Last Chance to hop in on Ethereum, boys.
Next stop is the moon.
Imagine how it'll feel to have made millions effortlessly with all your /biz/ bros
>>1086192
no thanks breh i'll pass
bought earlier today
What is a realistic goal for ETH and when do you expect it to reach that level?
>>1086192
>>1086195
I'd be shocked it if doesn't hit double digit USD value this month.
>>1086192
how much is it going to go up by? how much do I need to put in per million to get out? I don't have a lot to spend
>>1086203
buy what you can, desu
whatever you can spare without stressing your lifestyle
>>1086199
What about longer term? What's a realistic max?
>>1086209
He doesn't know you idiot he's just trying to get people to buy this shit
He might as well say "I'd be surprised if it doesn't $15.23 by March", it means nothing
>>1086203
>how much do I need to put in per million to get out?
I have no idea. But you're looking at a reasonable 150% return on your money in near future.
>>1086209
I honestly couldn't say. But judging from the absolutely massive long term impact the stuff has, I wouldn't rule much out.
When finally launched, Ethereum will allow for a more user friendly version of the dark net- perfectly anonymous and essentially immune to oversight. Quite likely legal too.
Exciting times
>Tfw spending years shitposting on a Malaysian dress embroidery forum will finally make you richer than your wagecuck friends
What is the fastest and easiest way to buy it?
Can I put it on my credit card or is it considered a cash withdrawal by the bank?
>>1086230
I'm actually new to the board. Just have been doing a fuckload of research into the stuff lately.
This is more than Bitcoin 2.0. It's gonna be big.
And nothing would make me happier than for my fellow outcasts to get rich too.
>>1086247
So just keep it in 1 thread.
There's more than 5 threads about ethereum, is it really necessary?
>This is more than Bitcoin 2.0. It's gonna be big.
Yeah yeah.PND and DOGE already got big amirite?
>>1086247
>tfw waiting for approval on Kraken
I would cop if I could, you think could spare me some?

