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

[Ubertroco]

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

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.

ETH going up massively right at this moment.

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.

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.

Looks like the right answer is yes.

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...

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.
