced and the inexperienced one. People who have seen ethereum rising and gaining strength from that fall will never ever doubt its ability to increase its worth. Only those coins that have passed such exams are ruling the market and no other coin has been able to take their place even after many years. Downfalls are just to make coins better in many ways.

The price of ETH this year has really been unpredictable. Just as when everything is going on well and all odds are in favor of rise in price, the price will just fall by surprise. Its really a hard time for ETH. This is the time it really needs the community's support

Actually, not positive thinking but thoughtful actions will safe eth ;) apart from that, I see no reason to worry about this project.

I am not that fun with any website as source of information as it will only create a crack to your target investment to make. Some information's are useful and some information's are useless which are made just to create a fud.

Yes eth goes below 160$ but it doesn't mean that it will be unsafe for ethereum already. If you have followed eth, it's bottom is like 80$ and in the reach to 350$ this year so increase is more than x4 and now it starts to fall. Once the price goes down, it is the best part to buy Eth and store them for a long term type of investment so you can make a good profit once the price will bounce back again.

I am so sad with ETH price right now under $200, how come eth have raised above $1500 and now lower below $200, what going on with ETH? How Vitalik want to bring ETH back to price above $1000 and make may investor take back their profit because have two years without get anything with ETH price still down.

Hopefully next year. Its unfortunate that it happened, but not only ETH, so is the altcoins and even bitcoin. But I am still hopeful and optimistic  that it will recover soon. Not a big recovery but slowly, until the next bull run. Lets just support and believe, our little effort will collectively help this project.

i think it's not only ethereum that experienced a downfall this year.
take a look at other coins as well, this year all coins have experienced a downfall some of which are almost lost on the market.

we don't need to panic, if we panic it can get even worse. try to stay calm, it's hard to believe but i'm sure ethereum will pump again.

True, that the ETH decline was very sharp in 2018-2019, but that does not mean the worst value in history, we know that ETH was once worth $ 20, anyways in 2017-2018 ETH had a high increase up to $ 900, because of fluctuations in which they could not maintain the value of the decline is also very sharp, destruction is a very thing that could have happened to all cryptocurrency.

It doesn't surprises me a lot to see the Ether prices down by so much. The network scalability and security issues with Ethereum were noticed by the users long time back and they had requested Vitalik and his team to take care of them. But the Ethereum developers were busy elsewhere. Now when it is too late, they are panicking over it. This is what makes Bitcoin different from all these altcoins. I used to think that Ethereum was different from the other shitcoins. But with every passing day it is becoming clear that Ethereum is just another shitcoin which is good only for pump and dump, rather than any real usage. There is still time remaining for the developers to fix the bugs and issues. But if they remain complacent, then no one would be able to save Ether. 

Almost coins has dropped this year and this Eth is not yet showing a progress about the price.We don't know when it can recoup but most of the holders of Eth is really waiting for the price to goes up. I’m not into an awe about the price because I still have a hope on this coin to increase hopefully next year.

One of the most reason of downfall was panic, There is a lot of people did. Like me, I was panicked when I am new on crypto but we need to be believe in this fact. So only way is hold and don't watching the price everyday that will cause panic. In some point, People are always demand that they need to take profit everyday but they can't always check the situation on the market.

This depends on their strategy, if they understand that the entire altcoins market are affected, they would not panic, but if they don't they might dump this coin to cut loses. But for me, I think it's not wise to dump when ETH is already very cheap now as we've seen it pump before many times and I think it's still capable of doing the same in the long run.

one thing I'm confident, this coin will recover in time.

You're right dude, you got the exact idea! Weak investors are getting agitated when they see that the value of their coin decreases but you can't blame them because it's a really  terrifying experience. However, in all cases you must be strong and don't let emotions dictate your actions. Just always remember that 2 btc, for example, will remain 2 btc whatever trend our market had right now. It remains the same, right? Change your perspective, learn to look on the number and not on the equivalent value on fiat.

Little help from entire community those who still believing to hold this coin, It can generate small rise since the market will only have buy demands while sell will be slowly being hold. ETH still have a good future development ahead, though we are experiencing bouncing back and forth with no clear directions to offer but sooner it will again regain the position and the last high that this coin has been reached. Keep holding if you are not in need that much.

This year starting point was good for all the crypto enthusiasts but after that we have seen a major downstream in all the coins and ETH is one of them. The prices have drastically gone down and stands below $200 at current. It may take some time for it to surge again so have patience and be careful if you want to invest as the prices are low.

