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

[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!

$5 Billion by the end of the year!

$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.

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.

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.

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.