>>1086252
All other *coins were literally memes, especially DOGE of course. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only things that matter. Bitcoin is still rather high in value despite silk road being gone, there is still trust in the technology, I have seen lately that ETH is the next step of the evolution. I've been very wary about putting money in it. After research it shows itself to be a potentially massive thing, but only if the autistic developers can even fucking market it properly.
>>1086192
>Imagine how it'll feel to have made millions effortlessly with all your /biz/ bros
>tfw can't buy in yet because still waiting on btc exchange bank verification
this is the worst feel
>>1086252
>DOGE
In the long term each Ether could be worth 10's of thousands.
They've solved most of bitcoins problems when it comes to scalability and the economic model is far less pyramid schemey.
Bought 594 @ 0.0056
TO THE MOON BAYBEEEEE
>>1086274
How do they get around the problem of the block chain becoming excessively large?
>>1086280
594 ETH? Do you just buy every cryptocurrency that comes out?
>>1086290
oh 0.0056 btc. nevermind.
>>1086287
Why would it? You dont store data on it
>>1086293
It's a record of all accounts and transactions. More transactions = bigger block chain.
>>1086303
something something smart contracts. Someones working on it
>>1086287
the put it in a .zip
>>1086287
Off the top of my head, its something like;
Bitcoin uses really large block sizes or something. And the developers refuse to admit its a problem and fix it.
It's gotten so bad that Bitcoin has terrible congestion, and transactions can now take over a day to process.
>>1086192
assuming you had 5k to spend on it ...
>have a wallet with 2BTC in it
>was going to change them for ETH two weeks ago
>couldn't remember the password
fuck it all
>>1086192
Nobody ever told me where to buy it and searching isn't helping so gg.
>>1086261
There's plenty of darknet markets other than Silk Road. Vacuum has been filled.
Market keeps going down, people panic sell, but are mostly late.
Want to 'make up for' losses.
Hear about eth, see bitcoin 2.0 hypetrain, pump cash into eth,
What happens then?
I know its probably shit logic, but then again im a shit poster
>>1086507
Does your mother still cut up your food for you too or are you still at the breast feeding stage?
>>1086502
could have had at least 3btc by now..
>>1086531
Here this, ether was the first mega pump dump
it will correct back to 300k satoshi
>praise jesus
buy xem
>>1086263
dont worry bro. although that sucks, you'll still make a killing if you get in any time within the next weeks.
>>1086554
Xem is dropping though, not buying now
>>1086531
>How to buy Ethereum
>Just do it lmao
>Ethereum website
>Just have a wallet lmao
Fuck it.
>>1086584
Wow how do you even get up in the morning and make it through each day, everything sounds so difficult for you.
I'm poor as fuck, got about a 100 bucks in college money invested, can I still get in more in about 2 weeks?
>>1086618
of course you'll still be able to get in. Won't be able to buy as much, but you'll still be able to buy an ether or two
How do I buy?
Good morning gentlemen
>>1086268
believe it or not but there's money to be made with DOGE
>>1086630
If ether price retracts at all the profits will go to doge. Its well known that ether and doge are best buds.
Doge is diesel to ethers petrol.
>buying at top
Idiots
What is the actual use for this shit except bag holding?
Where is Ethereum actually used?
>>1086631
there not stupid lol they pumped dodge already in preperation
>>1086631
I notice how ETH has impact on a number of alts, not DOGE specifically, i'll keep it in mind
>>1086632
People have been telling me that for weeks now, and still it's been all profit
>>1086640
And when doge is pumped the ether whales take profits and use them in the next leg up in ether.
So far this is like clockwork.
>>1086644
Doge is ethers litecoin.
Doge will be the first coin to become a ethereum token. See: 'dogethereum'
I first hated the shilling on here but this is a good opportunity to cash in for those like me who missed their chance with bitcoin.
>>1086261
>All other *coins were literally memes, especially DOGE
Dude.
Dogecoin will be the Silver to whatever the fuck ETH is.
Due to it's fair distribution and large user base and stats confirming that it is the only altcoin that seems to be used as an actual currency.
LTC confirmed for boring and death a long time ago.
Ripple confirmed for Botnet.
Dash confirmed for shady instamine.
>>1086649
>>1086650
fuck me. wish i knew that a bit earlier, sold every single bit of DOGE for 0.00000039 literally right before the pump - figured it was dead and gone
>>1086656
Just buy ether
>>1086634
look up "GAS" in relation to ether
just google "What is Ether Gas and what is it for?"
and then you'll understand what ether is and what all the hype is about spoiler: [spoiler]Ether is really a distributed crypto database that anyone can use to run a crypto based application/alternative currency/contract[/spoiler]
Waiting to get verified on Kraken to buy ether. May take 48 hours.
What if I miss the boat?
>>1086667
You wont miss it, it's never coming :(
bought at 4.83 because i believed the sky was the limit, i was memed into this.
>>1086652
>Due to it's fair distribution and large user base and stats confirming that it is the only altcoin that seems to be used as an actual currency.
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>1086667
Plenty of normies are far behind you.
If you've been on /biz/ you are ahead of the information curve of even people that subscribe to r/bitcoin. Because talk of ethereum is censored on r/bitcoin and bitcointalk
When those faggots realise they've been kept in the dark they will be mad
>>1086668
Don't be a complete fag. By tomorrow you'll be up
>>1086669
Nothing about that was untrue. Doge has a very fair gini coefficient
>>1086667
ether isn't even off the ground, we're making meme profits with pump and dump
you think bitcoin has hit the moon?
it hasn't, but it never will because it's a busted rocket without the engines to get there
You still have plenty of time to get in before exchanges do straight real world currency trades instead of this USD>BTC>ETH shit
You still have plenty of time to get in before china finds out.
You still have plenty of time until ether is being shilled on mainstream business news channels like bitcoin was
You still have plenty of time before financial institutions use ether to handle internal transactions
You still have plenty of time before financial institutions use ether to handle external transactions
All you're missing out on is the January - March 2016 meme pump and dump.
>>1086680
because you touch yourself at night
>>1086675
I have faith it will go up, but it still hurts knowing i bought at both the daily, and the all-time high. Put in 200$, considering doing more. It's addicting...
Don't sell, hold atleast until the end of march retards.
>>1086665
So where is it actually used physically right now where a consumer benefits?
>>1086192
What else is going to pump and dump besides Ethereum?
its super interesting watching the coinmarketcap thing
>>1086697
banks are internally testing it
people are setting up apps using it
go to the ethereum website scroll down to the bottom and have a look at the apps in development
>>1086705
>banks are internally testing it
Can I have a source on that.
>people are setting up apps using it
Which apps?
>>1086704
scheme that attempts to boost the price of a stock through recommendations based on false, misleading or greatly exaggerated statements
ETH is no pump and dump though
>>1086708
Consensys
R3
Ethcore
It's part of hyperledger working group
Big Apps:
Augur
Slock.it

