Topic: Ethereum fork for short term profit? (Read 557 times)
As you could see, just before the fork, the price collapsed due to the found vulnerability and the postpone fork date. The part of people who wanted to make money on the fork bought coins just before this moment, and they did not have time to sell them before the collapse. Thus, they suffered a loss due to unforeseen circumstances.

I’m looking to purchase before the fork, investing maybe $1k, for a short term profit. Hoping the prices rises, I can sell before the dump. If there is the drop in price, these can also be held longer term until profitable.

Yeah that would be good. A truly business minded individual should not make any trade with losses. So if the coins value still.not profitable to trade what you said about holding it until profitable is a good attitude. I just hope that it was being applied to you and you walk the talk. If you are looking for a good altcoin that even in bearish market still increases its market price then search for CHT tokens.

After hard fork of ethereum it gets dumped already and I don't know how it will be rise up again as you can see lot of altcoins also dumps so no exact day for increasing again.
I don't think it's worth investing in Ethereum right now, as its price is more likely to continue to fall. I think we'll see the price of $ 80 again soon. In a bear market, it is better to wait.
EITher short term or long term profit
Investing based on hope and not research s always a short term loss
Now that the fork has been postponed, and the market is red
Where do you get profits

I hope you had made some profits before ETH dropped to around 120$ this week. And I feel it will rise up again as the last week of February approaches. I just don't get why a reschedule is necessary, I think I miss something.
The hardfork had been rescheduled to last week of February so this will be a long wait and you can observe with the price movement of ethereum before the hardfork. There could be a chance that the whales will take this as a chance to get more ethereum before the hardfork so we may see a price dump on ethereum after a 2 or 3 weeks. Hardforks always is a great chance for short term profit but be careful on what price to enter.
I think you can buy ethereum now, because now the price of ethereum is also starting to rise, so you also really will get a lot of profits.
I agree that now you can buy Ethereum but it is better to sell it when the price reaches 170-180 dollars
It seems to me that in the conditions of growing market cryptocurrency will be a good decision to invest in Ethereum for the long term.
Obviously, this is a good coin that will grow in value over time after the market has risen, and then it will be possible to sell it profitably.

with the decrease that occurs in Ethereum at this time until its position is displaced by XRP from the best altcoin, that does not mean Ethereum will experience continuous difficulties. Ethereum is still the best altcoin at this time that has a large volume and a clear concept, only takes time to be able to fix and develop again. You can make a long-term investment for Ethereum.

I have the same thoughts as you in this matter. But there are different ways we can do it. I bought at least 1000 coins that are currently low prices for me to hold, and I will not sell even though the price starts to rise. I want to hold on for a long time.
This is the right thing you did, try to wait for a while. The price of Ethereum is very fluctuating and it is very likely that the low price hitting the bottom is a stepping stone for ETH to rise higher and higher
Not what was expected. this time hardfork ethereum in my opinion was very disappointing because the increase did not occur so much and it actually happened that there were many problems regarding the hardfork controversy

The best time to buy is during it's bottom around the $80-$90 range before the fork and just hold for a month because it peaked at $150++ if I'm not mistaken so that is the best scenario for doing short term profit.
Above $100 though is too much of a risk, but who knows, we might see it attempt to breach $160 range. So try to weight your options and be mindful of your exit strategy as well.
I can say that now you should not invest your money in altcoins. I think that prices will be even lower in a month
some people are still in a state of confidence in investing, only those who invest must be more careful and can analyze the current price. I hope the ethereum fork isn't just for a short term profit. And right now the price of ethereum are still low, it should be a good time to purchase and keep them until it rise.
I mean, I totally agree and follow the intention, rich in the short term. That I believe is possible, but there are some other signs that prove my actions and your words will be correct in the near future

There are no sure on this pump. as we have seen the BCH FORK before after it happened and reopen the transaction and exchanges.
BCH fell so hard for more than 50 percent in the market.
ETH my rise more than double or it can also fall, we are not sure.

I believe that investing in Ethereum is a good idea, even though its hardforks launch was postponed until February. I am sure that after hardfork does take place and the network will be updated, the price of ETH will increase, so you need to buy more coins to make a profit in the short term.

