Ethereum isn't meant to be a currency, so don't compare it with bitcoin.
Even they have more nodes, faster transaction and POS system isn't really useful because more nodes isn't always better, bitcoin transaction is very fast if you spend at people who accept zero confirmation, PoS system only makes a currency lost it's value over time.

I think BTC is only currency, on the other hand Ethereum is a whole package/platform, inside this platform we can also find Ether as being currency.
I think slock.it and DAO will push Ether in "currency" direction where you will be able to pay all sort of services with Ether.

I agree, this whole halving hype will leave so many in the community burned...
We might see a crash never seen before and even stagnation of the entire network.
Sad it has come to this.

"Second, people will just seek for another train to get fast profit and those trains will be Ethereum and Lisk for sure, especcialy after the halving bubble, Ether and Lisk prices will be low." are you referring to traders or miners. Because the latter i would have to disagree.

I'm relating to whole market which is made mostly by traders.

How was the "Third" related to the halving?
This question might be a little 'dumb' but I didn't see the relation of that statement to the halving, hence I asked.

This is time after the halving occures.

Halving will make only daily production of BTC lower for 50%, from 3600 BTC daily into 1800 BTC daily. When you compare those 1800 or 3600 daily with whole BTC volume on the market (16 million) it's clear that halving is not the one causing the huge price pump, especcialy on short term.

So the halving mechanicly is not the trigger which would make that sick rise in the BTC price that we all expect. People and their greed will make the halving bubble puffed as many will buy BTC to make halving profit, so people holding BTC and not selling it, and many others trying to buy them will pump the price since the demand will be greater than supply.

After halving my guess it that the bubble will explode hardly. WHY?

First of all miners will get half reward then they do now before halving occures. If you watch the news you can see mining farms getting shut down because it's no longer profitable to mine BTC, it's profitable only in China and similar countries with low electricity price. Some people already predict there might be a lot of delays with BTC transactions after halving occures since there will be a low number of miners.

Second, people will just seek for another train to get fast profit and those trains will be Ethereum and Lisk for sure, especcialy after the halving bubble, Ether and Lisk prices will be low.

Third, BTC is popular in the whole world, it's the first crypto currencly and this is what will keep it alive but new technologies such as Ethereum and Lisk will just take a big chunk of BTC market as they keep rising fastly. Ethereum already has more nodes than BTC, it transactions are fast, there is no fear of mining stopping ever because of it's POS system, their potential is huge and it's still 99% unused since only few simple dapps are online.
