[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[mimagneto]

why switch to PoS only, so the ETH will lose benefits before EOS,  hybrid mode better it should be like Novacoin - both PoS and PoW 

I don't think that ETH with be only POS, I think it's meant that POW continues, but POS is implemented to help secure that ETH is used as GAS rather than tokens themselves.

the ether reached the bottom, then only growth, but bitcoin will decline

To be honest, I don't get your ideas by sketching lines in these attached images.
Are they come from linear regression models?
What does it mean for each case, ETH and BTC?

These were posted in response to my post which stated that ETH has mimicked BTC's rise and movements.

Anyway, I continue to believe in Ether, despite the fact that he fell heavily.
It seems to me that such a strong project should recover.

The price is beyond our control, but the technology is the control of the team, they can improve and develop it.
We have a good price last year but we fell this year, but that does not mean we have no chance to recover, we have to think positive all the time.

Yes, Once the price is kept falling it does not mean that the price will not increase in the market. People who don't have faith in ETH have sold their coins in the market. But you can see there are many developments happening in the ETH blockchain and we have to keep hope in this project.

Bitcoin was revolution that changed the world, these guys are just hopping on the train and taking advantage of the Bitcoin community while crypto coins are still hot.  It's obvious you are a tech nerd and like the work these guys are doing, but if they can't get money from a bank or venture capitalist, and need to beg to Bitcoin community to fund their project, while having no initial investment of their own, that sends warnings bells through my head.  You have a right to your opinion, if you like then so much.

all weak hands sold their eth coin and now the price is stable if nothing happens wrong then i believe that the price of eth will increase in future and in next 2 month price could touch 400$ easily

After the next major upgrade, the price will be higher, may be $300-500.

[CORNEL]

Price is on a stable floor from last 2 weeks this is good sign we got big support on this level. The more support will come on above $200 level the bigger chance we will get to see this on more higher chance for next rally. It is good choice to buy on current level this is bottom.

It is interesting to see fight between ETH and XRP to keep them on 2nd spot but ETH is looking more strong cryptocurrency for this position. ETH has good use case and more secure network with a lot of dapps who using this platform. I think in coming days it will surge and difference will become more big.

I absolutely agree as well bro.  Ethereum compared to Ripple is a no contest IMHO.  The amount of value and technology that Ethereum can provide over Ripple isn't quantifiable.  This isn't to say that Ripple isn't a great project and has progressed nicely, it has its uses of course.  But Ethereum is on a whole different level than say Ripple.  As the years go on, IMHO, Ethereum will continue to dominate the market capitalization and ability to develop new projects and new abilities/technologies.

How would you compare this 2 coins I don't really know. Ripple is a centralized coin which has no connections with their main product payment network, XRP is absolutely ridiculous coin without a use case aka useless ***coin.

Lol, that looks about right bro.  You forgot the rocketship on the last line. lol

we are finalkly seeing a stability in prices
this is good for crypto, not to be volatile like it was last year this time

This ecosystem is very close to get matured as institutional investors are showing their interest to invest in this emerging markets. I hope so this time it will move with more power so stay with them and enjoy with great benefits.

Honestly, the volatility is what is keeping volume numbers (relatively) high. There are a few different "stable coin" experiments already live (e.g. DAI, BOOTY). Stable coin needs should be met by the projects seeking to create a stable coin...not Eth.

It is this price level when about 10% of the movement during the day is very popular with large funds and investors. This shows that everything is under control and the market has matured. What we saw earlier when the price could double per day is not normal and more than one fund will not buy such a risk for volatility.

It isn't clear when those releases will take place but implementations of Sharding,Plasma and privacy layer has been in advanced stages according  to Vitalik in recent tweet. That is development on technical side whereas Ethereum's physical etf also are on ten table to be prepared just like Bitcoin's at the start of next year. All these things if don't make someone bullish on Ethereum then what else can do.

Ethereums ETF is not happening anytime soon. I don't know where you read but BTC is not getting an ETF next year. All the proposals have been delayed or rejected and with the current regulation issues, it doesn't seem like they will ever be approved.

Yes the developement is great for ETH however the reason why the price is low is not due to lack of developement its due to the ICOs which are causing massive selling and other investors who bought ETH at $1000 because it "looked cheaper than BTC" and they are sitting on an 80% loss.

So even if ETH rallies to $500, it will be hit with massive ICO sellers and people who bought at $1000 who will be selling to get at least 50% of their money back.

XRP is gonna surpass ETH for good it seems.

It might be have more market cap than ETH occasionally. But in the long term, ETH will be higher.

Support level for ETH is still more high as compare with XRP. ETH has good use case and with more secure platform. I would like to say this could be bull trap because they big bags to make empty on newcomers while on other hand ETH is solid and strong project.

But ETH also depends on the success of the use cases that are being built on it. If it still takes a couple of years from now until we see a first application working at scale, a lot of people will lose trust in the platform in the meantime.

It won't take that long. Ethereum will be scaled 100% there are too many people involved in development. However first applications in the scale we could see them built on other platforms. There is a strong competition right now and it's good for healthy ecosystem growth.

I agree with your point that there is too much skin in the game for a lot of people and the incentive is very high to come up with solutions, but you never know for sure.

If you don't already get em, look up Week in Ethereum and subscribe. That newsletter always contains links to the dev calls for the various dev teams (core, eth2.0, plasma, etc). Not many people track these, but they give you first-rate insight into development.

Allowing ASICs to exist was the first big mistake.
Monero team gained a huge trust bonus when they cut out the ASICs.

I don't know how many ETH users are mainers, but for sure every ETH miner is
a potential ETH user and HODLer/trader.

people
please

understand once that daggerhashimoto ASIC does not exist
if you are assuming that the bitmains product, the ANTMINER E3, is an ASIC machine you are wrong
there is no asic borad inside, is made combining similar GPU boards like INNO3D-P106-090
Cause, this machine does not give you more than 190 Mh/s, so likely a regular DIY rig
ASICS normally gives you more than 10 times more hashing power on the same algo compared to the GPU hashing speed

ETH & its DAG file and all daggerhashimoto coins, until now, are completely ASIC resistant

This was the first version and it was released at $800. And it is created by a single company. And even though I agree with you of dagger's natural resistance, 90% of the miners believe it is Bitmain who is stealing their income and ETH team doesn't care. Nobody explained how many % are the Bitmain miners.
And allowing an ASIC on the network, even created out of old GPUs, creates a precedent. This precedent shows that when there is external influence on the hashrate (by external i mean Bitmain), the ETH team does nothing.
To people that translates to: "ETH team doesn't really care what is happening" => less trust = loong dip.
