[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[piebeyb]

While everyone hopes of short term price change, let's not forget the next in turn hard fork of Bitcoin which for sure will influence the price of all alts.

The same thing as I think too, bitcoin prices will keep going up and make all Alt prices go down

The problem of Ethereum now days is that, smart contracts are used mainly for token creation and those tokens are used in scammy ICO's and new scammy projects, like Ethereum Dark, Ethereum Gold, Ethereum Cash, Ethereum Blue and many others. Ethereum platform itself became a holy grail for scammers thanks to ERC20 token creation possibility.  

This is one think I'm wondering for quite some time now!

How can this shit coins (and there are a lot lately) affect negatively ethereum?

Perception alone can prevent people from investing.  For example, having a lot of bad projects on your platform is just as bad as having no projects on your platform.  People forget that Ethereum is an open-source platform for decentralized applications, first and foremost.  And it's a currency, second.  If the first part doesn't fulfill its mission due to lack of adoption, bad DAPPs, poor leadership, etc. all of it can impact the demand... and as a result the price will fall.

This is one of the reasons why I don't believe in Waves as a platform or a high performing asset in the long-term.  It's way to easy to create a token and as a result, the projects on the platform are very poor quality.

Is this year the price could reach $ 500, I can not wait for the price of $ 500.

I think overall Ethereum is a better chance of increasing dramatically than other currencies. It seems to have more uses and things requiring Eth.
I believe that after the hard fork, Eth will jump back in value. It dropped less than BTC did with the Chinese announcement.

[rafzalan]

Ethereum is a better investment than btc, cuz btc have already a lot of competitors that sell better product with lower fee, but Ethereum services is far better than any platform and very well is going forward these days with many updates and new features.
The only thing i have doubt about is holding its fuel may not be the right way to invest on Ethereum,  I dont know how much is the supply side of ether. And the fact that Ethereum network like any service provider wants to lower the service value and a cheaper fuel meens more customers and more earning for network by more fuel in turn.

There is no use of smart contracts in real business and Ethereum platform itself became a holy grail for scammers thanks to ERC20 token creation possibility.   

that was a clueless comment, well done.

oh sure he is right, you are just a fanboy trying to defend his iphone
ETH have spread scams, shit ICO, shitcoins, shit project, thats all it bring to crypto community, and its the only coin doing this. They need to rename smart contract to smart scam

It is a tool, like any utility it is users that choose how to use it.

How Second-Layer Solutions Enable Private Transactions and Help Ethereum To Scale https://t.co/I5e1mUEAdc
the Byzantium hard fork led by the Ethereum Foundation and its open-source development community featured a scalability solution similar to SegWit, which removes the root of the transaction state tree, leading to faster transaction processing and overall network scaling.

what ? rofl. So many clueless kids here, hahaha.

I sold all my Ethereum a long time ago but I know this token has already a lot of commercial use and a bright future.

Looks to me that you are the real pathetic fanboy here... I blame your parents

First, you're dead wrong on the bolded. You must be young in the crypto world.

Second, maybe "they" need to update car to murder vehicle, because some people like to get drunk, drive and don't give 2 shits how that affects others.

Ethereum is an open source utility protocol.  If you really believe your words, you should consider taking a step back and rethinking a lot of things.

Maybe they have stopped exchanging their altcoins to bitcoin now so everything will calm down.
It might stay at $300 so it is the best time to buy.
After the fork they might buy back all the altcoins that had been sold for the preparation.

Reading this now is like time travel...

[maioran]

hopefully ether will go up again... but for know its a good tim to rebuy I think

[XCNP]

My last buying is still profitable but aren't the results which everyone was talking about before the hard fork. Aren't the new features fully functional or what is causing to new rally as my opinion is we need increase in price in order to get more people on  board. Masses join when price are climbing up in any project.

https://localethereum.com/  The peer-to-peer ether marketplace has opened trading! Buy or sell ether today from more than 800 offers in 80 currencies.
In its first two days, localethereum helped traders complete nearly 100 over-the-counter exchanges worth a total of ~$US60,000. While this number looks slim next to high-frequency exchanges, it’s a terrific start and the trading volume continues to grow rapidly as more jump on board.

Now btc looks more stable at around $5500. Im thinking now btc will move to altcoins. And one of the first one will be the eth. My target is 0.1 btc per ether. Which we already saw couple months ago.

that is right. The ETH has risen over the last few days.

[The Crypto Peasant]

With bitcoin correct im sure we will see money come into ETH, also should see more money as ETH itself is post fork now