here's one that's merging bitcoin and ether for contactless payments

ok now go to https://www.ethereum.org/
and scroll the fuck down until you get to the point where the webpage looks like my pic related and start doing you're own fucking research
>>1086708
just google it
Exactly how much do i have to invest to get a reasonable profit?
>>1086736
I hate hearing this question. Think of returns in %s, not dollar values.
Honestly, but in like a grand to start and could very likely double it. Everyone here is raving about it hitting $100/eth, but I think a more conservative estimate is $15. So as of now, you could double (and a bit) your investment, whatever you're willing to risk.
How do I buy these as a Europoor? (Austria if that matters)

Sign up for Kraken (tier 3) asap, verification takes a while.
Posting this so I'm not repeating myself:
Idiot’s guide to buying ETH
Create ETH paper wallet at: myetherwallet.com (Also a BTC wallet at blockchain.info if you haven’t already)
Quick Way (Short-term)
1. Purchase BTC/XBT at QuickBT (Canada) or WeSellCrypto.com
2. Convert BTC/XBT to ETH at shapeshift.io, send to ETH wallet
Slow Way (Long-term)
1. Create Kraken account, depending if you wish to fund the trading account with USD/CAD, submit all necessary info for Tier 3 account. Verification (Tier 3) takes a few days, unfortunately.
2. If you have any BTC/XBT, deposit into Kraken account and start trading ETH.
3. Do not get into the habit of using Kraken as a crypto-wallet, any ETH you wish to hold should be moved into the wallet.
I advise signing up for Kraken sooner than later (Tier 3), verification takes a few days and with influx of sign ups may take longer. There's still potential for profit to be made before news hits the normies. Anyways, good luck everyone, etc etc
Also, throw me some BTC donations:
1PU7tJzTBn1owYRWuivEXhDgcFWagTnaou
or ETH:
0x05914b4b89f00e2bfaaf97dcc00efc3767bddeb7
>>1086192
So where do you buy it?
Mommy told me buying at top is dumb.
dropped to sub 4, where are our gods?
>>1086697
http://dapps.ethercasts.com
>>1086685
I did the same thing. Some quote reminiscent of "better to be (X amount of time) early than a day late" makes me comfortable with my decision.
How is ETH better than BTC
And how is BTC better than ETH
Explain objectively with no shilling
BTC is good right now because it is pretty much anonymous and you can buy bad stuff with it. That is where intrinsic value comes from.
>>1086863
ETH improves on everything that BTC fails on. It's that simple. BTC is insolvable.
>>1086776
Cool it's following the classic bubble trajectory nicely
>>1086754
what are the benefits of choosing the slow way over the short way?
>>1086863
Ether is really a distributed crypto database that anyone can use to run a crypto based application/alternative currency/contract
If bitcoin is gold
then ether is crude oil
Bitcoin is a way to store and transfer value.
Ether can store and transfer value but it is also the fuel for other crypto based applications, currencies and smart contracts. You can use ether to setup crypto bonds, crypto derivatives, crypto stock issuances, crypto insurance and basically any other crypto financial instrument you can come up with. And they get processed on the ether mining network.
>>1086865
Reiterating that good ideas aren't inherently successful. BTC is still far and away the premiere coin. Barring catastrophic failure, there is no reason to expect that to change. ETH also still has all the same issues in adaptability as every other coin, so its nothing but speculative for the foreseeable future. What are you gonna do when someone makes a coin improving on ETH? Dump and move on. That's why ETH isn't happening. Also for anyone paying attention its obvious ETH has a pretty strong shill network, which in itself is more than enough reason to stay away. ETH supporters just combat any critisim with jargon and refuse to address real issues with the currency.
>>1086876
What are the real issues with the currency other than the fact it's a crypto currency and therefore "LOL ALL CRYPTO IS A PUMP N DUMP!"
For BTC you can buy guns, drugs, CP and all other bullshit and it is pretty much anonymous if you are not dumb.
Can you buy that stuff with ETH?
No you can't.
So how is ETH actually better?
What can I physically do with ETH that I cannot do with other things and what people are actually doing?
>>1086876
Please give me three examples of those "real issues with the currency".
>>1086876
>strong shill network
It's just people like me who are excited about the possibilities of ethereum and want to spread the word. I'm not part of any "network".
Hey guys can I get some ether seeds? I wanna see if my wallet is working correctly. Thx

