Topic: Moment of silence for Ethereum please.... - page 3. (Read 3686 times)

I think this would help the price stop the bleeding for some thing and regain some trust because some people believe that going POS is a way the Ethereum foundation want to centralise their project

No no, the ethereum is still alive, it is just fluctuation of price and yea.. yea... A little problem on ETH's network 
But i am sure the developers ethereum will doing something for making ETH become nice,
Usually they always take other innovation for it, the most commons do the hard fork.
Because of ETH price going down doesn't mean it is die.

so, you can tell us the future with certainty? what a nice person you're! coming from the future to make us rich.

you gave us the definition of FOMO. ok. and who said it's gonna happen? to me, it will be the other way around.
the whole dump till now were the "weak hands"(actually, the smart share of investors) dumping. now it's the point where it should go up, but no one is buying eth.. so the price will keep falling till the bagholders panic sell and it goes to 1 satoshi.

if you think the dump already happened... to me, Panic has not even started.

I can never agree with this statement but hey if it works for you then good.
when I am gambling, there is no way I can predict anything or prevent my loss. for example if I  want to make 30% profit and I make a 1BTC bet I can lose all 1BTC in just one click.
but when I am trading and want to make 30% profit even if the altcoin I invest in gets dumped I can sell at a loss and based on my speed I can minimize that loss and keep something like 0.99BTC still.

now you tell me which one is better?

Yeah, I must agree with you. It's like gambling, nothing more than predictions and speculation, some will make profit, many will lose money, same that gambling. I still prefer gambling, there I have things under control, with altcoins the things are more unstable for me.
Trust bitcoin, this one has proved will survive and keep the price high, in altcoins don't go with all your faith, it can be a mistake.

It really is like gambling isn't it? Predict up or down, high or low, you have half the chances to get it right and no consequence for guessing wrong unless you pit your money where you predict.

But with you on this... Eth facing same pitfalls as btc and its resilience is remarkable. To me this makes me more confident. Would bitcoin have survived similar issues in its infancy?

I can tell you with certainty that ETH price will rise to above even $12, why? simple really people seeing slightly increase of price and think it is better to buy in before they regret it and thus buy after buy resulting in price to recover and the same recovery will cause even more buys to a point that we might even see the value ranging around $20 in 2017.

Agreed.. a massive death blow to ETH when that first fork happened.

What concerns me ever since it's launch in 2014 was it's sneaky scammy crooked launch.
THAT will stain it for life no matter how respectable they try and make it seem later.

There seems to be no way to get it through their head that you can not simply engineer a scam coin to the advantage of the dev's and insiders at launch then smooth it over later.

I think the concept of an ICO in the context here is crooked to begin with.. but !
Ethereum took things to another level.

There was a variety of signs from launch day something was going on.
And the massive hype campaign and pump sealed the deal.
It was a prophecy that panned out later..

V. Butters told you all he cashed out something like a million dollars worth of ETH.
And he had plenty more where that came from.
How did he get them ? Was he a multi-millionaire BEFORE the coin was launched ?
I think not..
He had friends with money such as Coindesk who suspiciously were on-board spamming about it as it was about to launch.
The same people who were pouring millions into the ICO on the first minute of Launch of ETH.
On my Scam topic i made in 2014 on ETH users reported a person or group was buying a non stop amount of ETH at launch in tons and tons of 100 BTC buy orders.
This should be setting off large alarm bells.. and it did for 2 years as people avoided ETH.
But once the scene changed to a greed mode where launching ICO's was *NOW* acceptable..
it became ok.. no matter how crooked the launch was.. as long as it was getting super pumped in the start of 2016 people threw morality out the window and turned a blind eye to the scam.

Ethereum is a corrupt rigged ICO scam scheme coin from day one.
Anyone with integrity would have avoided it.
The rest bought in ..in the hopes of taking profits from the scheme.
Exactly like the hoards of fraudsters who wander around trying to sucker in MLM victims.

eth is dead, look the fundamentals and stop denying.
How could anyone sell a "smart contract" that is not immutable? the whole concept died in the first fork.

plus, every week we have one more fork.

Pathetic thread and even more pathetic replies from the haters. Haters always hate and that's why BTC went through the same announcements of death.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win. – Mohandas Gandhi

Stay away from eth unless you want to burn your money. You have been warned.

Thats what im trying to say since on the first page that ETH wont easily die  and  price dips are just normal on crypto world and it normally rise and lowers its price due to some reasons like traders do tend to sell off their Eth thats why it lowers its price and the main reason is that bitcoin value do rise its just my speculation though. Lower price means an opportunity to buy.

Its not really dead yet. Its just drops because many people panicked and they sell their eth. Lets see in the following week if theres improvements. Actualy this is the good time to buy some of it. But im not recommending to put all your money to this. Crashing is just normal to happen at cryptocurrencies. Besides, if you look and summarize when the eth just started. Its not even $1 a piece when eth started and look at the price now.

Eth for the longest time has been overvalued. No dapps, blockchain that hardforks every month and gross mismanagement pretty much sum it up. Why would someone pay $10 for something so broken? I think eth is going back to its launch price of $0.40 or so. If the devs get their shit together it may come back to $10 or so in the future but honestly i think it is a dead project at this point. If you want smart contracts you are better off looking into rootstock and counterparty.

Also something i have realised about eth shills, whenever positive news comes out they distance themselves from bitcoin and claim they are the next best thing. However when something goes wrong they are quick to point out bitcoins flaws like they are even on the same level as bitcoin. Satoshi was/is a genius, vitalik is a clueless programmer who has no long term vision heck he does not even understand what a blockchain stands for. Perhaps the guy who spent 10k btc on pizza should request bitcoin be hard forked so he gets his coins back lol.

Stay away from eth unless you want to burn your money. You have been warned.

Wonder what would happen if Ethereum was to announce it was not gonna go pos coin and stay
pow coin?

Would that stop the slide?

Nice to see Ethereum giving Alt coins an air of respectability at the expence of its own reputation self-imploding.

Well, maybe eth can not say die. it happened the same as in bitcoin or on other altcoin. I think the price decline eth is a common problem in cryptocurrency, and perhaps, because of this many people are trading. Well, I expect that prices fall eth over again, so that I could buy it in large quantities

You can though. Ethereum can be used at several online casinos to place bets with such as NitogenSports. So you can not say it is totally useless and you can not do anything with it.
Isn't that how bitcoin started in people's minds in the beginning.
I was saying "What the heck am I going to buy with this. Nobody is taking this yet." Atleast where I was living at that time back in 2010.

Losing a couple dollars is not the end of the world.
The project still has some great ideas and may gain some upwards movement when projects like Augur are finished.

But the main issue is that the coin is still just used for trading and investment.
You can't actually DO anything with ETH yet. Which is why I was surprised that companies like Coinbase started selling it.
At least with Bitcoin and to a MUCH lesser extent Monero you can spend coins on goods.
