[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[ayamark789]

Although there are many friends around saying that ETH can be replaced by many tokens, it is still very high and has now stabbed $ 500

I see a lot of news that ETH is about to fork next month and that holders can get candy, is that true? This is the reason for the recent increase in eth Why?

Hi blackbird123!

Ethereum has still two planned hard fork on the roadmap: Constantinople (Metropolis phase 2) and Serenity. The first one is arguably going to happen mid-2018 when the latter release date is uncertain yet.

If by "candy" you mean having tokens in both the original chain and the forked one (like it happened with the three or four forks of the Bitcoin blockchain this year) the answer is no. This happens only when the hard fork is controversial (which was the case for the fork after the DAO back in 2016 which created ETH and ETC). When an hard fork is fully accepted by the community (it was the case with Byzantium in october and will be the case for Constantinople hopefully), no one mine on the unforked chain which therefore become totally unusable.

I think the recent increase in ETH price is more like a correction given that many new people entered recently the cryptoworld by buying Bitcoin (which is the chain with the more media coverage and marketcap - yet) but then founded that there is much more in the cryptoworld than Bitcoin (which can be pretty unusable these days). Another interesting way of seeing this is comparing the number of transactions on BTC and ETH chain with their respective price evolution. See a post about it here. You see that the price of ETH tokens is simply following the adoption when the current price of BTC can be qualified, IMO, of bubblish.

The future prospect of the Vitalik Buterin's ether Fang is still bright, although it is now facing the challenges of later show EOS, AE and so on. 1$did not get on the car, this year 500$, regret, life is so melancholy, though I still wish the ETH to go all the way.

Hi ayamark789!

See the opinion of Vitalik Buterin (somehow biased maybe but still valuable) on the subject during a workshop in Taiwan. All the chains trying to offer smart contracts are copycats of Ethereum right now and don't have close to what is the developper and industrial ecosystem working around Ethereum. So no, by now there is no token which can replace ETH.

And definitely not EOS (first joke in the video above  ). Even forgetting that they have no valuable product yet, remember that EOS is an ERC20 token powered by Ethereum blockchain.

It seems you didn't understand the meaning of this phrase in future EOS will become big challenge for ETH ecosystem although both are ERC20 tokens at the moment but they are working hard to build a parallel system.

I don`t want anything to do with Ethereum in the nearest future.When most of top altcoin gained profit up 2x, especially Bitcoin and Dash, Etherium looks too heavy and unwieldy for pump, but dumps very easy. Yesterday's events highlighted it`s total dependence from Bitcoin.

Yeah i think from the recent crypto buzz we have seen, ethereum always mostly not quick to pick up the pace as do other Alts, maybe because of its vastly used in ico's, i don't know, i do expect more from eth but Dash is really up in price now, looking solid at this stage, inspite of btc  forking shenanigans Dash stood its ground,

Ethereum naturally won't increase as much as other coins, simply because ICOs dump their Ethereum after collecting it to fund their projects. That's a significant downward pressure on the price of Ethereum that Bitcoin does not have.

As soon as bitcoin went down and the ether followed him down, I think the bitcoin drop to $ 5000 is inevitable. Bitcoin was too big for pampas

With the upcoming holidays and the december shopping craze, I think BTC price will not drop at all. Most probably in january or so.
Then in spring it will be listed on NASDAQ which means it will reach unebelievable ATH; hopefully ETH will follow the trends.

Ethereum is very impressed by btc pumplets, but it's a lot of subcoons, but ethereum 57 den 42 e dustu 2 gunde yanosi satoshi so it is not normal to lose value. If tomorrow btc is 15 dollars, ether will stay at 450 dollars. How to stay in 300 for 6 months now sit in 400-450 for 6 months now .

That has been very enlightened. I was always wondering, why Dash and Bitcoin just "go to the moon", but ETH only going up slowly.
Do you think that is gonna change anytime soon ?

[IncludeBeer]

is it true that Vitalik Buterin can HF Ethereum network any time if he want ?

It's true that anyone at anytime can fork Ethereum (and most other blockchains). That's one of the properties of a public, permission-less blockchain. It actually happens quite often, but those "forks" tend to be only a few blocks in length.

If or when the day comes we have bigger market cap
than bitcoin we will get all the mainstream news rather than Bitcoin..

So, what do you think guys about Ethereum Classic, will it be a better investment decision, comparing to ETH, for the short term (1-3 months)?
Mike Novograntz predicted ETH will rise to 1000$ by the end of the year, it is the only factor which makes me believe in ETH after 4 months of stagnation.

[moli1]

I think there will come a day/ week at some point in the future (2020?)
When all of crypto is going to hit a dramatic shift.
Blockchain will be more advanced and all the coins that people are trading will have to answer the question of "ya but are they actually being used?" Most will fail that test and there will only be a few survivors that will see a huge rise.
I think it will be sudden, dramatic, fast, bloody, and incredibly fun to see.

I wouldn't put any stock in ETC. Compared to  Ethereum, it's not being put to much use at all. If ETH hits $1k, it will be due to a one/a few Dapps/platforms gaining huge popularity.

[xibeijan]

Its not "if" ETH hits 1K, it's when ETH hits $1k, and then on to $3k and so on.  Ethereum has an amazing roadmap.  Nothing can erase the fact that this is the future of money.
