[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[estenity]

STO's will "save" Ethereum and ETH. If proper STO's come, with regulator background, with good exchange backed by a regulator and these STO's will include crowdsale (not just stupid accredited investors) and maybe a regulator forms a new official security formed on Ethereum blockchain - than we have a winner! And I believe this is at the moment most probable outcome. But we are talking years. Even 5, even 10.

there are now competitors in this field, see waves which is largely positive in this bear market;
its STO will be at tokenomika.com, launched in january with deloitte association in Malta.

 Imagine that I am a bank! Or "Federal Reserve System".
I have my tokens! And my distribution rules. I can make turns on my tokens and buy presidents.
The number of tokens is not limited !!! I can every time I need to run a hard-fork, so that alt-coins do not affect my economy (my ecosystem).
And suddenly on my way cryptocurrency! I have 2 roads.
1. Forbid!
2. Scare away ordinary people!

 Forbid (Ban) - bad for my ratings. 
 Scare away - many ways.

Having unlimited access to financial resources. I will just start buying “BTC” and “ETH”, the remaining 95% depend on them.
It was necessary to panic - when it was unjustified, soared by 1000%. And now rejoice. Everything falls into place.
"ETH" will return the level to 140-200 and our project will help with this.

Well, we will be back where Ethereum has been started.. I started mining eth when it was 3-4$ and nothing new with me, that's the life of the crypto if you don't prepare yourself in this situation, you will be frustrated..

If I'm not mistaken, when ETH was 3$-4$ you could make about 1 ETH per day with a single GPU (the best one available).
Right now it'll always be unprofitable to mine anything while the prices are low. Farms with free power (or stealing power) will keep mining for a small profit, keeping the diff higher than ideal for home-miners who would mine for a loss.

Today, instead of mining, it's better to buy the coins you want with the money you'd burn in electricity.

[Freaks]

The only way the retail investors will come and buy Cryptos is when they see that BTC is about to break $10K and maybe ETH breaking $1000 again, they will think that both coins will reach new ATH and they will FOMO then, just like last time.

If eth price rises to $600 in a matter of days then trust me, it will hit $3000 few days after that, that is fomo.

Let's see when these amazing days will come at the moment everyone is in big stress due to ongoing panic situation. That is quite possible to see this kind of rise because this space is full of surprises.

That probably sounds like music to my ear but i am definitely looking forward to see that day comes sooner than later i mean who wouldn't, considering the current market conditions, Damn! Never thought eth would go below $100 again    but this is crypto, today you are rich...... tomorrow you are poor

Seems like Opera (web-browser) wants mass-adoption of Ethereum:

A Built-In Ethereum Wallet Just Got Added to Opera’s Browser

https://www.coindesk.com/opera-browser-with-built-in-ethereum-wallet-sees-public-release

“Until now using cryptocurrencies online and accessing Web 3 required special apps or extensions, making it difficult for people to even try it out. Our new browser removes that friction,” Charles Hamel, the product manager of Opera Crypto, said in a statement.

I've used it and tested it on Cryptokitties, I must admit that it's quite neat!

[denam]

You should be ready to expect anything in this kind of uncertain and suppressed hostile type market conditions. It is loss now to mine Ethereum under $130 and price doesn't look ready to cross the new psychological bearer of $100. At least in these spending days of this phase of the year as people have other priorities to spend money on. Next year may show us positive things happening again.

I already had Opera installed but never ever used that browser after reading your post the first thing I did was update my Opera and to try that built-in ETH wallet lol

I have already all-in ETH when its price dropped below $100 last month.
The only thing I can do now is closing my computer & relax....

God Bless Ethereum!

Best way to survive this bearish cycle is to ignore any so-called expert and use your own guts and mind to look at the things and think at possible outcomes of the development taking place. Those people who predict prices are not smarter than anymore but are in position of controlling the market in short term. I do agree with the post above mine why will these expert will want to make rich people for nothing. Those big players are stepping in this space and they are coming to make money form crypto so we can expect overall good.

[XCNP]

After long wait I bought at $198 per Ethereum having thought that was approximated bottom. Though it was wrong analysis but that range isn't bad because fresh bounce will take it over $200 again. Ethereum is to big and being used as back bone in many tokens to be failed. It is mega shaking out process that is logical explanation.

Ahm... nice diversity! Good luck with that! x)
Well, it may work out for you and I really hope it does, but you're going down a very risky road!

For example in my portfolio, my favourite coin equals 50% of my total crypto-investment.

[BluePowder]

The dumbest advice you can give is to ignore expert opinion but that's usually a confirmed eth scammer.  Do you think any big player would be interested in a ponzi shit coin that lost %98 of its value. I fail to see the logic here, after being bad for 98% and basically scam only, how do you convince someone its good again. It never was good, the value of ethereum beyond 70 cents is completely artificial and trading/scam related.

Eth will return to $200 based on what factors ?  There is still zero adaptation and usage outside of trading. Not even 1% is being used in a sustainable or legitimate way so why would anyone buy it for any reason other than the 1% which is for drugs or gambling.

The only reason eth is not under $1 right now is because its in the traders best interest to wind it down slowly.

It's Friday so look for the crazy russians and scammers with the next price is going up lines.

Yeah but loss and profit is part of the crypto and we can't ignore experts so we should also use our mind and make decisions.
BTW experts are controlling crypto market but they will not able to control anymore because SEC stepping in.
Best projects will be rise and fake pumps will be dumb very soon.  

[BluePowder]

Sorry bro but you a dummy .. that's the best way I can put it.

The entire SEC controlled stock market is a scam and now they're going to control the ETH.. give your head a shake. You probably don't read much so at least spend your weekend watching movies like Wall Street 1987. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/  and slowly graduate up to documentary level like Inside Job 2010. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645089/

If the SEC will strangle ICO projects, then Ethereum and BTC will not cost anything, because of their uselessness. Last year's pump was due in part to ICO.

[TeraBite]

Very stressful situation never imagine this would happen after touching 4 figures it ever pull back into 2 figures but this is crypto and everything is possible. Really panic sell happening everywhere and everyone want to sell this coins but nobody knows why he is doing this.

[gefander]

Friends, I do not agree with many of those who have a negative attitude to the price of Ethereum. I don't share your emotions. Yet at the moment, it is the most popular product that benefits. It's not just a function of transferring money on a speculative basis. There is a much more serious fundamental.

[BTCGOLD]

I do not know whether these unpleasant statements about Ethereum, is because of frustration associated with price drops, or FUD to make the price fall even more.
Only someone who has a very small idea of ​​cryptocurrencies may think that this is the end of ETH.
Now is a great opportunity to buy more.. We don't known on which next station this train will stop.
