Hi everyone, I've been around for a while now.. 
I've seen a lot of posts positive and negative about Ethereum.

At the moment I am holding Bitcoins, but I have invested in some Ether as well.

Now I am wondering, what are legitimate concerns about Ether (except for IPO, as I've already read this in a lot of posts).

So can anyone bring real other issues to the table, to enlighten me (and maybe a lot of other readers?)

Thanks!
Ethereum is the second next oldest crypto coin next to bitcoin.It has survived these much years in front of bitcoin.It shows its potential.The only drawback was the hard fork which led to split of ethereum into ETH and ETC.Running in smart contract is one of the salient feature of ethereum.

Ethereum is a good investment in altcoins, because the price of this ethereum, were probably stable in the market. That's why I'm surely assure that their value in the market were raised up sooner or later.
yes i also think so, i think investment in Etherium is  a good decision as compare to other alternative currencies as the price is Etherium is expected to increase more and more in next few months. therefore there is nothing wrong to invest in etherium.

 Might be a good time to revisit 'alt'.  Is bitcoin granted a forever monopoly to be the only 'real' coin? Maybe alts that have 10%  or more of the market and are used for things should be up on tier 1 with bitcoin and newer unproven coins maintain the alt labels? Eth most liekly will pass bitcoin in every meaningful way, especially if the btc devs/foundation never get their act together.

Ethereum has proved that is a decent coin. His price has raised more then double in the last weeks. I believe that it is the next Bitcoin! I suggest you to buy some and save it for at least 6 months
Yes there is no doubt about this. I think still are some other altcoin with good potential. 

I mostly invest my money in trading such coins, as it is always expected that the price of these altcoin will increase specially when the price of bitcoin will stop increasing and will remain as stable currency. For this I have already in mind some currencies to be trade.

Possibly. Though watch out for a rival smart contract platform from Ripple.

The Ethereum price is quite stable now. It seems it is consolidating and will rise later.

Hello if Op decide buy bitcoin when date he started this topic the price of etheruen is only $10 I remembered correct me if Im wrong and 1 year after the price now its $90 OH MY gosh your money become 9 times what if you invest thousand of dollars . You will become rich now. Ethereum is a good coin because they many projects that create and also partners. You will buy ethereum and for sure wait again 1 year your money growth .
What do you think what was the price of bitcoin just before 1 years, I think it was trading in 500 USD and now it is trading in 1900 USD so those people who have invested a good amount in bitcoin right one year before they are really rich now. 

Currently people are still investing money in bitcoin although the price of bitcoin is trading above 1900 USD, because bitcoin has still good potential to increase its price.

Ethereum will replace bitcoin soon, 1000$ ltc money maker buy before the train  leaves
i think you buy ethereum when the price is above 0.06 BTC, so you want to get your btc back in value of your investment,,
because all of crypto users know BTC will always in the top from the others crypto,,  Wink

Bitcoin has gotten a lot of reputation worldwide and I  think ethereum cannot replace it. Ethereum on it own is doing well and I think is a good altcoin and because of token many coins are being developed on ethereum network.
yes agree with you eth is good Alt and the total market cap is about $8,257,640,505
maybe the price will hit 0,1 BTC in this year

Ethereum has gone up so much, there is no idea invest it in large quantities, if you invest in a small amount you can lose. When he invests heavily in large amounts.

We cant really tell if the altcoins was good for you or not it is both good and in some way bad we know the circulation of the market value price the price can also manipulate in some ways so you really need to take the risk in investing in altcoins.

I am sure those who went for the option of staying away would be blaming themselves now that, they should have done otherwise. ETH has actually made a come back from the sleeping position it rested in the past months that makes a lot of people wrote it off. But now, its now a corner stone. What I expect is to see campaigns being paid with ETH, gambling sites start adopting massively, faucets coming out massively for ETH among other improvements to the currency.
Yes  I am also sure that the price of Etherium is expected to in crease more, because even the price of bitcoin increasing continuously and most of the people have invested their money in bitcoin but still the price of Etherium is not effected, therefore I think if the price of bitcoin is going to take a correction then people will invest their money in Etherium and therefore I am hopeful that its price will then increase more.

Ethereum for me is a good altcoin after this years. Even dump and pump happen ethereum is still the best coin. And I do believe I can earn big profit even holding at this time.

Yes, it is a good alt-coin and many new projects are accepting this coin. Also, bitcoin transaction fees go up then many small transactions people may choose ETH and it will create a slowly more demand of this coin and prices will go up very high. But not sure whether it can reach bitcoin prices or not.

I hope to see another rally in Ethereum and i have now turned my attention to wage a bet in alt coins because of faster transactions and i hope i can convert some good amount by winning some good bets. With the price of ETH going down last week some of the ETH contracts i am holding also went down,hope they will pick momentum soon.

things are scary a little in ethereum and etherum related stuff at the moment, with poloniex having problems and them dumping most of the altcoins, the risk of prices tanking is very high. not to mention we are in a big bubble all over the altcoin market.

also there have been a lot of ICOs using this platform and we all know how they are mostly scams in disguise. and when they start falling apart they will take down the price with them.

I think etherium is at least good to hold right now if you have some. I hope that it is a good long term investment.

ETH is one of the solid coin, with large market capitalization. Buying more eth, for me equals reaching bigger profit in the future.
Marketcapitalization is not the best factor to use when you want to evaluate a coin. Ripple has huge market cap and it is even not real cryptocurrency.
As some people think that because ETH is cheaper now it has more room to grow and soon it will reach parity with bitcoin's price.
They fail to realize that bitcoin will grow too, considered present bull run, probably even at a faster rate than before.

The ETH market cap is a good measure as all the coins are in circulation.
