General Opinion on Ethereum

[Minecache]

What's the general opinion of all posters on Ethereum. Worth a punt?

[bitmarket.net]

Interesting concept.
Worth watching how it develops.

Tried understanding the technology and potential behind it. seems really promising considering its age and the support it gets( Microsoft offered to implement ethereum toolkit with its Cloud Service azure ). Quite a lot of interesting developments and project built on top of the platform ( augur is one of the bigger ones ). Bottom line is that it is one to watch

one of the better coins but a waste of time and effort.

google network effect.

google bitcoin funding.

etc

that does not mean that it will find a niche.

high potential high risk, worth holding a few IMO, maybe more then a few when the price is right...

Its unclear weather or not Ethereum fills / will fill, a need / niche, it unclear what Ethereum is!

so definitely early in the game for Ethereum.

but i think ETH is still overvalued, it should go down a good 50% vs the BTC in the coming year(s)
weather or not ETH holds or increases in dollar terms, depends on how useful it turns out to be i guess.

[Minecache]

Thanks for the interesting links and opinions. I'm going to invest in a few then see what may.

[Amph]

i still want to remain with bitcoin, if they are incorporating it as a mean of payment in their decentralized platform, i might give it a try, otherwise, it's not so different than othe big crypto(top10)

i'm also watching closely maidsafe

There are going to be a lot of dumps coming for eth in the coming year. I think so as well, that the price will decrease at least 50% of what it is now.

However eth has pretty big volumes currently, if that doesn't change then it's only a positive sign for eth. However my view on eth is that I don't really see the point of it. Big hype for such a broken product.

One of the best Altcoin, with great Dev Team,
its going to be a Huge coin

[Spoetnik]

No.. avoid.

It's a rip-off copy cat of Ripple pretty much as far as i am concerned.

It being manipulated every which way.
It has no real value and no natural adoption.

Simply put Rich people made it and pushed it out with marketing.
Everybody said fuck you.. it's garbage.

So the Cult leaders pumped it and lured in the greedy who are NOW fucking with it to make their peanuts in profit.

Once the Cult leader does his dump on the morons they too will dump..
Then they will pretend it never even happened and that they were never supporting it.

AKA: a modern day digital PONZI / PYRAMID scheme.. don't get caught on the bottom

And aside from all that it has a bad design.. sketchy backers and a scammy initial distribution.
and aspects of it have been mired in controversy (search around for early posts on it)

OH and as goes with any "coin" and yeah i use that term around here REAL loosely LOL
do your homework.. yourself !

Want to invest in Etherium ?
Well you might as well sink your money into BlockNet hahahha

what is the differentiating factor of maidsafe?

[tokeweed]

Mostly this.  No plans to buy in but it's good to be ready in case ETH trends.

[varusisog]

You can create smart contracts with Ethereum. It is a platform you can program on. In terms of this, it is superior to bitcoin. But we can also build a platform above bitcoin.

[Szaja1990]

my biggest hope and my main investment in 2015

[benthach]

adoption! adoption! adoption and adoption!
ethereuom have no adoption, it's a hyper scam and hyper hype coin with lot of confusion mixed in a bag.
we don't need this hyper get rich quick scam, bagholder hype scam, everything can be build on top of bitcoin included smart contracts with everything easy to use and understand

[graffix]

In my opinion Bitcoin has to many flaws to become much larger then it is at this moment.
It doesn't take much for ethereum to become as big as 25% of BTC is at this moment.
Hence, it's a great buying opportunity. I also truly believe in it's potential. Mainly because it's not Bitcoin.

Just be realistic. 1 BTC won't ever go to 10K.
The chance of 1 ETH rising 10x is bigger.
I don't use BTC anymore since al it's volatility, the scams like GOX etc.
Offcourse this could also happen to coins like ETH. Still I just feel better with ETH.

Where can one invest in maidsafe?

[eddie13]

I think that a lot of people think Ether is something that it is not..

I really can't explain it..

Anything that's traded in the open market will trend sooner or later.