>>1086884
>nvm i want you to stay out of it now and live with your eternal regret
These are emotional trigger words that you are using and are counteracting a sound investment policy.
Appealing to emotions is scammiest shilling method you can use. Please be more constructive.
>>1086880
There aren't any developed applications for Etherium. How is this coin going to work in the real world? We haven't seen a coin that has accomplished anything meaningful or managed to break into the mainstream yet. Despite ETH's technological advancements over BTC, at this point betting that it is going to take off is just speculative garbage.
>>1086899
By the time it does, the 'speculators' will be the ones who have made all the profit. Profit that could have been yours had you speculated on ethereums success. Success that you would know to be quite likely if you just took the time to read the recent news and look into the mechanics of the development work and the ecosystem.
>>1086876
Could you please point the main problems with ETH system please? I want to be informed from both sides before deciding to buy and speculate.
>>1086895
no i've actually given up
i literally don't want you investing in this
i've also realised the power of anti-pumping so i can get in more for a bigger pop for the real pump for when the chinese and normies get in
>>1086192
Is there a mining program for 32-bit windows?
>>1086876
It's one thing to shill, it's another to have a bunch of companies investing in its ecosystem.
>>1086899
>i want a sure thing
>here i know i'll wait until it's completely reached market maturity and everyone has gotten into it
you're a genius dude you're gonna be so fucking rich, everyone knows the laggards are the ones to make it to the moon
>>1086872
anyone mind answering this plox?
>>1086909
cpu mining is useless you need to gpu mine it
>>1086914
If BTC falls and you have BTC at the time, you lose money.
If ETH falls and you have ETH at the time, you lose money.
If ETH falls and you have BTC, you incur no losses, and now have ability to buy more ETH is desired.
If you have ETH (gone up 5%), and want BTC (gone down 5%), you can buy more BTC.
This is trading 101, man.
>>1086914
Value vs the dollar (or whatever currency you pay real bills in) dumbass. If you buy btc at 350 and trade for ether at 3.50 lets say. And then bitcoin goes down too 300. You still have 350 us dollars worth of ethereum
>>1086927
this is /biz/ man
people don't know what "handle" means
it's the latter
>>1086924
>>1086926
the question was if I want to sell it back. If I bought BTC with USD, say 300$, then bought 300$ worth of ETH with BTC and my ETH valued money rises to 350$, while my BTC valued money falls to 250$, this would nullify any gains I would've made right? Because I still have to do all the trading through BTC eventually
>>1086930
Thank god, I thought I was beginning to smell toast.
>>1086937
No, this would not nullify gains, depending on if you're trading ETH/USD or ETH/BTC. If you trade using the former (ETH/USD), you have no unrealized losses.
If you're holding ETH at the time BTC falls, then it still doesn't matter as ETH (being worth more) can buy you more BTC (especially since now BTC is worth less).
As another anon said, value vs the dollar.
>>1086937
Ether in that case would be worth more dollars than btc.
Bitcoin collapsing would be a seperate issue and could cause the ether price to go up or down. In any case it would be a volatile time.
>>1086907
>i literally don't want you investing in this
Another popular trick used here. The thing "no, I actually don't want you". Please, don't just shill harder and provide objective statements.
>>1086937
Depends on how the ratio between ETH and BTC changes, but most likely if, in dollar terms, ETH rises and BTC drops you'll be able to buy more BTC in the end
>>1086899
>We haven't seen a coin that has accomplished anything meaningful or managed to break into the mainstream yet
Bitcoin went mainstream.
Everyone relatively intelligent knows about it pretty much.
It just isn't used.
>>1086942
I see where my mistake I think I got it now.
What would happen though if the ETH to BTC exchange rate would get really high and nobody would demand bitcoin anymore? like what if 1 ETH would be worth 1000 BTC, but nobody's buying them anymore because they've been overtaken by ETH?
I signed up on kraken and submitted all the docs for tier 3 verification. been waiting a couple days now. I'm gonna miss the moon aren't I lads?
>>1086965
Don't worry, it will drop like most normal systems do. Then it will raise again, and drop again.