An advice for every investor who has read from a financial book. Don't expect to sell at the highest price, so sell early even though it may not be as profitable as the investment reaches the highest value.
Yes, I think this hardfork will be a short-term profit for investors. And I see the price of Ethereum now too low, so after Hardfork the price of Ethereum will probably be strong and stable again.
Maybe after hard forks that will change, but I do not think that it will give some really powerful impetus in development. All the same, I assume that the situation will change for the better, so that the whole market moves in the direction of growth, and not just some separate part of it.
like now I won't expect short-term profits, but I will be more patient waiting for some time to come with a better ethereum price increase, because ethereum is also a good altcoin in the future.
I don't think this fork will give a huge effect and can give you a short term real profit. However investing in Ethereum is not totally bad, it is a solid project, and after this fork which is an upgrade I think more adoption will come for Ethereum.
You can do that.
You just have to be quick and don't ever be greedy. Because when greed starts to attract you, it will make your expectation higher and its possible that you're going to wait for a bit longer just to take higher profit. We don't know on how much ethereum will take after the fork but I'm long term to it.

Perhaps there is logic in this but risk is also present, in any case, I suggest to wait when in February will tell you the exact dates for the hard fork, then you can convert your altcoins into Ethereum.

I think its better t keep that 1k you have for backup because cryptocurrency as now becom a strange haven for investment ,I'm personally wating for a way out to get my hands on some cash to keep just in case something goes wrong
I think this will be difficult after what happened at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, although Ethereum continues to experience development but the development in terms of development to realistic is only a concept. this will make new investors and experienced investors think twice about investing.

Use your $ 1k for back up fund, when something goes wrong use it to fix not buy another coins for invest/ trade. Hard to say when people use all asset because that is wrong need wise mindset about money management for the worst. People will suggest you with bitcoin, xrp or ltc but not me. Use it for recovery is better step before nightmare comes to you.
Usually there will be a pumping before the forking, unfortunately this time the rising stop earlier and got a correction, and I don't think buying because of forking is a good idea, it's like a gambling because we know that once the forking happen people will sell the coin immediately and it will cause the price fall down quickly
Strangely, no branching has been planned yet, what branching are we talking about? Forks ETCV and ETN turned out to be fraud, and Constantinople is five different improvements for ethereum and no new coin will be formed. Moreover, until these improvements have been delayed due to the discovery of a serious vulnerability, called a re-entry attack, which resulted in theft of funds.

Yes, I think this hardfork will be a short-term profit for investors. And I see the price of Ethereum now too low, so after Hardfork the price of Ethereum will probably be strong and stable again.
In my opinion Ethereum Hardfork doesn't have a big influence on the increase in the price of Ethereum. besides, for now the price of Ethereum still tends to be stable. And I think it would be better if you buy Ethereum for long-term investment.
I hope the ethereum fork isn't just for a short term profit. And right now the price of ethereum are still low, it should be a good time to purchase and keep them until it rise.
If you plan to hold the altcoin in your hands for a long time, you must always pay attention to the development of the project, because if the project does not have any development, the token you hold may be zero.
this is the right time to buy ETH and hold it until Hardfork happens, yesterday HF ETH was postponed and caused ETH prices to down, now I am sure if later on HF happens the ETH price will go up again, then you can get short term profit 
what you think and which would you rather do not effect conferring good. take a look at that fork on the ethereum unreliable as something promising and even increase that crap anyway. It takes much longer to resist in order to get better results and even the time you the verdict to get too late so it naturally shorter term also to no avail.
maybe for the short term, we can see the movement of the etherum in the last week and the current situation. this shows that the unstable east shows an increase, so the hard fork has not had a significant effect on the price of coins in the market. surely it will take longer after the hard fork to rise, for example 6-9 months after the hard fork.

I think its good to hold for long term. Ethereum fork postponed because security issue and i think its good oppotunity for buying because the price is cheap. Altcoin with good product and good development is good to hold for long term and i think it will profitable
There was a pump of ETH on the rumor of the fork but we could not see the price of ETH in full potential as the fork has been postponed. Long term ETH will recover for sure and regain it`s earlier market positions in terms of market share.
Invest or not your decision. The only problem is. what wakes growth. If you invest only in good coins, even in the short term, you can earn good money.
There would not be any new coin guys, hope everyone understands that. The whole Ethereum community has accepted the Constantinople hardfork and there would not be any split. The price will go up directly after the hardfork, but it is delayed one more time anyway.
Waiting to buy after the fork is a risky strategy because it might rise higher between now and then, the dip could be a small one and you won't get in at a good price

Hoping that when a fork happens the price will go up that is a long thought. The average person will "Buy the rumor, sell the news" so when the event fork happens, the price may be a dump, because they will sell. So the right moment is when fork information is spread at that time. If the price is below the purchase price, it is better for long-term gold, the average coin fork does have good potential
Why not make it tentative plan? Unnoticeable Short term can also be long term holding because of patiently waiting and being busy doing other things. Short term can also be another problem if you want to push it at this market circumstances. Better have some plan A,B,C to be prepared of unexpected things to come.
The fork of Ethereum passed, but there was no significant price increase. Perhaps this is due to the general market conditions.
I don't like to speculate on forks but Eth still has a very low price so I think if you want to invest in Ethereum this can be a good idea if you can hold for longterm.
The fork of ethereum can be speculated consider it will decrease the inflation and then it may become a very suitable reason to create a short term profit. But this is sustainable development and those speculators must remember about this because this is really important.
If you traded Ethereum two weeks before fork you could made good profit in short term, but now, I recommend to sell Ethereum because there are some problems connected with delayed hard-fork.

