How can people be buying eth right now?

[BigSirko]

Ethereum is just amateur hour.  I think other projects, if they were to hit $1 billion, would advance the cause of cryptocurrency a lot further than Ethereum could ever hope to. Ethereum only ever raised $20 million and they liquidated their foundation pretty quick.  Meaning no money is leftover for global expansion and marketing.

Before the exposure of the DAO to the attack and the hard fork I would have argued against you. I thought Vitalik was a boy genius who would save the world. I even watched the feature of him on BBC. Now yes. Ethereum, the foundation and Vitalik is just amateur hour. They do not know what they are really doing.

And what are you saying that the Ethereum foundation is liquidated?

Making a reference to the Skype Chat Leaks.  Happened before the DAO.  Pretty much the inner circle of Ethereum admitted they pretty much blew through $20 million like drunken sailors and they were going to have to shut down.   The leaks also showed what they thought about investors and this was really foreshadow for the stuff we later saw in 2016.

 By chance of miracle, the pump to $1 billion just happened in time to bail them out a bit but the foundation by now, I imagine, is probably nearly out of money again...

Just as I predicted. All the Ethereum foundation is doing is waiting for the money to run out then call it quits. Even if they tried to find investors to give them money no one will be willing to invest in them because of their incompetence and corruption.

I made a thread about bots on Poloniex and I think it's a number of people just using bots against ETH to create it's volume. The more people that switch there bots to other currencies the more the ETH price will start to fall. Until then even 10k btc in bot programs can keep the marketcap elevated like this.

I'm not buying ethereum back yet. I'll wait for it to go a lot cheaper.

How much ETC can drop in price? Is it a good time to fill the bags?

I am the same as you. There is no demand for it and there is now doubt with their development team because of the sloppy hard fork. Also the attempted dump of ETC by them also made them look bad because it really looked like they intended to destroy the classic chain.

When is the next developer convention for Ethereum? It would be good to know if the attendees are as many as the past conventions. That could be used as a barometer to measure the interest of the people in Ethereum.

This September i guess here in Asia still, i believe the next developer convention for Ethereum is in Hongkong.

There is a demand for ETH, they are regularly used as gas for tokens to be sent. Right now is the right time to buy ETH for its still cheaper don't believe those who kept fuding about ETH. of course they do have their own intention. you need to learn how to coin operates before listening to these fud.

i am thinking the same because i have been waiting for a big pump in ETC because it has been waiting for a big pump but i guess since the manipulators are only working with ETH they don't pump ETC for the time being.

I do not think there will be a big pump for ETC. There are many big owner are the supporters of the ETH. They will make sure the price does not rise.

Ethereum will pump like monero did in a couple of weeks.  $50 probably soon.

[J Gambler]

It doesn't make any sense.  Is it being manipulated by top bagholders who are using their money to keep buying the sell offs to give it the smoke and mirror effect of looking like Eth isn't bleeding out?

I can still buy Eth i saw eth on exchange website and eth is working with the best developer so they can maintain the security of the website after what happen and their a lots of sponsor who can support ether i am also waiting for the big pump and hoping that eth would be fine.

I think it is possible only if it happens but highly doubt it.

you should actually start buying now for it will go up later. $11 isd the cheapest you can buy them for now. you won't be seeing this price later so if you missed the last stop, this is your chance buy now for there's only one way ticket left.  Bear in mind that the price is what it is and is a good indication for a good coin to have. the people who holds it understands what eth is made of.

I think so. Any price below $20 is good to buy. There will be a big conference in China in three days.

I hold back my judgement of ETH when the next big exploit on a big ethereum contract will be discovered.

Is there actually some statistics on how much ethereum there is in each of the public contracts on ethereum ?
The DAO was a crazily high fraction of ethereum, but what is the next biggest thing on ethereum ?

Only few days away before the conference but there's no sign of massive pump coming. Perhaps the conference is not a big deal.

for me, buying eth is like make an investment and i do buy when the rate is 0.017 yesterday and now its reach almost 0.02 and i think it will be back into up to 0.02 like before. just waiting for a good news from the dev and the community. i only buy for a small amount of eth.

i hope you've all filled your bags. Price going to $20 soon.

I dont think there is any pump for now, no panic trade.

The price of the Etheruem just rose 15% in the last two weeks. So it is just a small pump, there is not usual.
