[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[yinyangwinwang]

Etherium price is huge and it is much more that anyone can believe year ago. I think that one reason why Ethereum is still number two in the crypto world it is that Bitcoin supply is very limited and deflation component will keep the Bitcoin price on the top for along time.

That is partly it but mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum are two different beasts. Bitcoin aims to be a peer to peer payment network whereas Ethereum is based off smart contracts. It is like comparing apples and oranges you really can't do it. However I will say that this year Ethereum has potential to out perform Bitcoin especially because of Casper and the incoming POS system that will make Ethereum powerful.

ETH show good resistance aganist BTC falling, full throttle in 2018

I think the price of Ether in 2018, maybe even much up. There are many new project based on  Etherium ERC20 and only some on NEO. Plus I think Zero fork will bring some contribution to the development of Etherium. Personally, I haven't translate from the exchange to the exchange/wallets currency to bitcoin, I translate only through the Etherium - much faster and cheaper, although these advantages are all well-known. Another question is whether the Etherium will overtake Bitcoin in the nearest future? Wait and see!

Korean in very tech guys, so they will find a way if forbidden etc., crypto can't have borders

what is your opinion about Jaxx for storing ETH?

Jaxx is pretty good to store ETHs but not all tokens are supported in Jaxx wallet so for holding tokens MEW is the best.

Is it all abut Korean fud now? I think this dip is because of the coming Chinese New year that will be celebrated by all Asian.

ETH is a good buy with good function value as an platform for many of the ICOs. It is a medium to make ICO easier, so the value will hold and increase with the improvement of Ethereum too.

Hello there! Don't forget that today is a great day: you can get Ethereum Zero for free. Just keep your ETH in MyEtherWallet for example. Snapshot will be on 4936270 block.

I think you should start by reading the first page of this thread and other of their media's to learn more about ethereum. There is a lot to know about the project

guys, i am really confused here.

Is there  HARD FORK or not, i knew it was cancelled at one point but there is few posts going around now saying its back on.
so is it back on?! or is it some one trying to scam using old info. i do belive as well the new person on the ethzero channel on this website now claiming a new date for the fork which is 20th which is a date i never heard of befor, so can some one pls explain to me?!

Seems legit, it said 19th yesterday so i guess it is postponed to 20th. Anyway, there is i think 1:3000 ratio price-wise and 1:1 fork-wise, so for every 1 ETH you have, you recieve something worth 0,3 USD... not the deal I was hoping for... Not even worth moving ETH from the ledger...

if you referring to the info about the hard fork itself , we all know the info is legeit but we also know tht vitailk him self tweeted tht the fork is cancelled or put on hold so all you mentioned above is the info every one knew while back but after his tweet of cancelling the fork or put it on hold there were no more official update or news, its only today someone seems to revive those info but with a different date according to all official channels there is no hard fork and most of the news tht is going around indicating its happening on the 20th (tomorrow) and again i am referring to the dev team announceing the cancellation of the fork or putting a hold on it,any 1 here have any recent statement of official channel tht support the news of the fork go ahead?!

Vitalik's statement on 2018 (inspirational) 

2017 really has been the year where hype in crypto, including financial hype and social hype in general has far exceeded the reality of what existing blockchain systems can offer. There is a lot of attention, and a lot of eager expectation, but as far as reality goes the practical usability of blockchains has in some cases even regressed due to rising transaction fees.

I expect 2018, at least within the Ethereum space that I’m best able to speak about, will be the year of action. It will be the year where all of the ideas around scalability, Plasma, proof-of-stake, and privacy that we have painstakingly worked on and refined over the last four years are finally going to turn into real, live working code that you can play around in a highly mature form in some cases on testnets, and in some key cases even on the public mainnet. Everyone in the Ethereum space recognizes that the world is watching, and we are ready to deliver. 

Sounds good and I am sure they will stick to their promises. Long live Vitalik!

I think we can see Vitalik on steroids in 2018 

[dr.cheema]

Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum have seen plunging prices this week, sending investors into panic. But is the boom over for Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum? And what happens now?
