[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[IncludeBeer]

What we have seen in past POS leads to more centralization because to mint/stake tokens you need more and more tokens for bigger piece of pie. Many addresses don't even qualify for staking because of their weight which stays lighter than network. In case of Ethereum how these basic rules will change or what solutions will be introduced will remain to see. In market ETH looks in good mood to lead the market just like 2017.

The exact same argument stands for PoW though: it can lead to centralization because to maintain profitable conditions, you need to constantly upgrade HW for "bigger piece of pie". BTC is really the shining example here...
The main change Ethereum's PoS protocol will introduce is mitigations to outstanding attack vectors current PoS implementations have.

HEY GUYS
THERE IS 3 FORKS IN JANUARY??

https://tothemoon.live/?IsPast=False&Page=1&Month=0&Year=0&CoinTypes=Ethereum+%28ETH%29&SortBy=0

or 1 or 2?
Which is not real or scam? tell me please correct info i will add it to CALENDAR

Constantinopole is the main protocol update, whereas nowa is more likely a scam. On the other hand, ETCV seems to me more of an aidrop than a fork. I'm hopeful that Eth will regain its old glory and fame in the crypto space.

We need to more clever in investing money on projects, many people saying that there is only upgrade and one hard fork of ethereum that will happen on block #7080000
after this fork Ethereum will go more higher, as Ethereum growing now slowly but steadily.
Some shitty websites trying to spread false news about Ethereum fork.
As many people saying that Ethereum nova is a scam project and could be scam.

This is the time to buy ETH. This not a pump effect, ETH gaining slowly, i think we could say that bull time for eth has started. Grab it till u can.

Unfortunately, after the update, the price for Ether will fall if the market situation does not change. Now everyone is buying in order to sell after the upgrade.

That remains to be seen, it could be the opposite way.
Remember that ETH has been down already in the past, so this big update of the system is expected to work
and I am one of the believer that we will witness another good opportunity to enjoy again this year, price is at bottom already, time to pump now.

We are not in safe zone yet even with this huge significant increase during last days. I would keep watching for next clear move rather than loading more base on expectations. It is clear situation with HF totally different here but last couple month's ago one famous HF took place and thing went quite contrarily to what people expected. I also think here that isn't case but already market has gained much that is I am looking at carefully.

Does anyone know if the block time will also be decreased together with the reward?
That could compensate a bit the smaller reward.

I thought this is effective to reach the star, You're absolutely right. Some investors still believing on this coin also me. I bought bunch of ETH but I am nervous to lose some money, But my faith said I can handle this thing and it will win in the end.

why ETC rekt and ethereum soars?

It would be better if you stop making any comparison with ETC. This is dedicated thread for ETH so you should keep focus on this coin and enjoy the ride which could be more higher in coming days. This is just beginning of this big rally.

Of course, everyone will be very interested in what happens after the update and everyone is waiting for growth. Because everyone who wanted was already purchased.

I couldn't make it past the first sentence. Obviously amateur journalism
"Ethereum couldn’t take its demotion over Ripple and recently, Ethereum gained back its second position and is working towards retaining the position forever or longer."

Well, you can not blame him, he tried his best to get attention from people in order to get the traffic for his website.
not the first time we are seeing this kind of news right? and it will not be the last time either.
talking about the others 2 so-called 'ETH hardfork', one of them is forking the codebase but people only know that fork will be giving us a new coin but the truth is, it will be an upgrade for the system itself instead of the chain split. and the other one is 'scam'.

It is very good description of the upcoming upgrade. I might accumulate more ETH in the coming days.

Before switching to PoS, only two sorts of crypto guys can earn Ethereum:
1) Miners, of course.
2) Investors, who don't have rigs, but have enough money to loan rigs in mining rigs providers, such as Nicehash, etc.
For those guys, PoW or PoS are not too different, but it is surely that PoS is much better for them.
Additionally, PoS for whatever coins is always more environmental friendly. It supports the idea to switch from PoW to PoS for Ethereum network.
The ETH network is one of the biggest ones in crypto ecosystem, hence has potentially one of biggest impacts on environment from its mining operations globally.

Technically speaking it gives an equal chance and opportunity for all to stake and get rewarded, before switching to PoS only miners can earn by mining eth, rest of people who don't have a clue or cannot mine will result to buy eth and still you get nothing for hodling in your wallet whatsoever,

Weak hands are always weak hands.
They will shake their hands all out at the right time when they lose their faith in the market.

Now the story is different, instead of having idle eth in your wallet, stake it and get rewarded, price will always be affected either way,
other coin/token without POS or POW still have their price affected, demand and supply will determine the price, bottom-line now is soon pos will be available to all and people can make decision to stake or not, i don't see the risk here.
