It's the better blockchain but it's not going up at all with this new bitcoin surge. I guess it's the long game with eth.
Shouldn't Etherum be going up?

Yeah I agree BTC price is nuts but look at shapeshift.io the most popular trades are ETH>BTC so I guess people are cashing out their eth instead of holding. I wish ETH to go up myself because I prefer its underlaying technology/low transfer fees over btc but I guess hype is king!

It's pure investing right now, I guess it will start to change once people get to really use it in their lives. Bitcoin does not stand a chance currently imo against other and new technologies when it comes to usability. The transfer fees alone are way to high right now.

yeah. I think Bitcoin will keep going up until maybe a month or so from now, reaching even crazier prices. Then, the market will correct down again into the teens somewhere (maybe a bit more). A long time after that, the Bitcoin situation will get worse and worse while a few other coins get more and more popular. In the end, Bitcoin will crash as it is mostly replaced. I don't think Bitcoin Cash will be the replacement. 5 years from now, I think the two top coins will be Ethereum and Stamps.

Yah, why hold onto ETH if it's not moving, when BTC you could be earning ridiculous returns right now.

Doesn't stamps want to link with bitcoin though, not ethereum? With their dividend payments and all that

I would imagine its just FOMO and people dumping Eth into Bitcoin. I know Bitcoin is getting all the press and cash right now but if the below data from Coinbase is correct Ethereums price has gone up by almost 5000% this year where as bitcoins has gone up by 2100%. If only I had got into Crypto this time last year!

Think of them as a collectable, a cross between Pokemon and Baseball cards. To date, four of the first batch of cats have been sold for over $100,000!

Thankfully, a single example does not mean everything that comes after it will do the same. Quick and easy fix, don't put your money in...

I unloaded most BTC at $19,000. After that, I found the magic of GDAX. Now I'm day trading Litecoin and Ethereum on GDAX. Also holding some BTC with a stop order in case it crashes. The trading is fun but not easy. The problem isn't knowing what to do, it's that you can't trade fast enough because you have to click a few times just to get your position. I lost money a bunch of times just because I couldn't list fast enough.
So now I'm throwing together a little helper program that will let me quickly get in and out. I will then turn that into a bot if I can get it to be profitable on its own. We'll see. I don't think I even need to use my machine learning code. Just lots of high-frequency trading that takes advantage of upticks and recoveries.

Do you always give out money making methods?
And you know the bankers are gonna crash BTC with futures. They started buying in 6 months ago when they had development into futures.

Like I mentioned, over 20% ETH is invested on CryptoKitties, people are going nuts there. Virtual Kitties are sold for like over $20k each.
They are using metamask and the only way to load money is via ETH. The whole system is clogged up, Gas fee is increased crazily.
If you are buying 1 kitty for $20 then you will have to pay like $40 transaction just to make the payment succesfully.
Before CryptoKitties, which is launched on 28 November, 2018, ETH was processing 35 transactions per second, now it has came down to 12 only.
CryptoKitties is one thing that shows ETH is reaching its limit.
