I have couple of ethereum holders as friend and right now they are in worries about the upcoming hardfork ,well this is my opinion
-the upcoming hardfork is just an upgrade ,don't expect extra coins for holding ETH
-its ethereum damn it, If you are thinking it might lose value after the upgrade you are wrong ,I don't say its impossible but of all coins out there ETH stands out ,its no shit coin and remember the dev is a smart guy ,he knows what's best ,either it goes POS or not ETH is still a champ
Don't dump or live to regret it.
I always hope Ethereum's growth will be better than now ... and I am also sure that Ethereum is a tough coin and has development all the time ... don't ever hesitate to use ethereum ... and don't panic if the hardfork time has arrived ... and I'm sure after the upgrade is done, ethereum will get better ...
I think people need to accept bitcoin for what it is now, I mean utility coin, and not expecting to be holding it as an investment coin. Ethereum has only one product and right now, the product is not really having it well, so I think we better just be using it as payment tool to send and receive money since it has a cheap transaction fee, and it also have a reliable and a stable coin.
If you picture it the way I do picture Ethereum, I think it is even better the way it is not having much of volatility because people can rely on it to make heavy payment and even salaries since it does not fluctuate like every other coins in the market. Binance is already taking over chain that usually announces them, and we also have other projects too that are already competing in this area.
