Why is ethereum on the rise??

[DeltaX]

Ethereum has seen a gradual rise in price because of the announcement of its new hardfork which is going to use Proof of Stake consensus mechanism in confirming new transaction on its network. This has caused a great uproar in the whole cryptospace because almost everybody wants to benefit from the free coins that holders of Ethereum would receive.

Please! Stop spreading misinformation:

1- There is no POS related har fork!

2- There is no free coin either!

Ethereum hard forks are not like bitcoin, there will be no new coin, why people talk instead of just reading?  

Serenity hardfork is a way to bring us to the POS ethereum casper. If you don't know about that and i suggest you read the ethereum whitepaper.
But those free coins not even related to the ethereum hardfork and they are just selling the name of ethereum to get their own benefit.

The rumour of the hard fork of ethereum is now becoming real, as exchanges have started approving of it. Whoever has the fund and is not making use of the opportunity is missing a lot. Just the rumour alone made the price of ETH to increase.

[Question123]

Maybe because of ethereum hardfork. Hardfork have good effect to the ethereum price.
If we continue pumping the value of the ethereum for sure we will see in the shortime of waiting to see $1000 plus and we can earn more money.

I would love ethereum to go $200 or even higher this month. The rise started last month with bitcoin. They touched bottom already that sparked their rise. Ethereum continues to rise because of its coming hard forks. One of the forks is ETCV which will be given 3:1 ration on ETH holders.

Ethereum is on the rise maybe because there are so many new investors that is now attract with the price. And they all maybe know that buying eth today is really a great opportunity or a great investment. We can all see that the ethereum is now slowly rising and maybe in the next few months it will really rise up high more than a half with its current price today. I believe that we need to prepare by buying some more ethereum this time because the ethereum is still cheaper today.

In last few weeks we saw a good run on ethereum. And there is lot reasons behind it. The most that effect is Constantinople hardfork. People are excited about it and that's why they are buying and holding ethereum. The second reason is ethereum devlopment the devs said about ethereum 2.0 where they will work on the scalability issues. And one of the reason was market conditions. Market is kind of stable so it is the great chance to grow for altcoins. There are many fud also about ethereum like 2 more fork eth btc hard fork together like that.

Because Ethereum will do a lot of Hardfork this month, so traders want free coins from hardfork ETH results, so traders are crowded to buy Ethereum before the snapshoot arrives, and hopefully the price of Ethereum after Hardfork will continue to increase.

There is no Serenity on the table. We are not discussing Vitalik dreams we are talking about the real world, where we have just one minor fork, Constantinople, and it is not PoS related. Period.

[DainSLane]

Ethereum is on the rise leaving other coins like ripple and bitcoin cash it recently took back it's second place on cmc.. at already at $150.. are we going to see ethereum at $200 this month??

Of course we all want to see ethereum at $200 or more in this month probably it will happen after this hard fork we can see the ethereum price rising the market and to be more much popular to all other altcoins.

[Abosede]

I guess many people are full of expectation the upcoming hard fork and that has lead to many trying to add ethereum to their portfolio, though we are not yet sure if the hard fork is an upgrade or if it will give birth to a new new coin but nevertheless I guess people just want to prepare for it.

[Nggedebus]

I think that is because the news about the hardfork that is a part of an upgrade on ethereum to be better compared to the old ethereum, with faster transaction speed and block capacity/size, lets just wait for the better ethereum to come.

[Alucard2425]

I think one is where in the month of rise of crypto (it happens every year) two with the upcoming hard fork three its the second best crypto that has establish its name already in the crypto world

[glendall]

if I see, ETH prices are going up because of a lot of good news about ETH,
especially ETH will do 3 Fork at the same month, I'm sure this is what causes ETH prices to continue to rise and return to rank 2 in market capitalization.

[Absolutep]

Ethereum might be on the rise because of the expectation of people concerning the coming hard fork,some feels it might give birth to new coin and having some ethereum in your portfolio will surely qualify you for the rewards,so people are buying.

well, it's clear that this has something to do with the hardfork that will happen. well, this is a very good thing for now. I just hope that this ETH price increase will remain stable even when hardfork is finished.

[culuuton]

ETH is king in ICOS campaigns and trading via ETH is very fast and popular. Therefore, the increase of ETH and returning to number two is what I think is not surprising because it is too potential and only after Bitcoin.

[ankusharora1980]

NOW PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED FROM ETH WILL GO HIGH THIS IS THE REASON THAT ETH IS GOING ON GOOD THAT'S GOOD FOR ALL OF US.

Ethereum are on the way to go to hardfork in this month, so its price is increasing in recent days and I am hoping it can reach 200 USD this month and leave far from Ripple

Yeah, I think it's because of the coming hard for too and am guessing people are buying in to get the forked coins and am also guessing after the hardfork, ether price might likely drop again so we have to be really smart about this and know which part of it you'd like to trade.

[dhiraj0977]

I have also noted silent and sleep increase in Ethereum value over the past month, I do not know the exact reason behind it, but happy with its rise as I have investment in Ethereum for which I am very disappointed over the past 6 months due to its continued downtrend.

There are a lot of misleading information around regarding the Constantinople Hard Fork. That is so because some crypto "experts" have got Constantinople Hard Fork mixed up with the Casper update. The latter, proposed by Vitalik Buterin and Vlad Zamfir indeed implies transition to POS, but right now we can talk about rather a partial transition because Vitalik’s Casper, Casper FFG, a hybrid POW/POS consensus mechanism is going to be implemented first(if ever).