The downfall was much sharper. I just checked Coinmarketcap. It says that the ATH price for Ethereum was $1,424 per coin, which was achieved on January 14th, 2018. Less than one year after the ATH, Ethereum reached a low of $84 per coin by December 15th, 2018. That represents a decline of -94.1%, or 17x. Many of the other alts went down by 50x and some even became worthless, but what happened to Ethereum was significant because it was always regarded (and still being regarded) as the king of the altcoins.

If seems you are right but. As I can see.. Ethereum price might drop deep but the price can't be predicted.
Ethereum price moves whenever it wants and the best is to always be vigilant about the price if one is a trader

ETH not good price right now with lower price under $200, what have we do with buy eth at higher price last three months and now have for waiting when ETH back to higher price again? will ETH have higher price again above $1K and could take much profit with ETH because ETH is the best payment platform.

I see nothing wrong with the price of Ethereum. Against the background of general market fluctuations, it is holding normally. If there is a recovery in the cryptocurrency market, then Ether will still show a good price.

Now that the price of etherium has gone down, but I still have faith that the price will be high again, maybe now there are more problems with some projects that on average still rely on exchanges using etherium, maybe due to the many scam projects that have a bad impact on etherium, we hope that in the future everything will return to normal.

The general market is bearish and expecting good growth from the promising coins is a selfish idea. The ETH 2.0 can change the crypto ecosystem entirely but the uptrend on the crypto prices will accelerate these expectations if it happens before the planned launch event. The downfall gives a chance for late investors to invest in Ethereum one more time but the inexperienced investors still wait for the prices below the $100 like in the last market crash.

Though it will take a lot of time before it recovers, it is worth the wait for it to increase while saving our invested ethereum, we all know that ethereum is a good investment and it already prove itself a lot of times that ethereum will give you a profit. We all need to do right now is to wait and invest more if applicable to increase our possible return of investment.

And what did you want after such a colossal boom. It is natural that he fell. But it did not disappear, actually it has already pumped significantly. The most important thing is that ethereum survived this fall, it is still number one altcoin with great future.

Not exactly, most investors have been really unfriendly to the idea of investing in altcoins but they have been more than happy to invest in bitcoin, many are expecting that this changes and they are waiting for the altcoin season but I doubt it will happen during the next months since most altcoins are not doing anything to get the confidence of investors back, if anything things are even worse, as soon as the market began to recover many scammers tried their old tricks to get money by releasing icos but fortunately many are now smart enough to not give them money anymore.

I disagree with this , as far as i know this year is better than before, where last few years the value of eth
is so little, like 20 usd so it means that this year is still better if you will see on the graph,
at the same time crypto is so volatile, so we can't blame anything aside ourselves, for putting our money in this
everything happens for a reason so just hold your token and wait for a pump in a coming year it will happen for sure

panic sell is indeed a difficult problem to deal with because it can happen to everyone, but keep in mind that panic sell occurs because people do not know to analyze ways to stop losing because this way I think is good enough to reduce panic sell that can it just happens to an investor or trader

all because the price of bitcoin has continued to rise in recent months, so the dominance of altcoin has fallen while the dominance of bitcoin has risen by 70%,
and that has an impact on ethereum, see ethereum-btc prices are currently very cheap, only 0.02 btc

For me it is not the worst year for the ethereum but it is a good opportunity because yes the value is very low than before but if you think because the value is low so you have a chance to get more profit in the future and Im really sure that in 2020 also ethereum will become high again and become higher than the highest value of what it reach before so better to invest more ether now instead of buying other coins.

Ethereum seems now very promising, instead of other altcoins Ethereum grows 5-7% a day in a row. But the question is why? What is happening in the background? The news will come after big investors take their profits.  :'(

ETH look raised for last night and still higher today, don't worry if you buy ether with higher price because ether is stable coin back to higher price, now with bitcoin raise too most stronger reason for ether take moment with bitcoin to raise on higher price, just waiting with your chance and moment last 2017 where ether on the top price.

Just because eth is dumping it doesn't mean that it is uselss now. I am sure that eth is the best dapp ecosystem until now, though binance chain, eos, trx are coping up with. Only few progress has been made this year for eth network but their roadmap still far from total completion, people are just in hurry to see eth pump badly. If you want to see profit, and do trade not pressuring a goos project just because you dont havw much profit.

