Title: Ethereum price discussion
Post by: Ander on August 07, 2015, 05:49:37 pm
Looking forward to seeing what happens as soon as people can get their ETH on exchanges and dump.  Pricing it at 10x the IPO price in this era of depressed crypto prices is insanity. 

I'll buy later if it falls below IPO and stabilizes.

Will definitely crash, but still gutted I didn't buy the IPO and put all my eggs in BTSX at the time.

I would think BTS would be re-valued upwards too a bit once people start comparing.

Ethereum is giving a 10x return over a period that BTS/X had a 90% loss. Ether holders 100x better off currently over that period.

But yes it will crash, so whether you can get $2.80 is another thing altogether.  Also I personally think BTSX would have been circa $300-400 million today.

Yep.

Almost nobody is going to get 10x the ipo price though, only those lucky enough to get ETH to exchange first.

From 160 to 80 million in 12 hours T_T

Really have to be a ninja to get those initial spikes.

Kraken enabled deposits for KYCed customers first or figured out how to post collateral, who were a tiny subset of users. The inital $3 price was clearly artificial just like BTS price on launch (in that case it was just one exchange honoring the sharedrop).

Right now most presale buyers are able to cash out with minimal effort. Curious how far the presale selloff will take it.

Under 50M now, still falling. 
It should decline to the IPO price I think, way more down to go!

The initial buyers were idiots, buying at 20x the IPO.

Also looks like people dumped ETH for BTC then dumped the BTC right away to get out of crypto.  Plenty of people have been stuck in ETH for a year wanting their money.

I have to say though. The ETH stack actually delivers on the promise to create your own DACs. While BitShares has been mostly talk, Stan memes and what not.

I love the ETH stack. It's not perfect and can be improved, there are scalability issues down the road, but reading the blog posts I have faith they are on the right track to solve all these issues.

Cheers!

ETH market cap is a joke with < $1M USD trading volume. we'll see how this unfolds over the next couple weeks. unless volume picks up and actual capital flows into the system, i see the price continuing to collapse.

I think they raised $18 million for 60 million Ether, so something like $0.3 per Ether was IPO price.

Thing is, you don't have to do everything in your DApp on their blockchain. You could run your own nodes that do checkpoints with the main blockchain. So, I don't think scalability is that much of an issue even with the current implementation.

I haven't paid much attention and wasn't aware it was priced that off target.. not surprised.

Ethereum 24hr change down 70% atm http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets and I wouldn't be surprised to see it fall a long way more, to below BitShares1.0 where it belongs.

There's no surprise seeing a dump at the open as that is normal, satisfying the substantial minority of speculators who become frustrated. Compounded with that what Ethereum is offering is underdeveloped, I'm not surprised that it's burning and glad that this is the one project I did not invest in.

Ethereum is ambitious to say the least and already there are alarming bugs that those claiming their ETH on Windohs could lose that into null addresses. I wonder then if there are others who are upgrading past that bug and getting out. There's a long way to go before I will buy in.. it's a fragile as Bitcoin in 2010 when I first saw that.. give Ethereum a year to bed down and prove itself.. and then I expect CounterParty will have made it available on BTC blockchain. Why Ethereum went the route of creating a new chain, I don't know.. it just added the wiff of altcoin.

Hopefully BitShares will take note and understand that smart investment follows real demonstrable utility.. BitShares2.0 will need to deliver more than hype and speculative opportunity.. and communicate that in an academic way, not just in marketing speak.

I didn't invest either but I'm certainly not glad about it. 

A $100 000 BTSX investment in August last year would be worth $10 000 today, while the same in Ether would be $220 000 at today's price. (0.69 per Ether) So you would have been 22x wealthier if you'd invested in Vitalik and friends.

I would have just sold my Ether as soon as I could though and probably have invested the proceeds into BTS 2.0 closer to the release date. (Once I'm convinced the new BitAsset system works & is more liquid -I'm already sold on the merits of the referral system.)

But it's a HUGE difference in the returns shareholders have currently got over the last year.

Post by: davidpbrown on August 09, 2015, 08:34:21 pm
Yes.. I hadn't seen that the IPO was 0.30. We'll see where it goes from here but as with BitShares, if it doesn't deliver utility to those who are not just speculating, then there might be another slippage. Part of utility will be stability in the chain and a lack of bugs and other limiting issues. Without having seen a BTC like success just yet, it's too soon to suggest they released to ETH too early.. they could still be the one that wins big.

I didn't invest in the IPO either even though I was quite certain it would be a good investment.

My reasons were purely ethical: the huge premine/bonus the developers gave themselves and the way it was hidden in the small type of the IPO conditions made me stay away completely. Vitalik and the rest must be laughing all the way to the bank..

My first suspicion too. They know its going to crash so why not be the first one to sell?

Also ciyam is available and being integrated into a Bitcoin based chain which will certainly eat away at their market cap.. If I do it right.. Perhaps bitshares can then integrate and we can then have cross chain transfers between btc based coins with a real tie in to the uia of those coins. Then ultimately if the model is solid maybe one day Bitcoin can endorse the use of turing complete scripts on their chain and we would leverage that.

I just want to say ... i've investet 2 BTC --> 4000 ETH during the IPO sale last year!

And did sell them for approx. 19 BTC! So from the investment point of view ... ETH was a really good investment!
But i've also learned from BTS ... If i had sell my BTS last year when high .. it would be the same ...

With this revenue i can fund my next 3 month working for BTS/CNX ... so IMO good deal :)

I'm waiting a few weeks before even considering trading it. I'd say it is below $30MM marketcap within 2 weeks. Time will show.

may I ask you how you managed that?
How do you transferred so quick to the exchange, assuming kraken needed 6000 confirmations before trading was possible...
+ that the their developers made an alert (that sucks) that all accounts created before the last geth update (1.01) should be considered as potentially COMPROMISED !!! 


PS  6000 confirmations is about 1.5 Days... and the prices you are mentioning was available only on 8 August (the half day and some hours from 7 August, totalling about one day)

the fact it took so much time and they told people their accounts could be compromised while at the same time only a few ones made huge profit doesn't look good at all, even if they didn't do it with malicious intent.

what i don't understand is, how could people value ether so high? isn't the supply huge? i don't know how many new coins will we have per year but wasn't it a percentage of the inital ICO?

The reason it got valued so high was all the pumping from media outlets like coindesk and cointelegraph.

I remember reading one article that ethereum was the tesla of the crypto world.  Take one look at teslas stock and you will see why it was pumped so much.

Your calculations are quite wrong or at least unfair.
BTS did suffer a 90% loss but that's only true if you bought at the very top of the 2014 hype.
ETH was without doubt a better investment than BTS but not by factor of 100 or 22. I'd say by factor of 4.

ETH currently around triple the IPO price, BTS 1/3 the IPO price.  So about a factor of 10 at least.  More if you sold in the first 24 hours after ETH release.  Of course, ETH is going to keep dropping and it will look a lot more even in the future.  This initial ETH hype bubble was so out of control.