>>1086965
No. The reason people are excited about this crypto is because it is not a pump and dump coin. It has a solid development roadmap and has some of the finest minds in computer science working on it.
>>1086966
It won't drop that much. Growth may slow but I foresee steady growth in waves all year.
This novembers Devcon2 conference in China will be a milestone and could cause another huge january pump like this year. And by then we will have more than a few working DAPPS
>>1086668
Patience desu
>>1086754
I have all mine on poloniex, should I transfer to a legit ether wallet or is it safe there?
>>1086986
im wondering the same, im holding in polo until a nicer wallet comes out.
Is this a new price point or is there some expected profit taking? I had a buy order that never got filled because it ended up shooting up so fast
>>1086995
Yah I think I am too, right now I buy btc on coin base but it only let's me buy 25 dollars instantly and up to a hundred but I have to wait 4 days, I wish I could up my limits
>>1087002
My feeling is that it will stay above 0.01 at strong support and the next leg up will be coming tonight as America gets home from the office
>>1086963
Then someone will just start a service where you can sell ether for money.
>>1087018
Circle is already about to add ETH so you will be able to buy ETH direct soon!
No more pissing about with bitcoins. You hear that nocoiners? Your prayers are about to be answered
>>1087023
what is circle?
>>1087036
Yes but by the time that happens the early birds will have stolen most of your worm.
>>1087060
Ethereum noob here. I'm interested in buying some Ether, about $300 worth. I understand that I have to get some BTC first, but I'm also interested in mining some.
I have a Radeon r290 GPU, is this a good enough card to mine Ether? I've never mined crypto before so I'm unsure of the desired specs. Also, I don't have a dedicated mining machine, I was just planning on using my personal computer. Is this stupid?
$300 is roughly 1700 Ether at this point, but it's getting more expensive day by day. Should I buy now? Will this shit really take off? How much of a return on investment am I looking at here?
>>1087080
I have no idea about mining. Im not a technical person.
To your second question, Yes. And no idea, probably quite a lot
I have been doing substantial reading on ethereum. I understand the theory and the top level ways of obtaining ether (mine or buy with bit coin). I am not interested in mining like the guy above- can someone please breakdown a step by step on how to actually buy Ether. Thanks
>>1087089
That depends on where you live. I only know first hand how to buy it in the UK.
If you have bitcoin you can buy it at shapeshift.io that works for anyone that doesn't live in NY
>>1087084
Right on. I didn't mean to reply to you actually, my bad.
But in your opinion my best bet would simply be to buy some ether at current market price and just sit on it?
>>1087092
Probably. I think 0.01btc is a support level and it's unlikely to dip below that price as we are in a strong bull market.
>>1087089
1. Google "how to buy bitcoin"
2. Register on poloniex or kraken
3. Send your btc to the deposit address
4. Buy eth
5. Look into getting verified with your exchange it's not a must
>>1087101
Note: add your country of residence to step 1
>>1087098
I think it might even continue to rise in around six hours time. So your best bet is to investigate the fastest way to obtain BTC (localbitcoins takes about an hour depending on the sellers) and then use shapeshift.io to buy ETH as soon as possible.
>>1087106
what makes you thin it will rise in six hours?
Thanks much appreciated. USA resident. For step 1 whats the best place for buying btc (no fees, close to marketprice, etc..)
>>1087110
Americans getting back from work at that time.
>>1087112
and?
>>1087114
Getting their kids fed then getting on the computer and trading ETH.
That's a lot of people selling for something that it supposed to be THE shit to have...
Whats the process for NYC
Help ;_;
>>1087148
Use a vpn or proxy then use shapeshift.io
>>1087137
There are hugely more buy orders than sell orders.
Are you sure you know how to read charts?
>>1087130
>ETH traders
>work
>KIDS
WEW
LAD
>>1087111
Look on preev.com for the current mktprice and base it on that.
>>1087101
It is a must, especially since most btc bought outside of an exchange is not at market price. So unless you wanna pay more for btc, then go Tier 3.
>>1087163
>still thinks cryptocurrency is just kids.

