Ethereum still survive at the market and looks like this is a long term investment.. but i can't decide if they are staying long.. because i heard that ethereum is scam many times. they are just experimenting the market.. so i think better to stay away...

If there is further development of the Ethereum and it has many new application, it is not a scam.

I think the top 10 market cap coins are not scam. They are being developed actively apart from the litecoin and doge.

The top two coins, the bitcoin and the Ethereum are being developed actively. They have the funds to do so.

These two currencies have most chances to succeed. They can also learn from the their clones.

The problem is that some of features such as the anonymity cannot be implemented due to the community consensus.

The opinions differ a lot in these two communities. For the bitcoin, even the block size increase debate takes a long time.

There are some good usage of the Doge. It has been used as a tip money for some time. Litecoin has to find some usage.

Ethereum also has to survive the inevitable bugs in the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine ) and user written contracts. When those contracts start becoming real with actual value attached and popular enough that it's worth spending time to analyze you're going to see every hacker in the world trying to exploit those contracts.  So the real test is can Ethereum survive a confidence loss when the media is running multiple headlines about money disappearing because somebody analyzed a SolC control flow graph using satisfiability and discovered a way to steal millions of dollars.

It's not just exploits... but scams that ultimately kill a platform.

Ethereum reminds me of NXT circa late 2014 when it was worth close to $100 million.

The DAO and the NXT AE are quite similar...
In that they create a vehicle for every Third World scammer to strip the platform of $$$...
So Ethereum is morphing from something serious corporations were building on to becoming a scammer's paradise.

In market terms, the NXT AE was actually more advanced than The DAO...
Because every Asset sold to investors began to trade immediately and became subject to market forces...
While The DAO will give money to unaccountable private groups in exotic jurisdictions.

It doesn't matter if people are anon or not... it's perfectly legal for your business to fail to deliver.

Market forces of the AE exchange was a BIG PLUS, but not enough...
Because 18 months later all the $$$ is in Eastern Europe and NXT is worth only $7 million = dead.

The Ethereum Cult views itself as invincible, but the way The DAO was handled was very scammy and dangerous.

If ethereum survives the alt red bath on bitcoin halving , its a good alt.

When the bitcoin price rises due to the halving, the altcoin price will also rise shortly because people want cheap coins.

IF it rises, it has a high probability but it is far from a sure thing that BTC price will go upwards due to halving.

If the demand is the same for the new coins, then when the supply of new coin is reduced, the price will rise.

That's a pretty huge IF right? Because of the supply being cut in half, it means less BTC for miners to earn/sell.
Unless BTC doubles, it's less attractive to mine and transaction times will shoot up --> less demand --> lower price.

The transaction time increase increase will be temporily. The difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks.

I also think there is renewed interest in BTC after the surge, people are reminded of crypto's potential.
So they will look around and find ETH as well.. so a bit of new influx of fiat

I think it is not the start of the new pump. There is no big good news. That is just a new value finding process.
