Topic: Will 2020 be ETH's biggest year yet? - page 4. (Read 2067 times)

Exactly. No other smart contract platform has been able to surpass Ethereum in usage and adoption within the mainstream world. While many of ETH's competitors are faster and cheaper to use for daily payments, they're missing decentralization and censorship-resistance which is vital for the Blockchain network's survival against oppressive governments and other third parties. And Ethereum has an advantage over its competitors because it's completely decentralized. Even if this year doesn't turn out to be the biggest one for ETH yet, it'll certainly grow in development and innovation. Once developers integrate PoS consensus into the ETH blockchain, things will become interesting for its price as demand will grow like never before. PoS will encourage users to hoard their coins instead of spending them.

Rest assured that Bitcoin's halving event will have a positive effect over BTC and other cryptocurrencies' price across the market. Ethereum may very well increase in price right after Bitcoin experiences a reduction in its block reward. And if the dev team adopts PoS thereafter, Ethereum will be able to reach new ATHs in price. Remember, "patience is a virtue". As long as ETH is still cheap to acquire (below $500), you could "buy and hodl" as much coins as you can before the excitement begins. If this turns out the become the biggest year for ETH, you'll be able to cash out much more money than you've initially invested. Just my opinion

i believe he means to say previous year ( e.g 2019 and 2018 ) because the year 2017 is where eth reached its all time high  .

his right that this year 2020 is better because eth is now finally recovering  . eth has its rumoremed eth 2.0    , that can be consider as one of eth achievements  . comparing means that something has change  . nothing is wrong with comparing and we can always compare the performance of the coin from their current condition compare from the past   .

why can you say that this year is the most successful? what has been achieved by ethereum? if you look at my 2017 we all agree if it is the best year of ethereum and almost all crypto assets. but we cannot compare the present situation with the conditions in the past. the market is different, and the achievement of ethereum, of course, every year has its trends and achievements.

If you compare ETH to the past years, now ETH really looks very good and maybe lately it is the most successful year for ETH.

You are right, the repetition of market growth cannot be repeated. even the growth trends of the crypto market a few years ago also cannot be used to make predictions in the future. in the future, there are only new conditions, and we must adjust the situation.

The market will grow because we are expecting adoption here, of course 8 billion to 800 billion is easier to see than 200 billion to  at least a 2 trillion but for sure we will reach at that level as the adoption continues. We have big targets but we need to remain realistic based on the time frame of the target, so if we say 1 year from now I don't expect that we will reach marketcap of 2 billion but I believe if bitcoin will reach its ATH, 1 trillion marketcap is possible since I am also expecting that altcoins will pump.

You are right, there is no better smart contract platform than Ethereum Network. Many new smart contract-based blockchain has come, but no one is close to Ethereum. People started talking Binance chain will surpass the Ethereum, look now, everyone is leaving Binance chain. Day by day Ethereum's popularity may be increasing because of the best smart contract technology. Though I don't believe this year will be biggest for Ethereum, but every good coin like Ethereum will do better at least!

The main difference is macro indicators. The main one is capitalization. I think you will agree that an increase from 8 billion to 800 looks more real than an increase from 200 billion to at least 2 trillion. If we are talking about growth rates, then I am sure that they will not repeated.

Of course, for now we can't really compare 2017 and 2020. There's still a lot to be done in 2020 to be even compare to the last great bull run we have. With that said, we will see how it goes, maybe investors become smarter now and just picking their spot on what ICO they are going to pour their hard earn money.

So 4 digit price is within our reach, beginning this year, ETH is having a good recovery. And it is goes strong against BTC and USD, then we can see it getting higher and could get to 4 digit once again.

I also don't really hope that the price of ethereum can reach its new ATH, it's just that I'm pretty sure that the change from POW to POS will make ethereum prices go up, even close to the price of $ 1000. as far as I know, ATH ethereum is $ 1,400, and to date, ethereum prices have even tried to go up to $ 300. I am not so sure that in less than 1 year, the price of ethereum can reach more than $ 1,400 even with the help of halving, and ETH 2.0.
however, in 2017 ICO support for ETH is no less good than this year.