I personally do not hesitate to have Ethereum because so far the movement of Ethereum is stable and does not decrease much compared to other Altcoins, and in my opinion Ethereum will move gradually to reach the highest price, although it is slow but promising.
and what I saw in the Ethereum market started to rise and now it reaches around $ 190 more, and hopefully it will continue to increase because Ethereum is the best coin after bitcoin and always gives a good price to its users.

There is a lot of competitors in the market right now but the majority of platforms are still using ethereum tokenization as the main tokenization asset. Binance is the only serious competitor in the tokenization field.  Pump and dump scheme is a usual thing in the crypto. A lot of dapps are still running in ethereum platforms.
Those are speculating bad about ethereum never try to do a proper analyzation to the ethereum fundamental. 

As expected ethereum will become more consistent compared for what's happening from the previous price history. That was very hard and in fact other holders started to panic. Trading volumes on different exchanges declined, but it doesn't stop those people who still trusted ethereum. The fall is not the end of every struggles, rather it's another good future that brings hope to hopeless.

Thought there is a decline in trading volume but we still have a decent volume until now.
ETH with over $9 billion 24 hours trading volume  - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets , is 2nd to the highest volume, of course BTC will maintain the number 1 spot since  it's the most dominant coin but ETH holds a major part in the entire market.

Talking about Altcoin ethereum I do not doubt the potential that Altcoin has, although ethreum can be said to experience a price fall in 2018 until 2019 but I am still convinced that Ethereum can increase its price back to the price of $ 200 before the end of this year. we all wish the best for the development of ethereum prices again.

It is not just ethereum but other top altcoins also experienced a dip since last year after the bull run, just take this opportunity to add more coins on your portfolio because i know that up trend will soon to happen anytime now. also the team is working hard for a better development of ethereum blockchain so there is no need to panic and calm yourself during this bear market.

not just eth, every cryptos in the market experienced downfall like LTC, BNB and etc., but now it's nice to see that ethereum is recovering, seems it's a good sign that ethereum will pump this year if bitcoin reaching up again at $10,000, I guess.

Actually there are a lot of opportunities that we can get from the crashed price in ETH,  I won a lot of trades by using bounce play setup where I used Fibonacci retracement as tool.

Ethereum is better ever before surely,but the price need to correct to normal due to ICO bubble.

The most promising things happening on ethereum now are more news Dapps,such as games(cryptokitties,GodUnchained), DeFi (compound,MakerDAO,more than 500M us dollars involved), and ETH2.0(PoS,scalability),which seems both get nice results.

The programmable feature of Ethereum is creating more new opportunities,such as Decentralized identity,DAO,many news app.

Really excited to see new tech and business happening on it,for me I will hold to see what's next.

Well maybe if these ICOs weren't either scams or attempting to do unnecessary things, Eth might be doing better.  As it is, most ideas devs come up with are useless at best.

Ethereum is still a great coin, tho.  I don't think its best days are behind it at all, and I believe the altcoin market is just in a slump.  It's easy to predict doom and gloom when things aren't going well for alts, but this is a state of affairs we've seen many times before in the last 5-6 years.  There are plenty of things that can be done on the Eth platform, so don't give up hope.

No one is denying the fact that ETH is a great coin. But they have ignored the issues for too long. Scalability issues were a concern for more than a year now and Vitalik Buterin and his sidekicks refused to act. Now they are talking about it, when the transaction fee has already climbed to a level that may of the users are finding uncomfortable.

ETH was first listed in 2015 (that was when the ICO came out). The popularity peaked in 2017, when the ICO craze was at the zenith. Back then, the major advantages with ETH was the very quick confirmation time (less than a minute) and the very low transaction fee (often less than one cent). But the situation has changed drastically now. From what I have found, the confirmations are taking up to 10 minutes now.

I myself analyze ethereum using Time Frame 1 Day to be able to see the potential of ethereum this year to be able to reach the point of 300 $ Quite difficult. ethereum must experience continuous increases without significant decreases. of course this is quite difficult if we see there is only 2 Months before 2020

This is the year of worst and severe worst case for the Ethereum as it has already seen the biggest down fall to reach the price of $130. But now it has recovered since 5 months and also it was reached to $320 in last two weeks. So, only holding of this coin is the only suggestion because almost all of the big giant facing this market scenario.

