Will Ethereum reach a billion market cap this year? [IT DID. LOCKED.]

[bathrobehero]

That would currently mean $13 per coin. That's quite possible. I personally think it wil reach $10 within a month or so.

[hector3115]

$19/ETH this year, call me crazy.

[Blawpaw]

All can happen. ethereum can put bitcoin to second place as well as it can be surpassed by yet another coin.

[tokeweed]

That would currently mean $13 per coin. That's quite possible. I personally think it wil reach $10 within a month or so.

Within a month?  Isn't that too optimistic?

[stoat]

Gentlemen...

[USB-S]

Shorting Ethereum is like betting against bankers. Hmmm...

[BountyHunter2012]

Could be by 2020. Ethereum power is in its platform. You need more companies building on ethereum to make it happen.

Ether could be good for long term investments.

[thms]

I think ETH will reach $50 + this year.

[tokeweed]

I think ETH will reach $50 + this year.

New millionares are born when it does reach that.

I don't know the first thing about trading so there's that, but seeing the hype both in the coin and in the price increase (gold rush) and the consistent climb with no major dumps I think it's quite possible.

[Vaculin]

The price could touch $13. But I do not think it will stay there for long. It depends on further development of the platform.

The only thing I know about trading is, no one can really predict the future...  So it's possible it could reach 13 (maybe more), but then maybe not.  Set your stops accordingly, but no too high.  You wouldn't want to get stopped out this early.

[stoat]

Yes.  It could be a lot more than 1billion market cap.  Probably 2 billion or more.

[roparker2014]

I just posted this in another thread but I felt like repeating it here as it seems apt so ...

Remember what Matthew Mcconaughey's character says in Wolf of Wall Street - the secret is, no one has the slightest clue what is going to happen in the markets. Everyone's basically playing a slot machine and the ones making the real money are the ones who empty the machine's cash box at the end of the day.
With Crypto it's basically this x 1 million. With a few slight differences - it takes a lot less cash to manipulate the average crypto-exchange traded coin than in does a company listed on a stock exchange. So there's a lot more opportunity to be a whale and manipulate the markets for your own ends (plus no regulations to make doing this illegal).

Remember that guy who posted here for ages called Ryan Pumper or something? He was selling people the idea that the market was predictable and moved in predictable patterns. I guess he made a fair bit of money off people here before he left (no idea what actually happened, I didn't follow it that closely but he seemed to be fairly successful at what he was doing).
It only took the most basic research to work out that what he was saying wasn't true - simply look at a handful of lifetime price charts for a few altcoins. You will see there is no repeating pattern or predictability. But it's easy to make money if you can convince people that there is predictability, and that you know how to read it.
I would actually like to hear how that whole Ryan thing worked out, if anyone knows.



 

[benthach]

I would also love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

it will going back to under $50mil when their useless wallet is released and people realizing there is nothing to this hype, plus there are already tons of so call platforms out there.

[thms]

It's impossible to predict everything but I think there's a good probability of ETH price going much higher when chinese exchanges add support for ETH trading.

[shanem]

I think it is difficult for ETH to reach 1 billion market cap. DASH is the last altcoin that managed to break 0.02 BTC resistance and stayed there for a short period of time before going up. ETH may go above 0.02 BTC but will not stay there very long.

[fortunecrypto]

It's impossible to predict everything but I think there's a good probability of ETH price going much higher when chinese exchanges add support for ETH trading.

Yes of course China is a major player so if they back up any coins the probability that it will  increase it's value is very high ethereum is a good alternative to bitcoin  they are already on number two spot that is surprising to us..

[myxamop]

0.02 not correct, dash got low supply of coins that's why it hit 0.02

[MR1]

It may even exceed 1bn market cap and it`s even possible that Kraken or Polo go gox and run away with your money!

[silversmith]

$5 Billion by the end of the year!

[tokeweed]

$5 Billion by the end of the year!

If it does reach that, then we have a real contender to topple BTC in market capitalization.

[Vaculin]

$5 Billion by the end of the year!

If it does reach that, then we have a real contender to topple BTC in market capitalization.

The Bitcoin is about $7 billion at the moment. If the Eterehum can reach $5b, it is a great performance.

[hometester]

It will most definitely hit 1 Billion Market Cap this year.

In perhaps 18mo -3 years it will hit parity with Bitcoin

[Bustart]

In order for Ethereum to reach $1 billion market cap, its price should be around $13. It is easily achievable.

[robelneo]

Hopes are high for ethereum if nothings change it might go up to 1 billion so far the trend is very positive and they are almost halfway to 1 billion,I would love to see it breach the 1 billion mark this is good for the community

[Vasetar]

I did not expect the price to reach $1 billion a few months ago. But if the price keeps on rise, there is no problem.

