Topic: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? - page 78. (Read 198796 times)

The last math I heard: out of 70 million+ Ethers currently in existence only 11 million are in the wild. That would mean they are all on Polo right now?

Tell me exactly what's the use of BTC other than a storage of wealth? Go buy a coffee with BTC so you can expend 20% when you realize all the fees and hassle that involved getting BTC in the first place (not to mention using your credit card and bank account info). Oh and tell the cashier to wait an hour or so for confirmation.

Or you could just give your Bitcoin to me if you like?  

This thing has gone up 17-fold in two months - with an increasingly steep trajectory - such that were it to continue this path it would reach 4 trillion before September. Obviously, it must break this trend, and when it does, you will see just how much the holders truly believe in it beyond price.

I can tell you this, they are such adherents of the technology, that they hold over 11 million ETH at Polo and have not even moved it into their own wallets.

yeah ... so what exactly are you doing here using the hated bitcoin's forum, all this doom and sadness might be too much for you ether bankster rainbow-fart pumpers?

pumping a hyperbolic crypto that has at present zero market uses, at the top, looks quite insane btw.

Lol, "bitcoiners" are starting to lose their minds, it's just sad...

so let's get this straight, you can't buy beer, pizza or coffee with your precious ether farts and it's the best payment system EVA! ... ?

  That's the must ridiculous FUD I ever heard from a frustrated Bitcoiner who missed the Ether train 

Get over it man, no financial institution will ever use Bitcoin... it's too slow, obsolete and sustained by an inefficient band of Dev and a greedy community that doesn't even agree on it's on future. although it was fun for the time being, we all have to agree that Bitcoin is doomed.

Are you trolling? Is the same with Bitcoin, are you buying beer with Bitcoin? what are you? retarded? Why would you pay for a beer with "gold"? Same with ETH if its oil. These coins were not meant to replace digital payments. Digital payments work just fine for 99% of the people. They use Visa and Paypal.

I did when it was 90k satoshis, it was just as scary as it is now, even more because back then the bubble and P&D were even more logical. Now it already has 1B marketcap so even if it can drop a lot or be overbought at the time (these things had been said all the time since it was at 40k) I think there's plenty of legit interest on it and it still hasn't reach mainstream news as the "new" bitcoin killer. The mainstream news are just centered on Bitcoin problems and scandals as usual, but wait when they start to talk about Ethereum now that you can buy it with USD at Bitfinex and most likely many other exchanges soon (that means Coinbase, Xapo, Circle...).

However, buying and holding and jumping on this new ship is not easy at all. I now understand the doubts of Bitcoiners in 2013...I'm sure many early adopters just sold at $10 or $20 and never even imagined it could go at high as $1000. I know for a fact that many Ethereum pre-sale buyers sold their stash at 40-50k satoshis or well below 100k...now it's pushing $20.

... so you're buying beer, pizza and coffee with your ether wallets?

Im thinking about going all in on ether, seriously.. And this is way outside of my character.
Anyone here go all in on eth?

What's sad is to watch "Bitcoiners" running for the lifes and trying to invent the most ridiculous FUD ever. Vitalik kidnapped? You don't even know who Satoshi is but you trust some unknown "core" developers and chinese miners and call that a decentralized utopia, lol.

Look man, Bitcoin doesn't even have to die because it has proven itself a good way to store wealth, like digital gold. As a payment system it's a complete joke that will never be adopted by anyone, either common persons or serious companies. It had its time and now it's really agonizing. Ethereum is not here to replace Bitcoin actually, because Bitcoin doesn't even have its own position secured, what's the use of it? Nothing. It was a unique and disruptive original idea that gave us the blockchain, the "currency" itself is a complete failure unless it's used as speculation tool (that's perfectly fine for me though...but many are still trying to make Bitcoin "happen", they think they could actually get a woman to use it for example...).

yeah but the market wont care about that, it is all based on FUD, hype and perception. Mike Hearn wasn't even a real core developer and his tantrum dropped bitcoin 20%.

If Vitalik disappears ethereum would crash, there's way too much hype centralising it around one poor kid who's way out of his depth ... it's kind of sad how they are exploiting him.

The way I see it is they want control over the flow of money, it's a power grab. They want to be the "new banking elite" which is contrary to what bitcoin is.

Coinbase CEO wanted to blacklist some coins from ever being spendable, for example.

They are dangerous and they are the very problem in the current banking industry that caused a need for something better.

It seems there is very strong buying support of Ethereum. It is about $14 now. The price is rising fast. I regret that I have sold most of my Ethereum.

Vitalik  is not the only dev on ethereum. There are over 70.  Vitalik  has created the idea and whitepaper already.

what happens if Vitalik gets ill? or kidnapped god forbid?

then there is the crazy proof of stake experiment in a year ... ether is huge pump and dump to crypto world but it is just toy for Morgan Stanley who have $4.5 trillion under wealth management. You guys are on your own doing the best puppet dance for your new masters than they could ever command you to do ...

Dude, that won't happen overnight, it may never happen...but one thing is for sure, Coinbase, Circle, Xapo and other exchanges are companies that are getting frustrated, that's a fact, so they are at war. And they are in the business of making money, not some fatso anarcho idealist bullshit. They sure don't like missing all the ETH action and if ETH continues its uprising for another month I think it's only a matter of time many announcements and deals will be made.

Now, like I said many times in this thread, I'm not a complete ETH fanboy, I know there is a lot of risk of ETH having a sharp drop in the near future (not sure from where though...) and since I've went almost all in in 90s mark I sort of safe to at least get my money back with some profit. But at the same time, I also think there's a slight chance the real bubble starts in the next weeks when it hits mainstream news and bitcoiners start to move more and more to ETH...

Nothing as big happened in crypto since Bitcoin bubble in my opinion, LTC was a joke compared to this. So even if ETH doesn't quite make it or loose steam, it will be a wonderful lesson for all of us and even a great lesson to BTC devs to get their shit together once and for all. Not that they can fix BTC as a payment system, it's completely unusable and worthless if they are still trying people to adopt it...

When the block size issue is resolved in bitcoin, the bitcoin price will rise again. At the moment, there is too much concern about the unity of the bitcoin community.

There is no limit of the relationship between the Bitcoin and the Ethereum. For example, the ratio between the litecoin and bitcoin is not 0.25.
