Convince me to buy this coin, whats so special about it? i was really into the whole altcoin scene and decided to quit early 2014 after cashing out my doge and btc, seen more shitcoins that never took off then i can count, and it seems this one already somewhat took off, why buy it now?

why do you think ETH will keep going up and not crash like every other pump and dump i've seen?
>>
>>1052405
>why do you think ETH will keep going up and not crash like every other pump and dump i've seen?
Because people are shilling hard for ETH on this board. Don't you know about the magic power of 4chan shillers?
>>
>>1052409
well aware, so its just another pumpNdump..?
>>
>>1052517
Hardly mate. You think they would go to this much effort (worldwide developer conventions, huge fintech ecosystem program) just for a pump and dump?

VB and GW and ST and all the other devs put their names and faces to this platform. You think they're going to ruin their own careers by pumping and dumping?
>>
>>1052859
It's only a pump and dump by speculators. There is no doubt in my mind that the devs take ETH seriously, however, that means dick as far as the actual price is concerned. Look at Ripple for example. They have way more of a powerhouse in terms of banking connections, Google sponsorship, Ripple Labs employees from various Fortune 500, banks and federal reserves. They are also the closest technology wise with the creation of Codius and smart contracts. Yet the price of Ripple has remained pretty stable and low. I would say ETH has about a year or less until the value drops and levels off like Ripple did.
>>
>>1052875
Difference is, ripple is shitware and is now closed.

Comparing Ethereum and ripple is just... Idk man i can only lead a horse to water, i cannot make it drink.
>>
>>1052885
>Ethereum is shitware and closed.

See? I can do make baseless statements not grounded in fact too. How do you figure its closed?
>>
>>1052891
I heard that it was nearly impossible to get money in to ripple these days after they got fined for money laundering.
>>
>>1052937
Nope. Just have to verify the wallet. Takes about 15 minutes.
>>
>>1052937
Also, they didn't get fined for money laundering, They got fined for not putting preventative measures and failing to report suspicious activity of XRP buyers. In other words, they got fined because some people that bought Ripple might have used it for money laundering (the same could be said about any crypto, including Bitcoin)

How did you make a million dollars?

If the chart here is to be believe, say you bought at the lowest price of $0.42 on Oct 21 of last year, and sold today at $1.52, you would have had to invest $276,000.

That's an enormous return by all means, but that's only a 3.6x times increase. Nothing like the ridiculous returns on Bitcoin in the first few years to the peak.

How much did you invest, and when did you buy, OP?

This whole Ethereum thing reminds me of Doge coin, which is why this board was created in the first place, to get us all out of /g/.

A couple people mine the hell out of it when it first gets created (usually the creator), then shill it extremely hard until it's value doubles, then the creator dumps everything and watches it crash.

This whole minor "coin" infrastructure is just a anonymous decentralized pump and dump scheme, that has worked way too many times.

All it takes it the knowledge of how to create a coin, some server space, and a couple friends to camp a couple websites.

Makes me wish I had created a coin 3 years ago when I had the idea.
>>
>>1053281

I only used /g/ because of doge. That was an absolute waste of time. People were giving it away by the shitload.

Ethereum is kind of different. It's not an anonymous pump and dump coin.

It debuted at like 30 cents

So you invested a quarter million to begin with?

Not at the beginning, I had at one point $7000 worth of it. Then I gambled a lot of it away, and the rest of it is still on hard drive somewhere.

How much do you need to purchase to get Proof of Stake?

I didn't invest because stake coins only return for people who put lots of money into them. In short, it shafts everyone but the fat cats who invested early and that's a crap way of doing things.

You can stake in a pool. I think you're prejudging because we have no working example of POS coin because they are all shitcoins.

It isn't strictly meant to be currency. It's designed to be more like equity in the public Ethereum network. It is just as much of a token that can be used as a currency as bitcoin, though.

Correct. However, that could change fairly quickly if people realize that Ethereum is the superior network and the successor to bitcoin

The same was said about so many things, that "soon people will realize the potential and this will become the future of money!". Until anything happens is there a point of even believing in this bullshit or is it all just a ploy?
>>
>>1057051
I have no idea. Probably not because i'm not selling any until it gets into triple figures
>>
>>1057052
Well, that's the thing. Ethereum doesn't need to act as a currency for its token, Ether, to become valuable. Ethereum is basically designed to be a network for smart contracts or "cryptolaw" in comparison to "cryptofinance". It is broader and can be used for keeping track of basically anything.

