Topic: ETH price soaring. Are you going to move some BTC into ETH? - page 81. (Read 198796 times)

i doubt there will be more fiat going in now it's the weekend.

it's all down to BTC, XRP, and LTC holders to decide if they want to take the chance that they're not going to be the ones dancing around the chair that gets taken away when the music stops.

i'm not sure the price will go up or down that much in the near future. i predict an impasse. the change will come if the BTC miners decide enough is enough and it's time to bring forward their plans for the halving effect to return the market to 'stability'.

Don't be cryptic.

Why not convert 55LTC this week to Ether? It's not a huge loss either way and is a nice small bet.

I did moved some BTC into ETH and still holing.

what was that announcement?

And maybe they just did listen to the subtext of that Bitfinex announcement 

yeah you have a point on lisk...weak moment with a friend....so I said what the heck and got 1btc's worth (sure looks pretty thou 27k of lisk)

as to LTC my equip ROI'd long ago.....715mh.....I'm mining LTC at 98c per LTC from electric to coin So LTC is NOT a problem.....still doing 55 LTC  a week

bound to happen someday....but I take you point the moment I would 'invest' in Ethereum it would TANK. (hey its a gift..that and missing crypto boats of any type)

You can take the horse to water...

Sometimes people just don't listen to salient advices.

Reading this you should consider investing against yourself. If you throw money at LISK or whatever happened with LTC there (not sure I follow) you could consider essentially countering whatever you decide to do. In this case because you are wary of Ether it likely suggests its a good investment.

It's not always down to hidden forces. Let's assume people are thinking this is quite close to the rise of Bitcoin - only much later and less likely. But still possible. So I think we are seeing people investing in little chunks. You can see it on the walls that you've got a wide spread of smaller buys. At 12USD or so it's still not that expensive. Especially if you have Bitcoin already. Is it a big deal to buy 10 or 20 Ether just for kicks? Not really. I'm certain this is what is happening. I don't think a dump is likely for some time because there's more money for now in people entering and holding.

yeah........but again.....kinda an odd week for me..I'm usually such a 'sensible fellow'

But I agree right or wrong missed boat or not..it is 'amazing' how much this coin has pumped......my feeling is boom or bust it is the 'anti-bitcoin' or its the FOMO
because it is gonna replace bitcoin hype....and folks with bigger bucks then myself (newbies) in which the FUD of Bitcoin made them nervous (ie btc is evil everyone
says so) is the main movers on this pump (whatever the outcome)

no more home miners to push for IPO bucks...cloud mining is same..kaput....new vistas new ways to fleece folk imho (again I know zip)

so hell at least it is moving up the chain and newbies (again imho) with more bucks then sense are moving this....makes sense imho a newbie guy who can put in IPO

type bucks is a lot more attractive....assuming they are susceptible to the same 'razzle dazzle' as cloud mining and paycoin used

whatever I again have *no balls* so will watch this 3 ring circus from the rear of the tent (then again trump as the republican nominee.....this is more likely to
replace bitcoin then that ever happening imho as of 6 months ago)

pretty confusing last 12 months and I have not even got into the 'weather' yet

whatever.....

my 'analysis' (LOL) is that there has a been a rush to ETH before the week ended to catch the official release of Homestead. it's a self fulfilling prophesy.

will there be enough buyers when the sell starts? the price could crash down due to a lack of liquidity.

Oh look, the price is now stalling. i hope people have their exit timing worked out.

I have none ..but my 'guess' is people see the banks using this for testing....see this as what the banks use to move their more 'private' tokens on this 'centralized' coin...ie comfort level...and main thing it is NOT the evil "bitcoin" so you can talk about blockchain and get investment dollars for your IPO ICO etc etc....

much like early miners......only now instead of 'home miners' being the cheerleaders they are using that idea to get 'big IPO' newbie money to go into this RAH RAH!

(remember the big IPO hype for 'cloud miners' took a lot of newbie big buck version $$$)

So I sit here and scratch my head (like most here almost bought in a btc or two at 95c sheesh)

will this have 'legs' as the anti-bitcoin...if so at 450 buck btc 10-20 bucks for ethereum is NOT out of the question

or will it go pop?

don't know...but damn it is looking like if they had a decent wallet and got their act together ...it could very well do so

remember PAYCOIN a lot of FOMO money flowed into that....and whatever you say about ethereum ..it is legit in the sense compared to paycoin imho

not sure ..still on the fence......(no balls)

edit: in my defense I shot 110 ltc last week to Carnth (one of 4 main administrators on litecointalk.org) and you guessed it 'hacked account' thus why the site is down
either a fix or the hacker with super powers of an admin...flushed the system

Also had a buddy put 12 btc into the lisk ico........so I put 1 btc into that ...tonto to his lone ranger if it all goes 'tulips' I can talk him off a ledge

was kinda a 'dumb week' probably.....so.....I'm NOT trying to drink the kool aid on ethereum.....(ah the heady days of kool aid drinking in 2013 )

er...shudder..anyway ...what I mean to say is I KNOW ZIP.....but in the 'morass' of my mind....at this point in time ..what is rattling around ...

this could be a good thing for the bitcoin ecosystem.

most of ETH'S cap is from BTC, and the squabbling BTC aristocracy might finally understand that they need to cooperate with each other to protect their investment.

It is still going up, without single bigger dump or big correction, just straight up. Don't know where the top will be, but damn, the dump will be spectacular...1 billion for currency which was until last week in alpha release and no single shop is accepting it? There has to be some hidden reason for all this hype

It is amazing. I thought the price would stop at $10, but it jumped to $13. The market capitalization is also over $1 billion.

You beat me to it! Just saw: it passed one billion.

Looks like it's going to 0.04 - 0.05. Wow...

Lol, are you still mad bros??? the crazy thing is that you still have time to jump on the wagon, even weeks and months after you guys said it was all a bubble that was gonna pop in the next hour.

Maybe when ETH passes BTC in market cap you will listen.
