Is Ethereum a bubble?

[JeffBrad12]

not selling for 3 years at least. 25% of world population will be using blockchain enabled tech in 2025

I shall keep most of my coins for the long term.

Since prices went up quite high from the original price and you can consider booking some profit,

It just on your speculation and it seems the market being random.

you may get a chance to buy at a lower price later on.

That's exactly true, But still need more consideration. Because the down trend is unpredictable right now.
I mean it may go lower than before(bottom price).

Because since last couple of days prices are correcting and I believe it may go down some more.

It depends on the further development and the next update to give an effect to the next trend.

In the longer term it may go even higher price but it is always good to book some profits now and then in investments.

Trading is not about long-term, I mean short-mid term.

ETH has some strong supporters and much things in development ("appwise"). That's why I don't think that it's a bubble. I own some coins and intend to hold them at least to next year. I know that keeps me from to gain some trading them, but I don't have the time, luck or knowledge to do it anyway. I believe that the future will have enough room for more than one crypto and I bet that ETH will be one of them.

As long as there are more users and developments, it is not a bubble.

It is quite difficult to predict the short term price performance. I sold some when the price was $20, thinking it could go lower and buy back.

That is a correct way of trading. We should fix some target profit range for all our investments. Once we reach that level should book some profit and wait for again entry level otherwise we may just watch prices moving up and down and can't make a good profit from these movements.

Judging by this metric, I would say so.  

Block reward inflation in the top 5 PoW cryptocurrencies:

1. Bitcoin = $2,038,522 USD per day
2. Ethereum = $61,039,787 USD per day
3. Ripple = not PoW
4. Litecoin = $173,088 USD per day
5. Dash = $133,472.88 USD per day

Surely the miners will eventually start dumping, then the whales will panic and join them.

You think 61 million dollars worth PER DAY, is just miners? I don’t think so, if you look at poloinex for example that ETH has one of the highest volumes every single day. Which means traders love it and people love to trade their coins back and forth on btc-eth parameters.

I don’t think it is a bubble, I believe it is a valid altcoin, not gonna be 1 million per coin type of crazy things like people expect Bitcoin to be but definetly has an upside in the long term.

[soros017]

Is it true that so far there is no limit to the number of coins that will exist? Where is the logic in this parameter?
If that is the case, inflation would drive the price down in the long run. To resolve something like that, a hard fork would be needed.

No. 61 million USD a day is just the inflation that is currently being created by mining. Surely not all of this is being dumped everyday, as surely there are some believers and holders, but I would imagine a large percentage of it is indeed being dumped. Most miners generally dump whatever they are mining for Bitcoin, or whatever other alt they are interested in. Eventually, this inflation will catch up to the value and the price will drop back to reasonable levels. The market is showing signs of a correction already.

I believe it is a valid alt coin too, and a promising project, but I like to be realistic. It is overvalued for what it provides at the moment. There are not really any useful and working smart contracts at the moment. Maybe one day the current valuation will be appropriate, but now is not that time.

Does it mean the ETH is very popular?

[CoinHoarder]

Does it mean the ETH is very popular?

I would say so. It would have to be pretty popular for it to obtain this high of a market cap and volume. And rightfully so, IMO, because it does have a lot of potential. It is kind of speculative right now, and we will need to see if all or some of these projects that are building on Eth actually come to fruition. I still expect a correction in the market in the near term.

Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that there is still no limit for the supply? This is one of the reasons that lead me to not invest, in addition to scaling issues, of course.

As long as the coin supply inflation is less than the rate of economic growth, it is fine.

The planned inflation will be very low in the future.

It seems people do not care about the high inflation now.

ETH is a  big bubble in the market
I had sell all my ETH, I earn some money and I don't lose it in the market

I did the same when the ETH was just $5. The price is $200 now.

Too bad I missed this train, maybe I buy when there's been long enough bear market but it's very risky right now

Ethereum is currently over price and for now is not advisable to buy if you are a short term buyer. Ethereum was actually bubble last week to early this week and now, it can't remain up it will fell any moment from now to a correlation angle before the next pump.

[Argon2]

It's a phony man made bubble. Almost ZERO fiat flows into ETH, instead just BTC whales working TWO exchanges. Expect major price correction this year. Speculative opinion is 400% loss.

I thought many big companies are using the ETH smart contracts.

[gedor]

Actually Ethereum itself is not a bubble but people have to buy ethereum to invest in icos. I think icos must accept 4-5 different currency at the same rate to avoid this absurdity.