[owm123]

Its possible. More major companies interested in ethereum in addition to recent canonical and Samsung, can lead to more exposure, and more interest in ether.

[Nancimy]

Its possible. More major companies interested in ethereum in addition to recent canonical and Samsung, can lead to more exposure, and more interest in ether.

If the Augur comes on line as expected, then it is possible to reach $1 billion. Every major release will increase the price.

[tokeweed]

Getting closer to a billion.

[stoat]

Almost triple ripple

[tokeweed]

Where are the sourgraping mofos?  Gone?

[Kalamsid]

The total number of Ethereum will be around 80 million this year, the price just needs to be over $12 to reach $1 billion.

[Sark]

Doubtful. Long term, the fundamentals are there to increase the market cap to those levels, but it is unlikely to get enough traction to support that until sometime next year. Of course, if enough speculators jump on board, who knows what will happen.

[keepdoing]

I would also love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

I just think it is a foregone conclusion personally.  Things happen faster nowadays.  We are in a huge overall shift in the global finances.  I know that talk about "to the moon" and million dollar bitcoins, and stuff like that seems to smack of pump/dump insanity.

But it really isn't that far fetched to expect that at some point this whole transition to crypto out of fiat just goes hyper-drive.  Already the momentum is just really solid.  I mean, even this current "Ethereum Bubble" is starting to feel less like a bubble, and more like a normal progression.  You don't see the ebullient "greed highs" in what has been under any other comparative metric - an frieking AMAZING move in the past couple of weeks.   And yet it just feels normal, expected.

I mean, crypto has what?  ...like 1/1000 (1/10,000??) of total global marketcap in the currency space???  I mean I am just throwing out a number, but it sounds about right as an estimate to make the point.  Bottomline is that we are in uncharted waters here.  i don't think anyone can honestly wrap their minds around just what the upside is.

[EdenHazard]

I never thought that ethereum will reach prices of more than 0:01, and now the price is the highest poloniex after bitcoin, amazing.
i will consider to buy some etherum and hold it for some years,its a good time to buy?

[Thenoticer]

Hey....

Im assuming that you still feel that this is a normal market action? Up and atom? So question, are you cashing out to btc yet?

Where are the sourgraping mofos?  Gone?

Edit. While im still not excited about etherium and believe it is flawed, it does look like it'll hit a billion by next week with all this pumping. A billion id imagine is a psycological point so id expect dumping to occur then.

[Minecache]

Long term hodling position. It pays to have a foot in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[chicken65]

No , It will be my coin that reaches 1 billion…..ahem..

Well I am very glad I bought in to ETH after the ICO. I would never in a million years suggest a coin could topple BTC. But….This one
if any certainly has a chance to do that. Im not schilling for ETH and I dont even own that many but Im real tempted to buy a few more.
I said to my self buy more when they were $2, then $4. How high does it need to go before I start buying more.

 So from now on Ill be watching it like a hawk.
Im thinking lets not repeat the same mistakes I made when i was actually a member here way back early 2011 when people were throwing BTC
away (could never find that old account) and I formatted the hard drive I had BTC on thinking this Crypto thing was all nonsense….
Luckily I have no idea how many BTC was on that drive. I was totally clueless. Mining? What are they talking about I kept saying to my self.
I was actually mining them but it just looked like a bunch of useless numbers to me.

[Ubertroco]

No way. It might surpass litecoin but thats it.

[Sark]

No way. It might surpass litecoin but thats it.

That happened like a month ago didn't it?

[stoat]

It's already almost 4X the market cap of litecoin and almost triple nipple.

It will be a trivial thing to reach 1billion at this rate

[Za1n]

I originally voted no, but seeing as it is now nearly 2/3rds of the way there I am now leaning more toward yes. Coinmarketcap is currently showing $ 651,547,448 which is pretty good at this stage of Ethereum's life.

[stoat]

ETH going up massively right at this moment.

[tyz]

No, the price is currently hyped by good news like Thomson Reuters, RWE and other are doing research on Ethereum. But doing research and  considering to support it in the future do not mean that it will used in production in future. If Ethereum would offer ready-to-use products then the image would look different. Further, do not forget that over 1.5 Million Ether are created each month. The offer will increase constantly and the buy pressure will decline soon and price will go down.

[BellaBitBit]

ETH going up massively right at this moment.

No kidding, just checked it out, in the $8 range!  Nice articles out there about Microsoft working with ETH yesterday, definitely having an effect on the price.  It could reach a billion market cap if it continues like this.

In your wildest fantasies.

[tokeweed]

Looks like the right answer is yes. 

[stoat]

Looks like the right answer is yes. 

Indeed

[Za1n]

Yes, $10 now equating to over $750 million market-cap. It shot up over $100 million in 24 hours, so yes I now think 1 Billion is easily reachable.

[tokeweed]

I wonder why people kept on denying it instead of riding that uptrend...

