I agree, Cryptokitties has shown that it cannot cope with the high level of volume without major issues so I think this will at least refocus their attention on improving the network.

It will finish around $20,000 I always thought $15,000 but this has been passed already, may $20,000 is asking a bit much with only a couple of weeks to go but If the futures taken into account, maybe new money and attention will push it back up.

Maybe it will, maybe it wont nobody knows but I think the price has a good bit further to go before it starts to drop a significant amount.

Definitely $20,000 is looking good for the end of the year, bitcoin already would have helped out a lot of people that would otherwise have no way to make serious money, especially those that were involved in bitcoin back when it was just starting, I would like to think that many ordinary people would have become rich due to bitcoin.

I would and have learned from what happened and next time try not to do the same thing again, for me it was panic selling, lesson has been learned which took some amount of time but I think I am almost there.

You take your ETH and buy some kitties and sell them on the market after pimping them out lol I wouldn't sell my ETH to be fair just in case, I don't want to be the one who sells and then misses out which has happened before.

If I didn't get it back by now the I wouldn't have needed it, it depends on the friend really and what type of friend they were, but I wouod definitely say to them hey remwmber that 0.1.....?

Another thing to do is take your personal situation into account, do you need to cash out, are you sacrificing anything by holding, should you maybe take some profit and leave the rest, these are important things to consider also.

I think Iota might go a lot higher if their trial with Microsoft and Samsung works out, whether it will maintain a higher price is another question.

Mycelium also was set at $9 for a $100 transfer which seems crazy, you can adjust it in certain wallets or exchanges but then you would be waiting forever, I have some receiving for the past 16 hours as someone must not have liked to pay the higher fee, really frustrating.

I think people should seriously start thinking about how they will leave their bitcoin and crypto to their family if anything happened to them, in the same way one would leave a will, perhaps leaving the private key within the will might work?

It would be great if it would get to $50,000 by January, it will keep the attention and momentum it has had recently, I wonder how many strong hands will continue to hold when it gets to that level.

It has gone absolutely crazy this week, maybe it getting added to futures market on Sunday has a part in it but not sure if it can go much higher without a dip.

We don't really need any fork of bitcoin unless something goes really wrong, all these forks have just been a way for people to ride the bitcoin wave and make a quick buck, there are three or four this month none of which will be around next year.

Had a look and have to say kind of addicted now to breeding these cats and trying to get the right trait, the rarer the better
This is a good test for the network and shows that it cannot cope with this level of transactions, hopefully this will prompt the next generation of ETH.

The only thing that bugs me about bitcoin is the way they are mined, I would like to think that Satoshi when putting this together had the thought that everyone could mine bitcoin and not just a few with deep pockets.

I think the banks are annoyed because bitcoin shows that we could survivr without banks and this scares them, they will need to enter into this space and drastically change the way they work in the next couple of years or they will have serious trouble keeping afloat.

I think it shows more that companies that hold people's bitcoin need to ensure that they are taking the right security measures, it baffles me how a company of this size and good reputation was able to be hacked and lost 4,000 + bitcoin, something is amiss.

$15,000 was always my estimate for the end of the year and it looks like we will get there if not  pass that completely and hit the $20,000.

You will to go through some verification at some point to withdraw your funds so why not just do it now unless you want to withdraw tiny amounts each day.

If you are looking for just one coin then maybe Litecoin would suit you.

There is a lot of congestion and the Cryptokittens game has a lot to do with it but we shouldn't blame Cryptokittens for using Ethereum as it was intended to be used.

Fair enough these are cats that are being traded but it runs along the same principle as anything of value and the ownership being transferred from person to person, this is the first time something like this has been testing the network and so far the network is struggling, imagine if there were just a couple of similar trading games or auctions happening, it would bring the network to a standstill.

If anything this should prompt a refocus on the ETH scaling situation.
