[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[henke1]

I also don't understand why people are comparing ETH with other projects. ETH is more established and have very strong support than any other project I think we must stay strong with this side because this is most important coin after Bitcoin.

maybe the (possible) 'margin-trading' on binance good for 'erasing' shitcoins ?

Vitalik answering on some questions  

amazing looks a lot alien

Are you sure? He's starting to look like a... human to me. In this interview, he looked quite confused at a few times; he didn't use to be like that before!

US CFTC Technology Advisory Committee discusses cryptocurrencies and DLT adoption

Currently, both Bitcoin and Ether rely on a proof of work consensus mechanism to validate their respective ledgers.  However, the Ethereum Foundation has announced its plans to shift to a proof of stake consensus mechanism at some point in the future, in part to reduce energy consumption.  The transition from proof of work to proof of stake consensus mechanisms raises important questions for both market participants and regulators, including how the use of either mechanism affects the likelihood that a bad actor could manipulate or falsify the ledger.  These issues are also among the many topics on which the Commission recently sought comment in a Request for Information about the evolution of the cryptocurrency market and potential new virtual currency-based futures and derivatives products.

Is the FOMO coin - I mean... EOS rising?
*Checking*

Come on be real... a 20% up in two days isn't that impressive.
Personally I get a bit sad when I see my favourite coins pump... it means I'll be accumulating less when they rise! Stability is good.

Vitalik Buterin: Crypto Must Leave Behind the Individualism of the Early Cypherpunks

This.

I hope people realise that crypto is about decentralization, it's bad for crypto to run after people who were early adopters.

UMA, a smart contracts platform, is bringing the S&P 500 to the blockchain with the launch of a new ERC20 token that’ll represent ownership in the largest 500 companies in U.S. financial markets, the company announced Wednesday.
UMA, an entity affiliated with Risk Labs, a Two Sigma Ventures-backed firm, also said the new token would trade on Beijing-based decentralized exchange DDEX, to start. MakerDao, the firm behind stable coin Dai, is also involved in the new token, per the release. Investors looking to buy the token are required to purchase it with DAI.

Tokenization is the new buzz word in the payment system at the moment. It is the process of adding an extra level of security to sensitive payment data

A VC backed startup, Universal Market Access (UMA), has just launched a smart contract with the project stating:

“USStocks is an ERC20 token representing synthetic ownership of an index of the 500 largest exchange-listed US stocks.

This means that anybody with access to the internet and digital money can participate in the US stock market.”

Today's Ethereum price is the ideal price to buy and accumulate. It's perfect for a 10x run to all-time high of $1,400 something. I'm sure when the price reaches ATH, the bears will short it. You can take profit from there and re-buy again at a later date.

I guess bulls are now accumulating their stocks of ETH and judging from the bullish trend and positive news for the whole crypto markets almost every coin seems a cheap buy right now but of course everyone must take a DYOR first before investing with any coins.

Bullrun ETH? Do you think this will happen? 1500 dollars? above? What do you think, will the halving of the BTC affect the bullrun?

we need prog pow to be implemented asap

There are others too, including probably Buterin who has very subtly made it fairly clear that he’s against ProgPoW.

 

Wu added that the ethereum network is already centralized to some extent, pointing to statistics that two major ethereum mining pools – Sparkpool and Ethermine – control over half of the network’s computing power.
He further cited rumors, without providing any evidence, that certain individuals involved in the ProgPow proposal directly report to the CEO of NVIDIA, a major maker of GPU hardware with a dominant market share.

a sharp rise in prices upwards can only be on very positive news. we have seen that technology is less important than news in almost all major projects. herd effect in action. one large partnership can give a rise in price more than the introduction of new pos or an increase in speed by several times.

Ethereum transactions have risen to a seven months high of about 650,000 transactions a day and have sort of remained in that range.

That means they’re not far off from doubling since February’s low of 380,000 transactions a day, with a constant rise seen this month
