For me it doesn't matter what others say but it is what you think or believe of Ethereum, do you think Ethereum is a scam. I believe i is not a scam though the team easily got very carried away with their initial success which resulted into slow down in the development of their platform,what is left for the project now is to reach new height by scaling up their platform

There must be a reason why Elon Musk made this statement because this coin, ETH is not a scam coin and the coin is just going through some though times from which it will soon recover.

I do not know what he was guided by, stating that ethereum is a fraud, however it seems that he does not understand cryptocurrency. I had a better opinion of him before that. Yes, a person can not be an expert in all areas, too much specific knowledge has accumulated humanity.

I don't believe it. Some bad occurrence is happened with ethereum but it does not mean ethereum is scam. Peoples are investing on this project and earn lots of profit from this project.

for the first answer then you will see how important Etheruem is in the circulation of cryptoucurrency.
I also see Etheruem as the best for the future in terms of smart contract.

How can we forget the possibility of a social media manager operating on his account and giving out the reply on behalf of Musk? Even if it is Musk himself, I don't see the reason behind the concern here. He is entitled to his own opinion and we don't really need to believe what he says.

Seriously? And who will gain from us selling all our altcoins? This market is highly volatile and manipulated by media. His opinion is just an opinion, one of the millions.

To be honest, I don't believe this. Because Ethereum is a good coin and a very potential coin for investment. Even though actually it is a marketer / who does very good marketing. But on the other hand, Tesla is also a really good car and Elon Musk is a great marketer. I really respect him.

It is an amazing thing that Elon musk is aware of the crypto currencies and ethereum. Shocked

But why we need to consider it as scam since we have that is in usage for few years now and still lot of projects developed on the ethereum blockchain so they have the better future right?!

Elon Musk, the maniac, the myth, the brick, the legend? Whatever you take him to be, you can't deny that he has an ill-famed presence within crypto. According to recent reports, he's now on the bandwagon of Ethereum, although he is suspicious that it could be a scam.

Another FUD to add the discomfort on every Ethereum holders, this is totally a fake information, they think that with this kind of information, keepers will sell their ETH immediately, obviously, it is manipulated by the whales.

The only reason I hate ethereum is the ease with which children can create a token. Its not a scam but a tool for scammers! Ethereum also has an inconsistent chain, transactions are prone to disappearing into thin air! Yes they do disappear, I have been a victim several times. Non of these "alt-chains" can replace the Bitcoin chain, because unlike bitcoin they have been tools for the wrong people with the wrong reasons for developing/using them.

Scammers just use Elon Musk name, they don't have any relation to Ethereum. Ethereum as coin can't be responsible for people like Elon, as it can't be held responsible for their promises. So no, Ethereum is not a scam.

Ethereum is a tool for launching ICO, As soon as a more advanced tool appears Ethereum will become unclaimed. Maybe that's what Musk meant.

ETH is not a scam, at least no in the conventional meaning of the word. it is just a centralized shitcoin with a lot of money to spare in order to advertise and pump the  coin. there are also banks involved with it which are supplying some of that money as an investment and are making a lot of profit from it. they will eventually dump it and move on to the next thing as shit hits the fan and they can no longer prevent the crash.

Even greater people than Elon Musk said not to trust anything that is in crypto space. Just look at how its creator, Vitalik Buterin is somehow warning every people that are in the hype/bandwagon. They would rather tell people to stay away than let people invest then cry about it if they have losses. So I think this is one of the great things about how many people are using the FUD to push down every other coin's price. DEAL WITH IT OR GOT WITH THE FLOW IS THE KEY.

You have to get what you want your own way.
Then I think its probably good idea not to hold Ethereum, I mean its Elon Musk is not just some influential man but a genius with tons of connection. If he thinks that it is Scam, then it won't hurt believing him right? Though I myself, have been wandering for a while now, almost all altcoins has been using Ethereum for a long time, yet the value of it seems really low.