The average American wagekek parent doesn't even know what cryptography is never mind fucking Bitcoin or obscure ETH.
Fucking hang yourself with your delusions.
>>1087214
Everyone knows about Bitcoin.
People just don't want to use it.
>>1087214
>he's never met anyone in the crypto community IRL
The age range is 15 to 50. Maybe you spend a lot of time on 4chan idk
>>1087221
>Everyone knows about Bitcoin.
This is the kind of shit you spout when you don't have a job or interact with anyone outside your house. I'm sorry, the internet isn't real life. Maybe the forums you visit do but you can bet your bottom autismbuck that less than 5% of the GENERAL POPULATION know what a Bitcoin is.
you guys remember a while ago when BTC was 300 cadbucks n all the faggots were saying naaah its gonna plummet ? well what the fuck, i could have made 20 grand if i bought 30 grand worth of BTC, FUCK.
/biz/NITCHES can reeeeaally screw you up.
>>1087237
It'd be straight up reckless to invest 20K into any one thing unless that's pennies for you.
No one can see the future, regardless of what they tell you.
>>1087237
Eth is only 3$. You would be dumb to not buy this cheap.
>>1087283
i bought at 4.83, did i dun goofed?
>>1087289
No. You'll be fine. It will be double figure later in the month.
>>1087289
Yes and no.
>>1086199
lol is this trash still worth nothing?
>>1087289
Yes. Coming in really late is the dumbest possible thing you can do in investing.
>>1087289
No goyim, your did good.
>>1087289
people bought in at $2.6 and then sold when it went to $2.12
and a day later it hit $4
the same thing will happen to you if you sell

