Of course Eth is going strong. not only is it a currency but a platform which can be built upon. Bitcoin is only a currency which can be traded. yes you can buy things with it but that is all.

Eth is vastly superior and will surpass bitcoin one day, i'm sure of it. not only in terms of market cap but also in terms of price. the only thngs companies can do with bitcoin is accept it as payment. Ethereum can be built upon, tokens can be created which can be used as currencies of for voting. the scalability of it is going to be huge.

already at present it can take a day to mine a tx on bitcoin whereas eth can complete a transaction in about 8 seconds. the upgrades will take it from 7-8 transactions a second to upward of 10k and eventually it will be quicker than visa. if you're not already holding eth then you need to get in on it very soon indeed before it smashes past $1000.

although this article is only from october, I can't take it seriously when they've got the Ethereum market cap completely wrong. it's now $46bn and last month was at a minimum of $29bn not the $4.46bn they stated

i'd say not in january, but at some point this year without a doubt.

Ethereum which in due course will supercede Bitcoin.

Yep, I agree with sylance I'm afraid.

I think in the end there will be a "world dollar". not necessarily the USD at all. People need something to relate crypto to. It's very difficult to imagine going to buy a can of coke for 0.00013452 Eth or whatever it's going to be. As humans, we like "whole" things. £1/$1/€1. You don't buy an eight of an apple or 0.12% of it. this will take some getting used to.

It may be that society really does become blade runner and we spend in "credits". but we'd still need to know the value. The problem I find is the volatility of it at present. Iy could mean that you can afford a full tank of diesel one day but not the next (as an, excuse the pun, crude example).

There will have to be one singular unit as a reference point, I believe.

exactly as vanderwaals said. all exchanges are open 24 hours, but it depends on the time in a specific territory. a lot of people miss drops and peaks because of this so have lost or made money. if you're looking at this in terms of when to invest, then you can always set price alerts. having said that price alerts are only possible on major coins like ETH, bitcoin, dash and litecoin. i dont know if any exchanges offer it on tokens as yet.

always make sure your wallet can accept a token before sending it. myetherwallet accepts pretty much all tokens and if the one you have isn't in the list, then you can add it and it will accept it, as long as it is an ERS20 compliant (ERC20) token.

i would say that in terms of eth, you could consider eth the foundations of a house. a token, would be what is built on top of it. you cannot have a token without eth, and eth underpins everything. tokens, can have many different functions, just like the parts built on top of the foundations, walls, windows etc
