I think that at the beginning we will not see large increases in Ethereum prices. However, if the fork will succeed and everything will work as the developers have planned, it will be a very solid basis for the Ethereum price to grow even x5 in the time of few months.

As we can see, what is happening on the cryptocurrency market now, is very boring. Unfortunately, but it seems to me that this is how the trade will look like during whole 2019. Investors are too scared of how fast and how much they can lose on trading in cryptocurrencies. It will take a long time before they return.

I think it is only a momentary price turbulances and soon after the hardfork, a stable growth will start. In my opinion, a much better solution than sales is to take a deep breath and wait for hardfork results.

Exactly. In my opinion, we can expect another downward wave, just after reaching around $6000. When the new bottom is reached, in the area of ​​$2700 we can expect further long-term increases, but this will not be a bull run yet. For bull run we will need to wait probably untill 2020.

It is true that the cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, but Ethereum's fall into the fourth or fifth position is absurd to me.
Ethereum hardfork will be in a moment, which will be a huge step not only for ETH, but for all altcoins. I'm sure that Ripple will not warm up the second place and Ethereum will be back there soon.

Often, bounty managers have red trust for very trivial reasons. There are also those who fully deserve a bad opinion.
I think that everyone should decide whom to trust. The most important thing is to check the entire project, including the bounty manager, before joining the campaign.
Remember that after the campaign is finished, leave opinions in trust section, to those who cheat, are lazy or just fail to be a manager - it will help to eliminate bad eggs from this basket.

Maybe that they are waiting for even greater price drops is not so crazy. See what happened to the Ethereum price in the last hours. Ethereum is again in the third position on the coinmarketcap. It is possible that the bottom has not yet been found and larger price drops will yet come.

Im sorry about your loss. If someone decides to keep a large amount of coins, he should also be able to manage them.
One way is to have a spreadsheet with a list of coins and update the information about them at least once a month.

A very nice investment basket and I wish that everything will goes as you plan. Unfortunately, with the baskets is one problem - the more eggs in it, the greater the risk that more will break. My point is that even if not all of the currencies in which you invest will hit the moon, you should still enjoy 50% or even 30% of success. Good luck!

I think that big players use information about ETF to manipulate the price. Just as you wrote, a positive decision can come tomorrow or never, so we should not considering it, wanting to invest in cryptocurrencies. The decision on the ETF is simply pure speculation.

For many investors (mainly those old school), changing such important decisions and dates may also mean poor preparation of the project and lack of professionalism of the dev team. If once they decided wrong about the start of sales, why the next attempt have to be successful? Most probably this decision can be wrong again.. right?

yep, i found this thread right in the moment when you post it here.. faster fingers

But we can look even deeper Here is first post of Satoshi on mailing list from December 2008

https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/bitcoin-list/?viewmonth=200812
(scroll down to the end of page)

I think that Themos from the beginning was admin of Bitcointalk. Satoshi is here as a founder.
In addition to the two you mentioned (Themos and Cyrus) - If I remember correctly, BadBear was also an admin before, but recently he is not very active here.

I do not know why you have such a bad opinion about Litecoin.
When it comes to its price and future, it's enough to look at historical charts compared to BTC
It looks like nothing will change and its price will go up with the price of Bitcoin.

We all believe in it! We waited the whole year 2018 until the bear market is over. I think the recent increases are a very good signal and price drops will finally end.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in a situation like yours. What you do, mainly will depend on the financial situation you are in. In your place (if you do not have to) I would keep and wait for better times.

We are all very tired of such long price drops. It seems to me that the new year gives a great chance to rebuild the entire cryptocurrency market. Let's hope that this will happen.

The current increases may only be temporary, but I also think that the Ethereum price will never fall to $50, I even think it will never fall below $100.

Surely, this is not the moment for the bull run. Let's hope that this is the end of the bear market and now prices will go up slowly. The Ethereum price will also grow, but unfortunately it is still heavily dependent on the BTC price. We have to wait for Bitcoin to start growing.

Very few users vote, I thought that this poll will be more popular. Although the answers are very diverse, it seems that Ethereum is on the lead. And in my opinion that's how the vote will end. ETH is a good choice.
