Ethereum

[_mr_e]

It doesn't really matter anymore. Eth has already proven itself to not be a good form of sound money, but now it has also proven to be quite reckless in its development. The switch to pos is obviously going to be another splitting mess. This on top of the fact that it was already a flawed idea with computation happening on chain(as opposed to verification), this project is standing on very little atm.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. It's been holding steady at $11-$12. I'd say that's an achievement given how turbulent the last two months have been for ETH.

The team and community goes on developing and making enhancements. Although the initial hype has clearly worn off, its now in the hands of the developers / community how they make ETH grow. That's a nice place to be.

Well, Ripple held steady for a long time too. Time will tell.

 

[Bloomie]

Thinking about buying if ETH dips below $5. Thoughts?

 

[_mr_e]

Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Bitcoin is the place to be right now.

 

[Matthew Light]

I'm pretty happy about my Ethereum investment right now.

 

[_mr_e]

Pumpers back to play.

Grats Matt!

Time told you wrong. Congratulate the guy and move on.

This is probably the worst advice I've considered, ever.

 

[_mr_e]

The worst? Bitcoins done pretty damn well since I said that.

 

[Bloomie]

Seriously? Bitcoin went from $800 to $1,200 since December while Ethereum went from $7 to $46.

 

[humanitee]

I mean yeah, that's still a 50% gain. He was wrong and also right. Just more wrong than right.

 

[Bloomie]

He said that something which ended up receiving a 550% gain in four months was not to be touched with a 10-foot pole. That's the definition of being wrong.

 

[humanitee]

You see, the gains are too good for him. Better a modest 50%.

 

[Bloomie]

No one is disputing that Bitcoin is a good investment. We are discussing whether his prediction and advice were good. They were not.

Prediction: Investment X is better than investment Y.
Outcome 1: Investment X receives a 50% gain.
Outcome 2: Investment Y receives a 550% gain
Conclusion: Prediction was wrong.

 

[humanitee]

I was just joking...

 

[_mr_e]

In all fairness, I still wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole

 

[Matthew Light]

Honestly, it looks to me like Ethereum is now sucking the market cap out of Bitcoin. For many reasons, but primarily the terrible leadership of Core.

I hope you all are hedged. You all are the good guys. I have massive respect for the BU crowd and this board.

How I learned to hate alt coins - I have a nice hedge on a few percent of my Bitcoin holdings diversified on cryptsy. I have a few gems in the collection unfortunately I didn't want the hassle of managing all those wallets and now they've been stolen. No ETH though. I'm backing bitcoin.

@AdrianX BTC-e kept my NVC and namecoin I bought back four years ago . . . in the future though I think If I buy a bit of altcoins it'll be only ones that I can store easily on my Trezor.
