Topic: ETH GETTING DUMPED HARD!!!! - page 13. (Read 55202 times)

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?

The Dao token was the first crypto financial derivative.  My reaction at the time was "congrats, they just invented the crypto equivalent of Wall Street". 
When the big banks became too big to fail, and when the unsinkable sank, and the puppet masters intervened, QE1, QE2, QE3,.... it confirmed to me that we needed a less crony way of organising money.  Then Bitcoin came along... and with it came hope.

The whole ethereum thing stinks of a big corporate banking establishment's experiment, to both test their new back-end banking retrofit upgrade and discredit Bitcoin. 

Moreover; the constant chatter over forks for the sake of the price, is deeply damaging to investors  confidence in all crypto currencies.  Ethereum should die quietly, for the sake of all crypto coins.

Uhhh..... being paid $$$$$$$$$$$?

Yet who enabled it?  Why would Coindesk publicize so many articles on Ethereum and ignore authentic projects?  How long can Coindesk do this until they are brought down?

All scamcoins should fail, unfortunately this one took alot of people down with it.

I think getting the stolen funds from the thief is also good. It seems some people like the Ethereum to fail.

LOL!! they are doing the opposite of securing the chain bye HF'ing it! Lol

Price will rise after HF because investors will have new found confidence in the network min securing the coin.

I also think like that. But it is better for me to observe for a few more weeks or even months to see the price action.

I am optimistic that the price of ETH will rise so I have no choice but invest more with the current price. This downfalll is just temporary and we have witness already before that the price has reach to a greater value.

Quite the opposite I'm afraid.

It is better to wait for a few more weeks to see if there is a bottom forming before making investment.

The bottom is still far...

After the hard fork, the DAO owners will get almost 100% of the Ethereum back, so the price will rise.

Pumpers will pump anything what makes them money.
