[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[bitcoin_diamond]

I've been seeing since many years that whenever there is a slight drop lot of wiccans and voodoo witchcraft start their predictions i guess we have more of kids and voodoo people into crypto space  
Cryptos are rising regardless of predictions because you predict stocks you don't predict a currency its only volatile because market for digital assets is small and needs to expand.

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.

The 2013 scenario took a while to play out though and this current process is still working out before we can especially compare it.    Also I'm not sure the top coins of 2013 really were in place years later, maybe LTC but I dont think it was that simple over time

So at present we can observe a bottom pricing of some sorts, at least half a dozen more events where people doubt crypto in general sounds about right.    Also I'm not bullish on crypto without it developing and passing expectations, if its purely static in its utility then I imagine its overtaken by another product of some kind.   Obviously alot of companies want the public to just hold their centralised database as a token and consider it the same but I dont think this happens

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...

The core developer has already told us about when the hardfork will begin and yes it's correct if the block reward will drop more than 30%.
Miners don't give any impact to the scalability of ethereum. Maybe less miners in the network due to the price drop will forced some miners to stop their mining activities.

I read a few of your comments and if there is anything kid or voodoo its you. It's not hard to find a shill who leaves out the meat and prefers to talk about the gravy.  I do enjoy your view on crypto's design to save the dying economy. That one sure took a lot out of you.. Which is actually not dying but being moved to where it benefits the investors and controllers, china, india, africa..  Pretty much the places where all the ETH shills come from. But I must say I most enjoy your comparison of 2018 to 2013, as if there is any relevance here at all, the shills have hit a new low, now its about finding patterns from 5 years ago so they can its repeating again, now do you see who the voodoo is  ?

Last know update for ethereum hard fork is that the Constantinople fork is going to come on block 7080000 on the 16th of January 2019.

Its called Sarcasm for imbeciles
and about the patterns they follow it cuz we have less people using cryptos and its being similar to stocks for now which its not designed to be.. ITS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A STOCK WHAT SO EVER.. if you are thinking about watching graphs yes it can have a corelation between the graphs and the price moment which it has been so far but am a hodler and not a investor for short term so it hardly matters for me what price its right now.

Yes Ethereum fork will be in January 2019, if nothing changes. Scalability will be resolved when there is a new Ethereum update. Every coin has difficulty.

And expect more dip before the fork, it is giving a good entry for everyone.

I don't think that's gonna happen, the trend is different, it's the opposite that is happening.
ETH needs to be upgraded and together with the upgrade is the price increase, having my own opinion to this, I'd rather be excited that look for negative things. Everyone wants to buy cheap and at this current price, I don't think they will not grab it, we do not need downward movement anymore.

But does it make sense? Is it the right time, to reduce the mining rewards and push basically majority out? Mining are an important part of the Ethereum ecosystem and I don't understand the logic behind it - pushing them out. At the moment, they really are not making much profit. If any...

There is good adoption compared to all these years the bear market was just a money grab the tech is real and it works its not something that they could pump this thing and then dump and we forget.. a company stock which you buy off market has no real use case you solely depend on the company to work for you but its completely different situation here you actually get digital coins in your wallet to use them in real world or exchange.. there are ETH and BTC atms in many parts of the world. In 2019 we might see more adoption and many special things to come we might also see tech upgrade as technology has always been upgrading im really happy to be in ETH space as it has a excellent roadmap a hard fork on 16th january and casper in 2020 the timespan actually gives developers more time to understand the usecase compactibility in near future.

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

Right now many people against Crypto because they are still prefer fiat money but who know the value of blockchain, they know how to use, they are prefer blockchain. Crypto getting famous worldwide but i think people using crypto for profit, for make money double. Less people don't care about prices because they are using platform, using crypto as payment.
Crypto adopted by many big companies so crypto will rise but it will take much time. (2020 or 2025).   

[CrazyDan81]

I think in January Ethereum will rise up a little bit again and then collapse again. For the market it does not need high, I mean for operations in trade!

[CrazyDan81]

I just feel sorry for the people who sold the apartment to buy Ethereum and then leaked all the money, should have remained to the banks(((
In the ass this Ethereum!!!
Good thing I didn't invest in it.!!!)))

[clixcoin]

Bitcoin fell last days, forced weak hands out.
After that, BTC suddenly took off mins ago, ETH followed the King to fly.
0.04 BTC for ETH to come soon.

I wish you a happy new year, especially with your investment into ETH. 

ETH is trying to maintain its market cap and it rising more steady than before if we look over the monthly chart than it is pretty easy to discover in which direction it's heading. I think so in next few months it will get more better value.

[Saverenergy]

ETH has gotten big momentum recent weeks.
That is why the coin has to rise unavoidably and almost unstoppable.

ETH is trying to maintain its market cap and it rising more steady than before if we look over the monthly chart than it is pretty easy to discover in which direction it's heading. I think so in next few months it will get more better value.

I guess that there will be a flippening between ETH and XRP in terms of their total market cap and their rank on CMC.

This is not an impulse, at least for now. There are no signs for rapid growth and Ether cannot grow on its own without Bitcoin, like and all altcoins.

[Kisleav]

am buying some more eth at this price just for the fork which is upcoming this January.

[columbocrypto]

am buying some more eth at this price just for the fork which is upcoming this January.

Indeed a steal and with upcoming PoS we'll be able to stake too!

[Karlitosss]

I hope ETH will skyrocket soon, constantinople is coming and looks like bulls are rallying right now.

You are mistaking the terms. Crypto and blochain are two different things.
 Companies can easily create their own blockchains and leave all altcoins to die.
The fight right now is which coin will provide the best, easiest to adopt, cheapest to adopt
technologies for a blokchain. All of them hope that some huge company will then buy it for billions.
Simple as that. No cryptocurrency exists for the sole reason of existing (except maybe Yenten and Doge).

Blockchain and crypto can be seen as a huge, crowdsourced startup. And what happens after startups
actually start? Someone buys them or they die. In some rare cases they grow so fast
that they can afford to exist on their own (as Bitcoin did).
