Still the same as with other big coins. News sites report on a what is hot, because that attracts readers. But they won't report when hype fades and no new news is available.

Also, appearantly "thinking" about using cryptocurrencies, which "may" be ethereum is enough to pump? Crazy to me, for any coin basically.

The way I see it, I hope any crypto out there to make it in the outside world. ETH, Bitcoin, or some third one. Because when this happens, it will be much easier for all of the rest to do the same.

You can say what you want, but this news is very encouraging. For Bitcoin, for Ethereum and for all other cryptocurrencies. News like this just wasn't showing up as often last year.

This keeps getting better.


"Nine of world's biggest banks join to form blockchain partnership"

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/15/us-banks-blockchain-idUSKCN0RF24M20150915

"Rutter said the initial focus would be to agree on an underlying architecture, but it had not yet been decided whether that would be underpinned by bitcoin's blockchain or another one, such as one being built by Ethereum, which offers more features than the original bitcoin technology."

Die hard bitcoiners would be mad not to hedge their bets.

"We are looking into Ethereum because it can save us so much work in programming all the interfaces and infrastructure ourselves."

Another bank looking at Ethereum, looks like current price may be a bargain.What many people who have not kept up with Ethereum fail to realize is that there will no longer be an endless supply of Ethers.Vitalik has indicated that there will probably be zero or even negative inflation after the move to Pos which will mean a total of about 90 million ethers.Even with a price move of 10x that will still be a 1/4 of bitcoins current total market cap.

THe price of ethereum has been pumped today from ~@380 to ~@410
And it is continuing, i was thinking to buy at ~392 but hesitate Sad
I think that it will take maybe few months to a year to be the price stable as for now is all about pump and dump.

From the article, "We are not looking to create a UBS blockchain - we want to use open standards and we don't want to a UBS virtual currency," he reiterated.

"This is really to enable blockchain transactions, whatever the blockchain is - could be Ethereum, could be Bitcoin - we haven't finalised the design, we have just come up with the deployment if you will."

"We do at this point see a lot of value in multi-asset, smart contract-enabled platforms like Ethereum.

Batlin recently tweeted that coding up Ethereum was both nascent and fun.

"It's of course an experiment, but we found that we achieved a lot with this platform in a short amount of time.

Well looks like UBS certainly seems to like Ethereum.They also have a partnership with Clearmatics a company which has Vitalik Buterin as part of their team.No prizes for guessing which blockchain they would be pointing UBS towards.

this can very well turn out to be like the browser wars once the dust settles and each platform gets the time to mature.

I remember a lot of hype behind NXT at the time, sure they didnt crowdfund and crowdfunding hasn't been all that back then since there were lesser crypto companies. So just because Ethereal raise 18M doesnt make them more of a hype. NXT was one of the first crypto to talk about smartcontracts. So people were looking forward to it.

Andyou can see the chart and see now the NXT valuation spiked on the charts.

I see a lot of negativity about the Ethereum. In my opinion, it all depends on devs. If they can deliver all that they have promised (and they have promised a lot, trust me) price will not only recover but increase 10 fold. You'll see. Because Ethereum has this great hype around it and people are just waiting to see is it all just a science fiction or will this really work.

If Ethereum devs can deliver like NXT devs are delivering, I am not afraid about Ethereum future. This is a huge difference between NXT and ETH, one has hype around it second has a scam oreol on its head.

NXT is an interesting story, because is also another proof that nothing can better pump a currency like hype, but yet is very hard to recover hype after it has gone bust.

NXT services also look promise specially with things like Denube Business network.

Wait a minute, which NXT hype are you talking about? NXT was always considered as a scam coin by most prominent bitcoiners (even though I don't agree with this). The only hype NXT had from its own group of people, its own community and some people in the side that saw some potential and invested just in case.

Ethereum on the other side has huge advantage in this area. 18 millions has been collected for God's sake. The bitcoiners are waiting to see what will happen and for majority this is not a scam coin. IBM and Adept are in. Nick Szabo is tweeting about it and mentioning it in the last episode of the Let's Talk Bitcoin show. He is even building some applications on the top of the Ethereum. Antonopoulos talks about it and so on and so forth. 

There a is huge difference in hype in my opinion between these two platforms.

P.S. I am invested in both and I even think that these two platforms complement each other in a way!

I never understood Ethereum, too hard to mine (not about the difficulty, just learn how to do) and no wallet, right ?

Download the binaries from website, install, open gui client (Alethzero), press MINE button --> Profit.

It's so easy ? Everyone told me that was no graphic interface and to mine you needed to do a lot of really hard tasks. I'll follow your guide. Thank you  Wink !

I also dont think the price will ever recover to the opening price unfortuantely.

Maybe I am wrong, but I wouldnt be surprised if I am right.

I heard for the Etherum exactly a month ago,
At the beginning i have bought a lot and at the same time sold a lot(mostly instantly)
Nowadays i see the price that has been decreased too much from (@646 to @400), and i think it's all about pumping and dumping.
Simply this alt coin is unstable about the price/market cap.

the software is too less user-friendly to attract non-techie users... and there are a lot of early adapters who want to make a good gain.

This is a contradictory statement.

The 3 different clients (go, python and c++) are for DEVELOPERS and MINERS ONLY...
And the diversity is designed to avoid the centralization that Bitcoin's "official" wallet has created.

In effect, ETH has not been released to the general public.

If early adopters "wanted to make a good gain"...
They would have adopted the opposite strategy = release a simple, "official" wallet = exit strategy.

While ETH goes through the Alpha Testing stage... here's a list of 100 projects in the Ethereum pipeline:

http://dapps.ethercasts.com/

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Comparing ETH to the NXT Mook Skinning Machine is ridiculous.

Typical NXT project:

(1)  Propose an absurd idea like growing pumpkins on Mars using a mesh of Raspbery Pi.

(2)  Raise $500,000 from idiots in USA... transfer funds safely to Eastern Europe.

(3)  Deliver nothing but fake tech buzzwords, screenshot mockups, random code dumps and snark on slack.  

(4)  Repeat #1 with a new absurd project.

So let me get this straight. After how many millions they still managed to fuck up the distribution curve and still are debating it.

ROFL. Amatuer's playing at being satoshi.....

Rich kid vitalik is just that, a kid, playing with daddy's money.



Because it's not like Bitcoin doesn't have a problem with a tiny elite having mined or bought most of the coins for little investment or anything.

Anyway not sure why people still compare ETH to Bitcoin, they have little in common frankly.
