Ethereum has many problems that must be solved from scalability problems and others, many competitors Ethereum are currently challenging Ethereum and intend to pass it.

But we know that Vitalik Buterin won't let that happen, Ethereum has improved itself and the biggest hope is the Ethereum 2.0 project that will have a big impact. In 2017 the price of Ethereum peaked because the public's enthusiasm for cryptocurrency  in the following year Ethereum must prove that the Ethereum network is still the best.

I think the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum is very cheap now. Analysts have given their opinion that the price of Bitcoin can fall in the price of $ 3000 and Ethereum falls in the price of double digits, and I think it has happened now.

You better buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum with half or a third of your capital, wait a while and keep looking for relevant information about the future of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Try to get the cheapest price before the price rises again.

Such is the world of cryptocurrency, everything we do must be based on knowledge, experience and confidence. If you do something based on panic and high expectations, you will regret if it is not what you want. In 2017 many coin prices peaked influenced by strong fundamentals with good news and high interest in Bitcoin. This year is a little different because there are many people who are familiar with cryptocurrency so you need a different strategy.

We must be wiser by reading and asking a lot, hope is always there even though the market is a real reality.

Many topics discuss a lot about the future of Ethereum and some compare with various kinds of coins such as XRP, EOS.

I think the future of Ethereum is very dependent on the Ethereum 2.0 project, specifically Proof-of-stake, Sharding and eWASM. If this project runs smoothly, I think competitors Ethereum will be difficult to match Ethereum, and automatically the price of Ethereum will return to peak.

I still believe in Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin as one of the influential youth in the world of economy and technology.

Ethereum is being hit with a lot of issues. The developer of Bitcoin Core, Jeremy Rubin, he concluded that Ethereum had no future due to a variety of major issues, like insufficient scalability or powerful competitors. Also, Rubin was sure that the value of Ethereum would soon drop, because decentralized apps would soon start seeking new ways of creating their platforms, avoiding Ethereum blockchain protocol.

Vitalik Buterin replied that regarding the issue the prospect is still quite promising. Buterin also claims that ETH has all the opportunities to develop in the future if it continues to grow, develop and develop.
And currently developing Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum "new" will integrate three main concepts:

- Sharding
- PoS (proof of stock)
- eWASM

Developers and researchers work hard to make everything work properly and, hopefully, they will succeed and bring new life to Ethereum.

Bitcoin is the king of the cryptocurrency world with a market share of more than 50%. That already explains that the role of Bitcoin is very important.
there are some speculations that can be the learning material that I quoted from https://cryptocurrencyfacts.com/2017/10/19/why-do-altcoin-prices-often-follow-bitcoin/

Speculative Theories on Why AltCoins Follow Bitcoins Price :


- It could be that all prices are based on Bitcoin as a gold standard because the market is young and that the days of “follow the BTC price” are going to end soon.
- One could speculate that given these events, true democratic free market psychology in a speculative market apparently behave very much like a herd. Way more than I would have expected.
- Perhaps, people are so nervous about the bottom falling out of coins that any change to BTC causes a panic when the price declines, but any spike causes everyone to rush to Bitcoin (especially when forks are on the horizon).
- Perhaps, someone(s) is meddling with the markets (for example by spoofing all major coins on major exchanges). This might possibly cause all the coins to fall in line and would explain why they are often in-line, but not always. I’ve seen the markets being spoofed, but it is unclear how much of the movement is natural and how much is spoofing.

Perhaps there is a magic leprechaun who lives inside the blockchain orchestrating everything. I’m not sure, which is why this page is speculation and theory and not hard fact.

Yes, it is true. Market conditions that make altcoin prices fall especially Bitcoin and Ethereum make ICO run poorly. Some fail and scam or some extend the ICO time. If the ICO is successfully done you can see on RoadMap to find out the estimated time to release coins in the exchange.

It usually takes between 2/3/6 months and even a year according to the team's strategy. Or you can ask more clearly in the telegram group to get an answer.

If the price of Ethereum can go down to $ 70 it's a good opportunity to buy Ethereum in large quantities.
At present the price of Ethereum continues to fall in the price range of $ 108. Vitalik Buterin has announced the Ethereum 2.0 project it's good news to push Ethereum to a higher price. We all hope that the project being worked on by the Ethereum team runs smoothly and on time, if there are problems and obstacles, i think the price of Ethereum can fall again.

I think Ripple was a star in 2018, the previous year Ripple failed to shine compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.

