Topic: ETH GETTING DUMPED HARD!!!! - page 12. (Read 55272 times)

1)  Eth coin is a great reason to buy a video card and or build a pc.  That means Intel,AMD and Nvidia  all stand to benefit from it doing well.
2) Newegg benefits the gaming industry benefits the mobo industry benefits. many sellers of pc parts benefit.
3) Plain and simple it is really asic resistant.
4) It make a shit ton of blocks every day  which means it solves BTC transaction limits.
5) eths = cars and trucks   BTC = the highway  WTF does that mean?  it  means   it can be for the little guy and it allows for  diversification bigtime

6) ie buy small  things with eth  + buy huge things with btc


7) the original idea was moron  my reasons are better  so they  created a fake disaster to end the dao (thank fucking god)<   this is my hope

It is better to wait until after the hard fork, then decide if we should continue to invest in the Ethereum.

Yeah, I am seeing that ethereum is now taking its place and is going to increase in value, but I will wait and will not invest in there as I do not have that much amount which I afford to lose.

It is difficult to say. But from the current voting by the miners, there is overwhelming support for the hard fork.

Or...Wait for it...

At the moment, the Ethereum price rose from $9 to around $12. So that hard fork expectation is quite positive.

The Ethereum price could be affected:

I think that Crypto community does not have enough gullible people.  Not only does it need more gullible people, but it need more gullible people with money to spend.  How the hell am i gonna make money on these margins?  eth has flat lined for the last 28 days

Ripple's been doing that for years and had no major break through, why would Ethereum be different?  Ethereum technology already demonstrated itself to have crippling technological problems & barriers: such as poor security and blockchain bloat.

This stuff like "we got participation with dem banks, u gotta buy if u wanna be richz" has been going on since 2013.  Crypto community has too many gullible people who eat these press releases like it's cardboard sprinkled with ketchup.

You cannot tell the future since in cryto world there are full of surprises, the only thing we can do now is to invest base on what we believe and with the current situation with ETH, I think it will be picking up as it is not falling back hard now.

Slightly off topic, but I've been out all day. Is there any particular reason eth and DAO are up? Did some news drop that I wasn't aware of?

Really? I heard the banks used Ethereum as learning tool and are now developing their own blockchain strategies independent of ETH. The only issue is finding the expertise outside of the industry (i.e. the BCT community, which might be hard).

It only need to be more secure than a credit card for the banks to be interested.  Most people have had a credit card hacked.  The bank sends you a form to sign to say you had no part in it and then insurance pays...  As long as ethereum out performs the credit card skimming, they will take it.  The crypto community are their guinea pigs.

I thnk the investors are feeling a little fear from Ethereum, so they will not invest in there, for the better future of ethereum a big company should have to adopt it for their business, so at seeing to them people will start adopting it. But still I am not sure that will it be secure or not!!

Nothing has happened to eth since 17th June.  It has stayed pretty flat  between 15 & 21 mBTC.  The real test will be after the 20th July when they fork.  Will it go back to 33mBTC or continue to mooch around the high teens?  No one can tell?  

This coin has the big banks behind it.  I don't think it's a big bunch of small investors at all.  Their forum activity is just not busy enough for that.  But if the whales bail, and i wish that they would, they will not just jump on to another coin.  I would love to see feathercoin or Groestl get some of that market cap but could you see a big bank wanting a slice of something that they couldn't manipulate?
No the whales will stay until the end.... IF there is one.

It will go to PoS at the end of the year and then the only people left making money will be the 250 validators that have bought a stake.  That's when you will see it dumped hard by the little people, but the price will not matter then.  The concept will have been proven and it will be retro fitted to the back end of the already existing banking system and the banks will lay off 45% of their back office staff as they will no longer be needed.

Short term pain for long term gain is the name of the game.  It's like a game of Poker...  your hand does not matter if you can out-bid all the other players and force them all to fold.

The guy in the street will never know the difference.  The plastic card in his pocket will look the same only the chip in it will carry ethereum private keys instead of mastercard keys....  that is if mastercard is not one of the whales with a stake in ethereum.

The price is around 0.018 now. I think it could rise to new all time high if the community and companies support it.

Please explain what ETH is worth without it's functionality working and as most pro's (outside it's echo chamber) saying is irrevocably broken.

For the past 30 days I checked the ETH price graph and It's dumped hard from 0.028BTC the highest to 0.0124BTC the lowest which is more than the half. ETH is trying to recover and I think more investors will join ETH.

Can one respect the democratic vote when there is only a 3.6% turnout?

What does it suggest to the community when ~20% are allowed to be victimized by the will of the majority in a Hard fork?

What does the community think about Kraken's press release suggesting confiscation of users coins after the hard fork?
