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

[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

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

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.

I believe it's released next week on Pi Day. Good time to get in and join the party.

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 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.

$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!

[Vasetar]

$19/ETH this year, call me crazy.

Nope.  Not crazy. 

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