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

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.

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.

Doge is ethers litecoin.

Doge will be the first coin to become a ethereum token. See: 'dogethereum'

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.

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:

>>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?

>>1086748
>>1086754
so I was wondering about this: if I have to exchange ETH to BTC (and vice versa) and ETH rises, but BTC falls because it becomes obsolete, doesn't this nullify the gains that I would have from my ETH?

>>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".

>>1086879

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

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

>>1086914
>>1086924

I'm not sure if I'm just retarded and missed your actual question or if you're asking a very very commonsensical question.

>>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

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..)

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.

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.

>>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.

>>1088843

Are you so sure? That story about man losing laptop full of bitcoins was a world wide coverage. I even heard about it on minor, shitty news channels.

>>1088847
As I said, Bitcoin IS mainstream. People just think it is shit and so opt out of using it.

>>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

>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.

>>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.

>>1088978

>>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.

Finance ignoramus here. Is the value of one ETH proportional to the market cap?

>>1089142
Market cap is worked out by total amount of ether multiplied by the price.

Currently nearing half a $billion

Guys, are the potential profits from investing in ether linear? Am I missing something? There is no such thing as interest that an exchange pays you for holding ether, right?

sry if dumb question

>>1089156
No. Its like holding cash in your pocket. You put it in a wallet it'll stay there forever.

best ether wallet? currently using myetherwallet

>>1089161

so it really doesn't matter wether I convince friends and family to put in 200$ each or not, right? there is no leverage potential unless i screw participants (and rob them of their profit share) ?

was thinking of buying 300$, got quite a few people to put in some money too but doing the math i realize it doesn't make a difference to the total profits per individual.

correct?

Anywhere to buy ETH via debt card yet? Or what is the easiest way to buy BTC with debt?

What's the best site/tool to use to see the most up to date ETH price? I have a TradingView chart up on my second screen but sometimes I feel like it doesn't update for a while.

>>1089167
Mist.

It's the official wallet from the people working on Ethereum. Once you start it up, it'll start downloading the entire blockchain, which takes like half a day or more, but after that, on future sessions, you'll only need to dl the blocks since your last session, which is quick.

It's safest place to put your ETH, but the current version is not quite as safe as the Homestead version will be, so I don't recommend putting more than 2/3 of your ether on it.

I want to shill on some other boards.

>>1089203

I'm curious of something. bitcoin is a deflationary currency, as there is a finite amount of coins that can be in existence. Ethereum doesn't seem to follow this same principle, and really it doesn't seem to be a currency in the traditional sense, they're tokens that are used to complete a certain unit of computation.

It seems to me, that because of this, it wouldn't be able to hit the market highs that bitcoin was able to, because if the tokens are too expensive, no real work can be done. But I have a very limited understanding of all of this. Perhaps you can share your perspective on this with me?

>>1089183
just query all the available exchanges, they all have apis for price info

here is where it is traded:

If you shill on other boards expect to get banned. Also don't make a fool of us. Dont try and shill something you don't understand or some nocoiner will stump you in an argument and no one will invest in something that looks weak.

Leave the shilling to the experts like moi

>>1089230
It is disinflationary. Trending down to an eventual sum of 220 million ETH in 200 years time.

Inside the ethereum protocol, ether is geared down using an object called 'gas' which is set by a market consensus of all the nodes. This keeps the price of computation on ethereum steady as ether price fluctuates.

Kind of like changing gears on a bicycle to go uphill.

I have my ETH at poloniex, is that bad long term? Should i make a brain/paper wallet or try and get the entire ethereum client running on my machine? or is there something obviously simple about ether wallets that im missing?

>>1089261
Yup, poloniex can close your account at any time, not safe.

As far as the most secure method? Tough call, every wallet is in beta still.

>>1089261
Make a paper wallet, make three copies of it and write the password down somewhere and then hide the three copies in three seperate locations. Then never lose your password.

Tattoo it to your daughters back like waterworld.

I'll wait till it hits 15$ and then buy in

What's the worst case scenario if I buy $1,000 worth of ether?

If it starts going down, do I lose 1k or can I wait until it's up again and sell it and make a profit?

>>1089301
It goes to 0$ and you killyourself

>>1089285
sounds like a good plan

>>1089301
Worst case, you lose 1000$
Best case, you make 1$ profit

>>1089399

Most are off work until Feb 14 or so. When the Bitcoin miners get back that'll decide what client they'll use on Bitcoin and one faction will be pissed off. I'm thinking they'll stick with Core and not hardfork because Core has been doing some pretty stupid things to convince them to stay on their client (Blockstream benefits this and most of the central Core devs work for Blockstream). Either way someone will get mad. It's unavoidable at this point.

Someone please explain what the fuck ethereum is, why it should be bought now, and how to buy it.

This is probably just a tricky biz meme