Guys it wasn't a hype bubble. There was no panic buying. All that happened was for about a day only a small % of sellers could sell, just like how BTS lost 50%+ (30%? I forgot actually) in the first days after launch before rallying because sellers couldn't sell.

The "bubble" lasted exactly as long as the kraken deposit confirmation period for non-KYC'd customers.

Yes, an IPO comparison would  make ETH a better investment by a factor of 4.

My sums are still a bit on the high side, but I was comparing whether it would have been better stay in invested in BTS during the Ethereum fundraising period, as most of us were, or switch some to Ethereum. Those that did would be 20-100x wealthier than us. Look how well cass did with his 2BTC...

I just want to say ... i've investet 2 BTC --> 4000 ETH during the IPO sale last year!

And did sell them for approx. 19 BTC! So from the investment point of view ... ETH was a really good investment!

Cass's 2 BTC in Ether was sold for 19 BTC. Had he kept it in BTS, that 2 BTC would be worth circa 0.2-0.3 BTC today.

So he was nearly 100x better off over that period.

Guys it wasn't a hype bubble. There was no panic buying. All that happened was for about a day only a small % of sellers could sell, just like how BTS lost 50%+ (30%? I forgot actually) in the first days after launch before rallying because sellers couldn't sell.

The "bubble" lasted exactly as long as the kraken deposit confirmation period for non-KYC'd customers.

It was caused by Ethercoin. For the last year it was the main vehicle for people to invest who missed the IPO and only had 1/60th of the actual supply, so it was clearly over-valued but for a brief period the market referenced that as the starting point. 

However it was clear it would crash once more supply came online and will probably fall further.

No I think you would have made a 25% return with BTSX vs. the 950% return you got with ETH.

BTSX had a market CAP of $25 million on Launch.

I think PTS had a value of $20 million leading up to the BTSX snapshot and $10 million a day after. PTS received 50% of BTSX. So they were paying a $20 million valuation during the IPO.

July 21st. BTSX was $26 million at launch? If you sold your BTSX as soon as possible as you did with ETH.

If you're saying you could have predicted the Aug 26-28th high and sold then, you would have got 300-400% return, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.

It was caused by Ethercoin. For the last year it was the main vehicle for people to invest who missed the IPO and only had 1/60th of the actual supply, so it was clearly over-valued but for a brief period the market referenced that as the starting point. 

However it was clear it would crash once more supply came online and will probably fall further.

Yes this.  Ethercoin was able to freely pump without much supply being able to be sold. 
When ETH launched some people were initially pricing based on ethercoin price which was over 10x the ipo price.  People wanting to buy at that price mostly bought ethercoin.

Then once the actual supply came in it dwarfed demand so price has been falling to more reasonable levels.  I think it needs to fall to IPO price before it will find real support, but I could be wrong.  I dont plan to buy any if its market cap is higher than bitshares.  If Bitshares equals its market cap at some point I'll swap a bit, probably 5-10%.    If it ever falls a lot below Bitshares cap I'll get some more.

In summary 16% inflation.

I thought it was even higher than that.

But yeah its really high and will be dragging down the price until they switch to PoS.

There's no evidence miners are hoarding coins to my knowledge but rather selling them to meet expenses.

Bitcoin declined consistently for a year and a half after the bull market. This indicates new coins are being sold not held.

The inflation a coin can support depends on the average level of net new demand in weak to neutral market conditions imo.

For Bitcoin this seems to be about the $230 level.

For BTS there is a lot of new shares being released to those who didn't support things like the merger. So you have consistent selling pressure but very little new demand, so it can go very low unless BTS 2.0 comes out and new users and investors are attracted.

I agree, miners are worse holders than IPO buyers.  Miners have ongoing electricity expenses to keep their operation going.  They have to be selling something to raise funds to keep mining, so they probably at least need to sell some of their coins.

IPO buyers spent investment dollars on the IPO.  They have no ongoing costs to continue hodling.

at launch we had about 70 MIO $ marketcap ... or i'm wrong ?

It was about one month after launch...
So I predict something identical will happen to ethereum as well...
One major pump must happen (maybe after they make the transition to POS with Casper) and then they will dump it...
Mark my words... The 4x factor against bitshares is very strong.... even on Google they are at least 4x more popular than us...
So on the major pump I predict they will manage to get minimum 4x$80M(our highs)=$320M marketcap and the second place on coinmarketcap for a couple of days....
As toast said, we still don't have seen a real pump. It was only due the non-KYC member's that couldn't sell the first 1-2 days due the 6000 needed confirmations before they can trade their ether's... so the demand was technically much higher than the supply the first days.


PS So yes I believe the dump will come .... BUT after the REAL PUMP... and that has not happened yet!

ETH will have to release an exciting and hyped feature to get a big pump.

For BTSX it wasn't really a pump. BTSX climbed beautifully and consistently vs. BTC for nearly 6 weeks in a row. Aug 30th to Oct 4th.

My personal opinion is that we would have continued climbing above LTC and beyond (Which there was already a prediction market for) It was only the reality of dilution that stopped BTSX in it's tracks imo. Though this is obv widely disputed.

We know that a lot of bitcoiners and altcoiners think btsx is a "crapcoin" and a ponzi scheme. So why do we really care what they say about us diluting btsx?

Kind of reminds me of the famous five monkeys experiment. 
Nobody in those communities is willing to go for the bananas any more
but no one remembers why.

They definitely are.  I think they will get a pump at some point, but not until after the fall to IPO price.  The reality of the crypto bear market needs to hit ethereum as well.  It doesnt get to just not release for most of the bear market, and then appear later on at a way higher market cap.  It needs to go through the dump phase just like every other project.

Miners are not Mining operations .
I know some of them quite well .
In fact , some of them have formed an alliance to sustain the price . And they often avoid selling it on the market .(from what i have known , some people from Europe often buy Bitcoin from a major mining operation in China outside the online market . )

Also , big time mining operations do not need to constantly sell coins to pay basic expense . They were rich in the first place . Also , they have absurdly cheap electricity . While some of you might think "poor miners , they need to sell coins to pay enormous cost " , well , that's just the small time miners who don't have scale advantage . Industrial mining operations on the other hand , are far more lucrative than normal manufacturing industry .

As for the drop after the bull market , that's bound to happen one way or another even without further inflation . Every stock does that after a full 5 wave cycle .
What matters is , if there will be another new circle .

Also , there is NO real "demand" on a highly speculative market . Everybody follows trend . Once the trend comes , the market would convince you that "you need this thing !!!! or you'll be the sucker !!!"  then ...there comes the demand . Because in any speculative market , your expectation is based on what you think other people's expectations are .

Also , when the up trend vanished , everybody who felt so strong to "demand" it would be gone .

iirc BTS price surged when I3 announced they were buying BTS with the donation funds because they expected holding BTS was a better investment than holding PTS or Bitcoin at that moment. That post in the forum set off a buying spree which resulted in the all time high. For the record, I3 said they only let people sell into them and didn't push the price themselves, but that support and confidence was a major catalyst for the BTS all time high.

If miners avoid selling on the market then at the same time those "people from Europe" avoid buying on the market. I'd think the net effect is close to zero.

