Finally Ethereum Overcomes the Value of $ 100, we don't know whether this increase is temporary or indicates long-term growth. According to the Coingecko Bitcoin (BTC) platform added 7.7%; Bitcoin Cash added 26.34% over the past 24 hours and costs $ 114 per coin; Ethereum has added 8.99%;

If this increase continues and becomes an uptrend I think the price of Bitcoin can return to $ 5000.

There is a considerable distance when comparing the prices of Ethereum and Bitcoin at this time, where the price of Ethereum tends to fall continuously and even though the price of Bitcoin remains stable. Many issues hit Ethereum and competitors who began to dare to challenge Ethereum is one of the factors why this price decline continues to occur. But I am optimistic that the price of Ethereum will rise again in the beginning of January 2019 and the peak will occur in May.

XRP has a good price increase in 2018. On average the coin has decreased in price, but Ripple can rise and replace Ethereum's position in coinmarketcap in terms of market share.
With the amount of collaboration Ripple has with several banks and major activities, I think Ripple's prices will continue to grow until the end of the year.

At the moment the price of all coins rises, I think this is only temporary after the correction has occurred. Even so, I'm sure at the end of December Ethereum prices will go up again because of the ongoing Ethereum 2.0 project. With features : Proof of stake ("Casper"), Scalability ("sharding"), Virtual Machine Improvements (EWASM), Improvements to cross-contract logic , Improvements to protocol economics.

Sooner or later the price of Ethereum will peak again as the project progresses.

Down trend still continues until now, we don't know when prices will go up. I bought several Ethereum in mid-November and hoped prices would rise when entering the beginning of December, but in reality prices fell again because ETF decisions were postponed until February 2019 and it was disappointing because almost every day we have not found positive news about the fate of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I am currently waiting and patient until the end of December and after that I will determine whether I will buy back some coins or keep hodl.

Constantinople could help reverse the downward trend. Improving functionality will in the short-term keep users on the network, rather than moving onto rival platforms. Laying the foundations for major updates, the Caspar protocol, as well as scalability infrastructure, will show the community Ethereum is improving and addressing current pain points.

I strongly believe that this project will give a new life to Ethereum.

Ethereum has many supporters from many large companies, a strong foundation and a very popular Ethereum network. Many issues faced by Ethereum from the problem of scalability, Ethereum competitors who dare to challenge and it works to make the price of Ethereum fall.

I think it's only a matter of time until Ethereum answers it, the ongoing Ethereum 2.0 project is expected to have a good impact and Ethereum starts a new life.

We are just waiting for good news about Ethereum, so prices will rise. Many bear companies that support Ethereum and the famous Ethereum network have used many ICO projects.

Last year the price of Ethereum peaked because of the great enthusiasm of the people. Now Ethereum must prove that they deserve to be in the second position in the coinmarketap.

Let's wait for the Proof-of-stake, Sharding and eWASM combination in the Ethereum 2.0 project run smoothly.

Ethereum there are still many shortcomings that they must complete. Many Ethereum competitors are starting to climb up and we see Ethereum falling.

I don't want to draw more conclusions, Ethereum still has a bright future if the team succeeds in implementing the Ethereum 2.0 project.

We wait until mid-2019 and we can see who will remain in the top position of the coinmarketcap

It is very difficult to do such calculations, it all depends on how hard you work, choose the right bounty program and comply with existing regulations.
This year is very different from last year, everything sometimes ends without results, and you have to be patient more.
The things I learned from this forum are: the more you study + the more you work = the more money you make

The price of Ethereum is also very cheap now, and is very valuable to buy. Bitcoin and Ethereum I think they are both coins that have the potential to rise after this difficult period ends.
Vitalik has released the Ethereum 2.0 project and is an opportunity for the price Ethereum will rise again and live a new life. Because there will be a lot of updates for Ethereum that will cover all the shortcomings.

I think this is a valuable opportunity to invest in any altcoin especially Bitcoin and Ethereum.

