Is Ethereum Getting Ready For Mass Adoption?

The massive jump of Ether price in the past few months has caught the attention of lots of investors. However, many of them are still questioning whether this cryptocurrency is viable for being adopted by the crowd.

Some common arguments are that Ethereum can currently process around 20 transactions per second, while Visa is capable of handling over 24,000. Another argument can be that it is challenging for somebody with little technical experience to set up an Ether wallet.

These are all valid logical reasonings. However, there are also some facts that may indicate that Ethereum is actually moving towards mainstream adoption.

Seems like a sponsored post trying desperately to revert the Ethereum bear market The "Flippening" looks again VERY far away now - ETH in a couple of days will have less than 50% of BTC's market cap again, if the current trends continue. And sorry, the comparison with the WWW is just ridiculous.

Hadn't Ethereum had problems just because the blockchain became unreliable due to the high transaction rate of the last weeks? How will "mainstream adoption" then achieved?

I still don't see the "dapp"/smart contract projects really solving mportant problems. Most are simply speculation tools.

It is obvious that they really want to bring back the "glory" days of Ethereum. But sad to say the price fell so hard after enjoying a ATH and now its just above $240. And yeah, the so called Flippening that was so much hype didn't happened? Why? Because it is still alt-coin and bitcoin can take anyone for those who want to challenge its supremacy. Ethereum will not die because there are still ICO that is popping here and there, but I think it can't bring back the luster once it had a few months ago. And for those who are still trap, being exit now otherwise, you will be trap forever and most probably lost everything.

Will we see a repeat of the whole Bernie Madoff saga when the SEC finally act on the securities fraud that are being done with Ethereum? The SEC

did nothing for years and look how much money people lost through Bernie Madoff's actions. { $64.8 billion } .... The best thing for now is to

warn people in advance and if they do not want to listen, then they will just have to burn their fingers.

Many people turn to the use of ETH. All this is due to the fact that small payments in BTC are very difficult to do. But I also do not trust ETH. Even though the price growth of this currency for 3 months is significant

There were people that thought ETH will surpass bitcoin in market cap, maybe that could happen in a date in the future but even if bitcoin has a lower dominance the truth is we are headed to regain some of that dominance with the activation of segwit.

This is post is too premature. You're making yourself look desperate. You may shill again on Q1-Q2 2018.  ;

And reality starts to set in, How long to $100?

[Gaius Cryptus Tradius]

I think the problem is that Ethereum cannot perform so many transactions like for example IOTA. This is what is needed for mass adoption

Ethereum is just in a downtrend phase like any other altcoin. What I love with people is that they always put their flag in the direction of the wind !

Ethereum falling every day

Ethereum falling every day

That is a bit exagerated, and totally normal coming from someone openly against Ethereum. Ethereum had three days of fall, and what ? All the altcoins had the same patern, so no worries the boat is still afloat ...

Because it was going up too fast. It will go down, then it will go back up. Ethereum is not different.

[abdillahzidan]

It is difficult indeed to restore the glory of the eth like last month, there needs to be a new breakthrough from dev eth to restore the trust of the people.the significant price decrease makes a lot of the the losers. So a new breakthrough becomes a solution to lift the glory of ETH so that eth remain wrong One ALTCOIN is calculated in the future

Is Ethereum Getting Ready For Mass Adoption?

no because there is no usage for ethereum so far. and all that this article is arguing about is its price rise AKA ethereum's pump and that has nothing to do with adoption.

The massive jump of Ether price in the past few months has caught the attention of lots of investors. However, many of them are still questioning whether this cryptocurrency is viable for being adopted by the crowd.

actually most people who hear about altcoins see the altcoin market in general and with a quick comparisson they can see that ethereum's pump was not even the biggest one!

price-wise there are other altcoins that have higher price than ethereum!
volume-wise there are other altcoins that had higher volume than ethereum if you exclude all the eth contract volume and only consider ETH/BTC and ETH/fiat (usd, eur,..)
percentage-wise ethereum doesn't even come close to the top 20 rises

Some common arguments are that Ethereum can currently process around 20 transactions per second, while Visa is capable of handling over 24,000. Another argument can be that it is challenging for somebody with little technical experience to set up an Ether wallet.

first of all, no it can not. we have seen recently that how the whole network failed for weeks! which shows ethereum has a very serious scaling issue.
secondly ether is not even a currency. it never was supposed to be a currency and only the pumpers and shills compare it with currencies to pump the coin.

These are all valid logical reasonings.

where?!!!

You don't sound against etherium, you sound more like desperate etherium bagholder.