Also , big time mining operations do not need to constantly sell coins to pay basic expense . They were rich in the first place .
And what is the source of their wealth? Surely, they must have sold some of their BTC before they became rich.

It was around the same time but in my version of events, I believe the two were largely unrelated.
The BTSX $ high was caused by the release of BitUSD.

In July they released a BTSX MVP without BitAssets. So the market valued it quite low.  The original spike was anticipation of the release of BitAssets and the BTSX all time $ high came within 24 hours of the first BitUSD being in circulation.

BitUSD is in circulation!!!

However the original BitAssets were flawed in terms of maintaining a tight peg because bulls were willing to short too far below it, which I'd predicted.

I think lots of people will be willing to short BitUSD, not a lot willing to go long at the start.

Might make BitUSD price trade too far below peg. But this will hurt BTSX price causing the situation to correct itself...

Seems like it may need interest rates if you really want to keep it at 1-1. Because a short may be willing to short BitUSD and pay X% interest to entice a long to trade.

BTSX crashed 50% in 3 days, when the peg didn't appear to be holding.

However this was addressed by not allowing shorting below the peg and shorts competing on interest rates instead. This proposed change regained the confidence of the market and BTSX resumed it's climb in spite of a significant BTC downturn & reached a new all time high vs. BTC on Oct 4th. 

It was only the reality of dilution that I've already referenced in another post above that stopped BTSX from world domination as it's Chinese popularity in particular was spreading like a virus at the time.

That's not to say the current BTS construct can't be successful.

There was no cause for the all time high .
The high was bound to happened simply for BTS flat lined at June to July for two months .
New coin , flat lined in the candle chart for a long time , all indication of a pump , just looked for the right excuse .
If it weren't for the release of BitUSD , there could be other excuse .

You seem to live in a reality where markets are only moved by whales and trend chasers.
Prices reflect and respond to information too.

If BM & friends were raided and arrested tomorrow the BTS price would fall a lot.
If they announced BTS 2.0 was ready and bug free tomorrow the price would rise a lot.

Sometimes markets can seem irrational but they are always reacting to events and new information.

Average network hashrate was consistently more than 100GH/s ... now it is 7.9GH/s!
Average block time was about 18s... now 4 minutes!!!
Active nodes was about 80/95 now 49/52!
2 blocks made more than 3800s to generate! More tha one hour! WTF?
And last... the price jumped the last hours more than 50% with a volume of $1.5M

Any comments from the expert's here?   ;)

I feel like not enough pre-sale ETH has been sold yet. So it should go lower.

I also think they have 25% inflation + in the first year which would mean they need $4 million + in new money a month to sustain a $200 million CAP  and without some kick-ass popular app, I just don't think there's enough new money coming into this space to support that for a long length of time.

At the same time if they're viewed as an immutable crypto-currency, they could be seen as a potential Bitcoin beater which could contribute a lot to a strong valuation.

I'm not buying at the moment, but then again I also missed the IPO which was a mistake.

Looking at the http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitshares/ chart, the announcement https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,7245.0/all.html on August 20 that I3 was using AGS bitcoins to buy BTS was a major factor that took the market cap from around 20 million and nearly tripled it in the next couple days.

It's possible but personally my view as an investor is that while I interpreted the news that they were betting on the success of their own product vs. BTC with AGS funds as positive, it was an insignificant amount relative to the average volume BTSX was doing at that stage. While BItUSD and BitAssets were the core product we had all invested and saw enormous potential in. So, had they...

1. Said we're buying some BTSX with AGS funds but BitUSD will take another two months - I believe the price would have fallen.
2. Released BitUSD and not/mentioned buying some BTSX with AGS - I believe the price would have reacted pretty much the same.

Just my opinion though, we obviously disagree on that one.

On the subject of Ethereum, I have to admit being able to attract developers to add value for free is a pretty big competitive edge.


It is harder to develop a BTS fork than to write a dapp for ethereum. Ethereum very clearly places developers first and cares only about providing a good toolchain for building dapps.

One the most precious and expensive resources for blockchains is talented developers like yourself. So I have to admit the fact that Ethereum is able to attract talented developers to add value to their blockchain without needing to pay them directly is pretty huge.

Practically it's much lower since the block production time  is greater than expected... so the blocks produced in one year will be significant less than expected... (so less ether's practically in circulation the first year)
Not to mention how much ethers will never get claimed because after one year I am sure many will not remember their passwords, (if they remember they participated on the IPO)   :P

Good points, I know I personally read that and added to my ags donation bts some exchange bought bts at that moment and continued to buy over the next several days at every level going up...I think its been a great trait how open our devs are with the community.

I missed the boat on ether as well. The logical thinking is ether will come down in price, but it seems the market does the opposite of what people expect so often that it might just go to the moon.

Me neither.

Breaking $100 million has always  big psychological barrier for LTC up or down. So my guess is ETH will spike up to 120 million at least on this move. But I'm 0 for 2 atm.  (Missed the IPO and the recent $40 million bottom.)

If it can get ahead of LTC like we were hoping BTSX could do back in the day, who knows. Interesting.

I'm guessing a lot of it is. Reminds me of the whole Paycoin thing going on late last year -- huge swings of volatility, insane market cap, and eventually after all the excitement died down it came crashing down, followed by a long, arduous bleed out.

Also kind of like BTSX, I guess. The difference being XPY was a pretty obvious scam and has no hope to recover, whereas I expect BTS to make a nice recovery once 2.0 gets closer. I imagine ETH will go through the same motions -- crazy volatility and excitement followed by a long bleed out once that "new car smell" is gone. Followed by another huge pump. And the world keeps on spinning.

Falling from IPO and then a big rally? It's typical, and in hindsight not buying at 40 million was a predictable mistake. Three psychological factors made me miss this: 1) I don't have much money atmso I told myself I should take what I got and that I "couldn't" afford the added risk of rebuying, and 2) Deep down I did not want Ethereum to moon above BitShares, finally 3) I told myself the graph was deceptive due to early pricing by VIP Kraken members, instead of being quite accurate in spite of early access by Kraken VIP members.

I thought it would fall a bit further first, and not bounce quite as much, but there is actually a lot of demand and not as much dumping by holders as I expected.  We'll see what happens after this frenzy is over of course.


In the end it could be good for altcoins.  There is tons of BTC flooding into poloniex, and if ETH stabilizes and drops some, there will be a decent amount of btc floating around there that can go into the other alts.  I wonder if polo might eventually overtake btc38 for volume?  They are already not too far off on some days.

Of course it is.

Is Ethereum better than bitcoin?'

Of course it is.

Then who cares if they surpass bitcoin before we do.  I hope they pass bitcoin tomorrow.  I've been dying for the world to start talking about what is beyond bitcoin, and get nauseous whenever I hear  the words "blocksize" or "coreXT" .  We all knew that the Bitcoin topics of conversation would be changing to what it is that BTS does, so who cares if Ethereum gets the first mover advantage in the 2.0 space.  The second and third movers will be right there in every news story!