The upgrade was done and the price of Ethereum is keep on increasing while following the footsteps of bitcoin, so far Ethereum is doing good as the demand is also there so the chances that Ethereum will dominate this year is very big.

We can even see the highest ATH record of Ethereum this year if the market will not fall after the halving of bitcoin as the market is very dependent to bitcoin because of it's dominance over other currencies. If Ethereum can achieve 2000$ this year then it will be the biggest ATH record.

We'll see. If Ethereum adopts PoS during the year, we could expect prices to rise like never before. This, coupled with increased adoption of STOs and IEOs could make 2020 the biggest year of ETH yet. Considering that ETH is the best smart contract platform in existence, it's bound to increase in demand over time. The only downside is ETH's undefined total supply, which makes it an unsuitable long-term investment for anyone. But I believe that's more of a feature than a bug, since the native cryptocurrency "Ether" is meant to be used as fuel for the development and execution of smart contracts (dApps) across the Blockchain.

Comparing ETH's All-time-high of over $1,000 per coin back in 2017, it has a long way to go before it'll be able to experience a massive surge in price anytime soon. Its substantial rise in price was largely attributed to the "ICO hype". Now that that's over, Ethereum's prices have stalled across the market. Only the PoS upgrade and the adoption of STOs (alongside an upsurge in Bitcoin's price) will have a positive effect over ETH's price in the long term.

Nonetheless, even if 2020 doesn't turn out to be the biggest year of Ethereum yet, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap will still be loved by crypto enthusiasts, everyday people, and mainstream businesses/companies alike. Ethereum is like the "Bitcoin" of the smart contract space providing truly censorship-resistant dApps unlike its competitors. Tron, EOS, Cardano, and other platforms may be faster and cheaper to use than Ethereum. But they're missing decentralization, which is one of the core principles of a Blockchain. And Ethereum has a fair advantage against other platforms because it keeps decentralization in mind. Just my opinion

Ethereum is starting to improve the price and it is certain that this uptrend can last for a long time because the demand for investing in this coin is starting to increase more.

I think everyone is waiting for the news of Ethereum 2.0 to appear and it will be big news for everyone here. However, in this market, it is impossible to be sure of anything and everything can happen unexpectedly.

ATH > 1500$ ? 
It's impossible. ETH has too much capitalization, plus mining constantly produces new coins. In the distant future, subject to a complete transition to POS and some other factors, achieving this level is realistic, but not this or next year. I would love to be wrong (I'm ETH holder).

Biggest year yet is a real stretch, I can't see 2020 eclipsing 2017. Having said that, PoS is the future, and we should see 2.0 this year. I can see ETH rising considerably against both BTC and USD... just probably not the same percentage increases we saw at the height of ICO fever.

Smart contracts will only get bigger, and ETH is by far the best smart contract platform. Don't bet against it.

Ethereum 2.0 News has indeed become the biggest thing for Ethereum this year. The price of $ 300 will be very easily achieved by ETH, I'm also sure in a few days later the price of Ethereum can reach $ 300 or even more than that. People are also waiting for the moment Bitcoin Halving later which can have a positive effect on all Crypto prices, including Ethereum.

Yes....ETH will end this year btw 2k-2500$ at least

A lot of news is coming when Ethereum 2.0 is released and I believe that time will be very good when you choose long-term investment. Currently the value of ETH is greatly improving and could reach $300 in the next few days so hopefully a better future will welcome the return of Ethereum. Personally, I always spend a lot of time researching this coin and always consider investing when the market enters a bull phase.

Technical analysis have basis if you analyze the situation of what's going on the market. But I yet believe that this will be the best year for ETH compare on previous years where a major upset cames and for sure if this current pump will continue maybe we can reach the ATH or if more greater times came provably we can see a  new historical figures came this year or maybe next year onwards.

I have to believe that ETHn will show some exciting moments this year. We could notice that it has a strong uptrend motion and that seems to be of continuous market movement. Many speculations arise that ETH will soon to Bullish and the possibility is still there.

Having this resistance, it is big enough to say that ETH will be having a big day in the coming days. And I would like to suggest that it is better to accumulate more ETH at this time while the market price is still low. It is one way to anticipate the market before we will run for the next level and I believe that you'll never regret of what you've got.
