is ETH 'too big to fail'?

[Oakey22]

I think ETH is getting to the point now that it is becoming huge in the crypto space, everyone i know that talks about bitcoin keep refering to ETH too and LTC so the news must be getting out there.

I could see the value drop to around $100 though as everything is so speculative.

plenty of good points. i guess ethereum's master stoke was the erc20 thing. that makes ethereum indispensable to a large proportion of the other projects out there.

even if something better did come along, it's unlikely everyone will migrate. having said that it's early days still so there are millions of projects that don't exist yet. they're likely to head to ethereum all the same.

Yep. ETH is the largest compared to the present. 80% altcoin thing used by ETH platform. bitcoin the remaining 10% are the other platforms. It is very difficult for ETH to collapse or fail

Ethereum is not too big to fail in my opinion. It is one of the greatest coins with a great long term perspective. Everyone who holds their Ethereum for a couple of years will see some nice profit!

[ArifBestari]

I would not say 'too big', but too trusted. Many use it. It is not 100% guarantee, but makes failure less likely

At the moment, eth is the best solution for business applications. Most projects are based on eth. He has so much confidence among investors that he can not be a failure.

What? What? What? Whats the point?  Cryptos' future is uncertain, but the point is people and coin owner or creator is looking for another way of using their coin beside on pure business, their price may be crushed today but the certain point is people are still into it and that's a big factor.

Don't look at the current situation or don't check ETH/BTC pair as of now because it is being butchered by the king BTC.  ETH is definately a better solution for most of our problems but still BTC bull run can kill this coin for a shorter time. So patience is the key and wait for ETH season which would probably come after BTC season gets over.

Vitalik Buterin created perhaps the most important platform in the crypto industry after bitcoin. Do you still think that this is a scam? that's funny

[nsasuiteb]

No, I think eth is still too little, there is more chance for rising than decreasing in the long term. Bitcoin is also not too big, you should look at market capitalization of big companies.

[Socioman]

I think that the etherium at the moment is a very good and useful project that is developing. This year we will have many events. But do not forget that such projects already exist. Maybe in 2019 some platform will eclipse it.

[bitcoinposts]

Eth is built on solid foundation and right direction Eth Mainly because of smart contracts ERC20 tokens Eth based coins are coming daily 20 to 50 coins per day so Etherum future look so bright

[wuclx]

With all the ICOs on its back, it's really hard to see ETH fail at this point. It may need to regain some strength for further growth, but in my opinion ETH is for the blockchain what javascript is for the browser.
Despite its flaw and despite the 'better' alternatives, it will stay dominant for a long era to come.

[dulari1]

ETH is now reached to the point from where it cant be failure .
but yes in future they may be another coin with better network may replace ether position ,
but in that case too ether will be stable .

[jacaf01]

I don't think so, mostof these ICOs has Ethereum to thank because it was able to simplify the ICO process without you having your own platform, but the issue here is none of these tokens have real world use so far and another thing to consider here is that it is getting expensive to use the platform because the transaction fee is increasing and if one of the so called Ethereum Alternatives is able to solve the scaling and transaction issue, developers may jump ship and will have effect on the platform

[apur688]

I don't think so, ethereum is one of the top altcoin. Many people have tried ethereum for trading and investing. Many investors both big and small are incorporated in it. They believe that ethereum is an altcoin with the best prospects and potential for enormous success. Ethereum never reached more than $ 1000 / eth. By launching its own platform, ethereum is becoming more successful and more and more are looking to try ethereum. Although the current price of ethereum is down, but just keep your altcoin in 2 months, guaranteed ethereum prices will return to normal, even rising drastically. That's all my opinion, thank you

[cryptorobbo]

I bet that if we come to the point when ETH fails, it will be either due to diversification between familiar platforms, offering much or less the same features, which imo gonna happen within next 5 years (NEO, Strat, Waves, ZIL, WAN, TomoChain, DragonChain etc) and that will be good for blockchain, either all crypto fails, because ETH have too big impact in the crypto world to just fail.

[MfzbCoin]

It's obvious that there's no need for so many substitution COINS in the market, so sell all

[juicejoyce]

In my opinion, there is no coin that is too big to fall, you can see both btc and ETH dropped from a very high price, many other altcoins dropped even badly, so if most investors think it will drop, there is no other ways to stop that.