These news are spreading because Ethereum is having the worst time of the year. If the situation improves things will be changed for Ethereum. Let's hope for the best.

something I've never seen or heard of such an interview. This information is spread specially by intruders in order to reduce the price of the etherium.

As an Ethereum investor, I never think that ETH is scam, even though its price has decreased continuously. I am still waiting for profit and for the right time. Hopping for recovering the loss.

Have you read the final line:

“At this point I want ETH, even if it is a scam.” If these are his own words, then there is nothing more bullish that could come from him in talks of Ethereum, eventually it supports Ethereum.
I strongly urge everyone to read all body and not just the heading or the posters.

Well, Musk did rather weird by playing along when people lost money, trusting fake accounts, but he didn't say ethereum was a scam. He just said that he would want it even if it was a scam. Moreover, the tweet was deleted, so perhaps he changed his mind after seeing how people interpreted his words.
While eth itself is surely not a scam, the platform is still buggy and it made a lot of people lose their money one way or another. I turst eth in general, but I try not to keep any, because I lost some of it once on a scamming yet popular at that time ethereum-wallet.net.

It's not like whatever Elon Musk says become the golden rule for crypto community. He hasn't played any role in the betterment of this community which might give him the power to decide which coins are scams and which ones are true. Stop being concerned with whatever these celebs says, just stay strong with your own instincts.

I don't see where exactly Elon said that ETH is a scam. "Even if it is a scam" doesn't mean that he believes it to be a scam rather it seems like a joke to me. Elon has been known for providing controversial and funny replies where he likes to add a pinch of salt. I see no harm in it.

Bitcoin is GOD
The Ethereum at its best even bitcoin ! Maybe he'll say that bitcoin is also a Scam ?! Let go digging in your mixer and will not go where he is not asked !
Look I do not think that ETH is a scam and in fact I think it is a decent coin but ethereum is nowhere close to bitcoin, many people think that is the case but they are completely mistaken, ethereum has simply too many flaws that we cannot ignore anymore, the issue of the distribution of coins it is always brought up and that is because those that criticize ethereum for it are right.

Then we have the fact there is not a limit on the number of coins that are going to be created and if that was not enough we had the issue with the dao that caused the hard fork of ethereum, and for many people the reversal of the transactions that took place is a huge issue that is never going to disappear.

If there's blockchains were a scam, don't you think they would have exited a long time ago? It's quite difficult to build something up to a level as high as it currently is whilst being a scam, since it requires the great majority user support. I really don't think that ETH is a scam, in that it is intentionally trying to defraud people of their money. It might be misrepresenting its current potential, but even that is probably due to ego rather than malice.

This is one of the stupidest articles I've ever had the displeasure to read. I actually figured I'd have a long text, video or audio from Elon saying why he did not believe in ETH. But it was just the opposite. It's just a little comment he made related to Twitter's problems with Bots.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Ethereum. Only users making spam to generate some change and this irritated several personalities, including ELon. Title clickbait and unnecessary matter without any content.

The Ethereum it's a good coin, though it did a very good job marketers. On the other hand, Tesla is also a good car and Elon Musk is as great marketer.

Well, we all have different perspective about ETH because for me this is a good coin.
I make money with ETH, so I don't think this is a scam. Technically, there are some problem with this technology but I know it will be improved in the future. Let's see this if Elon Musk is correct or not, there is no sure about this market anyway.

The founder of spacex and tesla, increased his net wealth by 16bil. In the last 5 years.
And still has time to hang out with psychotic goth chicks to snort mdma and a 3some  Cool

But he does make stupid comments from time to time. You cant believe everything a drug user says, they are high sometimes and say dumb shit.

This does seem a bit unbelievable that he thinks ETH to be a scam. Yes it is true that the coin has been facing but some tough times, but it is still a bit of a shocker to hear this coin as a scam. We do need reasons behind the statement that he made.

Coming from Elon Musk, this does seem a bit surprising that he would make such a statement about ETH. This coin cannot be a scam simply because it took a huge fall. Let's hope that ETH is not a scam because this coin is the next best one after BTC.