After the ETF decision is delayed, the price of Bitcoin is still hanging at a price of $ 3400, if only the decision is accepted I think the price of Bitcoin will start to improve and even Bullrun will occur.
The delay is expected until February 2019 and I hope the Bitcoin ETF can be accepted and end this difficult period, https://ethereumworldnews.com/why-a-bitcoin-btc-etf-might-be-approved-in-february-2019/

Now Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency need good news to attract investors and rebuild public trust.

I am waiting for good news about Bitcoin and Ethereum because I want to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum at the lowest price. Many predictions say the price of Bitcoin will touch the price of $ 3000 and Ethereum $ 70- $ 80 I think that price is very valuable to start investing.

I hope that by the end of December the cryptocurrency price will start to improve, so we will start the new year happily.

Ripple prices are more stable now than Bitcoin and Ethereum, however Ripple has experienced a number of increases if you look at the chart. But I think if the price of Bitcoin rises then the price of Ripple will follow up, so if you want to buy Ripple it's not a bad choice right now.

Read this article, very interesting if it's Ripple More Decentralized Than Bitcoin and Ethereum, https://news.bitcoin.com/ripple-believes-its-cryptocurrency-is-more-decentralized-than-bitcoin/

You have a reason why you have to sell it, the condition of cryptocurrency is currently less profitable because the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum is still at a cheap price, I think investors still don't have a strong reason to invest anymore, there are many reasons why it happened, the strong reason is because there is no good news for Bitcoin.

Even so, I advise others to hodl altcoin you have, because we have experienced a long hard time and I think in the near future the hard time will end.

Cardano replaces Ethereum?
Cardano is one of the coins that has good potential, but I think the competitor closest to Ethereum is EOS. Even so Ethereum has reacted with these issues by releasing Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is still very popular now with the support of the community and ICO who use the Ethereum network.

If Ethereum 2.0 Project runs smoothly I think it is difficult for competitors to replace Ethereum at this time, we wait until the Ethereum 2.0 project is finished and see what will happen.

It's a valuable lesson, 15 posts per week can make it difficult for us if we think it as work to be done. In this forum we should change our intentions as learning by discussing each other, and it will be easy to make a post. So you will not feel regret if you get unsatisfactory results.

As long as we hear a lot and ask questions, we will be wiser in our actions. So keep learning and working.

EOS is one of Ethereum's current competitors, Ethereum has many disadvantages when compared to EOS from Consesus Mechanism, Transactions Per Second, Transaction Fees.

And then Vitalik Buterin answers all issues with Ethereum 2.0 combining these key projects:

- Proof-of-stake (Beacon Chain, Casper FFG)
- Sharding
- eWASM

If EOS can achieve instant, free and millions of EOS transactions per second, it will be very difficult for Ethereum to match that level of performance. However, if Ethereum can implement ‘Proof of Stake’, ‘Sharding’ and ‘Plasma’ successfully, I think it will be tough for Ethereum alternatives to pass Ethereum.

I think we need a year to determine who will be superior, i hope Ethereum 2.0 can provide a new life for Ethereum.

Actually a lot of coins are good now, if comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum it is clear that Bitcoin still far outperforms Ethereum from market share.It could be that someday Bitcoin falls and there is an altcoin that replaces it or it could happen that the price of Bitcoin reaches a price of "0".

Currently the Ripple is an interesting coin, because when the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum falls the price of Ripple tends to be stable and also rise. We cannot determine who is the best because they have different characteristics. But for now or a decade ahead Bitcoin will still be number one.

If you look at it from a clear market share XRP outperforms Ethereum for now. But actually they have a significant difference from the sector they are focusing on. Ripple focuses on transactional like a Bank and can be used other than banks, with scalability, fees and more.

Unlike Ethereum which has a "smart contract" the Ethereum network is well-known and widely used today. You can compare them from many things. But in reality they are different from one another.