Alright so if I want to invest $300 in ether that gives me roughly 60eth (at today's price). Is that a worthwhile investment? I don't really have any more than that to invest right now, but I start a new job next week where I'll actually begin making some better money. Should I buy now and buy some more once I have more cash to throw around?
Can someone say with confidence how far this shit will go up? I mean, BTC capped at around $1000, will we see the same from Ethereum?
>>1087361
oh, i'm not considering selling, i can take the loss if it hits 0. I'm in it for fun, bragging rights and hopefully some profit.
What makes this so much better than other altcoins?
All I heard was that it's good for programming or some shit... seems like another gimmick, like namecoin.
Stop shaking over your shekels and put them to a good use by investing into the future. Get in now or be BTFO later.
>>1087367
pls some respond
>>1087394
Maybe. I think it will be far bigger than BTC
>>1087395
Alright well I'm thinking about sinking anywhere between $300-800 on ether, and also looking into mining it as well. I feel like I missed my chance to make some /bigbucks/ because I only learned about Ethereum a few days ago, but if a few hundred bucks turns into a few hundred thousand...well I guess I won't mind.
Can you say why you think it will be bigger than BTC?
>>1087401
18 months

>a few hundred bucks turns into a few hundred thousand
>>1087235
You are ignorant. Bitcoin is mainstream knowledge, it has been in the news. People just think its shit and that is why they don't use it.
>>1087433
So?
Most Americans don't keep up with the news. For the record, bitcoin hasn't been in the news long.
You'd be surprised at how much stuff most people DONT KNOW.
I can go on a college campus with a picture of George Washington, ask 10 kids who he is, and I'll be surprised if more than 1 knows.
Average people are stupid as fuck- just look at all the people buying BTC and ETH!
saged and report everysingle etherum bot, stop fucking with biz with your ponzi scheme you fucking asssholes
What happens if Vitalik dies?
>>1086194

very unlikely. if anyone tries to hurt vitalik, I'll beat em up :^)

i've met almost no normies in real life who have heard of bitcoin

THIS SHIT IS UNSTOPPABLE
>>1088830
You must live in a very stupid place.
>>1088840
rofl. something like 50% of the US has heard of bitcoin
must be alabama
>>1088840
Take a poll of people walking into your average supermarket between 2 and 3pm. I bet 99.9% never even heard of bitcoins
>>1088843
A new report by the CSBS (Conference of State Bank Supervisors) and the Massachusetts Division of Banks suggests that Americans are still wary of bitcoin. Over half of respondents, or 51% have heard of either bitcoin or other virtual currency. Men, Whites and Hispanics were more likely to have heard of bitcoin compared to women or African-Americans. The ”knowledge gap” is also present when comparing incomes and education. Of those making over $100,000, 70% have heard of virtual currencies. A similar percentage of college students (67%) have heard of bitcoin.
>>1086261
ETH is a meme too, at the end of the day everything is going to gravitate around BTC and it's blockchain across sidechains. No other coin will ever be as solid, they would need a time machine so they exist for a longer period than BTC, and that's impossible. BTC will always have the record of the longest standing blockchain, the rest are wannabe chores.
Sidechains will make alts even more irrelevant, they remain a gambling casino to make more BTC, just like the people about to dump ETH are going to do.
>>1088847
>"Virtual currencies"
See even the news doesn't know enough about crypto to get the terms right.
Hearing of the word "bitcoin" is dofferent from having the slightest clue what it actually IS
>>1088869
PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CASUAL
>>1088869
I think you're brain needs to catch up with real events.
Bitcoin maximalists are the nocoiners of 2016
>Blockchain consortium R3 CEV has announced its first distributed ledger experiment using Ethereum and Microsoft Azure's Blockchain as a Service, and involving 11 of its member banks.
>The R3-managed private peer-to-peer distributed ledger connected Barclays, BMO Financial Group, Credit Suisse, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, HSBC, Natixis, Royal Bank of Scotland, TD Bank, UBS, UniCredit and Wells Fargo.
>George Hallam, external relations director, Ethereum Foundation, said: "Here at the Ethereum Foundation we welcome demonstrations of the versatility and capability of the Ethereum platform and its underlying technology. R3 is significantly advancing the use case portfolio of Ethereum, and we are encouraged and excited by that.
>Brad Novak, chief technology officer for the Investment Bank at Barclays, said: "As we progress our evaluations of shared ledgers and smart contracts, we look forward to leveraging R3's lab environment for collaborative technology experiments.
>"Ethereum is a well-known open source technology in this space and we also look forward to collaborative experiments using other technologies."
Oh, so this is why there's so much shilling. The banksters are using ethereum to develop their own blockchain solutions to compete against bitcoin.
>>1088909
Wait, upon further research...
>We are not using the Ethereum public chain. We cloned/forked Ethereum and made a private instance of it. There will be other platforms that will be tested and announced in the future.
So they're just copying ethereum.
>>1088909
>nocoiners absolutely BTFO
>>1088913
Yes an ethereum testnet.
If banks adopt ethereum as the underlying technology assets on the public chain will be trivial to exchange onto the permissioned bank ledger. Finally eliminating the fiat-crypto barrier that bitcoin suffered from

