I have nothing against ethereum but I honestly don't see how such a big, inflationary supply can sustain an high priced token. I don't know what the fair ETH price is, but those expecting bitcoin tier prices are insane.

If the new supply is kept at 18 million a year, the inflation will be high initially. But in 50 years, the inflation is just 2% a year. In a thousand years, the inflation is 0.1%.


That's way too much time. In 50 years Bitcoin could be so high that it was simply a mistake to ever hold ETH beyond shorting it for more BTC.

If the Ethereum keeps the PoW and also reduce the block reward gradually, the price could be very high.

But the developers and the large bag holders want to make money out of their existing holdings.

Things are called shit for a reason, dear.

It is a good article. But you could claim almost the same for Lisk and Waves. Probably even for IOTA. So, being bullish is surely not a bad choice but you should consider other promising projects in this area, too.

Interesting article from the cofounder of Coinbase Fred Ehrsam.  Very bullish on ethereum and ether.

Huge news on Kraken.

Anyone notice this (older but should be spoken about)? https://news.bitcoin.com/vitalik-buterin-ethereums-price-rise-increases-our-sovereignty/

Ethereum to go to POS early next year, which we heard of, but then to reduce emissions to 0-2 million per year! WOW

BC: When will the issuance of Ether taper off?

VB: We are planning a proof of stake switch early next year, which will greatly reduce issuance, likely to 0-2m per year.

The Ethereum will go to pure PoS later next year. At first, PoS is just used to verify the PoW blocks.

That is right. So we can have a year also time to mine the Ethereum. Then use the Ethereum to stake.

That could be a good idea. The could be the reason why the hash rate has risen so much in the last 6 months.

The Ethereum price is very high at the moment, it is almost $15? Is there any good news out there?
Well there was a massive successful sale of ETH to the DAO. What did you expect to happen to the price of ETH with so much of its supply locked away out the market???

But the daily supply from mining operation is till high. It seems they are all absorbed by the community.

Inversely, check out this article about some of the issues with implementation of smart contracts vs reality (the necessity of a trusted Oracle to report events to the blockchain, which brings up centralization issues).

I love the concept of smart contracts, but I must agree, this is a glaring hole in the usability of said feature.

It depends where the buying pressure is from. If the people stop buying Ethereum to get into DAO, there will be fewer buying.

Not only that, DAO would sell ether once it starts running.
Remember what happened to BTC price when all the coins collected in the Ethereum IPO were sold?

When the Ethereum IPO started, the bitcoin price was around $600. A year later, it was around $230.

We always say, I hope I did invest before because the price
today is way higher than before.
If we do not risk we will not get anything and will just keep saying that. When we invest, we always risk and so let us not put all our money into one thing. Smiley
We can not tell the future of Ethereum, it still depends on the usage of the coin.
