For how long it will be like this. No one knows, but its still big achievement imo.

Just saw it - wow!

Bitcoin now has a new silver to its gold...a shame for Litecoin.

Will this put a nail in LTC's coffin?  With ETH going over 1 billion this is a great day for all alt's.  No need for people to argue about ETH's "value" just the fact that it accomplished this feat is great.

Bitfinex is adding Ethereum for trading on Monday, March 14, 2014 (Pi day and Homestead's release). https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/announcements

This announcement probably has a little to do with the recent price spike.

Who wouldn't want 40% of btc's trading volume.  Poloniex has to be making a killing recently.

No doubt. This should also dampen some of the Fudsters who are always on about Eth only trading on scam exchanges, not that Polo or Kraken are scam exchanges, but this news is still a big credibility boost for Ethereum.

I hate to ask this but with poloniex having most of the volume, can we be certain no such "Willy" bot is playing out similar to Gox?  I'm not knocking ETH, just makes one wonder about third party exchanges and exactly what the BitShares project is trying to fix.  Do not turn my question into a ETH or BTS subject, simply asking about a third party exchange and the potential for another "willy" bot.

remember that litecoin was priced up to 0.05, so until then ethereum is stillf ar away to be the second best of all time
but the 1B marketcap is impressive, i don't remember litecoin reaching that amount ever, it has to do with the money circulation

[sirslayer]

Eth over 1 billion??   i though it haves very slow transactions    or maybe it just me ..  Cryptsy folded over due to poor alt coin market after it lost btc due to a hacker??  what makes Poloniex any different .. ??

[Spoetnik]

What am i supposed to be impressed about ?

It's not a currency..

It is also obvious the only thing you all care about is profit.. period .

It could be anything or called anything or have any icon or any gimmick and it would all be the same.

If anything this just reinforces how pathetic the whole entire Altcoin scene is.

I know what happened too..
You all seen the scene dying for a couple years straight.. you all got tired of trying to deny it
when i brought it up almost always by myself.
You were all disillusioned and knew things were sinking hard.
So what do we see ?
A leader !
Who got his IPO coins in 2014 and pumps them hard in 2016
and NOW you all got your moment.. to profit !

The more people jump on the band wagon of <insert coin name> ..the bigger the Cap gets.
Your all loving it because you think the number posted at Poloniex or CoinmarketCap is important.
..for your profits.

It's all clear & predictable and obvious.
You guys were desperate.. for a crowd to latch onto.
It's more luck than anything really.. all the other dev's know it could have been there coin too.
It's like watching a bunch of stupid animals like a herd of cattle grouping up together.
Or like Lemmings off a cliff

Few couplets

Refrain

Other couplets

This is how most of your posts look. Do you do it specially? (Looks like metal ballad lyrics)

[mathgal23]

Overpriced based on hype of Bitfinex/Homestead IMHO

I don't think this valuation can last long but I have been proven wrong before.

I bet this guy wishes he had some ether while typing this bs.

Today is very significant in the history of Ethereum. Now the price is so high, it needs some correction before the next leg up.

ETH and Litecoin literally have nothing to do with one another.

I'm more concerned about DASH valuation, than ETH, with respect LTC. I hope some of the forthcoming features put it back on the same playing field. I'm even more concerned that it's taking me a bit to get over not listening to myself 6 Months ago and take my sizable ETH stash out of the exchange and sit on it. No butthurt here, I have been following ETH from its inception and thought it was an extremely interesting project. Just frustrated at myself for not saying to myself "um you've been following this shit for years, maybe this time you're actually right."

In closing, the only real winner here is my nephew. How does a 2 year old make $5000 in two months? Uncle Natty hits him up with some birthday ETH!

Polo was hacked last year, but Polo regained its rep by refunding all the stolen bitcoins out of their own pockets.

Last week or so alone it jumped more then 300m to 1B+

Looks that headers be occupied by for a while with ETH.

Yes. Its rather big news. I think litecoin was at one point over $1B also. So ETH would be second. Wonder how long it will stay there, and if it goes even more. ETH still seating, as of writing this, at > 1 billion dollar market cap.

I said just a week ago it would breach the 1 billion cap and I was laughed at. Obviously im just a newbie, what the hell would I know. ETH will breach $50 by mid April.  The Patton is never wrong about an asset. Its not a coin its an asset.