Personally, I think Bitcoin needs to overcome a massive hurdle which is the fact that it's still tiny in comparison to traditional currencies and thus, has enormous volatility. You could create a token on the Ethereum network that is tied to dollars, a basket of goods or whatever else that would be way more stable than Bitcoin and still have the ability to transfer it over the internet seamlessly.

It is still very early days, but the technology holds way more promise. Satoshi, the founder of Bitcoin, has already crowned the heir in my mind. He's working on an Ethereum app.
>>
>>1057058
>He cannot respond what Ethereum can be used to purchase

Lol
>>
>>1057052
How much convincing do you need? Why not buy $100 worth? Worst case scenario you lose $100 best case scenario $100 turns into $200,000

Ive personally met people who bought 5000 BTC for $2000 and then sold when btc was $260 it was 2 friends, they shared a house in london together, then one bought a flat on manhattan another bought a house in london because they became multimillionaires.
>>
It's kind of funny to name this ether.

Ether.... as in... the mythical substance some thought was valuable but ended up not existing.
>>
>>1057045
>successor to Bitcoin
Bitcoin wasn't even able to reach mainstream adoption. If that's your bar you're shooting pretty low. I doubt Ethereum will even reach a fraction of Bitcoins userbase though. It's just hard to re-hype something after it has climaxed. If it was easy, then beanie babies would be making a comeback right now.
>>

Wait, not 5000 bitcoins i think he said he spent £5000 on bitcoins and then bought his friend some for his birthday as a joke. Anyway i think they made over ten million pounds and retired from futures trading.

In ancient Tibet, salt was used as currency. So how about this... I'll give you a pound of salt, you give me a pound of gold.

Successor technologies tend to be better and surpass their predecessors. Ethereum is the full realization of Nick Szabo's smart contract platform. Bitcoin was just the first experiment.

I like money, but I thought we were talking about ethereum.

Your position is that this stuff has "value" like a currency because...

1. People say it does.
2. Some people are willing to spend real money on it.
3. No one will be able to crack the encryption.

I say it has no value at all. I say it will fail like bitcoin failed, and that the only people interested in it at all are the same neuvo-hippies who think that they want to take on "the man" and actually have a chance to change the world into their drug-induced anarchist utopia.

This isn't my first rodeo. I suspect it is yours.

2. Some people are willing to spend real money on it.
3. No one will be able to [create it in the lab].

>Umm no its worth nearly $400 you fucking stupid cunt.

And then there were people like you saying "Bitcoin will be worthless in 2014" and low and behold it's currently worth $300++ a piece.
>>
>>1057140

I agree. Gold is simply a modern version of the Rai stone.

But it is, for better or worse, a universal standard of currency because, again... people agree that it is.

But... it has been for thousands of years. Coming along these day and trying to create your own standard of wealth just doesn't work for complex reasons that most pro-crypto's wouldn't understand.
>>
>>1057144
Not really. It hasn't made any progress in more than 2 years. Still the same users. Still the same transaction volume.
>>
>>1057145
Its been reported on in the media since 2013 thats 2.5 years
>>
>>1057154
So because it wasn't noticed by media for 4 years that proves how useful it is? The date that it started being picked up by news publications doesn't negate that it was created 7 years ago. PayPal blew up within a year that it went online.

Aside from the humor of the people rabidly in favor of this joke, there is also the fact that there is an amazing number of competing "currency"

So on this site we have the people shilling Ethereum. I can only imagine that on other sides are people shilling LiteCoin, Dodecoin, Peercoin, or any of the other dozen choices.

And yet... they all measure their values in dollars. Which should tell you something.

The ability of people toward self delusion is amazing some time.

Seeing the real money people are wasting on this crap, I might have to figure out a way to profit when the inevitable collapse comes.

Well if it's computer processing you want, I have a deal for you...

This gem has a full 2MB of ram, a 20MHz processor, and built in network operating software.

Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll knock it down to $7500 for you.

You know you can trust this, because investing in computer processing futures is such a smart idea. Computers aren't going to get any faster or cheaper, so you can't lose.

This is a site which attempts to explain the "value" of Ethereum.

https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/05/24/the-business-imperative-behind-the-ethereum-vision/

After a little over 37 years in the computer business, I can tell you with confidence that this is unmitigated bullshit.

It attempts to bury a lack of fact in a bunch of meaningless large words; its computer theories are inaccurate, and if you're investing real money in it, you're a fool.

Additionally, the attached image comes directly from the mother ship. As it points out, what you're buying is the equivalent computing capacity of a 1990's cell phone. Well worth the money, I'm sure.

>I don't want a link to someone's long drawn out article filled with technical jargon. Eli5 in simple terms

We've been over this already.

