If it happens and demand is high i may have to offer a rain-check.
One gummer per customer please.
And Donator / VIP are eligible for the special "Blumpkin" package.
Sorry noobs you get just a half ass disinterested hand job. (full member or higher requirement)

Fun Fact:
The men of New York city ejaculate enough semen in a year to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.

But anyway LOL
There is no bloody chance in hell for a LOT of reasons.
I think anyone pondering this question is dumb or literally a day 1 noob or a deceitfull shilltard.
I am so sure of this i would wager gum-jobs for all of crypto !

More evidence that most alt coins are garbage.

^ and if ETH doesn't beat Bitcoin, he'll still give free blow jobs to everyone in crypto

lol the question is laughable. In the coming months? even in the coming years there's no chance for ETH to take over bitcoin

Ether would not take over the bitcoin. Ether is being pump now because of  the looming hard fork on bitcoin. But if hard fork happens, I still don't see Ether overtaking bitcoin and soon bitcoin will still recover itself from the price dip and will slowly rises the market price. Then a lot of Ether holders with dump it and buy bitcoin again. So I the upcoming months or even at the end of the year, prices of bitcoin will be at the $1200++ range again.

Your poorly thought out SPECULATION topic violates the rules.

If ETH can beat Bitcoin i will give free blow jobs to everyone in crypto. 

No. Ethereum or altcoin are an alternative coin, we have known the alternative meaning and can't replace/take over a main one. If you meant about ethereum's jumping up, that's just an altcoin and even it is how to know how much the price for each coin ?.

The recent Ether rise was fueled by speculation alone and fear of a bitcoin hard fork. If bitcoin price drops further watch Ether drop also as traders sell Ether to buy cheap bitcoin.

Etherum can be cloned, and another coin can handle contracts just like etherum could, and there may be a cap to how much etherum can become worth.

The other currencies, zcash, monero, dash, etc.., with their anonymous technology, which will be predominantly used by criminals to move cash, I don't believe will get a lot of momentum. I don't believe they will ever come close to the market cap bitcoin has achieved. Right now I see no rival. I am not saying there is no money to be made on those other currencies, I just think you have to be ontop of things and be ready to buy and sell in a instant or you may be left holding the bag. Too risky for me. I will stick with Bitcoin until something better comes along.

That will not happen, because bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency. See the current bitcoin prices are coming down, maybe it was because the hardfork

Bitcoin is in a bear market, but that specifically has a lot to do with the uncertainty over BTU and the hard fork.
But bear in mind that Bitcoin accounts for more than 60% of total crypto market cap. I don't see ETH overtaking Bitcoin that soon (in the upcoming months).

Okay. So if the currency is a scam, but the technology clearly is not a scam, how does one "invest" in the technology without the currency? That's ultimately what's happening, right? The technology is becoming popular, people want to invest, and the only viable method is the coin.

Yes, it will be worthless stuff, they will dump and run, and some of you will be left holding the bag. As of right now, Bitcoin is the only real thing.

bitcoin will remains the first crypto currency. and the bullish moment of eth is related to last days news about btc unlimited/sec etc.

Unless you specifically mean the inherent code itself is designed to allow for massive theft of the value of the coins, define what you mean by scam?

Are you referencing this as "tulip mania" or do you just mean it's designed as early adopters massively make money, dump, and run?

No, Etherum is a scam. Just like Dash, Monero, Zcash, and the rest. Stay away or you'll regret it.

Raiden will have something to say. If it will prove to be a success and make ethereum massively scale, then it will surely threaten bitcoin's position. I think it's the deciding factor that may tip the balance in favor of eth.

Ethereum was never supposed to be a currency, yet people are treating it like it is. This is one of the main reasons why it will not take over bitcoin in the upcoming months.

People are simply speculating and riding hype waves instead of seeing the tech for what it is.

I thought Ethereum was supposed to be moving towards Proof of Stake at some point? Therefore, there will of course be a rise in price as people try to get in before a change happens.

However, it's still a completely speculatively currency only really benefiting from the underlying code that does not depend on the currency itself, no?

And thus the basics of manipulation in price completely takes over when POW becomes POS. People will buy in trying to earn ETH. However, a large price drop will scare people into panic selling.

Large price movements up create panic buying as people try to get in before it is 'too late'.

Typical institutional-style runs on stops (both long and short) take place, creating volatility. Volatility destroys trust in the currency. Then it is bye bye Ethereum as early buyers get sick of the uncertainty and cash out.

Of course, this is opinion. But it just seems the hype of the code in ETH mixed with fear of BTC is the sole driver of the price increase. Where is the actual -value- in ETH that isn't tied to smart contracts/coding that do not technically require ETH to utilize?

Note that laws in the United States are being made to allow for stability for banking institutions to adopt blockchain style methods into their business structure. This of course may move towards smart contract coding. Do you really think they'll be trading in ETH?
