Seems bullshit it's going up "because there is a fork in over a month.
Just lol.
There was a fork 1.5 month ago when the banksters fudded it and no one cared. Why do people care about it 1 month before when there is a huge update on 17 October, literally 4 days, instead?

When Homestead hit on February, it caused a crazy unprecedented bull run.

I have only one legitimate explanation for this:

Ethereum has become a shitcoin no one cares for.

Once btc is done pumping fo btc gold snapshot on the 25th all those gains will go into Ethereum since segwit2x fork is contentious meaning only one ONE will survive it can literally kill bitcoin as we know it.

ETH is over hyped garbage that doesn't do anything. At least when BTC is hyped up you can still buy shit with it.

>> No.3843182

Yeah I don't think anyone cares anymore. I bought in at $10 and I'm just letting it collect dust in my wallet and buying into other things. ETH seems valued right at $300

>> No.3843190

>>3843182

Consider this. The market fluctuated, and after 4 months the consensus was that eth is valued at $300.

Now we have new features coming into the product, and months of developer work. Surely this should add some value to the product, pushing it over $300?

>> No.3843290

OP I understand why you are mystified. Logic would dictate that ETH would be seeing a tremendous run right now, leading the market. Believe me, I love ETH, I got into it at $12 and still hold a lot long-term.

What you and everyone else in this space has to understand is that it is so nascent and new, that fundamentals don't play a big hand in speculative value of individual cryptos at this point. Everything is based on hype. Most investor value is spent chasing pumps and vaporware, I mean look at this fucking board.

Eventually, as time progresses we will see fundamentals catch up to the market, and things will have a more proper valuation.

>> No.3843298

Same. I'm just going to keep holding it because I bought in so early but I think it's safe to say the ETH hype days are over

>> No.3843352

>>3843158

Everyone who has been in crypto over a month and has half a brain knows ETH > BTC. That doesn't mean ETH will pump more than BTC. New dumb money is pouring in at every second and guess what: most of it is going to BTC, because most newfags don't even understand what a blockchain is.

While ETH will be worth more than BTC at some point in the following years, at the moment there are still a lot of gains to be made from BTC.

>> No.3843371

>>3843352
All that is fine and I agree,

but there is a fucking big iteration in 4 days.

Last one was in February.

It happens maybe once a year on average.

Ethereum is pretty well-known now.

Still, absolutely no positive trend whatsoever. It just doesn't make sense.

Sure ETH can "do more", but I don’t think BTC is valued for some kind of utility right now. BTC isn’t being bought because it is such a good currency. It clearly is being bought because it is an extremely robust store of value; meaning, there will only ever be <21M btc, irregardless of everything that can happen; meaning also, you can carry arbitrary large values with you on nothing but a piece of paper, or even in your brain if you care to learn your seed by heart. The sole reason BTC is better at this than all the other cryptos is that it was the first -- this is obvious. Its network is now the strongest. And it’s the most famous.

A blockchain revolution may or may not come to the internet; BTC will hold its value with no regards to whether anyone eventually BUILDS anything on top of its blockchain.

The two coins aren't comparable brainlet. It makes more sense to compare BTC to other currency coins like LTC or XEM. Both of which have advantages over BTC, but BTC will remain king despite it's drawbacks because it has the network and name to back it up.

That said ETH still hasn't produced anything of value.

>> No.3843515

>>3843371
There are good ideas there but they are dependent on someone doing something with the infrastructure that gives it tangible instead of speculative value. This has yet to happen.
Check out STATUS for an example of why ETH seems recursively pointless so far.

Money goes where it can get money and the money isn't flowing here at the moment. Things will settle down.
