2019, A Challenging Year for Ethereum

[casternetwork]

Ethereum needs to solve its main problem this is a problem of scalability and only then the price will start to grow

I also think so, but time has not allowed Ethereum to be any longer, I hope it can come back quickly to replace it with being a better and brighter new currency than Bitcoin, if it comes back right away this

Ethereum is still at its best, dominating the dapp market in 2018. It gains the highest active number of dapp users among others. Not just that, it’s leading the market also in terms of wallet holders and total number of dapps.

But despite of the stable growth, Ethereum may find 2019 a tough year to begin with. Aside from the less transaction it has compared to the others, its dapp users needs to maintain an ETH for the gass fee every transaction. This greatly affects the dapp users experience and full mass adoption of Ethereum Dapps.

This is something an Ethereum dapp must consider and/or think about this year.

Of course, the heavy and its former glory is beginning to fade, coins with rapid development and innovations come to the fore. Even fork probably will not help to return the top line of the list.

This is just the beginning of the year and I think there is no much challenge for ethereum than other cryptocurrencies!  After the hardfork we should expect ethereum to moon.  I strongly believe that this year will favour ethereum than any other coins.

Ethereum has be struggling for over a year now and they only way it can improve is to actually do what they have been promising, the Scalability issue is one of the biggest issues Ethereum have and the Proof of Work , pow hasn't been working for a while now and Proof of Stake is the way to heal Ethereum , Miners also getting declining rewards is part of the problem Ethereum have, once there is a way to eliminate all this then Ethereum could really rise in 2019

It seems to me difficult for Ethereum was 2018, and this will be a series of positive events that will slightly simplify the situation!

I think that we should not worry about this because it's just a matter of time, I read that the development team has set many goals for 2019 and the issue of scaling them in the first place. I can't find that article but it says that in the near future Ethereum will be able to overtake EOS in transactions and I also believe that the development team will be able to implement it in reality !

First things first, Ethereum need to have a successful HARD FORK which is now on hold and take place on late February this year.
Secondly, they should make a move that this FORK will pump the market after unlike what happened to BCH.

[paxaway21]

It's very excitement that ethereum have a potential to increase at this year of 2019 still waiting for a big pump. At this time ethereum has not already increasing but many people hold their ethereum to grow up again.

[Anatolich]

Yesterday a lot of eth was stolen from one exchange, sorry for people. If there is a tendency to purchase, it is worthwhile to listen to jerks anyway.

[Mighty_crypt]

A matter of fact ,Ethereum is not stable presently but I guess its because of the market condition and I even expected that the Constantinople fork cancellation would affect the price but I was wrong ,I think Ethereum has a better future ahead in the coming months and if the fork became active later on then it will make it find a stronger feet once again

That's how ethereum should be during this year. Even with it's dominance in the market, we can't still see it's price spike high due to high transaction gass. Maybe the devs should find a way to counter this issue for the convenience of it's users.

[cyberdg]

I think there's a point. The emergence of new blockchain infrastructure such as TRON, ADA, etc. Signifying disappointment over the ethereum condition which until now is still stagnant. At the same time they become competitors for ethereum to innovate or lose.

[bossU2Y]

In addition to that, though Ethereum is known for its best early dapp developers of idle games such as Ether Goo and Farm Games since before, unfortunately, many of its dapp developers are moving now to TRON, its rival blockchain. This is quitely alarming for Ethereum in its plan to expand it's network on the dapp field. Hiring a new dapp developer team might be a good option but this won't guarantee it's stability in the market. The big challenge is that how would they able to surpass this scarcity? Would 2019 still be a good year for Ethereum?

actually Ethereum is at its worse and every day that passes the situation becomes more dire. the blockchain is bloated, the scaling is impossible, the centralization of it happened a lot time ago, it has no immutability and worst of all it is pump and dump.
the only thing it used to dominate was ICO market in other words it offered a scamfest platform. and that is also dying as ICOs die.

[Jpti]

Yes the year of 2019 will be a challenging year for ethereum as it has failed to perform well since one year ago. And this still continues. It has lost its charm to the point where ripple has beaten it. But it has a challenge to make progress and assert itself as one of the best coins in the market. It is expected that its hardfork will help the coin to reclaim its past presence.

Yeah, that is from cryptopia. Cryptopia has hacked and ethereum was dumped from the hackers and followed with other tokens too.

[Vit83]

I already using neo to move money between exchanges. This is much faster and almost free. Most of the new ICO will be on the other platforms. So they are very late with their upgrades. I changed my mind about eth and don waiting it higher than 300-400 usd. People have too much of eth in their hands and quantity of eth is constantly growing.

I think 2019 will be the best year for ethereum aside from the all time peak. I mean lets take a look at ethereum before all of this started, last year (more like 2 years ago) ethereum didn't worth anything, it was like 9 dollars at one point, nobody really cared about ethereum and it was just another coin for people.

After a while they decided that doing a new coin is best when you do it with ICO over ethereum blockchain which created an interest for ethereum, that increased the price by a lot, many people spent a lot of money on ICOs which means billions of dollars bought and sold on ethereum, then there was other utilities like products and softwares and games and what not which increased interest for it as well.

Now in 2019 we are looking at an ethereum that is by far the best coin except bitcoin and only rivaled by xrp right now, thats really as good as it gets for ethereum.

[temilade200]

I think that the year 2019, on the contrary, will be very successful for ethereum and he will be able to show an excellent result

I totally agree with you that 2019 is probably an extremely good year to invest Ethereum at a good price this year. This is necessary to go one step further in the crypto market, because the previous upheaval I lost was almost complete and I need this time to recover 

Yes, ethereum has a lot of potentials, yet that does not mean you should not be careful when investing in it.
Imagine how some people were cajoled into buying eth at the announcement of the of the hardfork, yet it dump.
The point at which one comes in is very essential, because it will determine how much profit you will get.
If I buy low, I can be very patient to hold, perhaps it will experience a high growth rate.

[disconnectme]

I do agree 2019 will be very difficult year for 2019 because time is not on the side of Ethereum developers to deliver on their sweet promises. One thing working for Ethereum is the first mover advantages which no other competing platforms have and when one look a projects like Augur, 0x and DaiMaker I still feel Ethereum will hold its grounds though it will be difficult to attain if they failed to solve their scaling issues this year
