Topic: ethereum added to gemini exchange - litecoin ignored , as expected (justified) (Read 1590 times)

Kinda surprised their exch hasn't picked up more =S
Why?  To big name? To centralized??

I hope 1ex.trade become busier!!

The Ethereum price has risen quite a lot. That might have something to do with the listing on several exchanges.

a dead exchange with no one care is trading a hype crap coin. perfect match to gains some customers.

First time to hear this Exchange (Gemini Exchange) 
Mind share a link to their Website?

Plus they Own some Eth..  'Material' amount what ever that means

gemini is only for new york people, very restrictive rule, too much regulation i think, but we all know that litecoin is garbage now and etheruem is far better, but i think that etehreum was choosen over ltiecoin because of its marketcap over its features

The Bitcoin Trust has been going up,low volume (GBTC)

a) gemini is irrelevant

b) can't see regulators being too happy about them listing an ICO lol (though it was approved by New York State Department of Financial Services, i doubt thats the end of it).

No, they have been trying to get a Bitcoin ETF approved for trading for years, but have not had success in getting it approved. I think it is likely that eventually there will be both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, but right now the regulators are still stalling all efforts to make that happen.

Many markets supports ethereum it is time for buy and hold them. Because after halving block of bitcoin price of ethereum will going up. But it is just my opinion.

The point is adoption and access to ETH is slowly increasing. No matter what you or anyone else thinks and says.

Aaah...I'd say that Bitcoin was the victim of bad press, which is more common than you think for an alternate investment that bursts into the mainstream. Believe it or not, when gold burst into the mainstream in '74 or so it got pegged as the favourite asset of wild-eyed survivalists and so-called "Profits of Doom."

I really don't know if that slagging results from political bias or normalcy bias, but it is part of life's hard knocks. Bitcoin's arc through the mainstream press ended up giving Joe Average notions like "Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme," "imaginary money" [a phrase my brother used on me], "unregulated" in the sense of scam-ridden, etc. There were lotsa Joe Averages who really believed that Mark Karpeles was the "CEO" of Bitcoin!

That's how ordinary, low-information folks think. They go by exciting stores and buzz.

But, "the public memory is short" - and Joe Average does have a tendency to go with the flow. In the mid-1970s, gold was a running joke in the Wall Street Journal's editorial page. In the mid-1980s, the Journal matter-of-factly published the daily god price along with the stock averages.

Based upon the knowledge I soaked up while wasting my time and money in used book stores , Ethereum has the luxury of the "we're not Bitcoin, we're clean" image. The professional cryptocurrency: that kind of thing. But I wouldn't count Bitcoin out. LIke gold, it can shake off its bad press.

Yeah, makes no difference to me that a coin that I never used wasn't added to an exchange I'll never use.  I'll never use ethereum either.

Agree with this. And while the press constantly mention "criminals" and "money laundering" in connection with bitcoin, there is no mention of that when they talk about Ether. Perhaps Ether's PR dept is much better at promoting the coin!  

Litecoin secures your Dogecoin 

Is there going to be an ETF for Ethereum?

Thanks for the CNBC linkdrop. Interesting how much press Ethereum is getting in CNBC. It's actually better quality press than Bitcoin got, because Bitcoin's arc in the mainstream media was "bubble press": started with the huge leap >$1000, ended with the implosion of Mt. Gox.  

On the other hand, Ethereum's press is linked to startups; no bubble talk. Ethereum actually has a good shot at becoming the metonymy for "blockchain."

What about their ETF, did they give up?

Good news. I created a topic a while ago to tell I'm holding some Ether, I'm not the only one. I'm also holding some dogecoin. I don't know what litecoin is.

People still bag holding LTC?
