[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[benthach]

How do you guys currently feel about ETH? I bought around 18 ETH when the price was around 225 but now the has dropped a lot.

Be strong, my friend. At least, you did not buy at $1500, so you are fine for many others. Secondly, there are two time in the past, altcoins witnessed such terrible months, and they (good altcoins) recovered from that and had their bull year, like what we saw in 2013 and 2017. So, be strong, and believe in Ethereum as well as other top and years-old altcoins, which already survived over two terrible periods. They all will not make you dissapointed.

For now, I am holding strong I started doing some trades on binance using those ETHs because it's helping me re-trace my loss ($ wise) and increasing my ETH bag.

When the new wave of ICO starts, the price of ETH is sure to rise.

next crypto wave is not going to be ico, ieo, bno or dingo, i can tell you that. the easy free money is gone.
next crypto wave is going to be dapp, mark my word for it. useful and killer dapp would make it own money.

Eth for sure is one difficult coin to hodl because it is not as fast in terms of price growth as btc but am still hodling my Eth very strong, can't afford to sell now, I know this could be a long ride but am sure at the end it will be worth it, eth has come a long way.

That is my feeling also. Still waiting on the revolutionary dapp. It won't be games, it'll be some enterprise level dapp that gets adopted by corporations worldwide is my guess. I sometimes wonder if devs are waiting on the Ethereum network upgrades before fully committing though. So far the reality of eth dapps hasn't lived up to the hope.

There's still a big potential that ethereum will pump. 18 ETH is obviously a good investment for it. Time will come you will realize it's worth to wait as you will gain big profit from it.

This time or maybe this year I don't see any reason for ETH to grow strongly beyond the upcoming upgrade, but that's not enough. ETH still can be mined, and ICO trend is over, that's mean ETH will come to its real value.

[ePesoInitiative]

I believe ETH price keeps falling because the currency has not lived up to its stated purpose: BTC, but with DApps.

Until developers start proving that ETH actually has unique utility, its going to keep bleeding. There needs to be that proverbial "killer app" that people adopt en masse, and that simply could not have been possible without ETH's unique blockchain tech.

The same goes for any altcoin whose value proposition was "Bitcoin with DApps", really.

Naaah. Only noobs fall for narratives for every price action. Ethereum and all the other altcoins are bleeding because their prices have fallen 90% from their ATHs. The reason behind it is crypto-wide. You cannot blame one coin.

It looking really hard for new project to achieve their target like what happened in 2017 when there was a big hype for this blockchain. At the moment there are so many competitors in the market but ETH is more strong than before.

some projects in 2017 and 2018 were scams and some are dead because of poor performance of their team only few project are good and their team is delivering what they promised but slowly. it seems people still needs time to be used to crypto blockchain 

Yeah no doubt scammers got enough by scam projects and many project's intention were to scam people and many projects were dead reason lack of money, now we are seeing that new projects are not coming because people aware from scam projects so folks investing on BTC, ETH and on top coins/tokens. Well Ethereum is not moving up nor down, something bigger could happen in near future.

Fees are 10gwei for the last week. Also price stabilized and ETH gained against Bitcoin. Although fees started rising first.
The fees/Eth-price correletion is not based on demand, but on technical pump of fees from miners.
1 gwei fee was doing wonders for most projects. 10 gwei is only good for miners.

Nope. Crypto projects don't have relations and experience for working with business. So many years have passed and practically nothing is used. Ripple and ethereum the rest just a little bit.
All partnerships, all pilot project launches come from large corporations. One of the leaders among corporations is IBM, among the platforms is the Hyperledger. Ethereum used as a private version basically.
And I don't see the prerequisites for change. Perhaps something can be offered to small business, but not large, that's for sure. And not soon. First, the blockchain should take its place among the major financial, insurance, transport and logistics companies as well as identification and voting. And it will be private blockchains and private dapps from old enterprise companies. Just check the news.

Even the ICO trend is over, but there are some exchanges still asking for ETH investment in IEO, look at the market situation is completely reversible. It is impossible for ETH. To recover its price and nobody doesn't know how long it is going to take for ETH to recover its price.

Why did you think it was a good idea to buy so much ETH and hold them in a wallet? What value do you expect to come to ETH?
I agree with this guy,

This time or maybe this year I don't see any reason for ETH to grow strongly beyond the upcoming upgrade, but that's not enough. ETH still can be mined, and ICO trend is over, that's mean ETH will come to its real value.

What you can do is buy on-chain assets which have real value because people want them but they are scarce (unlike Ethereum coins).
Personally I like Axie Infinity (All the info can be found in this thread)
I'd suggest you to buy one of the limited quantity "assets", either being one of the 4088 Origin Axies, or one of the about 1400 Mystic Axies or one of the lands which will allow you to place your Axies into and send them to PvE battles and events or farming areas (then you use the items you get to build structures and craft items that upgrade your Axies).

You can also use your Axies to play in tournaments that are occasionally happening in order to win tournament money (usually in Ethereum).


So if you ask me, right now it's like you're having your money under your bed grabbing dust.

I agree with this guy,

The main reason I decided to buy ETH was because of the ongoing talks about ETH finally switching to PoS model. When ETH switches to PoS I think then the price will really start going up.

Good move for Ethereum,partner with hyperledger.
Joseph Lubin, co-founder of ethereum, is to join the governing board of the Linux Foundation-led blockchain consortium Hyperledger.

Whether they delivered or nor is not relevant anymore. The question is, whether the fact, that new features are being released, is enough for coins to enter the pump stage. Or, is this just a blind selling spree and the whales are the only ones who make up this game. I dont think industry has matured yet. Maybe the next year, towards the end of the next year.

I don't hodl any eth at the moment but I believe the price fall does not affect eth only, it cut across all other coins/tokens we have in the market right now, some were affected more than others, btc has not given alts the opportunity to grow, it keeps dominating the market, I believe the situation will turn around soon.

when $1.00?

Thanks, I'll take a look at Axie Infinity, seem like Pokemon Go a bit, i need time to learn about its mechanisms.
And right now I'm just holding BTC and USDT, when market trend is still not clear. Find a right place to put my money is really hard

  Positive news but ETH as well as other altcoins, No growth momentum and is being dominated by BTC.

Owning 1 btc doesn't make sense cuz they could make their own crypto why btc will  be 1 million nobody will use centralized lightning network.. Btc cannot be 1 million its only hype thats buying btc.. Your better off buying digibyte as its more secure then btc.. Network hashrate doesn't make it secure cuz 2 pool has maximum Hashrate to kill btc. Btc has high hashrate cuz of high powered asic machines that doesn't mean anything.. Don't get into the delusion that btc will ever be 1 million it's hype hype. If btc has to be 1 million it needs a fork and that's bch as it has lowest fees.. The entire media promotes btc so what are u buying ? Your not putting your money into decentralized network. Anyone can kill 2 pools with regulation and we have already witnessed that how pools can bring btc down with high fees that's centralization. The proof of stake makes network more decentralized Proof of work seems interesting but it cannot be the future..

a very important role is played by the cult personality of Satoshi Nakamoto, so Bitcoin is top!