After reaching a peak of $1400, Ethereum only dropped and now the value of the coin is around $170 to $200 during the last few months. This is really bad because if the coin fails to rise well, a lot of investors will tend to sell more and will cause the price of ETH to drop to $100 at any time. Now is a bad time to invest but if you choose this coin as a long-term investment, consider it carefully.

I personally sold all ETH when the coin reached $300 and would never return to investing again because ETH is no longer a potential coin.

There is a reset that happened where the ETH goes to sideways and goes back in bear market. There are traders who says do not trade in bear market and I do not agree to that because there are many opportunities in a bear market.

This year was not that bad, 2018 was a terrible year for all coins in the market including ethereum and while 2019 is not over if things remain the same then this year will be disappointing, could this change during 2020? Absolutely but many are giving up and abandoning the market and I am sorry for them because they are leaving the market just when we are getting closer to the recovery they were waiting for, but while I believe a recovery is coming I do not believe it will be as big as some may imagine.

The entire market was down during 2019 :( so ETH was no exception also their smart contracts wasn't so great in this year as we saw so many ICO's failed with their ERC-20 based token. Besides this , 2018 was awful as well for cryptocurrencies and again ETH was no exception on this so just because an articles published something to harm ETH doesn't mean they had any fault ...bear market had no mercy on coins so lets hope 2020 will bring some good news and huge green candles.

yes, this year is indeed bad and far from the big expectations, but even though this year still does not provide the best, at least the recovery has occurred in the first two quarters of this year, although in the end the bear market is still very strong and not easy to resist. there is no big hope this year after the bears take back market dominance and will fully hope 2020 will be the year and season for crypto to recover more strongly

Looking raise since 24 hours for ethereum, still lower price I think have have keep hold and never panic to sell ethereum on lower price, always moment for ethereum back to higher price when altcoin season come, now you can invest money with ethereum where price still under $200, you get chance with ethereum still lower price because next time I think ethereum back above $500.

Personally I think the reason why ethereum is facing this drop in its market value is due to the fact that it does not have a fixed amount of coins which will be generated. Once the supply rate is higher than its demand rate, the market value is definitely gonna drop. If this continues, ethereum is likely to drop further down than this.

I feel this is a little bit exaggerated, because etherum hasn’t have it sweet or cool since the initial dump over a year ago.

I do not think it’s the deepest price yet; if care is not taken, It could go further down

If we were to look for its price from the previous days, we can see that its price really decreased, but its price quickly recover from that fall, we can see that its price is slowly increasing and it might be a good sign, should hold until its price will increase and go back again even above $200.

I just can't do but wonder if we can have a year like that of 2017 anytime soon. There hasn't been any reasonable or long term bull run since and this isn't affecting only ethereum but all the coins.

The fact is bitcoin feels outdated to me in terms of its features and ETH on the other hand has its smart contract, that is a big difference , ETH will find its way up soon and now i think its a good time to buy before the next ETH 2.0 upgrade which i feel will introduce better features we never seen coming, its the king of all altcoins

This is the reality, Tokens and other coins are based on demand and the quality of their product. So the demand will drop and prices will fall, And we can't avoid it especially as there are also crypto whales that make fuds to scare the newbie into trading and force them to sell, Here they will have the opportunity to buy at a cheap price and will be sold again at a price increase.

I look at the charts today and I think that this year we will see prices even lower at ETH. Ethereum's graphs are very weak right now. this project has a great future but it will not come this year. it's my opinion

although now ethereum prices are downfall in this year but I am still very optimistic and believe that ethereum prices will rise again in the near future.. because in my opinion Ethereum is a trusted platform and is used by all cryptocurency users in the world.. and there is still a big chance for ethereum to find its highest price again in the near future.. so don't panic too much in seeing the current condition of the cryptocurency market.

This is an exaggeration to me. Just to be fair with Ethereum, almost all coins are still down -90% from their all time high as the market is still in the bearish trend. And Ethereum being down has a negative effect to projects as well, investors tend to shun away, although there's a new business model IEO, but still it is not enough to bring back the confidence in the altcoin market. And the other thing is that this is the first time we have seen this bearish trend in the altcoin market because the last down ward trend wasn't that significant because ICO projects are still fairly young, it just boomed in 2017. So for everyone, this is what we call baptism of fire, so the next time it will occur, it will not surprise everyone.

