BAD NEWS

[KAGAWA HATORI]

I just saw this information even though this post was created on 15 January 2019.

1. Does this make things worse again this year?
2. Will the price get worse?
3. What actions do you take with information like this?

There is a lot of uncertainty about forks after what occurred with the last heavily publicized one involving Bitcoin Cash (BCH), but there shouldn't be anything to worry about with the upcoming upgrade to Ethereum even though it has been delayed this shouldn't affect confidence in the network or the value for now as long as when it is implemented it is successful, which it presumably will be, so there shouldn't be any need to panic and there'll likely be benefits later this year for anyone who's keeping this asset in their portfolio

1. Does this make things worse again this year?

It's too early to say that it will make things worse for this year.

2. Will the price get worse?

Nobody knows if the price will be worse like last year. There's no way to figure out if things will become better for this year.

3. What actions do you take with information like this?

Do I need to do something?

Actually those "news" are not that bad - the issue was related to the hard-fork which has been postponed now and a new ETA will be available soon (most likely there'll be more information released today).

I think it's bad news, because every delay on the road map is a bad news. And ethereum is delaying everything for a long time. This is certainly bad for investors.

POS was supposed to be on already, or at least there should be a  prevision about the launching date of Casper or Constantinople at least

[sixexgames]

Well I don't think it's "Bad News". I think if they would've gone forward with the update and if failed or had bugs, or ETH was stolen, THEN that would be really bad news. This is a quite normal thing.

[Vaculin]

Not a bad news, of the two news you shared, one is big which is the hard fork postponement but that is alright, they are making
it more secure before they will launch it. We've seen there is no effect in the market and ETH is still down, probably next move with good news of course is up.

[fuer44]

maybe, but I'm not sure it will have a bad effect on etherum. I think Etherum will still rise even though there are still many things that need to be improved, including security.

So far ethereum dev have a good reputation from crypto community, so I think that is not bad news for us, they postponed it to make better. They just want to take care of us as an ethereum holder.

[Baofeng]

I read somewhere that the delay is just one day though?

Then how can it be bad news? Roadmap is already put into place just a matter of execution and it's good if they postponed it for a day maybe because it's not ready. Instead of going live and then it break outs, that would really make it worst for Ethereum. So let's just wait and see what will happen next, the price seems not affected in the last 48 hours, it is still trading within the range of $120-$125.

I really agree with your opinion!
We cannot be directly affected and think negatively about the news.

[Gershonxer]

i was really pissed off when the hard fork was postoned actually due to the bugs that were found. But in my opinion, its all for the best. I know that the fork must happen this quarter of the year. Eth will recieve quite a dump form the price because of the news.
But as an investor, "bad news is always your friend" if you know what i mean

[Salelo]

it is indeed too early to say that this year is a bad year for bitcoin and others. but we never know when a bull will come and do its job to pump the market. so it's better to wait for the next move

I will not take both pf articles seriously, The writer is completely not even reading what will be implemented to the ethereum platform. Ethereum aims hybrid system and it's not fully moving toward POS system.
Do you think the decrease of inflation will affect the price to go down?
You should read more about EIP.

I will not respond to the news with panic, let dev Eth provide the best for his community. All this is done to make Eth stay alive and in great demand by crypto lovers. Eth indeed often postpones hardfok for various reasons and this is not a bad thing to be addressed but look for the positive so that it still has benefits and benefits.

[Pffrt]

It was postponed and there has nothing to do with ETH price or market. Because of the complexity,  they planned it to upgrade later on 19th January possibly. However, it will make a little impact on the price, not a big deal.

The hardfork has been postponed and I also did not see this as a bad news.  I think 2019 provide us with more good news than bad news and I expect more of bullish trend for ethereum than bearish trend.  

[timmmers]

And what happened yesterday with Ethereum, I have heard about the chain split, is it real? Miners do not want to switch to Constantinople?

[Dilireba]

When Ethereum price is going too low, a number of miners will quit mining and this leads to more risks of Ethereum network and miners. Less miners, it's easier to make a hard fork and 51 percent attack. Less miners will make Ethereum network becomes more centralized.

[GREENch]

I will not take any action. What's the bad news? If the fact that the testing revealed a serious vulnerability and the developers decided to fix it before releasing an update, then this is good news.

[gurunanakji777]

I am little bit disappointed that hard fork has been postponed again but it is all for good its not bad news anyway as they identified some potential vulnerability in one of the software upgrades and if they implemented and later problem occurs that can cause some damage to ethereum so they postpone the upgrades till further notice So I believe this issue can not affect ethereum value but I can say whenever this hard fork will happen that will bring good growth to ethereum.
