Stay poor and mad. The price will go up for a straight month before you'll see a week where it doesn't rise.

http://youtu.be/eRDKP8nCVtU

/biz/ hates Ethereum because it's extremely complicated, and there's nothing that compares to it in finance or undergraduate economics. This triggers /biz/'s classical insecurities about their education, wall street quants, technical trading, silicon valley, and HFT all at once, and in general makes them feel stupid

Every post about ethereum on this forum is either shilling or insecurity at this point

You summed it up better than I ever could

>>1061083
I am American and I am getting rich off this too.

How about that.

$1000 --> $2000 in less than a week.

You are just mad because you were too technologically inept to work out how to buy in while it was cheap.

My problem with Ethereum is what stops bugs in the code causing massive real world problems.

And with no roll back features what's there to fix these kinds of messups that will no doubt happen when you let ANYONE program ANY contract.

What are you going to beta test the contract code you write on?

How will this even work>

>>1061118
Thats going to be the fun part. anyone will be able to do anything. Weird right?

i am watting for the moment to shortsell this fraud. enjoy losing your money losers

>>1061122
Well it adds freedom.

But I can see it, I want to pay for my bus tickets with a contract I program.

Oh shit, I bought the wrong bus ticket, now the company is dodgy and won't terminate the code.

Money is forever seeping out of my account.
Because of a coding error. There's no rollbacks.

Do I trust the bus company to write the code up?

What If I run a buisness and want to sell something? A major video game release? Woops there's a loophole in the code that no one thought of. My release flopped I just lost billions over a coding error? There's no rollbacks, no regulatory authority that I can plead to, to make it all right?


How will this actually function in the real world where we can't beta test contracts for 6 months before implementing it to buy a pizza.

Pump & Dump

>>1061142
Well, it's not even in Beta now, that's planned to be the next implementation. But I think the only way to be sure the contracts are kosher would be to read them first.

>>1061093
It's irritating. I just want to understand and be involved with the tech because I think it's cool, and here I am being stressed out about the price of tokens.

""We are currently focusing on only the very top of the architecture stack where legal prose is connected to business logic and we are effectively agnostic of the various underlying smart contract and distributed ledger technologies. There are quite a few different underlying technologies, such as Ethereum, that consortia and institutions are currently experimenting with and evaluating."

>>1061083
I agree with you its getting pumped hard and it's not smart to invest right now, but overall ethereum is a neat concept with lots of potential. I was so close to investing serious cash into it 3 months ago, but after this dump i will invest, and others should to imo.

>>1061668
$2.50 is a hard resistance. Now is the time to get in if you haven't already.

is it a good idea to pump 1000$ into ETH now?

Depends how much you have to play with.

$500 at least right now is a good idea.

God damn you are lucky. Someone accidentally sent them to the wrong address.

I think it's the inevitable future mate. More and more our industry is becoming tech orientated and industries keep replacing their workers for automatized production.

Of course I understand your fear of contracts with thousands of lines of code and the pain it would be to audit them, but this is still very beta so we should see how it progresses.

Yes, banks and regulators appear to be stuck there. On the other hand once you release your money from the friction of the creaking fiat system everything after that is frictionless plain sailing.

The only thing Ethereum is going to do is make coders fuck up far less.

If you seriously fucked up that badly that you had an infinite loop in your code, then you shouldn't be programming contracts in the first place.

Coders are just going to learn not to fuck up and to think about the concepts of what they code before they release it.

Think about the big corporations that are going to lose money, if and when, they go about using Ethereum to try and cut out third parties. Think about all of the scams that people are going to pull, and guess who will take the brunt of it all? The coder who designed the dapp/contract. Ethereum are going to turn a swath of code monkeys into underpaid bootlicking code monkeys.

Ethereum/whatever succeeds is going to make coding a low-paying blue collar job for the next generation.

You're going to have a conversation with your grandson about how he can't decide on the military, a coding job, or a hyperloop train mechanic.

Dont sell your ETH because its going down because of the Kraken maintenance, tomorrow it will rise again and we will all be fine.
ETH isnt a pump and dump, give it a while to get going.
Its going to take a while for ETH to rise but a crypto currency that gets shilled on /biz/, reddit, several websites and youtube channels and gets a place into Microshill Azure isnt going to go down just like that.

Give it time, we got the Brutus of BTC in our hands.
Days from now you're going to be wishing you bought double.

I want to buy in because i know it will go up in value because a lot will invest. I do not think it will actually work of course. but if I Invest wait for it to go up then want to sell for real cash how would i do that? What could you even buy with this currency if you couldn't get back real cash. That is the main reason i am wary of investing in this.

You pretty much just outlined the reasons why it's a pump and dump. Microsoft is, again, going to be taken for a ride. The poor schmucks will never learn.

They're just supporting it because they believe that it could be the future for coding. But they don't realize that their cloud computing platform is going to get royally fucked whenever the MAID system and Storj comes online along with Eth just being one giant bubble concocted by some Russian who had the bright idea to conjoin a coding language and a cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is very useful, to make more BTC as you dump it on dumb casuals.
I can't wait for sidechains to get rid of all the memecoins.

>inb4 vaporware copers

I look at the candlestick charts of ETH/XBT and see a shadow dump every day of a large volume of ETH. It averages out to 15%-20% drop in ETH/XBT every day someone does this dump, but the market recovers.

What does this mean? Who does large dumps almost on a daily basis?