[stoat]

I wonder why people kept on denying it instead of riding that uptrend...

You have to remember that most altcoiners were people that got in to bitcoin after it peaked. It's in their nature to be johnny come latelys.

I can't believe Ethereum market cap is close to 1 billion dollars now. People were saying that ETH was dead last year. It is truely amazing that in such a short time, banks have started to use its blockchain.

[useless eater]

a billion fiat paper dollars?

hmph

easily

[Minecache]

Would love to see it pass this billion milestone.

[Nxtblg]

Looks like the right answer is yes. 

And to think I voted "Maybe"

[tokeweed]

[WoJJ78]

$800M marketcap, yeah I'm pretty sure it will reach $1B

[Minecache]

$800M marketcap, yeah I'm pretty sure it will reach $1B

$870m now.

[StinkyLover]

Forget this year. Will ETH reach $1billion market cap this month (or even this weekend )

[MR1]

I would also love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

Why not? A huge portion of ETH is accumulated in the hands of whales who exchange it to each other on Poloniex.

[Minecache]

Forget this year. Will ETH reach $1billion market cap this month (or even this weekend )

This weekend even? Looking at the charts there is literally a wall of money hitting ETH. In glad I'm in.

Yes, but seperate topic.

For me I remember the whole explosion of Bitcoin price at MtGox was driven by an internal exploit where they could buy bitcoin without spending any cash. For me I feel like half the volume is at poloniex, and a quarter is at Kraken. But other exchanges see like no volume. Just makes me leery thats all.

[roparker2014]

I swear that 90% of the posts on this forum are started as fud.
Is there any community online where people who are actually enthusiasts of crypto tech talk to each other sensibly? Rather than just day trading speculators posting hype and fud?

I don't trust anything anyone says on this forum any more as there is so much blatant fud/shilling, so I just assume that all the posts which don't seem to be fud/shill are still doing it, just being  more subtle about it. Its as a bad as the exchange trollboxes.

Poloniex is quite trustworthy.  And why would they pump ETH why not another coin?  There are many other coins on the market at poloniex,  much higher profits to be made pumping those ones.



I believe you are just sour graping. You need to do some research on Ethereum instead of listening to the worthless opinions of bitcoinmaximalist trolls

[Minecache]

Isn't anyone worried about half the volume being on one exchange?

no because there are not many places to buy ETH right now.

[LEONPATTON]

That would currently mean $13 per coin. That's quite possible. I personally think it wil reach $10 within a month or so.

Within a month?  Isn't that too optimistic?

You started this thread a month ago.  Its just over 100 mil away from the 1 billion mark.

The highest amount of Ethers or the top address is of Poloniex Cold-wallet*.I am not accusing anything here but it is something that shouldn't be ignored.IMO the recent pump might take a nap after hitting 1 billion market cap but is pretty unreasoned though.

Hell, we might see it today   LOL
Most of this is new fiat money coming in.  But I tell you what - those HODLers over in Bitcoinland are panicking! LOL.   One more time, they are watching the price bitcoin turn around and start heading down again.   I really want to feel sorry for them, but I just can't.  They are just addicted to the drama over there, and they really do deserve to have missed the very beginning of what is going to be a long road up for Ethereum.

Ironically, it may be a spike in Bitcoin money moving over that floats us over the $1 Billion mark.  Again, I think that really almost all of the increases are new fiat money, but I do think, and you watch, that we're getting ready to see a mass exodus out of bitcoin.  I mean - they are stubbornnly loyal to bitcoin and I guess there is something good about that, but I don't they are stupid, and it really is sort of getting apparent that this is not turning around anytime soon.  I mean - we are still 10 days from Homestead.   That is going to create a lot of buzz and news etc.

Anyway - watch for a sharp influx from bitcoin users.

[roparker2014]

This is incredible, I've bought in, doubled my money, and cashed half out, three times now ... really at a dilemma now whether or not just to go all in - I know never to gamble more than I can afford to lose but since this is all free money effectively, starting with a 1 BTC investment I made a couple of months ago - which has now netted me over 3BTC profit with 1.5 still invested - hmm. Could lose it all, or could be celebrating on my own private tropical island this time next year ...
Decisions, decisions.

the banks (ADI's) get to issue debt a CCR and then bind everyone to pay back more by thier value and getting more loans etc. Shares and stuff are just playing in that pool, a large game of musical chairs for the money supply.

Exactly.  No one could predict the market.  Even the so called experts have no idea most of the time.  Your best shot is to follow the trend and be sure to trade the meat of the trend.  Timing the market is futile.

Yes, more than 13% of the supply in cold wallet belonging to Poloniex,but it is still unpredictable market and nobody other than people actually doing this shit can judge or even predict anything.It's speculation after all.

That would currently mean $13 per coin. That's quite possible. I personally think it wil reach $10 within a month or so.

