It is always good for a coin to rise naturally, than for it to quickly pump because of that news and then dump when the news is not available again.

you are missing the point with altcoins! there is no "natural" rise in altcoin market and if there were then it wouldn't be worth investing into such coins because they wouldn't really give you much of a profit.

what we have in altcoin market is pump and dumps and that means unnatural rises that happen fast. so the only thing you have to do is to adapt to these types of pump and dumps and be fast about getting in and out of these shitcoins for the most amount of profit.

What you mean by Ethereum 2.0? Improweded Ethereum after hardfork or some other coin which going to re-place Ethereum?
If you want to but ETH before hardfork than better to buy now I think. Because after hardfork price will grow if everything will good and they have some improvement with scalabity etc.

I have 5k and i want to invest in Ethereum. But i read that Ethereum 2.0 will come soon.

Would you invest the 5k tomorrow in Ethereum or wait for Ethereum 2.0?

in my own opinion probably buying the real ethereum is still the best idea since it's very cheap and most popular than that upcoming eth 2.0. And as the matter of fact we have no certain information about that eth 2.0 so must choose the most reliable , indeed for sure investors will focus on the unique ethereum when market gradually increasing because 100% sure ethereum will follow to increase along with other altcoin in the market after the stabilization.

Nobody know that ethereum price will drop or rise when hard fork is happened, so it's just a gambling game, buy now and pray for the price rise later or wait for hard fork happened and then start to buying cheap token. Anyway, If I've $5k I won't put all the money in Ethereum.

One should be careful of falling victim of similar thing that happened to traders or investors when the hardfork of ethereum was announced.
It is always good for a coin to rise naturally, than for it to quickly pump because of that news and then dump when the news is not available again.
If I were yo, I would wait for a major news that will bring great value.

The market situation actually isn't motivating many people to invest in cryptocurrencies generally. Ethereum is indeed a highly valuable altcoin, but I think you should diversify your investment among many coins and tokens, to minimize the level of risk.

I heard about Ethereum 2.0 but I don't think that it will be released in the nearest future. I think it would be better to stay in usd or bitcoin. I don't suggest invest in Ethereum before Constantinople, if team will delay it again, Eth will fall in several times.

I think its a good choice to invest in Ethereum now because its has dropped too much from its previous high and now it has stabilized its price due to upcoming fork and it may give you some decent profits in month or 2 months.

I think for now we are only sure of the stability of Ethereum, we are not too certain of how the Ethereum 2.0 would be. It may not have an acceptable price like the current Ethereum.

You should invest now because if you wait, you will miss the opportunity to buy ETH at the current low price. Try to own a lot of ETH and altcoin in the bear market and wait for a bull market to appear

I think the price is as good as it gets right now. I would suggest investing right about right now. Always try to remember to put some stop loss so you do not get bummed out if the price falls. In that case if you put something like 5% or so in stop loss you will get your cash back with a small 5% loss (who hasn't had that much of a loss in crypto) but if it goes even further you can recoup more ethereums later on and hope that when it goes up again when the 2.0 happens you will profit much more.

That is the defensive strategy of course, keeping the coins and putting stop loss, there is also offensive strategy where you keep on buying the more you can afford, don't just let it be at one entry point, price always changes, have multiple entry points and you are safer.

Ethereum is already at its minimum values. I strongly doubt that he will fall even lower, but he must grow with a very high degree of probability.

What I like about Ethereum is that there's no one that can beat him every day, even though his rivals are increasing every day.

Technically speaking, NEO, EOS, Waves, XLM and many other platforms are still trying to pass Ethereum.

I think that you should first of all start from the state of the market at the moment when you plan to invest. I think that you can invest in Ethereum, but only when It falls back to 80 or even 70 dollars.

Agree with you, I also believe in ETH and waiting to buy it at the price like you mentioned. In 2019 a lot of DApps on Ethereum platform will be released so ETH will comeback.

Ethereum 2.0 is still some time away so there's no real hurry if you're wanting to gain benefits from the increased usability and adoption by investing for that reason, however, with high quality cryptocurrency assets like this you're better off buying it as cheaply as you can and now it's representing good value and even though it could potentially get a little bit cheaper you'll find long term the current price is not overvalued whatsoever

there is no ethereum 2.0, and no it is not worth investing in it no matter what it is called. ethereum is a bad investment even if it has given some people big amounts of profit. it still is a terrible project because of all its flaws and bugs and the lack of important features such as decentralization and immutability and security. and when it comes to its price there is no future for it in long term because it has no cap. there literary is unlimited number of ETH available which will eventually make it as worthless as grains of sand.

I think investing in ethereum now is a good decision to get more profits, because now is the right time you can buy it.

I think you should invest now because when ethereum launch it's 2.0 platform the price of ethereum will increase at that time you can take your profit, investing after price increase isn't a good decision.
