No need to call the small price increase as an alt season, the alt season has not started yet, there is a long way to reach the average price of the previous all-time high market values. Ethereum will relinquish the downtrend and the altcoins will start to take a deep breath in the next year. Beginning of the end will be known in a year following the PoS.
I don't agree with the arguments regarding the HYPE and it is too early to celebrate the alt season. The price is under $500 and there is a big room for the Ethereum to reach higher prices above $350. Everything is visible in the charts and the prices will hit the old ATH again. Next year will be very interesting for the crypto traders from my understanding.

can't wait for the $ETH ETF!
Me too. Ethereum will be Top 1 by the end of 2020. PoS is coming..
Things aren't looking bad for alts and eth isn't left of the show either, eth is already up in price just like other alts, at least this shows that there is hope with alts, I know this will only last for a few days before normal down trend will over take the market, I don't think the market has fully revive yet.
One of the few coins that is still mineable at home by a hobbyist and provides decent profits. Its going to suck when they go full POS and there is nothing left for the little guys.
It depends on how they'll implement it, if it'll reward even 1 ETH holders then everyone will be able to join if they want.
Unfortunately I think they plan to allow PoS only to the few top wallets.... in any case even now most ETH are going to the ones already rich enough to invest in expensive mining equipment.
But don't worry... judging by their past update speed, the PoS should be activated at about 2050!
I don’t know what everyone is wearing in this ETH, there are already many other blockchains where you can create your tokens, where the transaction speed is higher. Well, if the POS is introduced only for the elite (whales), just definitely do not need ETH.
Yeah I really like the ethereum blockchain and indeed very reliable, well bitcoin dominance is going down 67.4% and investors buying ethereum.
Not a bad start after a fall, I hope to blockchain eth will have no problems in the future!
can't wait for the $ETH ETF!
oooooooh wait, that's $ADK, not you guys......

Market seem a bit friendly to alts today after such a long time of silence, I can see eth is doing great as well, it shows eth still got 
for those who were making conclusion that eth is dead and other negative comment, once market has fully revive it will only take few days for eth to get back on track.

Just like with Bitcoin, many still think this is still a downtrend with just another correction to a key price level.

I don't care for the price, I just want to see some big updates being finally pushed to the network.
The Ethereum's user-base has been shifting from "users" to "wannabe-investors" since 2018, probably just like the whole ecosystem to be fair... but I hope the developers haven't been distracted and focus on development rather than marketing.
A shiny chair made of thin crystal might be spectacular to look at, but I'd never "use" it.
Let's hope Ethereum doesn't go down this road, or even if it does, there'll be an alternative like LOOM or ARK to save the day, I'm fine with either outcome since I'm 50% a user and 50% an investor.

More recently, Wells Fargo made it clear on Twitter that it doesn’t allow its clients to deal with cryptocurrency transactions, becoming one of the only U.S. banks to explicitly have made such a move. By naming its new project a cryptocurrency, it may have been deemed hypocritical.
Quote
Obvious parallels can be drawn between what Wells Fargo is testing out and JPMorgan’s JPM Coin and its Interbank Information Network (IIN) which this week added Deutsche Bank to the 300-plus other banks on that network.
This raises the (at times uncomfortable) question of interoperability since the JPM’s interbank payment system and coin are all built on Quorum, the private version of ethereum the bank has open-sourced. Corda and Quorum do not talk to each other.
When asked about this, Cabrera said:
“Regarding JPM Coin, Wells Fargo Digital Cash runs on a proprietary internal DLT network that is not connected to any other digital cash solutions emerging in the financial services market today.

Vitalik believes that Ethereum developers will succeed in introducing the "Ethereum 2.0 by early 2020". TBH, this looks quite big, as it has been in under development for years:
Vitalik Buterin: “Very confident” about phase zero of Ethereum 2.0
https://decrypt.co/7885/vitalik-buterin-bitcoin-cash-ethereum-scalability
I must admit that as a big holder of ADA, I'm kind of hating this news.
In the past, Vitalik has failed many times in the past in respecting the deadlines (provided by him), will it happen again?
OTOH, another big news for Ethereum:
Cryptocurrency Payments Processor BitPay Adds Support for Ether

Bitpay support for Ethereum seems to be big news. I can’t say if it’s the stimulus for Ether increasing price, but it’s good news.
About Ethereum 2.0, there are a lot of expectation from Vitalik and his team on that, they wouldn’t want to not impress. I’ll say it might get go beyond deadline, but I’m pretty sure it would be a good effort.

Finally Ethereum is start show good performance against BTC which is good sign for altcoins market as well as other markets are also showing very good signals. We need more bullish scenario to get new investors in into this space and it will make the journey more interesting.
It has risen by 6% and going above $218 now. Just noticed it starting to make a move about two hours ago when it was pumping hard in price while bitcoin price stayed the same.Is this a departure from it following bitcoins price actions?

Ethereum is useless with 20gwei average transaction fees. This is actually ridiculous.
According to https://ethgasstation.info/ the highest Transfer Fee is $1.32 and the lowest is $0.0886. It may not be so cheap to almost run free computing but developers need to come up with better ways to use smart contracts efficiently.

Altcoin market has to come after altcoins found their bottoms in their pairs with bitcoin. When they officially rock, investors who sold at bottom range will do highly regret from their impatience and lack of confidence on altcoin season. I did same type of mistakes in the past, selling at bottom range, and buying at peaks.It often takes months to set up bottoms, so if someone miss opportunities at bottom range, they will do have to wait for next several months to see such chances again.