Right now Ethereum is only worth $100,000,000 fiat dollars (pocket change to some)

how much value is that?

We are talking about a global Bitcoin2.0 protocol standards here, where network adoption is paramount

what is that worth (to humanity)?

It's not about how many Ethers or BrowniePoints you have, it's about evolving the global "Blockchain conversation" and Ethereum just taught the world a thing or two about Bitcoin 2.0

I think the ETH bounce topped around .008 and is now beginning the dump/bleed down.  Currently .007, we will see.

right on, completely agree! it's perfectly feasible for BTS to have the same monetary success with a successful 2.0 launch, but nonetheless, i'm happy to cheer on any crypto innovation.

I have no idea where this is going, lol. 

Me neither.

Breaking $100 million has always  big psychological barrier for LTC up or down. So my guess is ETH will spike up to 120 million at least on this move. But I'm 0 for 2 atm.  (Missed the IPO and the recent $40 million bottom.)

If it can get ahead of LTC like we were hoping BTSX could do back in the day, who knows. Interesting.

Well it did spike up to 130 after breaking 100, so I'll call it 1 for 3 on that.

Still I not sure where it's going. My guess is it will go down to as low as $60 million this weekend.


so who cares if Ethereum gets the first mover advantage in the 2.0 space.  The second and third movers will be right there in every news story!


Well first mover advantage worked out pretty well for Bitcoin  :) & I don't remember the 2nd & 3rd movers being in every (any?) Bitcoin news story.

I still think BTS 2.0 can do it.

I think ETH pump is over and its heading down again.  Now to see where it finds support. 

The buying was stronger than I expected, I no longer think its going all the way back to IPO price.  It can probably stabilize at 40-50 million cap or so.

Bought some ETH at .00461

And bought more at .0044-.0045.  I think it needs to bounce at this point.  But this isnt a long term buy or anything, just playing for a bounce.

I think it could be due a bounce.

However I am still seeing circa 50k ETH being added to sell orders each day on Poloniex without buy orders increasing so I think that incoming supply eventually has to push down the price unless there's a new reason for fresh demand this week.

I shorted at 0.00515 again.

Sounds good.

I am still long from about .0045 average price and think we are going to continue higher today.  (But it it breaks down through the short term moving averages I would probably get out while I still was up on the trade)

I'll close that short I opened at a little over 0.0045 if it gets down there and then maybe wait for it to go up to 48/50 again before re-shorting.

Good job, I am wishing I had sold at .005 and rebought that drop.
It scares me too much to be short or on margin right now.  Sitting in my current long from ~.0045, I plan to either sell on a good bounce or sell at breakeven if it drops.

Suddenly 700 BTC more in buy orders big difference but not a lot of support down to 0.00047 so might try a little risky short again soon.

Its great to see those sell walls now lower than my entry price, helps guarantee a profit.  I'm not covering yet though, if this breaks under .006 it could go down significantly.

(On the other hand there is now over 3000 btc on the buy side of the orderbooks, which is a ton.  SO maybe its just going to correct a bit and then keep going up.  We'll have to see)

I might be done with the ETH trading for a while, I cant decide if it will go up or down.  I bought some bts with the btc and put the rest on lending.  Also, I've got almost 200k BTS loaned out, which means there is a significant short position in BTS right now.  A BTS rise could screw some shorts.

I've been able to earn some nice profit with 20X leverage on Bitcoin futures these days.

2.5 X is not that attractive compare to that .  :P 

How long can you hold a position in Polonix ?
You can hold a position at polo as long as you are willing to pay interest and as long as you dont get margin called.

Sure, if you go 20x and are correct youll make more money.  But the room for error is so small.   I prefer to have a very large room for error so I dont even use 2.5x. 


Re: my earlier short, the wall was indeed unreliable and went away.  Shouldnt have shorted so low in the range.  It seems we are stuck in a range around .006, so you can expect prices to probably return to .006 at some point, meaning its good to buy under it/short above it.  (Until something breaks and it isnt). 
Trying to get out at breakeven now on a spike down.

Shorted a little ETH, its started drifting lower without bounces, all the moving averages are turning down, and the volume is way down.  I dont think there is going to be enough buying coming in to sustain these 10x ipo prices, not when everyone is taking a hit on every asset they own.

Thats fine. :)
I wasnt long or short during either of the major moves up or down, so I gotta pick up the pennies.  I wasnt sure what direction it would move for some of those moves, and didnt trade it at all during the initial period where it was most volatile.

Well, I want to be able to do that, but...

1) I wouldnt be able to trade it, because my bitshares client crashes after I put in a couple of orders, and then requires me to resync the entire blockchain, taking most of a day.
2) There wouldnt be 5000 bitcoins worth of volume a day.  There would be like .1 BTC, because only a few people would be trading it.

The guy said his account was frozen and it caused his position to liquidate. So it seems that it was an involuntary dump. So I bought a lot at 400k, pretty confident that it would go back up fast... which didn't happen yet. I don't understand markets, but it was quite interesting to follow... I just really hope that ethereum will be back to 460k/470k soon so that I can close that position, I think ethereum is overevaluated, but not in the short time.

I don't think his account was frozen, I think he hit a margin call level so it liquidated for him.  Yeah, that guy got rekt. 

I dont know where ETH is going now.  Could continue dumping, or it could bounce back into upper 4s.  If it bounces though, there will be a lot of sell pressure in upper 4s, so it will need to come back down and make a double bottom probably.

Hmm, it might have run out of steam again near 430.  Its super risky to be in right now, on either side.  But being margin long is riskier I think.  Too much damage was done.

Imo it seems ethereum will take the same path as BitShares. A big hype at the beggining and then the price will slowly decrease till people have usable software. Then it will rise up again.

It would be nice to see the money migrate from Ethereum to BitShares, teh charts are the opposite right now. Would love to see Eth at 20cents and jump in with BTS profits

I agree.  Ethereum presale investors good a good chance to sell high on ETH and buy BTS at the low. 
Hopefully we will have the same opportunity to sell BTS and buy cheap ETH later.

Its falling for the same reason BTS fell from 9000 sats last fall to 1400.
Because it has a high valuation due to release hype, but it is still an alpha product. 

ETH is going to do pretty much what BTS did just a year behind, most likely.  I dont think it will fall to 8 million though, probably 20M.  ETH was always 2-3x bigger than BTS in its hype/community size.

1) I wouldnt be able to trade it, because my bitshares client crashes after I put in a couple of orders, and then requires me to resync the entire blockchain, taking most of a day.

Before you put orders make a backup of the "chain" folder (.BitShares/chain) and when it resync close the wallet > delete the original "chain" folder and replace it with the backup...
You will see/confirm your orders with a delay of about 5 minutes and the chance to make new orders... you will save many days  :)

I think they dumbed now to trigger margin calls to the bulls and push out weak hands, knowing the price will fall significantly lower and buy back with the plan to pump ethereum price just before the augur crowdsale ends (1 October) That way the augur ether investors will have a bigger pie of REPS (augur tokens) since they said that they will count how much $ valuation their donation have at the end of the crowdsale (BTC vs ETH)

very reasonable position, i agree; however, you never really know what's going to happen. long term i'm very bullish on both BTS and ETH, and my preference is to get in earlier and lose a bit, keep buying on the way down in increasing quantity, and then enjoy the ride back up. that's at least how i've played BTS and am now enjoying the bounce back up, which i think is just the start. ETH likely has an excellent future ahead of it, as well, so when you put things into long term perspective, a market cap < $60M still looks very cheap to me.

