I came across this interesting article the other day about the Ethereum 'flash crash' that took place on Coinbase back in June of this year, and how Coinbase is now being investigated by the CFTC for their margin trading service (now discontinued):
https://news.bitcoin.com/coinbase-under-investigation-for-ethereum-flash-crash/
I'm wondering if anyone here was impacted by this and how something like this was even possible? It didn't seem to affect the price much at all considering it apparently jumped right back up to the $300 mark but it makes me wonder whether or not something similar can happen to other exchanges?

Bitcoin is the first cryptocoin, and its application is in a much larger range at the moment.
Ethereum is a good competitor, so if its inventor kept updating and offering competitive advantages, it would a good investment.

i think eth in the future will really surpass btc market cap, eth has too many ico recently some are good coins some are not, i can see eth hitting $1000 couple of years from now due to this big market when its ico coins grew very big eth soon will follow, flaws? it also has like its security eth devs must upgrade its systems its smart contract are good points also
Buy ETH, forget that you bought, remember it after long time, enjoy being rich. 
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!

By the time that you posted this thread I hope you at least doubled your investment in eth because it is a good coin next to btc. It's normal to have doubts with other coins especially if they just started. We have no idea how it will compete with the crypto community so it's normal to have doubts. But eth we know is the next best thing after btc and thus, have proven itself on its own time. We should remember that btc also started as a valueless coin so we should give other alts the benefit of the doubt and give them a chance to prove their use.
Yes Ether is also my favourite altcoin to invest and after reading the above link i am much more confident that ether have bright future and its will go up surely, all details give in the above link, and all doubt cleared after reading the above link. Now i am going to invest more in Ether for next 2 years. thanks buddy
Ethereum is very solid alternative coin but you should consider eth as a long term investment.
It is true. I have hold the ETH for more than 18 months.
I think Ethereum is a good altcoin to buy. It will have a impressive future in the next years! I am still in Ethereum and I am not going to sell 
Well it already have an impressive result, for the past years that it have been existed. As you can see it is now in the second place of cryptos. And many ICOs have chosen to fork their tokens to Ethereum and quite some of them are successful, so it affected its market price and got boomed at today's state. 
Ethereum is good altcoin after bitcoin itself, see the price now. Don't worry to invest or trade on eth, just learn the strategy & practice. Know your skill and manage your mindset also money to get the best plan to invest/trade. Eth will grow as bitcoin itself, find the opportunity to get some profit. Focus on eth news, practice some strategy and always learn about risk. Have a nice day.
Ethereum was run for long time ago, so I'm confident that this altcoin was not scam. I think no risk if we are deposit and invest to this coin because we are all know that we incurred income to this coin. Also I have no doubt regarding to the ability of this coin maybe, sooner or later it will replace the bitcoin as top 1 crypto currency.ethereum can't spend itself and just get away from your wallet, there's no way it will be scam.

With its smart contract technology, it's absolutely a good one to invest some good amount of money in. Do not mix ethereum with other useless altcoins please guys.
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.
You don't buy when it's up, you buy when it's down. But I don't think people are obeying this basic rule, and by looking at the marketcap, a lot of people can get burned out of it.
Current trend ethereum is goin down . For ethereum success there was lots of Ico happened based on ethereum backed token . In that ico lots became loss for investor some became huge failure.

Aslong as investing in ETH is profitable, there is no problem why not. People are eyeing altcoin/s not just ETH where they can gain and profit for their investment. Many users, means profit and good investment.

Based on my experiences, top coins like etherium will always be a good investment for each and everyone of us. Sooner of later as bitcoins price goes high, ethereum basically would go with it. So if you are a believer thay bitcoin will somehow skyrocket in the future. So as ethereum. Remember that $71billion dollars current (dollar volume of btc at this time) of bitcoin would be slowly reducing its doubling ability because obviously it is a big money man. So picking 1 of the top tens in the giant market would be a really good decision. Never hesitate buying as long as you have money, cause you might end up crying because you missed the chance buying at the current price
I think Ethereum is great altcoin because it has the 2nd highest market capitalization.
If Ethereum is not a good altcoin there is no way it may attract that such capitalization by investors.

putting in 2nd position in the marketcap, i think it needs to hold and stay put baby!! ethereum has a very wide road run it. communities, ico project assets and the team behind it, stay!!! relax, and have some wine. 
My answer is : 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. probably in the future Etherium will be most good crypto in the world.
Ethereum is very solid alternative coin but you should consider eth as a long term investment.
