Ethereum Hard fork (constantinople) on 16th january 2019

[Nivelir]

For sure it will affect the price of ethereum because many people are trying to participate in the upcoming hard fork. So many people are buying ethereum from now, until the said fork date.

Many people today still invest in ETH, because ETH in January will have serious prices, I am sure that today many investors will have the opportunity to invest in ETH, because today there are very cheap prices for coins.

it seems to me that the price may even sink even more strongly as the mining is already unprofitable right now

Now this can not be, usually it is always the other way around and today the market demonstrates it, because the market today is definitely trying to invest its time and money in the project. ETH is a strong project that will live for a long time.

Can someone recommend good article about this hardfork to me? I want to know more technical details. Thank you.

One improvement included in this upgrade is EIP 1234 [Constantinople Difficulty Bomb Delay and Block Reward Adjustment]. This is the proposal that has been garnering the most attention and to which i am also fascinated about. This new update reduces the mining reward from 3 ETH to 2 ETH which will reduce the yearly inflation of the coin. The goal of this is ultimately to drive the price higher, as we know that when there is less of something it becomes worth more.
I look forward to this upgrade, that it may benefit all the Ethereum enthusiasts most especially the investors.

So far, I think Constantinople will not affect the price of Ethereum, today unfortunately broke the support line and rather more likely to go again to look for the bottom

I don't believe in all those so called fork routine. It has just turned to an avenue for some greedy devs to make money out of thin air. It's becoming very rampant in this industry. From one fork to another.

I think before and after this hardfork we will have +5% & -5% in price change.. the price doesn't have very affected exactly

Found this article on crypt potato... They arr talking about 3 hardforks of ethereum

"Classic Vision Hard Fork – 11 Jan 2019: All Ethereum holders will receive 3 ETCV for each ETH in their wallets.
Ethereum Nowa Fork – 12 Jan 2019: Each ETH holder receives ETN in the ratio of 1:1 for free.
Constantinople Fork – 16 Jan 2019 (or earlier) Constantinople Mainnet hard fork scheduled for block #7080000: The Constantinople Mainnet hard fork is arguably the most significant fork because it is a big component of Ethereum’s transition from using a proof of work protocol to proof of stake."

eth devs has planned a hardfork on 16th jan to halve the block reward of eth to controll the inflation.. what do you think how it is gonna effect the eth price plus sholud we hold some eth for the fork

I think there is nothing wrong with holding your coins cause when they split the network you will have both coins available in your wallet and erc20 tokens will reflect on both networks. It’s then left for the exchanges to determine which one of the two tokens they will be ready to support ,and most of them are likely to support the one which is more popular .

hardfork to ethereum in this period is expected to be hardfork which could improve the system from ethereum. ethereum including coins and with hardfork which will arrive will be able to make investors become the ethereum because certainly will experience an increase in value. This effect will have a volume ethereum made it big enough.

I have searched for the official website  of Constantinople fork but I have found only a few articles that talk about this frok without referring to the web  site or Twitter account?

If I'm not mistaken, Constantinopole is one of the series of upgrades for the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum 2.0 is the final result of all the upgrades. Constantinopole is set to improve the efficiency of the ethereum network.

I think the growth price of ETH should definitely happen, but I don’t understand exactly how the fork will happen, we will be given a new ETH !?

Still speculations and until we are not seeing anything it will remain as it is, the fork might improve the system and might solve issues about the previous chain, the price of ETH is continuing to grow and fomo's still hyping we should see the actual effect after this fork and what would be the offer of this new one.

The storm of news that January 16 will still be a real push, but it seems to me that the intensity of the passions will be held back by more serious people, because prices are supported not just like that, now the world economy is very well and skillfully working for the recession, you understand what I mean is this all saying?

Well, the ETH reaction is already visible. He grew by $ 70-60 since the fall. Closer to January. And this means that after the upgrade, its price will be $ 200 $ -250. To invest or not is up to you.

yes you're right, this time fork aims to improve the performance of ethereum networks and reduce reward blocks from 3 to 2. many hope that with this hardfork ethereum prices will rise again.
