Should I buy Ethereum before or after the hardfork? I'm not quite sure how this event will affect the price.
Bump. Nothing I've searched for on the internet has given me a straight forward answer.

Everyone will be refunded who lost on the DAO and they'll dump it immediately
because they're afraid everyone will dump and drive the market lower.
Simple psychology.
Ethereum has already reflected the hard fork in its price. A lot of people sold their DAO at a loss and then bailed out.
Given that if eth doesn't get dumped with still can play with the uncertainty that the hard fork is and I think it is going to go at least a little bit down in the correct moment.

Price will be rising both before and after the hard fork.
Everyone already knows it's happening so it has already been factored into the current price.
News of the hardfork will trigger a "fear of missing out" and the price will climb higher steadily. Over the long term we can expect a 10,000% increase. Buy now and hold for 30 years, you will have enough to retire and live lavishly.
buy the dip.
Etherium is a fucking mess

As messy as Ethereum has been, I still believe in its potential. I feel the same way with Lisk.

>Price will be rising always. There is nothing but rising price, and riches to be had.
Spoken like a true, lying, scamming chill.
Eth has potential and is currently being used in some experimental stuff. On top of that is the second most traded crypto right now after bitcoin.
The market needs at least 2 volatile coins and I think that bitcoin and ethereum will be those.
Literally no one fucking knows. This was the same with Bitcoin halving. Hardly saw any shills talking about how it would increase 30%, but it did. In fact, no one I knew saw it and most were saying bitcoin was doomed.
So what I do is just do the opposite of what the shills on here say and I end up profiting.

So, buy now, or buy on late in the day on the 20th or 21st?
JUST FUCKING BUY IT RIGHT NOW YOU RETARD
CLEARLY THIS SITUATION IS BEING INTERPRETED AS """NEGATIVE""" BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION
BE STRONG WHEN OTHERS ARE WEAK
I say it's going to dump hard.

Anyone who wanted to sell already sold. You can trade your daos for 10¢ on the exchange, once the hard fork happens and you swap 1eth for 100 dao your looking at 11¢ a dao. This will be not change the price at all.
The most damaging thing to ethereum from the Dao hack apart from the big asterisk next to its "code is the law immune from 3rd party intervention" premise is how it exposed the community as a whole as being less informed about basic concepts and mechanics than would be assumed for the dollar amount of the ico. It also of course exposed many figureheads and people of influence as less than trustworthy to put it lightly. The whole "Normies will like us more now because we work out our problems" spin by coinbase and others is cringeworthy and desperate. It's pretty gross to see so many people with just an overall low level of understanding about what drives value. It appears to me that while eth may have rallies as it goes into the hard fork (if shorts are getting squeezed) but market action won't reflect the fundamental value of ethereum (which in any scenario is basically feathercoin now), it will reflect uncertainty and technicals. We are on the long road to zero.
Bitcoin has value because of its security.
Eth is already overinflated and not unique or robust enough to survive long run when something like Lisk can raise tens of millions after being made in less than three weeks. Lisk using JavaScript doesn't bode well either.
Btc is the only crypto worth holding
