Topic: Is Ethereum a bubble? - page 42. (Read 27515 times)
When you have too much hype and poor results you're asking for trouble.
EVERYTHING goes into bubble. It's natural price action.
ETH looks like what Litecoin looked in late 2013. so ETH might be bubble now or are we waiting for real eth bubble? 
Offcourse it is a bubble. You can't tell me the price will stay here and level out. 100% it will fall back again to find a new stable point, before the next pump will come again.
After the Slock DAO finishes, there will be fewer Ethereum in the market. So the price could rise a lot from here.

Ethereum could be a bubble. But it has not burst yet. It might inflate again in the future if there is active development.
That bubble is deflating at the moment. Its price has dropped 50% from the peak. It has good correction.
the Ethereum bubble is so much bigger than this, so it needs a lot more correction(s) in order to reach the real ETH value. right now we are still inside the bubble and since the hype is not yet completely over the price will go down slowly with dead cat bounces.
If the price consolidates around the current level for 3-5 months, then it is good for the future price of Ethereum.
The Ethereum price is fairly stable. It is between 0.016 to 0.023 for the last two months. It could be a good investment.

Has anyone checked Poloniex recently?
They have buy ETH orders for more than 1,000 BTC.
I guess there are some wealthy people who don't think ETH is a bubble. I certainly don't think it's one, but I admit we've just seen a HUGE pump and dump operation.

Or they may be orders just placed there to fool people that the coin is going up and there is a lot of demand, but will get pulled as soon as people sell into them. It's an old tactic.
There may some truth in that, but it's hard to believe the whole thing is coordinated by a mastermind. There are hundreds of orders, and there's big money involved. Even with bots, it would be very difficult to organize, then think about the risk. There was a DDOS attack on Poloniex on Monday, imagine the orders fail to be pulled as planned...

I did notice a lot of Ether addresses fire coins to kraken, some with 35k and even 100k ether, in recent days - all had a similar theme, they had received all their coins in transaction from 0xgenesis (pre-sale). The problem is it only takes one of them to crash the price 20%, like today, like last night.
You can see for yourself, this is just one of Kraken's accounts here:
https://www.etherchain.org/account/0x2910543af39aba0cd09dbb2d50200b3e800a63d2#txreceived
I like the contract feature however looks like it is being adopted by other coins like Lisk (which uses javascript and node.js), and no doubt many more, and will probably be built on top of Bitcoin at some point in the near future. 90% of the Dapps look abandoned, which tells me it's quite tricky to do anything useful with the concept. I hope I'm wrong. In the meantime the bagholder model is surely not the best distribution model for these projects as it seems everybody is petrified of investing at a time when their interest is peaked and Ethereum is very much on the radar.
Future developers: Why not take advantage of the contract model and disburse investor's coins to a contract, which trickles the proceeds back to the investor over time, allowing them a slow exit much like company shares. No more bagholders, everybody with the incentive to grow the value of the network and their investment, new investors not scared to dive in due to volatility spikes, developers get funding as usual. Since they could have done this, the answer is probably: greed

RIP another new paradigm. It's tiring to hear the same shit with a different flavor every month. Just GTFO and deal with reality. Which is BTC and LTC.

Many are saying they would not buy it... bubble, etc. But price keeps up (which means a lot are buying). 
Eth price should be pegged to the price of 1 gallon (or liter) of gasoline in my opinion.
It's gas and only makes sense!

The more ETH is adopted the lower the price will go. Bubble is totally speculation driven.
I believe it will continue to go up after downs and ups, like Bitcoin had. They have just changed the website because Homestead release will be official in 4 days. Btw Applications have just started being built. It will go mainstream really when Metropolis will be released, then applications will become easier to be built with many more tools. 
^id put the upper limit around 0.022btc or ~$9, followed by a 50% plunge
That is 50% more than the current price. It seems there are many optimism in the Ethereum community.
Quoting for posterity since it hit nearly $12 today.
I'm short at this point and see it falling back to support in the $3-5 range
