Why Ethereum?

[Team Saske]

If Ethereum's supply is infinite, why does it enjoy a $112 billion+ market cap?

Extra capabilities. Please read the Ether paper at the official site.

With higher and higher per-transaction costs, tens if not hundreds of millions trapped in a bottleneck of transactions as well as hundreds of millions already stolen because it's about as secure as the Mexican border? Really?

Like it or not it has become the reserve currency for icos and is slowly displacing btc on exchanges as a trading pair. Moreover, it has the history and brand recognition, a star developer and its platform is used for lts of apps. It’s not perfect, it has bugs. I am actually not a big fan and think there are many up and coming alternatives but we’re obviously not there yet.

Pretty much. But looks don’t last forever.  Crypto evolves so fast, so there is much better tech out there and competition and trying to dethrone ethereum is a great incentive to innovate. Unfortunately the newcomer has to make itself known and prove itself so it can displace queen bee. It will happen but probably not in short term.

This year will be Ethereum Year might as well join the ride. Blockchain adoption is very fast and cryptos are evolving every year. But eventually Ethereum could rise it price. I think Ethereum this year will be 10,000usd

Ethereum has being one of the most use coin for ICO. Ethereum is popular because it allow other projects be built on its protocol and such projects use Ethereum for their ICO sales.

Well, Ethereum is a very good coin, making it easy to create tokens, and is also supporting smart contracts, it's much better than bitcoin. The number of tokens on it should give you a pretty good idea why.

ETH is very stable and it's constantly rising

Just a matter of time it takes over btc, maybe not in terms of popularity though. Everyone's heard of bitcoin.

it seems for now ethereum can not reach that price,
1000 $ is good for ethreum right now

I think Ethereum is the second great crypto-currency after Bicoin. The main advantage of this crypto currency is its openness and security. You can work with Ethereum on almost any platform - smartphone, PC. Ethereum is protected from third-party interference and hacker attacks. To date, this is one of the most promising crypto currencies with growing demand.

Ethereum is a solid coin and it's already proved in last year. it can achieved another mile stone this year of $2000.

For sure, I think this year is going to be a great one for ETH.

lol OP, I wish ETH could be simple like that.

[Bestfriendko]

One reason to be optimistic about Ethereum over Bitcoin includes the fact that it is, as it stands, the “most widely used” and most stable network. Investors shifting funds to Ether is similar to what we would call a ‘flight to safety’ in traditional markets. Well known users of cryptocurrency expects that, "Ethereum will continue to grow not only in its value, but in the number of Dapps that are built on its platform. It will scale well this year, making it a “better place to be” over cryptocurrency darling Bitcoin–and that it will continue to show resilience."

Ethereum is very strong due to all ICO's are using erc 20 platform and this will gives more strenth to Ethereum.

You`re right, crypto evolves so fast and Ethereum must keep up the pass otherwise NEO can claim his throne So far it does a pretty good job and probably Casper will consolidate its position and will go ETH around $2,000. By the way, the Ethereum network ins`t congested anymore, the last couple of days all my TX`s went through really fast using even 0.3 gwei - I thought these days were history

Many people expect 2018 to be the year of action for Ethereum because as in 2017, many ICOs will accept the ETH and more projects will join the Ethereum ecosystem even if they will have a lot of Ethereum competitors in 2018. Ethereum also has a community of developers who are beginning to develop the Plasma feature that looks like the Lightning Network but for Ethereum. In addition, the main Ethereum developer, Vitalik, leaves the capital of Fenbushi to start working on Ethereum scaling issues.
