Less supply coming to market should mean less selling pressure and more chance for ETH price to increase but I think that all of that will be overridden by the overall market trend. ETH needs people to be using the coin, for ICOs or dapps etc. The problem with ETH is that in a bull the price will sky rocket as supply is eaten up by these projects but during a bear market there is less demand from ICOs and dapps and a lot of selling pressure from past funds becoming available.

Ethereum community has 2 upcoming events. Halving and this fork. I think these events will be good. But I trust in Vitalik mostly. Vitalik has great brain. He is very clever man and will be great soon.

after seeing this post, I think you have sold eth and got some benefits. from February ethereum still has a good price and currently eth prices are down. the best idea is eth will do hardfork by 2019. maybe i will buy ethereum and save it .

The hard fork has already been announced and postponed. Let's see if it goes through this time. I don't like the habit of Ethereum developers to postpone their already announced solutions. To be fair, a lot is at stake, most of all the integrity of the network. I don't think that halving the block reward is the best solution for the already bloated system, but who knows. On the other hand, halving means reducing inflation, and it may have some positive effect for the ETH holders, if Ethereum doesn't break up in the process. I think that the design of Ethereum was flawed from the very beginning, and now it's showing up its problems.

I think it will be a very good plan or idea if Hardfork happens in the beginning of next year (2019), for now looking at market conditions, especially looking at price charts Ethereum sometimes I feel sad. But it does not reduce my love for Ethereum. I hope that as soon as possible all return to recovery.

Vitalik is a very smart man, but what he think is the best for Ethereum isn't necessarily the best for miners or holders. So it all depends on what is your role in Ethereum ecosystem.

People need to know that this date is not sacrosanct, it is possible they move it, for me Ethereum developers are not serious, Bitcoin have Halving event programmed into the network but Ethereum developers just keep playing politics with their scaling solution, if ICO market shift away from the platform I don't see the future in the NEtwork

if the news is true, it is very extraordinary, and I am sure it will affect the ETH price on the exchange, because many of the systems will use it, may I know, where you found the information, I want to read it myself

Is there a reliable link about this one? i meant about there was a news from the developer of ethereum if they will try to do another hardfork in the next month? that will be very interesting to read it directly.

Very few information about this hardfork. I have some in Bittrex. And wondering i should keep it there or move to anyother exchange before the hardfork happens.

where can you get this news? did you get this news from a trusted source, I am very interested in this news I hope you can include the source of this news.

it should no longer have any serious effects on the long term price of it because there is already a very huge supply of it available and also with their hard fork to change the algorithm to proof of stake they will be basically giving away a lot of free coins to the whales who will in turn dump them right away without touching their main coins and that can crash the market hard.

so you think this hard fork will be in vain and will dump them alone? even affect the market to be worse than it is now? if so, why would they want to do it? I am confused.

I really hope that everything will go on time, because lately everyone has a habit of postponing the launch of products!

Ethereum is a trusted brand but it has been dumped really badly during this bear market which could put investors off in future. Also the competition from cardano and tezos needs to be factored in as they are built to scale better than ethereum

[tamango]

This even can be important for Eth "reinassance" but the real problem is still the ICO crisis because if there is no demand for them, less people will continue to buy ethereum in order to participate to them...

Here is the first sign that nothing will help the ether and it becomes more difficult to develop it than to create a new fork. Soon he, like Bitcoin cash, will merge into one of the forks.
