Ethereum pump and dump?

[hananl1styo]

How much faster is ether than btc? If ether grows to be as big as bitcoin, will it slow down confirmation times?

The block time is about 15s for Ethereum, 600s for bitcoin. But you need 360 confirmation in Polonix for Ethereum.

and additionally if you are going to start a trade ethereum in bittrex, this website exchange need 500 confirmations to be used for ethereum, so, about 2 hours 5 minutes to be used.

edit:after i deposit some ethereum, bittrex only need 120 confirmations!

what people want is fiat and not ether, and to get fiat they have to cash out. each additional $1 rise in price increases the distance of the fall.

i found it interesting that the Foundation made its first noises about capping at 100 million ether DURING this  bubble. that makes me VERY suspicious about the entire ether project.

That is very bad to change the original plan. The original plan was to mine about 18 mllion coins each year and forever.

Apart from that the price is not reflecting the coin. It's a pump in progress waiting for a decline. When the dump starts
a lot people will feel very very bad. Even poor.

This has happened to many other coins. But those coins are just scam coins. They do not have good development.

If the Ethereum is developed well and has good community support, the price will be higher and does not crash.

It seems there is no big dump of Ethereum since the last pump. So there might be some value in it.

If coinbase announces support; expect ETH to reach at least 0.07BTC. If it doesn't happen in the next 2 months it will probably never happen.

It depends on the popularity of the Ethereum. When its market cap is over $2 billion, coinbase will support it.

Or drop to 0.5 billion on next months Nor can we rule.

It's worth noting that the founder of LTC works for coinbase; and LTC still isn't supported.  Makes it hard to see why ETH will be.

it wont, but people can always believe i guess. santa is still real to some people.

There are still some developments in the LTC, but it is not very active. It can survive by just copying BTC.

Gonna wait for market to stabalize then buy. Lost a lot of money in pump and dumps recently

Coinbase is built around bitcoin. The developer of Litecoin works there and the company would not add Litecoin so I doubt they would ever add Ether or any other altcoin. Shoot, most folks have no clue what Ethereum is in the first place.

There are a few other coins like as Decred or Lisk. When these coins are pumped, it will divert money from Ethereum.

ether is a scam to be exposed

There is a gulf between an outright scam; and promises of a future that may never be.

Exactly. The same could be said for BTC, weren't we supposed to be at $10,000 coin now or something? Must be a scam....

if we are to make decisions based on everything we read on the internet written by random people then there would be chaos in the market.

there is a lot of difference between promise of success and real world application from an altcoin dev and a random speculation of 10K price/

BTC does all it set out to.  How widely adopted it is; or how high its exchange rate is, are expectations others place upon it.  ETH on the other hand has yet to become its promise.  Granted ETH aims at a much more difficult goal than BTC. 

This is true, but the point was just because Ethereum has "yet to become its promise" does not mean it is a scam.

My issue is with the word scam being tossed around all the time. According to many that post here, if something isn't released in perfect condition with any and every foreseen and unforeseen problem already accounted for and coded in, and unless it instantly skyrockets in value, but never even once falls, it is a scam.

Ethereum Price Weekly Analysis – Move Finally Coming?

Ethereum price mostly traded in a range of $-10-12 this past week, as there was no major news event. However, the best thing, which may favor the bulls is the fact that the price closed the week above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). There was a dip this past week towards $10.00, but bears failed to gain momentum and break the stated level.

On the upside, the price struggled on a couple of occasions around the $12.00 level, as there is a bearish trend line formed on the 4-hours chart of Ethereum price (data feed via Kraken) acting as a barrier. Recently, the price failed to break the 61.8% Fib...