It's not your fault AT ALL. Should 'toshi have felt judged when bitcoin fell from *insert any bitcoin high* to *insert any bitcoin low*

You're doing a fantastic job with this project. The merger was almost a year ago and the inflation it caused wasn't enough to justify this big of a drop.

I for one have been extremely thankful the price has been this low this long. If price only reflected the quality of the project then Bitcoin would have been surpassed by now, and Dogecoin would have have a market cap of 500,000.
Title: Re: Ethereum price discussion

When the price gets back to 2-3 cents I'm going to be super grateful that it went down this low.  I have around 10-20x as many BTS as I wouldve had if it just went higher right away.

For now its still a bit painful though.  The blame for the dorp is spread around many factors, but there is no way it couldve been avoided unless the initial release product had been amazing and caught on to a huge extent right away, which is incredibly unrealistic.

I think without real world use cases and real demand on the token, its hard to justify a rise in prices given the fact that development timelines are years in the future. The leaked chat confirmed this.

I would make the argument that the ability to short will actually make the dips shallower.  The fact that shorters have to cover should dampen big dips.  It still baffles me that governments that think banning short selling will prevent the market from declining, when in fact it does the opposite.

Thats true, i think they ban short selling in times of emergency like when the bond vigilantes did their thing with Greece. In the end you cant "ban" a normal market function, it will ruin any confidence in it.

It may cause short squeezes, although it also can cause big crashes if big whales get in.

I think you are slightly mistaken.... banning short selling prevents the market from declining TODAY by removing support TOMORROW.    Think of it as burning your stabilizer fuel trying to generate thrust.... it will quickly run out of fuel and then things become more volatile in the future but will ultimately fail to stop the pull of gravity.    At the end of the day it is nothing more than those in power picking the winners and losers.

I think without real world use cases and real demand on the token, its hard to justify a rise in prices given the fact that development timelines are years in the future. The leaked chat confirmed this.

I would make the argument that the ability to short will actually make the dips shallower.  The fact that shorters have to cover should dampen big dips.  It still baffles me that governments that think banning short selling will prevent the market from declining, when in fact it does the opposite.

I think you are slightly mistaken.... banning short selling prevents the market from declining TODAY by removing support TOMORROW.    Think of it as burning your stabilizer fuel trying to generate thrust.... it will quickly run out of fuel and then things become more volatile in the future but will ultimately fail to stop the pull of gravity.    At the end of the day it is nothing more than those in power picking the winners and losers.

very good point re: banning short selling. completely agree.

At polo interest rates are set by the market rather than a central bank.  I have a hard time defending market functions when one half of every trade has nothing whatsoever with any market.

It was really hard for me not to feel "judged" by the fall in BTS price, but seeing the same trends repeating over and over have helped me to realize that it isn't all my fault.
I have come to think that it's nearly impossible not to feel this way. It's human nature to try to assign blame during tough times. It helps to understand that, although the feelings are normal, it doesn't mean they reflect reality.

I am seeing ETH people make exactly the same comments about how the dilution to pay developers is good for ETH and that people should buy because of it, that many of us made about BTS last october. 

We learned our lesson, but they havent yet.

I'm going to love buying ETH 9 months from now.

I think it is the change that hurt.   Without the potential for worker pay CNX would have to work on other projects.    Worker pay is key to sustainability.  What hurts the price is when the illusion is broken and people realize that the cost to build and grow a blockchain is something that cannot be done in a SINGLE round of funding.   

Look at a payment company such as Dwolla, they raised 5 rounds over 5 years.   
BTS went through a similar process with angel, then gifts, and then worker pay. 
ETH will do something similar.

The fact that we are now so farm along in the process and will soon have a chane to start generating profits form the blockchain to help cover things is very reassuring.

thanks for answering, 

what I need to know is how to get my ether to Poloniex or Metaexchange

if you don't want to install geth (frontier) and use commands to transfer your ethers
the easiest way is to transfer your ethers to kraken exhange  using this
web-tool  https://www.kraken.com/ether and then selling there your ethers for BTC and moving them to any other exchange you want.... (yep poloniex is brilliant) and buy your bts there and  then transfer them to your bts wallet so you don't miss the snapshot and the sharedrop 1:1 to bts2.0 (graphene) tokens  ;)


PS else you must install frontier and insert on the frontier console a command like this:


geth console  (wait the wallet to sync before going to the next step_)
web3.eth.sendTransaction({from: 'yourpresaleaccountaddress', to: 'poloniexdepositetheraddress', value: web3.toWei(1000, 'ether')});


if you want to sent 1000 ethers for example and then you will be asked for your password....

I have tried sending 1 ether to my Poloniex ether account using geth. The transaction went through fine, I can see the balance on the Poloniex account using geth command that it does have 1 ether. However when I go to my Poloniex account it does not show, I have doubled check the account number and it's the same. Is there a minimum amount for it to show on Poloniex, do you know? Or how long before it shows up on my Poloniex account? I have done this about 5 hours ago.

I I remember right there is a minimum. But I am sure you don't loose what you sent,it is just  like pending.Another thing is that you will not have problem sending 5 ethers :D

Ok I think I know what my problem is, apparently I am sending wei and not ether. The minimum ether to send to Poloniex is 0.05. That is why is not showing up on my Poloniex account.

The command I used to send one wei is:   
Code: [Select]
eth.sendTransaction({from: 'MyEtherAccount', to: 'MyPoloniexAccount', value: 1})

If I go to the blockchain I do see all the transactions in wei (7 wei total, 1 ether is like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei)   ::)

My question now is how do I send ether instead of wei?

Thanks
Title: Re: Ethereum price discussion
Post by: Louis on October 03, 2015, 07:31:36 pm
I think I got it, I just found this:

eth.sendTransaction({from: '0x036a03fc47084741f83938296a1c8ef67f6e34fa', to: '0xa8ade7feab1ece71446bed25fa0cf6745c19c3d5', value: web3.toWei(1, "ether")})

This should work, I will try it now. I will report back once I try it and get the funds in my account.

I hope this will help someone.

That's probably the profit he had from BTS so he's still fine. Not to mention someone who injected more money to keep his shorts like him, probably has more money to pour if he wants. However if he somehow doesn't have that sort of money it would be pretty epic the fact he is creating a character people might be scared to trade against. People give him to much attention and his character is probably already influencing some people's trading activity.

When I think back to the IBM talk in Shanghai, at one point I turned around to cass and said to him: "If you still have ether, you better sell them now".
The speakers statements made very clear that IBM was no intension of using the Ether chain but are interested in a customized solution. Why would Ether than have any value from IBMs partnership besides speculation? I'd rather hear an official statement from Microsoft to be sure they actually use Ether and not just the code of Ethereum before I buy a single token.