You can trade daily with relatively small profits. but you can avoid big losses. yes this is only a way that I do to circumvent every situation in this uncertain turmoil.
or you can be able to do other activities but of course experience is very necessary.
The hardfork has been delayed due to the vulnerability revealing, so the last growing from 85 up to 160 is over I guess. It seems that 1k for BTC is not that unachievable and if it'd be so ETH will drop below 60 for sure.
Because of that delayed, some bag holders will play again and try to shake the market, be very careful assessing the trend, the value of ETH can go down as there's no further announcement regarding to when the fork will take place, placing some entry around 70-80$ just incase pani holders will start selling their coins then wait till the value bounce back again. 
I don't like to speculate on forks but Eth still has a very low price so I think if you want to invest in Ethereum this can be a good idea if you can hold for longterm.
It seems to me that in the short term you are unlikely to make a profit, the more, you will have to wait!

well we have almost the same thinking. but I think for the price of ETH there will be 80 and stay at 80 dollars for the lowest price. but if that happens it hurts a lot

Ya, news about hardfork for altcoin that is make the traders have additional strategy, they are not thinking about the airdrop for holding coin. We can learnt about NXT's fork, which is make lot of NXT holder crying a whole years.
If you're not miner, don't thinking about hardfork. If you're just trader, you can using that moment for instant profit.

The market is way too volatile, no such surge in the price is been witnessed so far, Looking into short term expect is not a cool choice as most of the currencies are falling! The better option is to hold what you have in your kitty instead of going for the pump and dump in this crazy market.

It is risky to invest in Ethereum for short term. You will lose a huge amount because after the fork, price will drop drastically. However, if you are thinking of long term, Ethereum is a good choice from the current price because it is huge undervalued for now. In a bullish market, it may go up 10x from the current price.
it's better to buy now when the price is low for me. Even if it goes down, I still buy at a low price and can only save for future profits. If I don't buy, and the price goes up, I've missed AND the price is now higher when I want to buy.
Hardfork is a scary thing. this is indicated by the decline in current eth prices.
hardfork this time only repairs the network and does not provide airdrop as usual.

Of course, the plans were quite normal, that is, to start investing in ETH as it was before and then sell forks that would really start to go up. But nothing like this happened, because investors simply left the market.
I can say that now you should not invest your money in altcoins. I think that prices will be even lower in a month
My reasoning: it is better to purchase now when the price is low for me. Even if it drops, I still purchased at a low price and can just hold for profit in future. If I don’t buy, and the price rises, I’ve missed out AND the price is now higher for when I want to buy.
As far as I understand today there was nothing that had been foreshadowed before. Nobody began to invest in ETH as for example it was with BCH or BTG, now you understand that these are ordinary manipulative movements. Therefore, now we can only say that today there is no honesty.
Be careful, now the price of Ethereum may start to grow, because quite a few people will want to make money on hard fork and buy Ethereum before starting a short-term pump,
but it may happen that before the hard fork the price will collapse.
but it may happen that before the hard fork the price will collapse.
I have the same thoughts as you in this matter. But there are different ways we can do it. I bought at least 1000 coins that are currently low prices for me to hold, and I will not sell even though the price starts to rise. I want to hold on for a long time.
Indeed Ethereum can soon soar on the cryptocurrency market, but no one can predict exactly when it will fall to the bottom.
It seems to me, before making a decision on buying up a large number of coins in the hope of their rapid rise, you should weigh everything carefully, a long-term perspective may suit you.

It's already too close to the moment of the hardfork, so I wouldn't expect that short term profit. Most probable you'll get loss. But I can give you 100% guarantee that in long term ETH will make many Xs.
I agree, I think yesterday's growth is just a rebound and we will continue to fall, it is unlikely that the fork brings profit now, I expect a further fall in Ethereum! 
it will not be guaranteed before the harfork ethereum will pump, for now ethereum is back down 1% there are no surprising signs, then we must be careful to invest in the short term.

Agree that short term are always risky as the market can Jump anywhere like pump or dump, Yes these days we are suffering early losses in short term, That's why experts always suggest to plan for long term.
If that is the case, smarter to wait until the loss and then purchase at a cheaper price?
