Ethereum in NYTimes

[cmbartley]

Seems like ethereum already won the battle of the altcoins. 

Probably will exceed bitcoins ATH market cap by 2017.

Exciting times.

you are nothng but a believer. Bitcoin will be number one forever, ethereum is a scam and will be dumped. Dump your ether now and hodl bitcoin.

Tosh and piffle.

Ethereum is on the way to putting btc in second place. 

Once that happens all shitcoins will go down to nothing.  Ethereum as tge only useful coin in crypto will be incredibly valuable.

Most of the leading altcoins claim some utility... except bitcoin, which doesn't really have a unique utility. Keep an eye on XRP in the next few months, they're doing the leg work behind the scenes to bring credibility to vaporland.

This stuff may increase the ethereum's value big time, but I guess it would be temporary.

Will have to see, my guess is that there's potential for long-term increases in the value of the network as dAPPs with their own tokens are deployed within the network. We just saw how well the digix IPO performed (5.5 million in 12 hours) and Slock.it is crreating a lot of excitement.

As people invest money, time, and energy into dependent applications and side-chains of Ehtereum will help to maintain vertical pressure on the price.

It's because no one really reads the media or watches it.  There was always that old trivia like Wrestlemania or Jersey Shore has more ratings than CNN.  A lot of online newsites, including NYT and especially, are discreditable since they seem to publish any crypto press release and blog sent their way.

More great breaking news on Ethereum in Forbes no less.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/francescoppola/2016/04/03/ethereum-towards-a-new-bitsociety/#6504dc5a10a1

The whole tone of that article was skeptical - which, from a long-term perspective, is a good thing. Pumpy press from mainstream financial outlets on an alternative asset class are usually a sign that the top is nigh. On the other hand, skeptical stories reflect a calmer non-pumpy perspective.

As for the content, it comes with the turf as we walk through the "I'll show you!" trail.

Wow, a mention in a blog. This is  HUGEEEEEE

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/04/microsoft-major-banks-strike-blockchain-deal.html

"Microsoft has struck a deal with a group of leading banks to help develop blockchain-like technology, the U.S. technology giant said on Monday.

Blockchain is the technology that underlies the cryptocurrency bitcoin. It works like a huge, decentralized ledger for bitcoin which records every transaction and stores this information on a global network so it cannot be tampered with. Banks feel blockchain technology can be utilized in areas from remittances [read Ripple] to securities exchanges [Ethereum].

...

R3 and its members will have access to Microsoft's blockchain partners which includes the likes of start-ups Ethereum and Ripple."

Dayum wish I'd bought some digix.

A lot of projects are starting to see an increased coverage in the news which is drawing people into looking at Ethereum more deeply.This is a self-perpetuating cycle as the more the price moves, the more people become interested, the more articles are written and the more the price moves.