Bytemaster usually announces everything as it comes in (some projects may be dealt with in the background for legal and or NDA reasons)

i do not think new feature will help much. We would be better to do some optimise now, such as make the market operational and charge fiat easier.

BitShares 2.0 still has many tricks up its sleeve that will be rolled out in the GUI in the coming weeks. In addition to this there are other wallets coming out, promotions, worker proposals.. there are also several exchanges and projects that work with BitShares that have not had time to integrate with and launch their services after the 2.0 upgrade.

I think Microsoft hosting ETH nodes is a big deal. Many people were not sure about liabilities associated with hosting ETH nodes. But having a big player behind kind of blesses it.

i agree, any and all mainstream adoption, or even just support, goes a long way to signaling that crypto projects are not just for us fringe basket cases, but will one day soon be ubiquitous technologies. MSFT support of ETH is a huge deal, and i just can't wait for similar support of finance companies for Bitshares.

I bought into Ethereum around a $1.70. I'm speculating that Augur, Plutus (Bitcoin and Ethereum contactless payments) or Slock.it will bring attention to Ethereum platform.   It's the same gamble I took with BitShares with Play, Vote and Peertracks.  I wish success for both platforms.

IMHO, to outsiders, it looks like we're in constant flux, constantly changing the rules and our identity of what we are as a platform. This is just feedback from a small sample size of people I know in the space.  If someone created an FBA for a super simple interface for the existing prediction market code, I think we'd see a renewed interest.  We need the killer app!

I do have some Eth. if it goes up to a hundred and bitcoin doesn't go up as much then that works out pretty good for me. in spite of getting margin called.

but it'll probably go to like 5 or 6 or just enough to fuck me then fall.

I agree shorting would be a bad idea right now.  Dont jump in front of a freight train.  Of course it may be a bad idea to chase higher at this point too.  I actually sold about 10% just to lock in some profits and as more or less a hedge in case this rally Peters out, but holding the bulk for higher prices.  The 15 dma looks like a good indicator on this one.  It could go much higher.  .02, .04, .07 who knows.

I know... you have  believed in BTS for 2+ years after all.

Also in this particular case it is almost impossible... I mean I can post the chart of eth for the last day (as you claim) or 2 or 3 days or a week or a month....an no where you can have made any significant amounts shorting it. Short of using 10X leverage and getting extremely lucky in a 2-6h window.

What is most of concern now and I don't want to spread any FUD is that there are a lot of btcs trading at Polo so please consider withdraw your bts holdings from there if you don't intend to sell them..Don't get surprised if Polo gets hacked, although I am pretty sure the admins are doing a great job security wise, nonetheless I wouldn't like to see that Polo gets hacked and a lot of bts were stolen..

Well, if you managed to cover on the drop to .01002 then you couldve still made it work out, hopefully.

Shorting right now is just gambling.  You are hoping to get lucky in hitting a top.  Yes you can make moeny if you get it right, but you can also lose a lot. 

I find that when ETH breaks out to a new high, you shouldnt short it, you need to wait until it creates a trading range again.  Then when its near the top f that range you can short it, and cover if it breaks to a new high, or if it drops to the bottom of the range you cover for profit.   


But really, longing ETH on dips has been way more profitable recently. ;)  You just gotta make sure to sell if it ever breaks the uptrend.

Thanks to Chinese network effect, BTSX was starting a similar trajectory pre golden goose killer but I don't think China is that big on ETH yet so maybe more new money to come.  Unfortunately I don't have as big a position in ETH as I had in BTSX back in the day but still very nice.

Ethereum is probably worth at least 1 billion dollars. It can and should go higher. Bitcoin is 5 billion and it isn't general purpose, it doesn't have the capability of governance, it's not as extensible.

Remember when I said crypto traders are idiots... Ethereum is a prime example.  People who are buying it now are just buying it because it's going up, they have know idea what it's even about.  Crypto traders talk about being part of a "financial revolution" and replacing fiat money, but 99% only care about being on the next pump and cashing back out to fiat.

This move is sucking in so many chasers it's going to be extra painful to watch when the bubble bursts.  Hopefully the money will stay in crypto and move to some more promising projects.  I have a feeling when it does burst... a lot of the new money will just leave the entire ecosystem.

"[–]vbuterinEthereum -- Vitalik Buterin 37 points 4 hours ago

The foundation currently has ~1.65 million ETH, plus ~$750k in non-ETH assets. 1650000 * 6.1 + 750000 = $10,815,000. Based on our current ~$200k/month burn rate, that will last us ~54 months ~= 4.5 years. That said, we are planning some substantial expansions which will increase our expenses but also get casper and other fun stuff out the door much faster, and we are also starting to get interest for corporate sponsorships coming in, which could secure us a more sustainable funding path in the long term."

According to the developers, the main difference between Expanse and similar projects is that it is a "community run project"

The major similarity of course being able that their name is a single word starting with the letter "E"

 +5%

This is almost as insane as Litecoin retaining any value.

@luckybit and others I never owned a single eth because I don't understand its purpose but can you please explain me in 5 lines why ethereum should be worth $1 bil and what it can do that bitshares can't do and why bitshares shouldn't be worth equally? What are the differences and why eth is so superior?

I just don't get all this ethereum madness and I don't get it why people dump bts at these levels.
Please explain.
Thanks

Ethereum can do smart contracts and most importantly it can do computation markets. You can't do computation markets on Bitshares right now. The biggest advantage of Ethereum is it's developer friendly,

Eth is worth that much because the speculative capital make that worth much .It's simple math .

BTS is not worth that much because BM likes to kill speculators on the ground of future development and real users . Without speculative capital , you have no bubble .

So , in order for BTS to grow , BTS has to get real users . And because real users will never use a product provided by some dev without legal protection/customer support/consumer protection,  unlike real company and real product . So ...you get the idea why it is so hard for BTS to grow .

This is the reality . Users won't come in , at least not for years . Only speculative-users would . And if you kill speculators , you'll lost the only users that you can get .

I think btswildpig is right. It might be the harsh true but I agree with him. Crypto is still too young. No way there are enough users to support one. Most are speculators, those are the ones with the money that make the charts move and hence, create the appearance of an active market.

Those, like he said don't care about the user experience because they don't care about the project, they only care about the potential for it to grow in value, any coin they get their money in is just a stepping stone to achieve bigger profits.

When BTS has millions of dollars to waste on and the devs was paid handsomely and big things fake news came out frequently , BTS still didn't beat LTC . How do you explain that ?

Doge market cap is multiple times of BTS with no development at all , how do you explain that ?

You simply forget one thing : Development can be copied in one second . Capitals can not . Dogecoin can have BitShares' feature by one click if in the future people do need features , and BitShares can't have Dogecoin's capital by one click .