Had it been ethereum was another coin, the rare at which it was battered and the resultant effect of it's low interest at some points might have led to its death. It will amaze you to know that ETH is one of the strongest coins in the crypto space with good potential. The developments done on it for years, is able yo continually make it relevant and enhance its growth, despite all falls.

I tbink its pretty common in the market nowadays not just Ethereum but most of all top coins are experiencing decline of its price i think the market correction is not yet over.

So it is the best time to buy Ethereum now as the price is good for the investment and those people will be very lucky in future because looking at the market Ethereum is the second coin after Bitcoin, so it means that still Ethereum is much better than other coins in the market, and no one knows about the price prediction of Ethereum as crypto always surprises the people about price, may be the demand become high and it recover soon.

I could write a while epistle about the price movement of ethereum since December 2017, I am a huge fan of ethereum and I have been holding ethereum since the price was around $600 up till now, I don't really care about the price movement though, to me it's a love thing, I love the ethereum blockchain and I just hold the coin because I believe in it.

And it keeps falling again, there's a major drop happening today, ETH now valued at $160 only as the top coins are dropping hard.
BTC continue to fall at below $7500 and of course this results to a big dump of the altcoins as well.
With this to continue to happen, we might see the another worst price of ETH again which is below $100 by the end of the year.

The best price to buy ether was at the end of last year. Then it cost $ 80. Those who bought it then are actually the big lucky ones. In any case, now is also a good time to invest, over time, eth  will show growth, that's for sure.

That is why I keep holding my Ethereum and patiently wait for its recovery.
People have already know its potentiality but it sometime we can't blame them for pushing themselves into selling their ETH for they are also in need of money even though they suffer losses. That is too difficult to have that situation but that is the reality in some members here.

Yes, I managed to buy some ether at such a good price. I'm one of the lucky ones. And I also continue to invest in it now.

The price of Ethereum has continued to fall, I was shocked to notice the most recent drop at $160. With the year coming to an end, I feel we haven't had the last drop yet.

Ethereum continues to perform badly unlike how most holders expect to happen when bitcoin continues to dominate. The unsuccessful turnout of most ICO/IEO projects have contributed to the recent dumping of ethereum. Since the last major dump at the later end of September, there has not been any significant rise in price and this is really bad for short term holders of ethereum.

Your expectations are too high, 2017 was a very special year and while I do not have doubts something similar will happen in the future we should not expect every single year to be like that, this year has been fairly positive for many cryptocurrencies, it is true bitcoin monopolized most of those profits but the rest of the coins performed adequately and if someone was unable to get profits in this market then that's on them and not on this market.

Comparing the performance of ETH in 2019 to 2018, I will vouch for the performance of ETH in 2019. In 2018 during the long bear market era, ETH experienced its deepest downturn price of $80. 2019 has been good to ETH although ETH has not yet recovered to even 50% of its all time high price mark.

Now ETH $160 and will back with lower price under $100, many investor do not understand why ETH could dump very lower price? bitcoin dominance have less with lower price altcoin keep following bitcoin trend become lower price too, now we still do not know how bitcoin and altcoin price next week or new years on 2020, become extreme dump or back with higher price.

Such run might be a good bounce coming from the deepest fall, this year's movements make some investors to hold on and believe that there's
always a good bounce when you are holding solid project like ETH. Though there's no assurance that because of this market downfall again, ETH can
hold on and not to lose more value, Bitcoin still suffering with heavy fall since yesterday and most of the alts are also experiencing the same.
It's a very tough week for crypto industry, observe and do deeper assessment,  analyzing the next market movement is very important.

I am beginning to question myself if ethereum is ever going to recover, it is very easy to think it will and I still believe it will but the results have been so poor compared to what bitcoin has done during this year that I am beginning to lose hope, bitcoin is once again going up in price and while ethereum is doing the same its growth is nothing compared to what bitcoin is experiencing and this is despite all the improvements that the developers are making to ethereum.

Please don't fall into the dark side mate... Yes,  this year wasn't a satisfying moment for Ethereum and everyone really disappointed because we are expecting too much for this coin.  And to know that fact that we are still in volatile market and not really we have a huge market resistance, we could still be thinking that Eth will still at low. But ain't really makes me think that it will goes down deeper,  and we'd rather to keep positive and look for its potentiality.

