[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[Tyr808]

So ETH is going to use sharding to increase transaction speed?

Cobra in this post pretty much sums up the current state of ethereum scaling https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.msg38125804#msg38125804
I like sharding since it's onchain but we need to wait some time before it actually becomes practically viable.
In the meanwhile it's good that more and more developers are starting to invest time in offchain solutions, like Raiden and the new promising Striim. Thinking like a capitalist, Raiden has had a great success and hubii/striim will probably follow. Which is going to be a great thing for ethereum as more and more teams will become interested in doing their part to improve the ethereum network.

Agreed.
Imagining a future where ethereum network will be aided by internal solutions like sharding and multiple external offchain ones such as Raiden and Striim makes me think it will be the #1.

Eth + onchain scaling + offchain scaling will make ETH the king.

Ethereum's community model is relatively mature, which is very helpful for the development of coins, so firmly holding ETH will have a good return.

Ethereum has entered a new adjustment cycle, and this adjustment target will be around $488. I have already prepared some USDT to wait for this price to buy.

I don't think it will go below $500. There will just be too many people jumping in to use the opportunity and get a good entry point.

You never know what the goals of the big guys in this game are. If they want to see the price go below $500, they will make it happen.

The true explanation is that  in the past two years  there has formed a critical mass of new and ambitious exchanges capable of market manipulation. They can move ETH price in either direction.

will ethereum be the 1st crypto in the world or BTC have the place forever?

Loh please all go in dick,all you wil threat by me and kick from forum,pederasts

To be honest I don't have any hope any time it will surpass the father of this ecosystem. Ethereum will have more tough competition so many alternative is about to ready to provide more better services let's watch what future will bring to this community.

The ETH might not be. The BCH might be.

But that doesn't work without risk even for the big guys. It also isn't possible for all the big guys to cooperate, so one big guy might crush another one. The market isn't big I know, but it's not so tiny anymore and pushing it in one way or the other can be risky.

BCH seems to be a very marketing-heavy project, whereas Ethereum is starting to get more and more third party implementations such as the previously mentioned scaling solution like Raiden and Striim, plus can count on a very active development community which is non motivated by self-interested.

well i like striim scaling scaling.
ethereum is developing more and more and they sould because in future there will be competitors of eth
so who have the best development implementation and up to date will be the #1 but for now BTC remains up from eth
and i think eth network is already huge and far beyond from its competitors in developments

WTF just happend that ETH dropped nearly 10%? 

[anobtc]

WTF just happend that ETH dropped nearly 10%?  

Many ICO going to run their main net in upcoming time. So i think they start dumping ETH to convert to fiat for their development purpose. And combine with this bearish market.

[nick1492]

Just bought ETH, it fell, so I bought. I still believe ETH will move like BTC. Now, on our country, you can change ETH directly to our local money. Before you can only exchange BTC to our local money. But now, you can. So, I believe that these central banks are now allowing ETH to be one of the most trusted coins on crypto. That's what I think.

The right choice if you have to bring the ETH to fiat, because that's where the safest place for now, the possibility of falling worse so it can get a lot more when buying.

but what if this is already the dippest? I really have a hard time making analysis on fiat/crypto market. I am closely eyeing on ETH as I am planning to buy more. I haven't sold and make cut loss on my previous holdings as I felt long term is still very healthy here.

In which country you are living where central bank is allowing people to buy directly from bank account. This is breaking news I'm not aware of this kind of revolution if that is happening than it is good sign for the great future of this token.

There will be more ETH usage in the smart contract application. So the price will rise a lot again.

i think so too. it's only a matter of time and the price of ethereum will rise again. i still think ethereum will reach the price of bitcoin one day.

For now that is still the case I guess but I think that will also change even more in the future. People can easily access the markets and purchase cryptos they like, which means less control in the hands of a few.

Basically right, but we have seen much larger markets than crypto having been manipulated in the past. Not sure how that compares to crypto though, but the motivation to profit from manipulation will always be there.

It will not be that easy to immediately overcome bitcoin. Bitcoin is bitcoin. The mother of all coins. But surely, algo of bitcoin is being surpassed by the new coins. Ethereums infrastructure are slowly being layed world wide. When more and more have used it and experienced it. Transaction payments, sending and receiving money. Knowing a much lower transfer fees. May be later, it can surpass bitcoin. Time is an essence for ethereum.

Always going to be an interesting question whether Bitcoin might one day lose the lead. It would certainly be a crazy day