I might be wrong but I don't think that this is entirely true, for example if facebook decides to implement/host  bts wallets for their users we could have a huge inflow of capital, (I know my example its too far fetched  but removing development and the refferal program from the equation can drop the possibility of this to happen from X% to 0%)

I can't remember the exact numbers but the merger inflation is somewhat 12% and ends in 8 months, don't you think that the end of the merger era(12% dillution) will be more than enought for the price to recover? Do we really need that bad the 6% from development too? By messing with the 6% development imo we make more harm than good.

On topic, Ethereum has huge inflation right now,  but how would their price react if they(Ethereum) announced that they found a way to spent ALL this inflation to pay tens of EXTRA programers to improve ethereum? How would Bitcoin price react if they found a way to use their POW inflation (3600 Btc) to pay EXTRA programers too? Same question for LTC DOGE too.

Just my thoughts...

I agree with a lot of your points about bitshares Wildpig, especially the empty promises of big deals or big pushes hurting and the uncertainty of it all. But what I don't see is why that doesn't apply to ethereum.

I get that ethereum is infinitely better at marketing and community building, but I can't find any reason for the sudden price jump. There are quite a few considerable risky issues and unsolved problems, that would have caused massive outroars on the side of bitshares users and shareholders. An unspecified and encertain move to POS, as far as I can tell remaining issues with solving bandwidth and centralization (especially since they seem to hate the solutions and ideas that have been implemented in bitshares). Last I looked the pricing of "gas" is not resolved, which is kinda important if you want to have your scripts running at the same cost.

So where is this sudden spike in confidence coming from, where I'm seeing no less issues than people see in bitshares. Is it me, or does it sound a little backward to first make a complicated system and then move it to a different blockchain? It might be just me, but the ethereum blockchain sounds a little more involved than a timestamped database and when they hand wave their plans to upgrade the entire thing without even an attempt at a governance system like in dpos, not only sounds technically difficult to me, but also very hard to get concensus on. Hell if it's so hard in bitshares with it's attempts at inbuilt voting, how will it work in ethereum?

All this does not invoke me with the same confidence in ethereum, that "the market" apparently is seeing. Btw, is this price increase actual, or can this be an orchestrated pump? I'm not trying to diss ethereum, but the only other jump I've seen like this was with the ripple-manipulation, so I'm no longer able to bring myself to buy into these kinds of jumps. The thing is, if ethereum crashes hard, I'm kinda worried it will have a bad effect on all the so called bitcoin2.0 projects.

Ethereum 's current price is obviously a pump . However , every crypto's marketcap is the result of a pump . BitShares' current marketcap is the result of 2013  Bitcoin pump that has brought up PTS  , Play and Muse's marketcap was the result of BitShares pump  .

What matters is , whether this is a one time pump . Bitcoin was obviously not , BBQ coin ish , is . And Ethereum , is too short to tell .

But if there is long term capital supporting Ethereum , it can crash to the earth and then climb back up again , just like Bitcoin's history cycle .


As for bitshares , I don't know what kind of long term capital would dare enough to position itself long term .

Bottom line , marketcap is the result of pumps and dumps . That's how a virtual crypto token that with a story but no actual usage went up as high as BitShares now .

Here's my guess why Ethereum attracts so much attention... based on the idiotness of crypto traders

"Ethereum" sounds much more badass and techy than "bitshares"

"Vitalik Buterin" sounds much more mysterious and cool than "Danny Larimer"

Just my "Judge a book by it's cover" evalutation.  If your going to invest in a crypto, you might as well buy the coolest sounding one so you can sound extra cool when explaining it to your hip millennial friends at your local sodosopa.

Sure. However it is not guaranteed they would even sell. Knowing there are always people watching one could simply send a huge amount of BTS to Polo and let them sit there while other people sell expecting a dump for example. Crypto mind games


And with stealth now if we can manage to do stealth transfers to Polo one could make it to send his bts without people knowing and then withdrawing them to one bts account, rinse and repeat creating the illusion of millions of BTS leaving Polo to their accounts, creating a fake bull scenario.

Noone is going to stop them from doing so but what would be the purpose of this?

If you wanted to sell at the best price posible would you telegraph to everyone "I have tens of millions of BTS to dump right now!" or would you transfer your BTS to the exchanges using stealth? Any large transfer to exchanges without using stealth  makes no sense imo.

the great bear whales will still have the option of flooding poloniex with visible BTS transfers, right?

Noone is going to stop them from doing so but what would be the purpose of this?

If you wanted to sell at the best price posible would you telegraph to everyone "I have tens of millions of BTS to dump right now!" or would you transfer your BTS to the exchanges using stealth? Any large transfer to exchanges without using stealth  makes no sense imo.

They don't need to sell if the price drops on its own. They can just buy cheaper.

This can work and probably worked so far(without stealth available)

Now that stealth is available, would you believe that anyone that sends millions of BTS to exchanges without stealth has any intention to sell? Go and transfer hundrends of millions of BTS to poloniex without using stealth, price will not be affected because noone will believe you now, stealth transfer guarantees you more money from the sell, it does not allow every one that spies on polononiex wallet to posible frontrunn you (or whatever it is called)

yup and i think only a matter of time. every successful crypto project, whether bitcoin, ethereum, or whatever, boosts our credibility by association. Ethereum is exploding on the smart contracts thing, but we also do it with our MPAs in a smaller, but still very clever way. there should definitely be spillover effects that benefit us.

It's not only about getting a pump like others. BitShares should be recognized as a big player in the industry. That would actually support it and get more people interested. It isn't, hence our current situation.

A simple pump and riding the wave means nothing for a solid future.

A simple pump is pretty powerful. If BTS went to 200 mill right now, and then fell down again, all the major players could cash out a three year salary, and still keep 70% of their holdings. That would completely ensure BTS development until it is ready for prime time. It would also generate a massive influx of new users and developers willing to sign up to be a worker and witness. All of this is best achieved if we just suck it up and HODL. The "lock up funds" proposal makes more and more sense, especially in the pump climate that we will be seeing in this space going forward.

If you think a price increase of 20x, getting BitShares to 8 cents is a simple pump... yeah, it's pretty powerful then.

We apparently have some powerful bots keeping the price like this, plus people who are willing to short up to 500BTC to take a profit, do you think a simple pump can go through all of that? It can't. Either there's a bitcoin ath rise and everything irrationally shoots up or BTS is seen like the Litecoin of Ethereum or major events happen. I honestly don't think we can get there easily or that if we did, it would be a "simple" pump

ETH showing signs of topping out now that it briefly passed 0.03 btc. If ETH corrects now, it will take all the other pump coins with it. BTS has not experience anything like the ETH club pump over the past month; SYS, EXP, FTC, MAID, and even DGB all had nice runs, so I expect they will all contract if ETH leads the way down. At that point, disillusioned pump addicts may finally light the fire for BTS. (Not that I am advocating a pump, but it would be nice for BTS to get some recognition.)

What's keeping them from joining is they havent been hacked lately. If everything is going well for them - look at polo's volume - they won't change the way they operate. It can probably hurt them short term, even though it's best long term for safety reasons.

Bridges don't hold your coins like an exchange do, they are simply used to make a transaction when you want to convert crypto, which means the time you're exposed to a hack is way less, meaning it has less risk.

