2019, A Challenging Year for Ethereum

[karman383]

But ethereum prices continued to fall almost to the price of $ 100 and it looked sad. Well, indeed in general ethereum is widely used for trade, investment and transactions. Only one hope that I always hold, namely the price goes up again. Because that will make a lot of people smile a little for now. Hopefully there will be good news to end this bear trend.

Yes, this year for the Ethereum platform will be very difficult. The team will be transferring the platform to POS for a long time. In the meantime, competitors are progressing very well in their designs.

Ethereum this is a coin that is used for ico but Ethereum  has great future prospects which will bring a very big profit

This year is not a difficult times for Ethereum, maybe this month because it's about to end but ETH is still at $100.

We need major improvement in the months to come, the hard fork looks promising and after they postponed it next month, I believe there's no more
similar movement like that. I'm guessing, not really that convince but I believe next month there will be rally again.

For Ethereum, I think this year will be a turning point and its price may surprise us both with its increase and possible reduction even lower.

2019 is a challenging year for not only Ethereum but also other alt coins. Unless Bitcoin don't go up, the other coins would struggle. They are all dependent on how Bitcoin performs.

[dnovsckym]

Ethereum is not the first difficult year, and it seems to me that the time of thaw will soon come!

[inanilujimi]

almost all altcoins have the same challenges as ETH this year, even bitcoin is experiencing the same thing.
I am sure this difficult period will end and Crypto will again become the world's attention and increase its popularity more than before.

 Ethereum is a very popular coin. Many people do not have bitcoin but almost everyone has ETH. The fluctuation of rates always occurs, but the demand for ETH remains. This year ETH has a chance to grow.

[Gabmot]

I don't and won't agree to this on any term. Well,  i know what will make other biggest projects like Eth do well,  will definitely speaks for ETH too.. ETH is even among the fewest coins that will survive into the future.

They definetly will think how to improve it , behind ethereum there is really smart people and i think they already know what will happen with ethereum . Thats one of my favorite projects so far . Even bitcoin for me is in second place :/

how can you put bitcoin in second place?) because bitcoin is much more stable than Ethereum. And now there is no news that everything will be alright with Eth

[ElenaN]

I think that it was difficult in 2018, and in this it seems to me that the situation will change radically!

[manfredmann]

Yes, this year for the Ethereum platform will be very difficult. The team will be transferring the platform to POS for a long time. In the meantime, competitors are progressing very well in their designs.

But, ethereum has good community and projects also that are using the ETH platform or the block chain. Anyway, if it will be transferrng to POS then surely it will take some time. Yet, after it will be establish then there could be more good things that will come to ethereum and it will be expected. Let just wait and see what will going to happen next for ethereum.

[Bitbtc8]

Its 2019 now and Ethereum is still the best for dapps and its improving ,the future updated has been postponed to February and I'm sure if the update works out successfully it will make Ethereum the best among the rest like tron, neo, EOS ,let's wait and see what the outcome will be ,for this year Ethereum will reclaim the second position back

[farraddy]

The latest drop in the Ethereum exchange rate caused by the postponement of the update is possible. Many ETH holders expect positive results from the team this year. It should affect the cost.

almost all altcoins have the same challenges as ETH this year, even bitcoin is experiencing the same thing.
I am sure this difficult period will end and Crypto will again become the world's attention and increase its popularity more than before.

Expectators still believe that the market will rise back, we  need to find our gems while we are still in this situations, people who loves
investing and waiting for the big bounce back will consider ETH as one of those best coin after bitcoin, this challenge after the postponed
fork will be for believers and supporters, we will wait till the final announcement about it and see how it will bring the rally back for
this project.

[rijaljun]

I think ethereum has lost much trust from people. I don't know why, but we can know from the price and the idea of hardfork. Last year waspada rough enough for ethereum and this year, Ethereum should think how to recover and gain back trust from people.

[chikucrypto]

At this time people are loosing interest in ethereum to see it;s performance and believing in other coins so 2019 will be very challenging year for the ethereum because ethereum have to prove itself again.

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.

You are very right. The gas fees may be quite a setback in the dApp application for ETH. My real concern is that not many users will be willing to pay the high gas fees(depending on network condition) for the transactions  on dApp.