A few players are at the games with ETH on at the moment. ETH will pass the Billion mark in a matter of weeks,  zero doubt about this. The only fudsters are ripple bag holders.

Maybe after the Homestead is formally released in a few weeks, the price will pass the 1 billion mark. That is great milestone.

IMO, ETH will surpass 1 billion mark a few days before the PI day. As Homestead is release, there will be huge selling to dump the coin into oblivion.
It is a good time to buy ETH during this correction.

It depends on the extent of the correction. If the price drops to 0.01 or lower, I will buy quite a lot of Ethereum.

[tokeweed]

Yes.

[molecular]

If the price drops to 0.01 or lower, I will buy quite a lot of Ethereum.

Except that you probably wont. Either because it wont drop or because you change your mind when you see the bear market and bad news necessary for such a drop.

[StinkyLover]

Well, it's just hit $1bn

I hate to say this tokeweed, but I now consider you a fudder! (joke)

Your title should be reading "Will Ethereum reach a 10 billion market cap this year?"

[Minecache]

Yes.

Good call.

[Nxtblg]

Yes.

Yes, it did. So I set up a tongue-in-cheek poll asking a similar question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1395850

 

[bit1]

I would also love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

Looks that your question-prediction  was very wise.

[TravelsAsia]

I would also love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.

it will going back to under $50mil when their useless wallet is released and people realizing there is nothing to this hype, plus there are already tons of so call platforms out there.

Oops

It has passed the $1 billion market cap. It has also dropped below that very important milestone.

[Mastker]

The market cap will hovering around $1 billion for the next few months, then it will go above it after good news.

True, market psychology 101. Also true why people who say I am going to sell all  my Eth at 0.035, 0.4, or whatever don't, because they get greedy and hold out for more.

Here is a more likely scenario based on human behavior:

Price low 0.001 or whatever - coin is ignored or thought it "won't go anywhere" by most.
Price moves up a bit - still ignored by most, thought of as "pump and dump -I am staying out".
Price has made tons of gains and it up 100's or even 1000's of percent - FOMO people buying with both hands "I better get in before it too late, to the MOON!"
Price drops down slightly under their investment - "oh well, probably only a minor correction, I will hold on."
Price drops a lot under their investment - "Oh shit, I screwed up, better get out while I can walk away with something, this shit is going to 0"
Price is back to, or close to original price point - "Damn, I glad I sold when I did, I knew this was a shit coin, never touching it again."
Process repeats...

This is the important part to remember, the process usually repeats itself. This has taking me a few years to realize only after losing money constantly. So don't get nervous sell out.  Yes it may take some time to recover from the loss but it's just like the roller coaster in the stock market up & down, up & down, over and over again.

The Ethereum has reached a billion market cap this year. But the price is also dropping, it lost the market cap now.

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

I think Ethereum is a good altcoin, but it has yet to be seen if it can scale as much as Bitcoin. The blockchain from this coin is already humongous.
People that think Ethereum will replace Bitcoin are most definitely delusional.

[Mastker]

The Ethereum has reached $1 billion market this year. But it has dropped below it again. I think it will be $1b again.

[Vasetar]

The price of the Ethereum has dropped to around $8. It might be affected by the main developer's sale of 25% of his holding.

[Vaculin]

The price of the Ethereum has dropped to around $8. It might be affected by the main developer's sale of 25% of his holding.

The price is back to $10 now. It is still hovering around the $9-10 level. It might drop below $8 again soon.

[tokeweed]

$19/ETH this year, call me crazy.

Nope.  Not crazy. 

[BitcoinBabbler]

Vouch For Ethereum! I hope so, seeing the steady rise in the eth prices. And that woul mean more money to me... Hail Eth!

The Etheruem set a new all time high of dollar price yesterday. So it is possible for the price to rise further.

We need another DAO or some kind of new applications to consume the Ethereum. If there is one, the price can be maintained.

No worries. There will be more applications of the Etheruem in the future. The Augur will appear.

[truongdhnh]

Bitcoin has taken 6 years to develop public acceptance to the point of achieving a market cap of merely $10 billion at its peak thus far. Ethereum is highly experimental and more complex. Many things can go wrong, and likely will for quite some time. It will take many years to gain the public's trust.

Possibly, I'm sure people will support the next kind of DAO crowdsale hosted on Ethereum blockchain because the first one was an astounding success.

you can't know if it was a success yet. You can call it a success tha they have raised that amount of money but we will see if it fails or not. Most likely it will get dumped at the beginning tommorow if ETH drops more today the panic will be real.

We also need the first DAO to invest wisely and make some profit. That will set a very good example.

The Ethereum price is quite stable at the moment. It is above the $1 billion for some time. It might even rise to $2B.

We need some good news to push the Ethereum price higher. There is no big news for the time being.