They can't. THey can only link to articles/papers/whatever done by people smarter than them. No one can explain it in practical terms that are understandable. They need to hide behind buzzwords and some fancy jargon to appear smart and make people believe it has a future.

Kind of like those scammer oil change places/mechanics who make up that your "carbulator-filter is busted and is dripping purple fluid when it should be grey and your toohicky-majig busted its valve, I can fix it but it will take some time and the replacement parts are $15000" to trick soccermoms into believing it.

It works exceptionally well with cryptocurrencies because you can create a false sense of urgency since everyone remembers bitcoin and missing out on that right? You don't want to be left behind do you? Buy our shitcoin!

Gold has value because:

1. It has a historical record of being used as currency
2. High net-worth individuals use it to hedge against inflation

Are you literally retarded? This isn't /biz/,, It's /coin/
>>
>>1057265
>>1057266

Let me try to explain what they are trying to claim...

1. "Ethereum" is computer processing time on a muti-processor network. Several computers working on a single "busines logic" = comutation.

2. "Ether", the currency, is the equivalent of buying computer time on this network.

3. The "sell" is that it's a secure transaction, and encrypted in a way that the computer doing the work can't steal the information being worked on.

4. The supposed "value" comes from the fact that they claim it's cheaper than large companies that sell cloud computing.

The reason it's a house of cards is this...

5. The actual processing power you are buying is very low.

6. The idea of distributed processing makes very little economic sense in the real world.

7. Since computers always get faster and cheaper, the actual (processing) power of the computer time you buy will decline over time.

8. Trying to convert computer processing into cash is like trying to trade oranges for pencils. Each has their own value, but not necessarily together.

8. Essentially, it is a modern version of the way computers used to work, where multiple people attempt to share computer time.

>>
>>1057281

And it works especially well because when people don't understand the technical terms being thrown around, they assume it has "value", and are therefore more willing to pay for it.

Like in this case, these "ether" trades are, at its root, simply buying computer time.

The actual underlying computer time has little to no value. But since people don't know that, they think they're spending money on something real. This creates a false demand and a bubble.

In the end, when people attempt to "spend" their ethers (on computer time), they will discover that they bought another beanie baby

Do you always base your opinions on how smart someone appears to be? There was a lot of smart people in Enron, Bear Stearns, Arthur Anderson, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, etc. Most of these executives had PhDs and MBAs in business and finance. Bernie Madoff was brilliant. Would you have invested money with him because he was clearly very intelligent? I don't think "they sound smart and I don't understand enough to disprove them" is such a good investment strategy. I could be off base here.

"Scam" was probably an improper word to use, and I suppose I'll take it back.

The word "Scam" implies that there is an organized and intentional attempt to defraud.

From my perspective - even if Ether is the dud that you think it is - with the imminent release of Homestead and the current momentum it has - I think it's gonna keep rising in value for a decent amount of time before it falls.

And I intend to stay along for the ride. I only have $200 in it - not my life savings - and we'll see where it goes.

Lol. Last time I checked, I wasn't the one getting BTFO. I'm not the one trying to hide behind vagaries and pipe dreams.

Everyone on this board is willing to discuss the specifics of Ethereum, but I seem to be the only one actually presenting real fact about it.

Your turn.
>>
>>1057346

It's going to depend on how broadly it expands.

For example, there is only a fixed number of people who are interested in crypto currencies. (like the chart I posted earlier).

This fixed number of people will go with one or the other. And, as far as the performance of one compared with the other, there will be relative "value".

But it is a dangerous game because we've already had some well know collapses before.

I don't think there's a chance that it's going to get main-stream mania, but... if you want a general idea of how it might play out, research the time the hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market.
>>
>>1057347
>And if I lose all my money then I learn a valuable - but not life ruining - lesson about buying into hype.

You know you can learn from other people's mistakes instead of your own right?

Literally look in the archives for all the PND, doge, DRKCOIN threads, etc. Look at all the signs leading up to it, look at the shill posts, look at the language they used, the emotion they tried to create, all before it came crashing down with not a single word from any of them ever again.

It is deja-vu, feels exactly as Ethereum currently.

I believe Poloniex also supports just buying with USD but not sure how it works.

I can afford to lose everything because this is my crypto "gambling" money.

I made around 400€ by buying ETH with leverage during the pump but lost it again because I got greedy.

convert all your BTC into ETH then hold. then do as much reading about ethereum as possible. by the time you finish learning about distributed applications you will have no desire to sell until moon. good luck

Thanks, ended up doing this

i'm thinking of buying around $500 worth of eth. i haven't been following this stuff at all though, can someone tell me what I should be looking to pay for it? do i buy now at $2.00 or wait for it to go down again?

what's the easiest way to buy ethereum in australia?

