[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[bitcoin_diamond]

Bitcoin is a phenomenal buyer of electricity. The world is ruled not by the President, not by the government, not by banks, but by energy companies. The threat to them is always eliminated at the root and by any means. If bitcoin is a threat to banks, that banks will be eliminated, not bitcoin. If the ether becomes a threat to bitcoin and fuel companies, they will close the ether

Why would ether become a threat to bitcoin? I believe they can definitely co-exist. No reason that's not possible.

 I would say many digital assets under top 15 are good.. The real usecase of many digital assets are remarkable they work flawless and are highly scalable to be a store value.. Digital assets are so new to this world that they started treating it as a stock instead of taking it as a defense this all proves and shows how early we are into crypto space the moment people get into digital world and they actually talk about coins other then bitcoin then we have somewhat achieved our goal of 20% many dont even understand how to use digital assets like bitcoin, ethereum, xrp etc .
For many digital assets are still very new it reminds of cellphones where only some used it and other thought its a waste of money to buy and those cellphones were only basic phones and now we see even a homeless person would surely have and know how to use a cellphone this time span roughly took around 20 years and we are talking about mass adoption now everyone has one phone with them.. and guess what crypto users are only in few millions out of those billions in this world unaware or unknown about the existence of such space.

I think this is negative news for the ETH - Binance to rename ETH market to ALTS market; add XRP trading pairs

Binance CEO Chanpeng Zhao announced that the San-Francisco based networking giant Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP, currently to top altcoin on the crypto-market will be the quote currency to many new additional trading pairs, that the exchange has yet to announced.

In the same tweet, the Binance CEO announced that the ETH market, market for the second most prominent altcoin, Ethereum [ETH] would be renamed ALTS markets, to denote the altcoins in the market. He further added that the same has been done because the exchange has been, “Running out of space on the UI [User Interface].”

I heard that XRP made a pretty big donation to binance because of this donation they are adding XRP trading pairs.

Don't know if there's any truth to it.

The market has once again inflated artificially. It is too early to talk about $ 1000 Ethereum, it is not yet known how Ethereum will be updated.

Ethereum will scalable in 2019  and with POS is winwin for future

ETH prices back to 1000  you'll see    ETH tech deserve it

I dont think so. Price started grow already. Today is a Christmas and people celebrating, thats why is a little correction. The same situation was in last year when on Christmas market fallen a little.

That is, after a small rise, people began to sell with a minimum profit. Everyone needs money for Christmas and the new year.

Yeah, people have waited such long time to see such raise again so it was very necessary to take some profit between it is the holidays and people need money to celebrate, i also think the price will dip more since Chinese holidays will come soon and many will sell during this period as well.

Due to market condition, the price of ETH is kept fluctuating which we cannot able to control the price of ETH, due to holiday season many people want money to spend their holidays happily. I hope most of the people will not sell the ETH due to the price of ETH is very low still.

Yep, before February we can expect the price to dip further but chances are that January could be a good month for crypto.

January has never been a good month for Bitcoin or other cryptos. Mostly due to the fact that many usually sell in January since they can move their profits to a new year instead of paying higher taxes by selling in December.

However everybody assumed that November would be a bullish month because historically November usually saw huge gains except this year where it lost 50% in a very short period.

So who knows? Maybe January will be a bullish month next year.

Where have you heard that news? so it means to say that they have been made their own pairs due to that donation? and it caused ETH as a sacrificial to remove its own name "ETH's market" renamed to "Alts market".

[bitcoin_diamond]

Every year in crypto have been a great year even 2018 a year of adoption we are few days away to complete 2018
digital assets have achieved a great height in 2018 which was never in the past.
Hope everyone is enjoying their new year..

After Christmas season is looking bearish so this is creating panic situation again. It looking there is no relief in short term I hope strong hands keep buying from panic sellers when good news will coming than they will make big profit.

if cryptos really spike this time it will break the 20k barrier cuz the bull runs are always above the ATH
The 2013 was very identical it went to 1200 and it dropped to 250 we have similar situation here from 20k we dropped 3200 usd reaching the bottom we tested and back fired the bottom around 4 to 5 times. All the top 3 coins will shine as we end this year. we are heading towards a bright new year.

There is no threat, this is the usual black advertisement for Ethereum, you only need to wait until the whales lower the market to the prices they need.

Bitcoin is a phenomenal buyer of electricity. The world is ruled not by the President, not by the government, not by banks, but by energy companies. The threat to them is always eliminated at the root and by any means. If bitcoin is a threat to banks, that banks will be eliminated, not bitcoin. If the ether becomes a threat to bitcoin and fuel companies, they will close the ether

Why would ether become a threat to bitcoin? I believe they can definitely co-exist. No reason that's not possible.

True they all cannot resist to get more and more money in their pockets they have all seem to have random lower targets.. just like goldman sachs they been very hostile towards bitcoin but also bought poloniex for 400 million usd seems funny on how they work they first disgrace the market and then buy into it. In the end they all want things according to how they want it to be... but dont let your hands get weaker..
HAVE FAITH

That call of CEO of Bitmex is bullish for Ethereum as he sees $200 coming very soon. That means we may see increase but that will not touch his targeted price but a message of buying was given in his specific style. If you look at his previous calls then can understand how they worked and what actually they were meant for markets.

I  feel listening to our own voice is more important at this moment .. the way crypto is designed its made to combat our dying economy .. we may soon expect Bitcoin's lightning network wallets which would help to create channels between the 2 party and make transfer fast and easier We already have raiden for Ethereum and they are having a hardfork on 16th jan and would add casper in 2020 which isnt very far now...so far BTC  lightning network is maintaining its nodes to reach highest levels. btc & eth are designed to be store of value. While Xrp is meant to make larger amount possible for banking industries

i agree with you but implementation of crypto payment system at all need much more time
for using this system people need to educate about this system reliability or need to find some other way where people can use crypto payment much easy or secure way.
i believe that in 2020 crypto will much more popular and their prices are also skyrocket
right now transferring payment from one to another is much easier through crypto blockchain
people will soon realize that who don't except it right now

I just believe that $200 is a very easy target on or before the 16th of January. I was also contemplating this when Ethereum (along with Bitcoin) went upside since touching double digits. Although I did bought more but a bit too scared to nearly go all in into ETH.

Is there any new update regarding the Ethereum hard fork happening in January? If I heard correctly, there will be less reward for miners, is that correct?

Mining is already not really profitable. That means, that miners will be quitting to mine Ethereum and scalabilty will drop. And we all know that Ethereum is not very good at scalability...

Scalability will not change because the difficulty will be adjusted by the pools to keep the block time. Less hashrate means lower difficulty to find blocks.

At the moment, mining is not something that is not very profitable. It is completely unprofitable, unless of course you do not have free electricity.

[Odeoke]

Let's see what will happen in next few days I hope next year will bring more attention towards this platform and we will see same hype for this project. It is time to hold and no need to fill the order of big whales to let them eat our coins.

[addicto]

This market is still under the huge pressure slowly slowly again it moving in side ways and losing its value. It need more power to show good performance and prove this it has more big community. I hope this time it won't fall under $100 barrier.

Many people quoted your statement but none of them were answering your real question, and the answer is yes. Block rewards will be decreased from 3 ETH to around 2 ETH if nothing changes. It has been discussed by the dev a while ago before the delay.
yes, mining is not profitable any longer for a couple of months, and do not forget that this hardfork will encompass five separate Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that will help and soften ETH to make its transition in the future.
