Ethereum: Past, Present, & Future by Taylor Gerring

watched this last night, great info on Casper (pos) Virtual mining.
From around 58mins. The whole talk is excellent.

Also this today...http://www.coindesk.com/first-ethereum-startup-funding-investor-says/
For Blockchain VCs, the Time for Ethereum Investments Has Come

ETH price drop is nothing as the amount of buyers and speculators waiting to buy cheap is very very high.
Get ready for big things soon guys....

Great information.

Dump you premined ETH and keep BTC. BTC is going to boom very soon!

I am not convinced of this at all. BTC is stagnant.

Bitcoin is stagnant at the moment. But the price will rise soon because of the halving. It could double.

I warned you that BTC was going up! Dump your ETH for BTC before it`s not too late!

The price is dropping fast, but the mining difficulty is still rising fast. So people are still interested in it despite the price drop.

surprised to see that eth didnt go too much down after btc pump

When you say pump it usually means dump.. I wonder why?  
Maybe you have too much ETH?

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/ethcore-raises-financing-round-as-first-venture-capital-funded-ethereum-startup-1461343599
Ethereum startup Ethcore has raised $750,000 in a preliminary, pre-seed funding round led by Silicon Valley-based Blockchain Capital and Shanghai-based Fenbushi Capital.
The startup was also awarded a grant by the U.K. government’s Innovate UK to create a “next-generation foundational distributed ledger platform for institutional communication, authorisation, and consensus.”  
What Is Ethcore?
Ethcore was founded by Ethereum co-founder and former CTO Gavin Wood. Along with Vitalik Buterin, Wood co-designed the Ethereum protocol and took a lead in various parts of the Ethereum ecosystem, including devising the Solidity programming language, refining the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and writing the acclaimed Yellow Paper, the first formal specification of a blockchain protocol.
Gavin Wood told Bitcoin Magazine:
“We have developed high-level designs for tackling scalability and privacy that can help us overcome some of the problems and help in various settings. They'll be implemented over this year  . We'll expect a much more scalable public blockchain in the next couple of years.”  

and maybe another killer dapp like slockit,augur.......REGIS, http://regis.nu/index.html  ( beta)
http://allcoinsnews.com/2016/04/21/consensys-regis-platform-enables-registry-creation-management-on-ethereum-blockchain/
likely use cases for Regis include auctions, updating contracts, and registries for land or natural resources.

Major exchanges add support for the Standard DAO Framework

Unbeknownst to many, we’ve spent the last few months contacting major exchanges to educate them around the importance of supporting smart contracts, ‘meta coins,’ DAOs and other type of digital assets on the Ethereum Network. Today we are proud to announce the results of this work.

Kraken, Gatecoin, Bity, ShapeShift and Bittrex are all going to support the open source Standard DAO Framework

But if being DAO is so cool, why Ethereum (aka Vitalik & Co) is not a DAO?

the cause is: consensus about strategic decisions is nearly impossible.
