[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[RivAngE]

Ethereum will gain #1 spot soon because Ethereum has lot of second layer solution coming up it would not be surprise if it reaches 5k anytime soon . Eth had already ATH At 1500 usd..

The fact that Ethereum had reached an ATH of 1500$ doesn't mean much, it only means that one or more crazy people bought Ethereum for 1500$. Do you want to set their actions as an indicator?
Ethereum is an utility blockchain while Bitcoin is a store of value.
If anything has a chance of overtaking Bitcoin that'd be XRP which is also a store of value and it's deflating over time... no that I think it's possible for this to happen in the next 5 years at least...

Can not disagree with you that who bought ETH at $1500 last year were crazy, extremely crazy.
Fortunately, I believe that they will have chances to get out because some day Bitcoin will hit its all time high, as well as Ethereum.
There will be another wave of crazy guys to buy ETH at its new all time high, years later.

I totally agreed with you, RivAngE.
Bitcoin is a store of value, like Gold for ages.
Ethereum is one of means for daily transactions/ expenses, like other real altcoins. I don't mention scam, shitty altcoins here.

Now that Samsung included the blockchain wallet in their phone do you apple will follow and release iCrypto?

Im interesting: how many Samsung users worldwide? I mean, how many people should buy Samsung S10? This really might bring popularity to crypto?

I am also Interested. Well I think many other mobile companies will follow Samsung and they will introduce Blockchain in their upcoming new models.
Not sure about Apple that they will adopt blockchain in their next model or not but if happens in future then bull run confirmed!

nobody is crazy to buy at 1500 you are talking like people who bought bitcoin at 1 usd and sold at 50 usd were smarter and the one who bought at 50 were crazy..

Hot news   - SEC Chairman Clayton just confirmed Commission staff analysis that found Ethereum (and cryptos like it) are not securities.


SEC Chairman Jay Clayton

https://coincenter.org/link/sec-chairman-clayton-just-confirmed-commission-staff-analysis-that-ethereum-and-cryptos-like-it-are-not-securities

View from an attorney

Drew Hinkes, an adjunct professor at NYU Law and Athena Blockchain general counsel, pointed out to Decrypt  that the statement merely confirms Clayton’s position, not that of the Commission. “Clayton’s statement is a staff member’s statement agreeing with a prior staff member’s public statement,” he said. “Although there is political capital necessary to make these public statements, they do not create or establish the law for these topics.”

Hinkes added that the statement does at least confirm that there is a system of “internal analysis used by the regulator when considering the status of certain instruments.” Yet this is “not as useful as guidance, rulemaking, a regulation, or a law would be for issuers” and leaves startups—and their lawyers—“unclear as to whether offerings should be structured around these comments.”

In other words, we’re still in the dark.

“Did Clayton endorse the SAFT framework? (No),” industry lawyer Marco Santori summarized in social media comments. “Nor did he say that Ether is not a security. Words have meaning, though, and so does diction. It’s tough to ignore these letters and everything that goes into them.”

However, until now it was never fully clear whether Hinman was communicating official SEC policy or his own personal views. Previously, Clayton had said that he did not consider Bitcoin a security, but he had declined to address other assets, including Ethereum.
The distinction is crucial. A securities classification would have likely seen Ethereum booted from US cryptocurrency exchanges, and the SEC previously warned that exchanges that list illegal securities could themselves faces repercussions.
This increased regulatory clarity could further help spur institutional adoption, as questions surrounding cryptocurrencies’ legal status has been identified as one of several roadblocks to convincing more institutions to become active in the crypto space.

I like this picture. He is the central figure in all this. How can one man have so much power. Everybody is listening to him as if he were god.

Market share for Samsung sure is a wide thing if we are describing on how large they have worldwide. Think of a news and on how it can move the market and with this application and inclusion to their mobile which gives the users idea that crypto isn't just all about the bad things that these people have heard from the people who love to spread FUD.

There are lots of Samsung users worldwide. According to an article, I read the company is expecting to sell more than 20M units of S10.

You should stick with Hardware Wallets like Tezor or Ledger to store your ETH, if you find other ETH wallets unsafe.

I too think there are not much of decent wallets for holding ETH and at the same time keeping the funds safe.


If you are specifically finding a online wallet to hold ETH, I would recommend using Blockchain wallet at the best as it already supports ETH.

I like Eth it has amazing Team and development. Hoping the next update soon

What is the problem to use MEW for this purpose I didn't understand about your concern to use that wallet. MEW is being used among the ETH community from a long time?

[Buttermellow]

Until now ethereum.is one of an establish altcoin crypto in the market. I do believe in this coin and probably it has more trading number of transactions compared to bitcoin though it consist only of few.amounts per trade if compare to bitcoin. As we all know that other investors made huge transaction with btc so and to which we could see how great is the coin market cap.

mew themselves state its not advised to type your private key into their site, has been reports of them being compromised in the past. surely with such an advanced currency this is not such a big ask?

[Freaks]

Ethereum is growing more solid from last 3 months as compare with any other coin and still sitting on 2nd position. I think this is good achievement for this coin and still it has big space available if we will see this in wider scenario than it is very safe investment for bright future.

Wait, what? Ofcourse you can use your ERC20 tokens with Ledger! I know because I'm using one!
Ledger Live (the wallet's software suite) might not have a dedicated screen for the ERC20 tokens, but you can add any token in MetaMask and then link your Ledger with MetaMask.
It's totally safe because whatever transaction you request from MetaMask's interface will need to be internally signed from your hardware wallet, your private keys never leave your hardware by design.

You can also use MyEtherWallet with your Ledger, after MEW loads your wallet it'll find all (most?) of your tokens and if anything is missing you can add it manually using the token's address.
From reading your post, I understood that you though you can't connect Ledger to MyEtherWallet, sorry if I misunderstood something.

Ethereum Co-Founder Joseph Lubin: Blockchain Can Benefit Artists, Journalists :

“I think artists in the music industry on average capture about 11 or 12 percent of the value in the industry and those big record companies are sucking up 70 or so percent. We can replace those record companies with smart contracts on the Ethereum platform.”

In regard to journalism, Lubin said that blockchain-driven platforms like Civil could help the “gutted” journalism industry to deliver content directly to the consumer and “return ethics to journalism.” Lubin said that a platform like Civil allows newsrooms to form a code of ethics and stake that security bond on the platform:

The tour will start March 26 in San Francisco and continue across the US.

On March 6, the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub) announced it will be traveling the country and conducting face-to-face meetings with FinTech startups and entrepreneurs.

According to the SEC's announcement, the first meetings will be held in the SEC offices in San Francisco. After this, the FinHub staff will travel nationwide to facilitate "local peer-to-peer" meetings in which members of the FinTech community will have the chance to ask SEC representatives questions about regulations, projects, or any concerns. Participants can also discuss wide-ranging issues or even provide the SEC with a presentation about the projects they are working on.

The meetings will begin on March 26, 2019.

Interested parties are required to fill out a request form and can also upload any pertinent information about their company or projects, such as white papers, research material, or presentations.
