[ashfaq]

Hey guys ,
     I have been hearing a lot about this new ether thing ,i guess it is in new stages so most of the coins are being mined with GPU's still .
what i mean is it seriously worth it ? or it is just the 'flash in the Pan ' ,what are your opinions forum people ?

Ethereum has a nice potential to be the next big thing, however, my belief is that the coin that will dethrone bitcoin is still to be developed!

I think I'm going to sit back on this one and just wait a while before I make any decisions

Im all in with ethereum, i have been mining it nonstop for 6 days now. I got about 7 eth. (about 8 or 9 dollars). The tech behind it it's wonderful. It's a whole ecosystem that will enable lots of things that Bitcoin right now doesn't support (Like Smart Contracts, DAO's, etc). It provides his own programming language. With the right support it can pretty much be the future in cryptocurrency and much more. As Bitcoin, the good part is not the currency, but the platform itself (blockchain).
Right now there is an interesting project that it's using Ethereum, it's Augur, which is basically a prediction market where you can buy shares of a future event, and depending on the outcome you can buy or lose money, Augur is raising money for development and right now it sits at 4.5 Millions of $$ . There's another implementation of this idea right now in use, but i forgot his name.
Ethereum is the real deal, we can only hope that it gets more attention.
