The price of ether is consistently rising for the past two days, base on my observation while trading at yobit, it almost go up to 50%, last time I check was the price is 0.015 BTC then now its suddenly .019 close to 0.02BTC, what are the implications on this, is it good to buy now and invest? I have not yet pulled my trigger so I need a serious advice from our experts here.

buy! quick buy now!

it's falling again, better wait for sub 0.02 before buying, more cheap coin for the you, i would buy around 0.017-18 maybe, seems a good spot, because it was the last bottom

Good call, tho' a lot of that drop is due to BTC's rise. ETH's still above nine bucks.

Certainly it'll be easier for ETH to go x10 than BTC. Say you have $450 to buy a crypto. You can buy 1 BTC or 45 ETH. If BTC goes to $1000 you make $550. If ETH goes to $500 you make $490x45 = $22,050.

So you consider BTC doubling in price to be equilivent to ETH increasing 50x in price

Nonsense

He is talking about markets. Bitcoin is only worth 7 billion - which is still a lot but if Ethereum becomes a useful platform - it could very easily reach this number and higher since it isn't targeting a market that is run by our world governments.....

Ethereum targets a market it could (and is) easily expand into since it isn't trying to be money.

Corporations will not use ETH; they will clone it.

Haven't seen a dapp I want to use yet.

ETH as is, cannot scale.

So tired of 2nd hand statements about ETH. Have you even looked at the code or read the whitepaper?

Although I agree on some certain points you made, I think we are all entering an age where decentralization will be an asset for these companies so they can share and get more data and information. They are starting to push artificial intelligence and IoT and I think the best way to advance in those areas if there's a decentralized model. Ethereum is already miles ahead, they have very smart people on board and many of these coders and developers have the concept of decentralization integrated in their way of thinking. If an year passes by and dapps start to appear, it will be the go to platform for companies and banks to adopt.

Really think about it, if every corporation develops their own, your Samsung fridge won't be able to buy beer from certain stores and you won't be able to turn your house Panasonic AC on from your Apple based car. Security will definitely be more complex and exposed. It's an stupid example but I hope you get it.

They will just make platforms to interface with other platforms; like Amazon video app on iOS or iTunes for Windows.

Corporations will always try to create their own closed market if possible. If this becomes untenable they will join together with their own joint platform; which will probably be R3CEV.

If you think they will ever use something they have limited control over like ETH; your deluding yourself.

Ok I'm not saying you don't have a point you do. I understand that thinking Google, Facebook or Amazon will adopt the Ethereum platform is just not very realistic. If it is then just holding one ETH will make you an instant millionaire really, these companies are worth and used by billions.

However, you do have to agree that many smaller companies, some banks and other institutions can definitely adopt ETH to some degree, it's not easy/cheap to develop your own ETH from scratch and then keep it bug free forever. There are some that already are working with it, a few are unknown (Arcade City for example) but others are relatively big, like Reuters or the Toronto Exchange. I understand where are you coming from but I think it mostly applies to Bitcoin which will never shake its bad image, no serious company would like to be associated with it.
Exchange. It's not very easy to develop your own

Almost all software has an open source version so why don't the bankers adapt it and write their own? Oh yes because they leave it to the professional coders. Ethereum is on its way to being a professional blockchain for all. Don't let the naysayers distract your belief.

I agree everyone really misses the point "oh we will just clone Windows"...

"We'll just clone the iphone"....
the list goes on..

Ethereum is non stop changing and adapting unlike some other tech..

I can see people trying to clone/copy Ethereum and making future alt coins like it as much as they can though.

How about we just clone Google while were at it right?

Just clone!

ETH is open source; you can literally copy it, change the name and make any minor changes you want.

Expanse is exactly that: an ETH clone. If you go to the EXP website you will see they used a Wordpress theme (they don't even know how to make their own webpage) yet they copied ETH.

There really aren't any small banks anymore. The purpose of a company like R3CEV is to develop and maintain the corporate proprietary version. You might want to see how many banks and corporations are already behind their platform. They have already done multiple tests with several of their own distinct ETH clone variants.

When they release a developer platform; expect devs to to code for their platform, for the same reason mobile devs usually make iOS apps.

And stop shitting on Bitcoin.
