It is better than not having the grants however it doesn't directly means it will go back to moon because of it neither.
It will help it out and it is definitely great thing to hear however there is no direct correlation between the price of ethereum and the wave of new grants given out. Hence, we should hope that it would have a great affect soon but if it doesn't we should not be really surprised and shocked because that is also expected right now at such a stagnant market.
It could have a slight spike, not something major but something like %10 or similar and that would be really enough for it right now considering how much it dropped and how hard it is to move it forward these days so even a 10% increase would mean a lot of money saved by the miners selling at a higher rate.

I'm still buying and holding ETH because I think this is really one of very few coins that can have a future even if crysis will continue because it is solid and with a very good team. Let's see if in 2019 ETH will come back to its maximum as I expect
okay lets see , now price is good i think

yes, that's why ethereum is a valuable asset that we must have. ethereum has a lot of support from the company, various erc20 tokens and also great developers who make ethreum always innovate and evolve into pioneers as the best platfrom provider.
But those who have supported Ethereum because of its support to token based erc20. But they are the ones who's destroying Ethereum as well because they keep on dumping it causing the price to lose almost 90% now. As for the news regarding fourth wave of grants, it might push Ethereum price again but its going to be a long walk towards another all-time-high.
You should check the icostat site and it will tell you a lot about what condition of ico right now.
It's so cheap to create a smartcontract and i hope that vitalik will be thinking to create such the more requirements to generate the asset that called ERC20 token.

I don't think it is a reason for increase in Ethereum price but it is certainly a positive fundamental news. Ethereum is actually pretty undervalued due to many reasons (ICO companies paying their expenses etc.).
I totally believe that are good news but their impact we be measured in the future.

I think it says about incessant work with this platform. Many projects have ideas how to expand and modify ETH blockchain. And it mean that this blockchain have popularity. But nothing more. I don't see any reason for growth in this news, sorry

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the fourth wave of grants awarded to 20 different persons and entities working on the Ethereum blockchain, it revealed in a press release Oct. 15.
According to the release, the total amount of awards is over $3 million. The biggest grants worth $500,000 were given to Prysmatic Labs and Status. Both companies are working to develop the Ethereum 2.0 ecosystem first announced by co-founder Vitalik Buterin in November 2017.
Grant recipients were divided by the manner in which they contributed to the development of the network, such as scalability, usability, and security. Adult entertainment platform SpankChain received a $420,000 grant for working on the open-source software developer kit (SDK) for a non-custodial payment channel hub.
Other large grants went to Prototypal and Finality Labs for front-end state channel research and the development of forward-time locked contracts, respectively.
In the announcement, the Ethereum team has also expressed its gratitude to members of community, promising to increase their involvement in the network’s development:
In February 2018, six large-scale blockchain projects created the Ethereum Capital Fund. OmiseGo, Cosmos, Golem, Maker, Raiden, and Japanese venture capital firm Global Brain announced they would grant a cumulative $100 million to different projects that developed the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. Buterin subsequently announced he would join project as an advisor.
Buterin himself also donates money to open-source projects building innovative technologies such as scaling solutions for the Ethereum Blockchain network. In September 2017, he announced that his advisor shares from OmiseGo and decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Kyber Network would be donated to charity or used to fund Ethereum second-layer infrastructure development.
This is a Good news. after the pressure and the real challenge in the past. Being shared with teams and sponsors will help offset the gaps caused by imbalances from incidents and scam projects on it. This should be shared to bring great confidence to investors. The gap at the end of the year is closer. But with these positive changes. Hold more ETH for long term and we will have success.According to the release, the total amount of awards is over $3 million.

"Thank you to all the fantastic community members that have applied with creative ideas on how to bolster our ecosystem. We would not exist without the time and energy that you put into Ethereum. While the program continues to grow, we will increasingly continue to involve more community members in the decision making process."

There is still nothing said about the projects developed by Casper, Plasma and others, which will actually breathe new life into ethereum. What is worth only the promised scalability, initially in hundreds of thousands of transactions per second, and in the future - millions of transactions per second.After that, ethereum will be able to just fly and will remain the most reliable and popular coin.

Well, the showing of gratitude from ETh is really praiseworthy. Also, by doing it, the ETh is attracting more investors to invest in ETh. And it also kinda secures that ETh won't just fade away all on a sudden.

Its good to see ETH showing their gratitude toward the developers. This would encourage them, in turn ETH will develop its usability and security. Buterin is working really hard to make ETH better.
October 19, 2018, 06:14:06 AM
I agree. If Ethereum platform is not a centralized system that all of the control of the platform and the development progress has been doing only by the team. The erc20 is still created everyday.

This is a great news. From this incident it is clear that the growth of etherium is still happenning and the coin has huge potential;. Hopefully etherium will be in a far better position by the ebd of this year.
October 18, 2018, 02:15:07 PM
agree with you
This is good signal and perhaps the end of this year will have better signals from ethereum
This coming from the Ethereum foundation will spur it price which we expect to surface by the end of the year 2018. ETH hodlers should look out for more fraction to hold and get ready to shoot to the moon. Ethereum Network has displayed a lead in ERC20 and striving to the top on CMC. This is good signal and perhaps the end of this year will have better signals from ethereum

more coin, more space in ERC20, then marketcap get....

yes, that's why ethereum is a valuable asset that we must have. ethereum has a lot of support from the company, various erc20 tokens and also great developers who make ethreum always innovate and evolve into pioneers as the best platfrom provider.
But those who have supported Ethereum because of its support to token based erc20. But they are the ones who's destroying Ethereum as well because they keep on dumping it causing the price to lose almost 90% now. As for the news regarding fourth wave of grants, it might push Ethereum price again but its going to be a long walk towards another all-time-high.

Someone told me, ERC-20 will be outdated soon, but I'll see it always bring good improvements, good hope for it