And now the Ripple price continues to stabilize even though the price of Bitcoin has fallen to the present. Ripple can replace Ethereum's position in Coinmarketcap  and shift Ethereum to the third position.  I think Ripple prices will continue to rise until the end of this year.

If you want to invest, buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple is the right choice in my opinion

Bitcoin can be replaced from the first position, that is something that might happen. Today many coins are starting to crawl up like Ripple who replaced Ethereum in second place, the question is when did that happen? maybe no one can answer with certainty.

Basically the altcoin price follows the current Bitcoin price, when Bitcoin rise, it is likely that the altcoin will rise, and if the price of Bitcoin decline, the altcoin price will fall. Judging from the market share of Bitcoin which still dominates around 53%, Bitcoin will remain king at least for the next decade.

Ripple and Ethereum both use blockchain technology with different sector targets. However, when it comes to comparing the actual performance of both, Ripple is definitely a better blockchain. Not only are XRP transactions faster and cheaper, but they can scale more than Ethereum.

However, it would be very interesting to see the results of Ethereum's step to 'Proof-of-Stake', as well as their 'Sharding' and 'Plasma' enhancements. Who knows, maybe it will look better than Ripple in the future!

So don't worry if Ripple outperforms Ethereum in current market share, because in reality they are not competing in the same sector.

You have to read a lot about Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, Ethereum and some coins in the top 10 from Coinmarketcap.com
In addition, you must also understand the characteristics of cryptocurrency with risks and benefits that can minimize losses and maximize profits. Do not let you panic sell when you see falling prices or immediately buy when prices rise.

Even so, I suggest that you monitor the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum because they are valuable now to start investing.

Ethereum is still far from perfect, there are some disadvantages: scalability, inflation and others. And at the beginning of November , good news from the Ethereum team made an official statement about the release of Ethereum 2.0.

If the project can run smoothly and on time I think the price of Ethereum will peak again in 2019. Because many experts provide the results of their analysis based on historical data, they believe Ethereum can reach $ 1,900 by 2019.

I think the worst thing that will happen is that Bitcoin will fall to the price of $ 1000 or it will stay at $ 3000 until mid-December.

The thing I'm waiting for is good news about Bitcoin because if there is a lot of good news until the end of the year Bullrun is certain to start happening even though the price isn't up to $ 12,000 hopefully it can reach $ 10,000 in this year, otherwise we have to be patient for a few more months.

I currently hold 3 altcoins which I am waiting for the price increase. the first is Ethereum I have collected several Ethereum this year, even I bought Ethereum when the price dropped but as we know now the price of Ethereum is falling and I have no choice but hodl and I think the Ethereum 2.0 project will have a positive effect on Ethereum.

The second coin is CAS (Cashaa) and the third is Ubcoin. The two coins are currently rising prices with clear products and experienced teams I think are both potential coins to get a lot of profits.

The current situation I think almost everyone recommends investing in Bitcoin. Because at this time the price of Bitcoin is falling so that the potential to get profits is very high and the altcoin price will usually follow the price of Bitcoin.

If you want to invest in altcoin you should do in-depth research because many altcoins end up scam due to several factors, Ethereum is also not a bad choice even though many are turning to Ripple.

What caused the collapse?
Just think about it, less than 24 hours ago, it was possible to sell the BTC on a thousand dollar higher. Probably, it is impossible to define why “the foundation was cracked” under the cryptocurrency, as for the example it can be done in a regular market. In the digital, the effect is first  seen and only than the reason becomes known.

Reason #1: Contagious effect
Reason #2 : Direct correlation
Reason #3: Global Bitcoin influence

What should do the owners of cryptocurrency: sell or wait?
It depends on the inner aspects of each owner. Even when the course is rising – it still have cycles of fall.

This is a good article to understand what is happening.

If Bullrun doesn't happen at the end of this year, I just hope that Bitcoin can remain stable at a price of $ 6400 - $ 7500. If the price of Bitcoin returns to dump I don't understand what to say, maybe a lot of investors are disappointed and people start not crying with cryptocurrency and things will get worse.

Maybe I am overdoing but we still hope that it doesn't happen because Bitcoin has just entered a new phase, we need a temporary adjustment.

That's right, a bad scheme if bitcoin rises and the altcoin falls in price.

Bitcoin only needs fundamental issues to raise a positive trend and naturally many investors who invest their dollars become Bitcoin and the market conditions will return to excitement. I think the price of Bitcoin has remained steady around $ 6400 because everyone is waiting for ETF decisions and other positive news.
