Thanks to all replies!
Do I understand correctly, that other ETH projects are "buggy" for the same reason as DAO, and it's better to avoid any project based on "contracts"?
Hardfork will not change the situation, will it?
I'd suggest to not catch the falling knife. Watch from a distance and see what's left when the dust settles. 'Smart contracts' not ready for primetime. It's aparently very hard to code a secure contract on eth. They said something like 70% of all exisitng ones would be vulnerable and that's just the vectors they know.
Don't believe a word though. Make your own research in the topics because people in the forum are full of shit and many will lie to you to make you buy or sell or are just misinformed themselves.
Crypto can sometimes fall 99%, so be aware of potential downside risk even when it would come down 90% it could still have 90% further to go.
Currently it's very expensive.
Hardforks should be many expected said Vlad Zamfir - so it's actually officially a shitcoin with no relevance, at least in my book.
If i wanted in i'd patiently wait the dumps out. This could dump for months on end now. Likely dumps for 2 or 3 weeks at least, maybe much longer. Some people expect sub 1$
Make sure to do due dillegence and draw your own conclusions. Nobody of us has a crystal ball.
Personally i think the contract-hype is over for now, maybe i'm wrong but i'd be surprised if i was.