Another ausfag here.
I ended up buying btc through https://localbitcoins.com/ and meeting up with cash. Then deposited it into Kraken and bought with btc
>>
Should i be alright just leaving my ETH on an exchange? Kraken seems pretty trustworthy

I'm not saying that ETH will not get higher but if you are willing to day trade now is the time step out and buy in later.

Say it goes to $6, there's no way to know. It may never get this cheap ever again. Especially if it hits a chinese exchange


>mfw chinese people haven't even got a look in yet.

crazy volume, Im pretty comfortable with the rising volume and price, but it isn't sustainable, there should be some setback soon - on the other side it is crypto

OPs does poloniex have a deposit limit or can put any amount ?

I just bought almost 750 Ethereum guys!!!

When is this stuff expected to go up? At what price are we all selling go get out safely?
>>
>>1057874
You might as well sell now with that attitude. You don't seem to understand the potential of the ethereum project. Leave your coins alone and go research. There's a reason why people say $20/ETH is undervalued still.
>>
What is the LTC to the ETH what LTC was for BTC?

Pretty sure someone is gonna copy ETH.
>>
>>1057913
Theres a clone of ETH called EXP.

Will never be as useful because it uses same hashing algo as ETH and has way lower marketcap and hash power, ETH could destroy EXP if it wanted to.
>>
>>1057903
I just want to know when we will all sell so I don't miss out.
>>
>>1057920
Im only ever going to say hold your coins.

I dont intend to sell a single Wei until the price is >$100
>>
why does it fluctuate between $2.20 and $1.60 on kraken? is this normal?
>>
>>1057928
Your loss. I'll sell at like ~$5.

Better to double your money than risk the pump n dump ending too soon and missing your chance to sell.

Afrerall Ethereum IS a scam but we just need to sell it in time as /biz/nessmen. Just like we did with PND, all of /biz/ dumped it at the peak of before it came crashing down.
>>
>>1057933
You're looking at the extremely illiquid US$ - ETH market i expect. You should be looking at the btc - eth cross
>>1057936
Speak for yourself I've not sold a single ETH the entire time. Waiting another year or 2 is no problem for me.

This story sound familiar to you? :
>yeah i had 2000BTC, sold them all when it got to $10 i had no idea it was going up to $1000 should have held onto my coins i'd be a millionaire now

Yeah thats you in 2 years time.
>>
>>1057942
A more common story is -
>I bought some shit altcoin, it went up 400% I didn't sell it when I had the chance and kept holding it eventually it crashed with no survivors so I went from guaranteed few thousand profit to nothing.

Anyway when should I sell? It's hard to predict when this malnourished autist plans on dumping.

can someone explain why the price rose so dramatically the past few days?

Yes, thousands of developers and startups building on Ethereum are going to disappear like *poof* because the price of ETH dropped a little bit. I want what you're smoking.

A quick question. I started mining on the testnet and tried to exchange the ether. Aren't these "real" ethers or why can't I seem to be able to withdraw them?
>>
>>1058023
Because they're not real ethers because you're mining on a testnet.
>>
>>1057265
very well said
>>
>>1058031
Ok thanks :D are the ones on the "main network" real?
>>
>>1058035
No they are fake too. You can send those ones to the foundation address they'll be disposed of safely.
>>
Different question: how do I sell these?
>>
>>1058051
Just sold mine too. Getting the hell it before the dump tomorrow lol. Made 200% ROI so can't be mad. Would suggest others do the same. You don't want to get stuck bagholding like what happened with Bitcoin.
>>
>>1058050
Then what's the fucking point in having 2 networks ?
>>
>>1058056
no I haven't even bought them but I was wondering were you sell them

I want to know this as well, I just bought about 1 bitcoin to partly turn into ETH but I dont know how mining works.
>>
>>1058131
go here: https://shapeshift .io/# and choose Btc on the left and ether on the right.
In the return adress left you insert your btc adress and on the ight you insert: 0xaa7b131dc60b80d3cf5e59b5a21a666aa039c951 (will return ether to your adress).
Then click start and withdraw to the deposit adress via blockchain or whatever wallet you use. You're welcome

so i download an ether wallet, and gether and start mining. Eventually i get ether.

so how do i trade ether for money?
>>
>>1058150
by exchanging it to btc. on shapeshift and then converting btc to $
>>
>>1058151
yeah. im sure theres another way to do it than the creepy site.
>>
>>1058163
dude. Use fucking google. The side was just an example. With a decent graka you can maybe get 1eth per day and if you're even too stupid to goole what I told you you should maybe start another hobby as you will sure lose your money
