i bet eth will be a shitcoin

well that gave me a chuckle, thanks

unfortunately even if we laugh at anything at ETH right now, it won't be a shit coin, basically ETH will be interesting in the future looking at the results after yesterday's merger, I believe it needs a process to become more powerful

Sounds like the easy solution is to place your bets with shorts or futures contracts rather than whatever it is you're doing here.

Would have made you some money had you acted when you posted.

In my opinion, we will soon see a battle between btc and eth. one cannot ignore the fact that ethereum is now more in line with the principles of green mining than bitcoin

Are you guys prepared for the dumpening??

The merge was the last straw. Now it will be only sell pressure in the next 12-24 months.

How low do you think it will go before all is said and done??

[estenity]

finally the goal of the whole ETH merge-move is unclear...

waiting for manageable explanations, this was at least dangerous.

Seems like the opposite to me. 90% less issuance, and the exodus of miners that are forced to sell to recoup electrical / hardware costs? Pretty sure that's less sell pressure to me by the very nature of the game.

How low can things go though? I guess fairly likely is another 10-20%. I would say more unlikely is a 30-40% drop. I have a hard time seeing more than that personally. So the high hundreds I would see as a hard floor for ETH.

I think it will be different. ethereum is now becoming almost a deflationary asset. and I see no reason why eth will be dumped heavily. it is possible that there will soon be more motivation for stackers

ETHw ftw. 
Where else are 2M miners supposed to go? ERGO? RVN? Those don't have legs. Have you seen the 500% in diff for almost all other GPU mined coins? Now wait for the income dumping to pay for mining. No one holds ERGO or Vertcoin for the long term.

Luckily for them it's just GPUs. They can repurpose them a number of ways, like gaming. And selling them off even.

There are expectations that the rate of decline will be much more than that and may exceed 40 percent.
I find that this is normal due to people's fear that modernization will not succeed, especially since many experts have spent the past months discussing the disadvantages of modernization compared to its advantages.
Trading platforms will play a major role in restoring users' confidence in the network, which will always be linked to the contribution of miners to support it.

I think it will be different. ethereum is now becoming almost a deflationary asset. and I see no reason why eth will be dumped heavily.

The current dump was due to the overall market going down. But I'm sure that it's going to be more of a deflationary asset and that's the same with bitcoin.

it is possible that there will soon be more motivation for stackers

It's just going to be a matter of time and we'll that the recovery comes in and everyone would again say that they should have bought when it's low as it is now @ $1200.

Miners dumping ETH and liquidating combined with selling their GPU-s as prices drop and only a few coins are to mine but even those are in the RED.
Add to this the problems of Global Economy and Global Politics being heated like Russia/China mingling and facing economic slowing which can easily turn out to be a collapse esp China.

IMO, most of the miners after the merge, they've turned off their rigs and just waiting for that opportunity for another coin to be mined. It's still testing the waters before they come and turn on their rigs again.
About the global issue, it has its part on the market as to why we're experiencing this downturn. It's very likely that due to it, most of the markets have been affected by it and we can't do anything about it.

in other words it seems like now might be a bad time to invest? need advice so when do you think is the right time to invest, is it a week or a month? because I want to invest in eth

No one will ever know, especially not on this forum. But in fiat prices, the price is relatively low and seems like not a bad spot. You could wait for it to dip a little lower, but you run the risk of course of it never getting that low. You need to make your own risk/reward calculations.

ETH has a lot of stuff attached/built on it, some of its mass comes from being in the first projects of its kind and successfully taking off.
I don't see a worthy successor yet - successor to POW + a Network with multiple layers like ETH, there are pretenders but they couldn't beat ETH and wont be as it switched to POW basically retiring on its own terms.

tperkara: Things are unstable and not in a good way - if we can even classify them like bad and good, which is kind of simplistic. You take risks can you live with and handle it?   I think stagnation can take a while and  prices will jump (down to) between a wider scale. Plan for mid/long term.

There is a bear market going on! We are in a downtrend! You should trade with the trend. I have only been shorting for months because I have to eat. This does not mean that I ignore holdings for the long term. Shorting is how I hedge them. Additionally, I hold long-term investments for both the money and the cause!
