Topic: Ethereum: Sinking ship or Sleeping Giant? - page 10. (Read 1707 times)

Ethereum is definitely a sleeping giant, its the best altcoin so far and its still my favourite among other competitors like EOS and Tron, i believe with the upcoming upgrades it will deliver better performance

Yes of course they won't be postponing the development of ethereum 2.0, it will continue until they are ready. I was talking about postponing the full launch when I mentioned 2021.


Probably because his entire portfolio is $100,000 or more. Assuming it's $100K, the $10K worth of Eth is still not a joke.

I think there will be a time when everything will be fine and go back to the way it was, I am now a little bit in storing ethereum, no more than 30% and the remaining bitcoin and some altcoin for short-term sale. And surprises will still apply in cryptocurrency

I kind of think that the dump should be an opportunity for developers to get things fixed & prevent bigger dumps in the future. The market is probably trying to tell everyone that something is wrong and need fixing but this does bother us too much. Price manipulations have even worsen the situation... It's a bit hard to tell if something is going wrong or not thesedays.
I would keep buying if I were you. Price shouldn't matter too much anyway. There are some really interesting things happening on the Blockchain.

Why the worry since you are holding just 10% ETH in your portfolio? Moreover vitalik and team are really working hard to keep ETH at its glory position or even surpass past success, i think you should think twice, ETH still has better chance of growing higher someday

Yes, now in this not calm time it is difficult to determine how the cryptocurrency will behave. Some say that everything will disappear and collapse. Other participants promise a good future for cryptocurrency. But according to forecasts, we are on the verge of big changes in the field of cryptocurrency. Since many other rich countries want to release their very promising crypt. And I believe that now Ethereum and Bitcoin will gradually grow and reach new opportunities in the crypto world.

Have you ever seen DeFi that built in ethereum platform that was really useful for us and fix the common problem in the community? I have not, at least not yet.

Im not sure about does ethereum is really need the fresh money but i just hear if almost a half from the total ethereum were dumped at ATH was coming from the vitalik's personal wallet (pre-mined coin for him)

The fact that the ico address of ethereum itself still contains more than 30k bitcoin at this moment.





I just think if what has already said by ethereum core developers if complete ethereum 2.0 updates can't be done in the next year and they were saying the possible date to complete all of updates in the next year after 2020 which is 2021. it doesn't mean ethereum core dev is postponing the ethereum 2.0

Ethereum is good but in my opinion that makes ethereum prices destroyed because tokens are made with eth smartcontracts, makes people sell eth like investors, dev project tokens or scammers so I think eth is not too good to keep

It would be too late for us to dump what we have today since they have already dumped, once we do it today and the price goes up without dipping a below our selling price it would mean we will be forced to buy back higher price. That is just priceless example of buy high sell low scenario, the last time it went $300 should have been your best opportunity but today I'm not doing it.

It would be better if you could give us a reference to all your concerns.

• $100M stolen eth - are you talking about the Eth's stolen from PlusToken's wallet? If yes, then there's nothing that can be done about it. The dumping continues and will keep on going until those stolen eths are sold out. You can take advantage of what's happening now though if you are for long term.
• Hardforking & constant delay - I would rather call it "network upgrade" but yeah the delay for the launching of ethereum 2.0 is is also delaying the growth of eth both in development and in price. I read that it could be postponed until 2021
• Selling at ATH - Ah well, this came as a surprise as well. But what can we do? 70,000 ETH sold for around $100 million at the time would have discouraged more ethereum enthusiasts if this was announced in 2017. In hinsight, it looks like they actually made the right move. It would have been harder for them if they liquidated later. If they didn't have that kind of funds since 2018, we would probably see ethereum 2.0 by 2025 or later

I'm not a veteran like you by the way. I'm just sharing my thought here.

I’ve been into Bitcoin since 2014. It’s always been my main thing, however I’ll admit I got swept up in the 2017 cycle and got burned on quite a few projects. I eventually consolidated back to 100% bitcoin.

Now I find myself in a situation where I really believe in Ethereum as the only other viable project. I’ve been accumulating Ether to the point where now I’m 80% BTC, 10% Eth and, 10% USDC (prepared to buy more BTC when the time is right).

I’m preparing for Eth 2.0 staking. I see all the Defi projects built on Eth. The stablecoins, the ecosystem. If Eth fell, it would bring a huge chunk of the crypto market down with it. So for this reason, I can’t see ethereum really disappearing. It’s the only crypto that I’ve actually used (I bought something with USDC, an ERC-20 token).

That said, I am concerned about those stolen $100million in Eth. That can depress the value of Eth for years. I’m concerned about the constant hard forking, the constant delay of Eth 2.0, and the general amateurish feeling of the project. I hate that Vitalik, and the ethereum foundation dumped their bags on people at the ATH.

Part of me wants to just sell my Eth for BTC and not look back. Another part of me wants to keep buying Eth as it goes down.

Any intelligent insights on this forum? Not a pissing match, not a shitcoin shill session. Just honest feelings about Ethereum from other veterans in the space.
