That's a very bold statement to make that there will probably be no immediate or short term gains. You can't justify that.

I want to make millions of USD with short-term investments (I know I won´t) and give that to my children.

I think some posters here need to do more research on their own, ethereum is not new, it's been in development for a long time now. There is plenty of information on the net about the developers, their past projects, etc. They are some of the most popular and well-known people in the cryptocurrency realm.

What most people, including me, who are used to throw-away type altcoins and have grown so skeptical and cynical, don't understand...is...ethers are not coins. They are tokens to be used to "rent space" or complete any action on the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a programming language which allows developers to build applications on a decentralized internet.

For example, you have a website...your website is hosted on somebody's server. But if you have a website hosted on Ethereum, your website exists on the blockchain. It's decentralized and updated through the mining process.

For those who think Ethereum is a coin, its not. It aims to be the beginning of the next generation of internet, where the entire internet exists on a blockchain, everybody pays a little ether for every action they make online, and the whole net is supported by mining ether the same way the "bitcoin ledger" is supported and updated by mining bitcoin.

There probably will be no immediate or short-term gains. But it might be something you can buy and give to your children and grandchildren.

I have a hard time seeing how this could be a good investmente

I don,t see

They are still working on the algorithm but it will be POW or POW/POS.

Doesn't the ether distribution go down every year.

I can't find any information on the mining

Will it be PoW?

Also, it depends on adoptability. If it's  adopted at wider level, miners are not necessarily going to dilute it, as the adoption rate could be higher than coins generated by miners. I am going to invest anyway, even though it could be risky.

Holy crap, they got 1000 BTC more over the last hour.

6,272,778 ETH sold | 3136 BTC

Let's say they are able to gather 10K BTC for 83.5% coins. It's 12,000 BTC market cap, 11th place on coinmarketcap.com.

Ok, it looks much better. Could bring 200-300% profit short term.

What the use of ether coin?

I can not figure out the profitable model of holding the coin.

thoughts?

Agree I'm sitting this out too!

I've got NO idea if this is a sensible investment... When does the presale end? Is there a cap?

This must be the most ridiculous IPO I have ever seen here if you can look past the pretty marketing.

So they are selling 83.5% coins?

I can't find it even after you posted it.

My questions are these

[1]What has Mr. Vitamin Bulteric actually dev's in the past......?
[2]It looks like Ripple is also doing the contracts thing how does it differ to Eth.
[3]NXT seem to be also doing the contracts thing, so how does it differ to ETH.

One note is :

ETH has explicitly stated it will comply with legal orders.
This means all of your IPO funds are fully seizable by any GOV that wants to.

Depending on the code base it may be that ETH if not decentralized can take by legal order to fork to get your funds or identify you. Maybe someone can clear this up in relation to the code base for ETH.

I don't think the pre-sale can be profitable for investors.

You can get some information if you go to https://www.ethereum.org/ and click to "Buy Ether".

We're on the same boat.