THERE'S NO STOPPING THE ETHEREUM TRAIN WOO WOO ALL ABOARD NEXT STOP THE MOON

To the moon my niggas, hope you all make wonderfull profit.

ITS A CONSPIRACY
10,000BTC buy side on polo
300,000 ETH on sell side
10,000/300,000
=0.033
Eth price confirmed to triple if all trades go through.
I don't invest in what I don't understand.
So I'm still waiting for more BTC to come through that I bought (stupid classic banking delays). When it clears should I wait for a dip in price of ETH? Is it difficult to time that type of thing?
>>1088978
Better get reading then.
>>1088979
Every dip is being bought up. There is no way to time it. Just buy asap.
>>1088969
How do you know this?
>>1088979
You should spend at least half immediately to get your foot in the door. If you want to wait for a dip for the rest, you can, but it's not advised to try to play the market in crypto. Best strategy is to hold longterm.
>>1088995
By looking at the Numbers on the screen
>>1088978
I'm not investing in ETH. I'm gambling in it.
>>1088997
I have some already and would have bought more if this other BTC had come through. I bought initially at $3.62. I'll probably just buy as soon as the BTC clears.
I put $6400 into ETH at an average price of $2.35.
I'm planning on withdrawing my original investment when the price is at $15. Is that a good idea or should I wait 'til it goes higher than that?
>>1089005
Do what you want m8 im not selling a single one for at least a year.
>>1089005
Bad idea. Literally all signs point to this going much, much higher than $15. Have some patience. No other altcoin has the combo of market share, features, and potential this has.
Newfag here. Looking to get into stocks to try to pull my ass through college. Anyone know the best place to buy stocks like this from?
>>1089015
This isn't a stock it's a cryptocurrency.
Heres an online guide how to buy
https://www.ethalert.com/ethereum-guides/how-to-buy-ethereum-a-visual-guide
>>1089015
It's not a stock and it is risky as all fuck. It could crash to 0 tomorrow due to a shitload of factors, you could get scammed by your exchange (like MtGox did with BTC) or you could just plain lose your wallet.
>>1089001
That's why you will always be poor.
>>1089020
Do I pay a comission whenever buying/selling ether?
>>1089027
Nah. Been lucky with stupid shit like this before. Made a few grand on BTC and some memestocks, and hey, I only spent 60$ on ETH so if it goes to 0, I'll be fine.
>>1089036
No. It's like selling a commodity like gold or horse sperm.
only had money to buy 5 ether, have to mine them now
but I am still going to be a millionaire, so it's alright

Has a coin ever made a volume a fraction of bitcoin?
ETH is 1/3 of bitcoin and the other day it was 1/4. This must mean something.
>>1086192
>buy etherum
>go on /biz/ and make idiotic post about buying etherum
>/biz/ buys etherum
>sell your etherum for profit
>repeat tomorrow
>>1089106
And bitcoin volume figure is mostly people using it to buy ETH.

Litecoin bagholders confirmed for suicide watch
Ripple confirmed for nipple