Ethereum may be showing us an unsatisfying result this year, but we should consider it as a good part since we can invest as much as we can.
Do not feel disappointed, we should expect that this will take more time before it increases its price but it is sure to come at the right time.

Comparison can always give you skewed stats. It is true that the ETH prices have fallen by almost 95% from the ATH prices. But what we are forgetting here is the fact that ETH had risen by more than 100x during 2017, when the ICO craze was at its peak. So when compared to the prices that we had in 2016, Ethereum is still up by more than 2,000%. I don't want to comment on the future prices, but if ETH could move ahead without support from the ICOs and the IEOs, then it will be good for it as a currency.

I think we should not expect on Ethereum 2.0 that will be held in upcoming January 2020 because ETH is really in a bad condition that it could continue it's downfall, like what we have experienced in the year of 2018. But we all hope that ETH could regain it's price back starting in the year of 2020, so we could get back all of our losses.

You think that Ethereum is really bad, look into the market very well and see how other great project has really down seriously and I think that the reason why we are just keeping an eye on Ethereum is because we really see it as the largest altcoins, and the most popular altcoin in the market, but we need to know that everyone do have their own challenging time, and we may have forgotten too that there was a time that bitcoin had this challenge that people wonder if bitcoin was ever going to make any recovery, but we can see how things turned for bitcoin and its investors since early this year.

Let us just assume that this year is for bitcoin, and next year will be for the altcoins which Ethereum will surely be among the altcoins that will take a very good lead, so we should not just give up on Ethereum yet.

Hopefully that would happen, we need to remain optimistic as its been 2 years already that altcoins are still struggling.
ETH is down but there's more altcoins that are down, good thing with ETH is that its still holding the number 2 spot in the market which makes it number 1 in the altcoins section.

Trading volume of ETH is still good, the biggest compared to any altcoins,  its closest rival before was XRP but xpr only has over 1 billion usd of daily trading volume which is only over 10% of ETH trading volume.

Looks like You are a big fan of Ethereum blockchain. Like Bitcoin transaction is slow than any others coin but people love Bitcoin. I'm using Ethereum blockchain and I have no problem in transactions. Ethereum 2.0 news is coming every day by rumors and probably we can get next year.

If you still hold some ETH, then I think it is better for you to keep hold your ETH until the price recovers, but if you have a lot of free time maybe you can use your ETH For daily trading. Do not hesitate with ETH prices falling in this year because we will see that next year ETH prices will rise again.

many investors are scared and feel less interested in investing now because the state of crypto or altcoin has decreased if investors before starting investment understand and understand all the nature and risks of investing with altcoin coins or crypto currencies and investors will not feel so scared

I agree with that. Why not use your Ethereum for trading because it will help you to make the amount of your ethereum bigger than before and it will also increase the fiat value of your holdings. It is not good to just sit back and hold your cryptocurrency because there are ways that you can try to increase your holdings and earn more profit once the price recovers.

Base on the chart. Etherium decreases by 40% as of chart in Binance in eth/btc pair. I would rather advice to hodl your eth as long as you can, it is not yet the best time to spend eth or to sell eth, wait for it to recovers, eth is too low now although circulating supply is big dont spend now, but instead buy more of it as much as you have the money, this is the right time to buy.

I still don't understand why people tend to focus solely on the price of Ethereum and little attention is paid to the tech of the contributions that Ethereum has made to the advancement of Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology, I know most people here are all about the money, but we should endavour to also it's the good with the bad, it's true that ethereum has seen the worst crash in 2019, going as low as $80 at a time so this new low is even a high when compared to what we have seen in the past.

In my own opinion, the whole market is really experiencing the deepest downfall not only this year but starting last year until now. Because if we remember when bitcoin reaches twenty thousand dollars in price, it is actually a golden era in which almost all of the projects being released becomes successful. Hence, even if we experience such downfall we should still believe that every cryptocurrency will rise up again if we still HOLD and have patience in every token that we are holding, not only that, we should have courage and keep on believing that crypto will not die. Volatility of the cryptocurrency is their nature. It is changing time by time. So downfall is normal. We should have faith in it.

I expect that you are right because ethereum has been in a terrible shape for so long that many people are beginning to lose their faith in ethereum, and even if there is no doubt about which coin is the best in the market and it has been showing this during the whole year, at the same time we need a strong altcoin and the best candidate for that position is ethereum and despite being the second coin in terms of its market cap in the market its growth during this year has been ridiculous.
