[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[easyrimka]

Any experience with expediting a support ticket with Bittrex?
My ETH deposit that has 800+ confirmations has not been credited or even recognized by Bittrex for almost a day now,
usually it took only minutes.
100% confident I sent it to the right address as I've done this dozen of times before.

my transfer, 2days 1hour, 7000+ confirmation, and still not finished... Eth is future lol ...

I know today's ETH price
But I do not think that is the true value for today's present state of the wallet.


I like ETH and I wish you all the best ...but for me for today is useless

I'm sad to read this. Give MEW a try: it's giving you all the features of a good wallet without the hassle of running a full node (for which an HDD is definitively not good at, whether the blockchain you're at).

You can also try to use EtherWallet instead of Mist: you won't have Swarm installed then which will give your HDD some space.

See you soon I guess

Ethereum’s ERC-20 Token Standard Has Been Formalized https://t.co/EAG0NpUcp7
The standard that governs how new cryptographic tokens can be launched on top of the ethereum blockchain has been been finalized.
Revealed today by the open-source project’s developer team, the ERC-20 standard establishes a common set of rules for tokens issued via ethereum smart contracts, and currently serves as the basis for the many tokens that have been released through initial coin offerings (ICOs).

Is it even possible for ETH to decouple from BTC?
Apart from the ETH/BTC pair, there's all the alt coin pairs with ETH and BTC, how does it work if we decouple, wouldn't it just create constant arbitrage opportunities which would "re-couple" us?

An interesting question... Without being an economist myself, I'll say that ETH will never be totally decoupled from BTC while there is still BTC/ETH trading. In a future where the crytospace will be more mature, I guess the ETH/BTC pairing will be more like USD/EUR pairing: the two will be somehow independant but will continue to fluctuate together following some big macroeconomics factors.

Nowadays, BTC is still very dominant in the cryptospace: you can see that on the graph below (found in CMC). So the BTC going up and down is by know enough to be considered as a big macroeconomic factor worth following it. If you check on that other graph below, you will see that BTC losing 10% is like the US + Europe losing 10% GDP together: guess the Chinese economy won't be well in that case.

Alright. Here's what I think...

The strange price support of the last few days, which was pretty inexplicable but undeniably happened, looks like it's getting visibly a little stronger. Just a little. Prices bumping up a bit, dips reversing slightly higher, BTC volume still weak-ish but a little better than it was. The last few days looked to me like whales were keeping the price inflated, but it doesn't look like that now, this doesn't seem as insubstantial. I don't see any reason to think we're going to break upwards hard, but I really don't see any reason to think there will be a serious break downwards. There's just nothing suggesting that. So I think buying now is probably, at worst, a break-even proposition, a safer bet than it's been the last few days. We could still dive in the next few days, but I think the next few hours at least are most likely sideways or a little up again.
I just cautiously started buying back in for the first time in a few days. Still keeping some in fiat just in case. I have to go to bed soon, but I'm going to put in a stop-loss in case of a serious catastrophe. Try not to tank the market while I'm asleep, ok, fellas?
By the way, yippee, with sheltering in some well-chosen tokens while the big boys tanked or went sideways, I discovered I'm back in the black today after being a couple of percent down in the worst of it a few days ago.

Two or more whale bots passive-aggressively trying to convince each other that the market has run away from them.
Shake and bake.
You can see their state machine flip from "support" to "disorient".
The buy bot is doing slightly better timing things but is configured to stop at $315

I think many holders have a lot of faith in the ETH price and many people are saying very soon ETH is going to convert to POS than the price of ETH is going to be the moon. I think everyone who is holding ETH will have bright future for what you made till now.

[easyrimka]

ok guys, my transfer is still  in progress, i have now 10000 confirmations  and still not finished, since 2 days !
Whats going on ? what can i do ?

[kriptom]

ETH I'm slowly turning all my investments . I think it would be 1000-1500 dollars as of the end of the first quarter of 2018 .

When ETH will go to POS? Any ETA date?

Cryptocurrencies appear to be regaining poise following last week's news from China, with the ether-US dollar exchange rate (ETH/USD) rising to a four-day high of $316.73 today.

Such a move might first appear like a rebound. The digital currency fell to a low of $291 on Friday and extended losses to $276 over the weekend on both China's formal ICO ban, as well as its rumored ban on exchange trading.

Despite the recovery, however, there are signs ether is still feeling the heat of the ICO ban.

While ether moved above $300, the bullish move lacks substance as suggested by weak volumes. All in all, the cryptocurrency is having a tough time scoring big gains above $300.

I think there is no need to analyse the daily price change. The ETH price will rise in the long term.

Eth is pretty much getting hammered right now, I expect it to go down to 200 USD.

It's not ETH's fault, it;s just these cowboy speculators that  trade on Coinsbase or other centralized exchages. They can easily swap coins back and forth into fiat, while we the true ETH holders who have out ETH outside exchanges, take the hits.

Fkin fiat traders 

I think the short term price fluctuation is not a worry. As long as there are more usages, that is fine.

Hmm looks like I was right about the ETH crash , I think it will go further down to 200$.

And what you think will happen next? Im loaded with ETH, starting to feel little uncomfortable

this is crazy, now its 13k confirm , and still not finished

[Z1pp4]

If ETH will go down to 184$ then it is possible that the next check might be 138$ July low. And this might happen as we all se the whole crypto market bearish, however I really doubt that this hangover is long term reaction to ICO ban in China.

Ethereum is actually gives chances to people to buy at cheap and keep holding but people still are not understanding that Ethereum is to stay here. There are so many projects being developed and upcoming updates and features should be enough to keep buying when you can easily. Don't listen negativity and use your mind and facts to take good decisions always.

How you can be o sure about ETH staying low? From my experience I can tell that before every major update the price goes down ( thats what happened to LSK few weeks ago) then the price goes UP a lot

It is my opinion that this is the best course of action to maintain purchasing power (written 3 days ago):

https://steemit.com/money/@profitgenerator/profit-from-crypto-crash


I have already talked about this 8 days ago when the ETH price was still ~380$

https://steemit.com/money/@profitgenerator/what-to-do-in-a-price-crash


So if people had done this they could have saved ~100% of their purchasing power, while also profiting when ETH will go up again