Of course though, if you use a btc IOU form a third party you're still at risk that third party gets hacked and looses their BTC. That's why collaterized assets are important and why sidechains are even better (require less collateral than our current model). Still, an exchange has more risks of getting hacked other than loosing private keys. It can mess up the database for example, loose users information details, passwords, etc. At least with BitShares the user is the only one who has those.

It's not 100% risk free. But it decreases possible attack vectors.

My point is that once a bridge/gateway's btc/altcoin wallets are hacked and they lost all their coins, the bridge/gateway simply can no longer survive and their IOUs become worthless.  I do not see a significant advantage over centralised exchanges.

seeing eth go moon should be welcomed and cheered by all cryptos. it's good for everyone. only the fearful, un-hedged or fiat chasing sheep who feel like they are "missing out" on a payday would discourage such a rise from another crypto-platform.

at least that's how i see it. not firing shots, just making an observation. all crypto is rising against a common foe. embrace eth's rise as your own, even if not invested.

I hate to ask this but with poloniex having most of the volume, can we be certain no such "Willy" bot is playing out similar to Gox?  I'm not knocking ETH, just makes one wonder about third party exchanges and exactly what the BitShares project is trying to fix.  Please do not turn my question into a ETH or BTS subject, simply asking about a third party exchange and the potential for another "willy" bot.

The top of the channel is currently around 0.036. It is possible we might see a surge to 0.036, but at this point the risk of staying in ETH outweighs reward. Yes, ETH will continue to appreciate in the future,  but for the near term I'm expecting a price correction, possibly as low as ~ 0.0235, before the uptrend resumes. BTW, if it gets down that low,  it will be a spike caused by margin calls, and the price will probably recover very quickly. (On the flip side, if the price substantially breaches 0.036, it will be a case of irrational exuberance and all the above will be invalidated, at least for the short term.)

Possibly tomorrow. IMHO.

This chart shows two parallel trends. ETH has corrected to the bottom of the upper trend channel. If ETH drops below 0.0270, it could freefall down to 0.0200 and then stabilize somewhere inside the lower trend channel.

Some of the major alts appears tied to ETH's fortunes, so if ETH drops again, BTS might follow.

One variable: ETH is now trading on chbtc.com. To what extent will Chinese demand effect the price of ETH?

The H&S formation is a possibility, but it is not meaningful until it breaks the neckline, so it would have to go under .02.  If that occurs it looks like a return to low .01s probably.  But alternately it could just stay up here or go higher (though with the market cap at a billion already, upside is more limited than most other alts). 

I kindof hope or a scenario where eth stays in the .02s or low .03s for a long time, bitcoin stays in the low 400s for a long time, and other alts are given a chance to prosper without the big two rocking the boat by doing anything crazy.

It's a bit off topic but I still ask this question here because most of the traders of this community watch this thread.

You (traders) probably saw my thread on the creation of a weighted index of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation. It's almost done, it shouldn't be long now for me to officialize the web site and create the smartcoin.

If you didn't see the thread, here it is : https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21999.30.html (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21999.30.html)

The force settlement offset is by default at 1%, @Empirical1.2  tell me this :

"If I was too guess, I would think you might have more people willing to go long than short, so you would probably want to offset that with settings that are more favourable for shorters. A force settlement offset of 5% should be more positive for people shorting the index as they would be less worried that they are going to be force settled against unexpectedly. I think, I'm not sure about that though."

Which make a lot of sense ! Any of you have some thought about it or see another % fit better ???

Please consider answer on the original thread ( https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21999.30.html (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21999.30.html) ) so it doesn't disturb the conversation on the bts price, thanks guys ;p

Barring any really good unexpected news in the next week, I think ETH will go below $500 million.

Their latest update did feature a cliff face as their first image of choice in presenting Ethereums road ahead.

Horrible PR blender.. or subliminal warning?

Read the commentaries.. I can't find a lot of happy campers.

Eth is like some monster from a horror flick that just wont die.  It keeps getting wounded, but then bam it springs back out of the sea.  Why won't it just die?

Full disclosure I have a very small short open on polo.  About 5 eth.  I use polo margin as a replacement for other types of gambling that I might otherwise engage in.

Ethereum buyers have a bad case of irrational exuberance. Buyers are unresponsive to cold facts like declining volume since the ATH on 3/13. The rise looks like a short squeeze, where sellers are all sold out, and the few remaining irrational buyers are bidding up the price on low volume and limited supply. Then some whale comes along and sells out from under them and the cycle starts all over again.

Yeah I might lose on this one :) My thinking is that they have a high valuation, a lot for sale under 0.032 and high inflation atm.

If you look at LTC when it had that kind of inflation, it could never maintain a high level, as that 30% inflation would always drag the price down when the current reason for speculative demand dried up.

If I lose on this trade, I'll lose on others because I've put buy orders very low on other things I like expecting a sharp Ethereum correction to make them crash too, so I might end up having to buy into them higher. Oh well...

It's been a good trade so far. ETH made it up to 0.0295 (on NY times article and Visual Studio News) and has been falling since.

It's falling a little bit slower than I expected but it's pretty clear that with the current inflation level it needs frequent big news to sustain this valuation otherwise it's an easy short.

DCA is dollar cost averaging. So I'm buying more MAID now so that my average price for Maid on this trade will be lower.

MVP is minimum viable product. MAID are very close to releasing a MVP finally, possibly in the next few weeks, I'm hoping when that happens MAID will see new highs and the trade will pay off.

Been short ETH/BTC again.

Supply removal caused by DAO will be coming to an end and should actually reverse as gets spent putting pressure on price.

ETH needs a lot of new constant demand to sustain a billion valuation anyway due to high inflation.

Bullish on BTC as halving not too far off. (After halving BTC will need less average new demand to sustain 7 billion than ETH does to sustain 1.2 Billion.)

Someone is attacking DAO: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDao/comments/4ohwgu/one_of_the_whales_has_split_from_the_dao/

Quote
The DAO ETH Balance was 11,599,353.25 Ether 24 hours ago with a total Token Supply of 1,159,931,811.69 TheDAO, now there is currently only 8,914,536.17 Ether with a total Token Supply: 1,159,813,810.27 TheDAO.

So 118001.42 tokens has split with 2684817.08 Eth? 22.75 Eth per DAO token? Can someone explain?

I was short ETH and losing on that trade, thanks to this managed to close with a nice profit.

Where I do see upcoming short potential is in ETH. Since being added to Bitfinex or for some other reason, it seems to be a lot more correlated to BTC however when the increased volumes and current tailwinds die down I think it will struggle to maintain that inflated price with it's much higher level of inflation.

Hopefully ETH will recover just so I can short it again. I will be a buyer of ETH once it switches to POS (Lower inflation)

You have probably already figured this out after the DAO fiasco, but at this point ETH has crossed into a full on bear market. It's possible you could see some short term upside to .019 or even .020, but longer term I think we're headed for sub-.010s. Maybe as low as .006 or even lower. Suffice to say I'm shorting it for now.
