What is happening with ETH?

[cointabo]

ETH is in uptrend in general. And with all the negative news surrounding it lately, it has passed that and now continuing the bull run.

since bitcoin is at its all time high, why wouldn't ETH?  they are essentially equal these days.

Agree. Folks are trying to find some kind of conspiracy behind this growth but I would say that is fairly simple, as BTC is going up new money are coming to crypto and as residual effect ETH is also going up.

ETH has been going strong. The pump is perhaps due to the number of projects and ICOs on ETH platform. There are just so many projects' ICOs that accepts ETH to purchase their tokens. There is not really a big dump happening soon because as other ICOs are ending, some are also just beginning.

Yes I think so, eth will not go down drastically, if for correction up and down the price is already normal in crypro, now it's time for etherum to rise and will be more popular with the number of ico using etherum-based token.

ETH prices is growing.i think it's never go down.prices may be up down but ETH not go down.

[nelmari]

Ethereum's price had been up before BTC's price went down. It's last value was around 0.10, so most probably Eth is just trying to follow its path were it left off a few months before. I actually like this coin, in fact some ICO's are using Ethereum as its blockchain rather than BTC.

[yua_na]

no, its not because ico, its because btc spike and s3gwit, and also fork bch, people confuse and i read vitallik twit that kakao pay in korea accept ethereum, maybe the rally will reach to $700 or more

[kryptqnick]

Is there something behind this up? Any ICO?

I know almost coin is up, but ETH is pumped hard

your definition of "pumped hard" is way off the reality.
ether has gone up about 10-15% and meanwhile there are other shitcoins like ether that went up at least 60% in the same time frame. and that is called "pumped hard".

and there is no need for a reason for ether pump, it just gets pumped and dumped over and over and the manipulators make money from newbies who invest in it. nothing new!

I agree there is nothing special in ethereum price growing nowadays. The platform is used more and more, so the demand for the coin grows as well. Yet I don't think it is right to call ethereum a shitcoin. I know it has big problems with code safety but it is very innovative, so I guess it's one of the best coins we have no matter what. You are probably right the price will go down after a while, though.

I hope there is lots of token in wallet send to marketplace or exchanges each Ico having millions or billions of coin so each transaction need gas for transaction fees as most ethereum based token doing well so ether also getting benefit overall.

Ethereum is the foundation that can create a lot of smart contracts and attract many investors into ICO projects. Ethereum will soon reach $1000, i think should buy it now

[rdluffy]

Thank you guys, this topic was better than I expected
I really like ETH and I'm holding

Everyone also wants something like that, with many enthusiasts Ethereum platform or smart contract Ethereum, I think Ethereum have a good future and will be better in the future.

[Tradegroup]

Don't worry about Ethereum. It's an unique project compared to many other coins around here. It will rise again step by step especially with POS switch around the corner.

[soothaa]

It will rise again step by step especially with POS switch around the corner.

No it is not and no it will not.

ETH gets stronger in other words. Its smart contract technology becomes the main reason why investors like me are attracted to ICO.

[ahmadakbari]

Nothing especial has happend to Etheruem and there is no special news which cause the Ethereum demand to rise. After August 1, most of major altcoins such as Litecoin, Dash and ripple are increasing in price.

I know almost coin is up, but ETH is pumped hard

This question has been asked several times already, ether is not pumped hard, it has peak at 0.15BTC or 0.16BTC and actually it dropped to 0.09BTC.
The reason? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0
I counted 292 bounty topics for ICO so all these ICO's have to be reason.

[khokon150]

When ETH is start dumped it's a huge dumped & when ETH is start pumped it's a huge pumped I think it's nothing new.But it's ttue ETH is really awesome coin.My future depends on ETH.

[Ctn]

I believe it's little glitch in the ether pump and dump. All the ICO actually power up the ether as we are buying huge number of tokens by using it. This process in reality increases the demand of ether. I know selling occurs the in reverse too but note that most of the tokens later sold or exchanged with bitcoin by the end users. So it's hard to say any ICO might be affecting it in negative way. Hundreds of ICO are going on daily and token sales are made through ethereum blockchain. That's big support for it. It's just that bitcoin is too high currently and everybody is ignoring ether in the first place.
