It is also by far the most used blockchain. Without ETH, crypto wouldn't exist like it does today, it's at the center of blockchain technology.
The fact that each ETH isn't valued at $10k each baffles me. It's the most underrated asset that could possibly exist.
And now that ETH2's coming out, its true value will start to shine... Perhaps it will shine a little too bright for some of you.
nice, just bought 100k
Agreed, planned on staying all in eth for the next few months
you wish
I would argue to stay longer than simply a few months, gains are to be made all year in 2021. Personally I'm sitting on it for a few years
If I invest say $5k in ETH, what are the odds of me losing a chunk of that instead of breaking even? Should I wait for it to dip first?
I don't even know where to begin with investing, and all I see are contradictory posts. I don't know who's a shill or troll and who's legit.
oh shit ok your new, please don't listen to any posts here, Zig Forums is different than other boards in the sense that it's heavily infected by scammers. Do you own research outside of Zig Forums for the love of God. Don't stay here.
Also, yes you should buy ETH as soon as possible, nobody knows if it will dip or not, but it will gain in value long term for sure. Don't take my word for it, simply look into it yourself.
I'm serious by the way, people here have evil intentions. For your own good don't listen to people here.
Yeah i know I'm an easy mark. I know shit about crypto other than if I bought over 10 years ago I'd be chilling on a beach somewhere now instead of working a comfortable but soul draining civil service job.
What's a good resource to start? What are good key words/news that indicate something might be the next bitcoin when I'm doing research?
Just buy ETH dude. It's one of the safest bets possible right now. The nigs you have to look out for are the ones shilling low-cap shitcoins, not something like ETH with already billions behind it.
I saw one thread for 0chain that looked like it was backed by big tech companies like Oracle rather than just some user saying 0CHAIN HATERS ON SUICIDE WATCH or whatever.
>comfortable but soul draining civil service job.
that's nice user. I'm considering working as an engineer for Canada's gov. I really yearn for a good work-life balance since I have a lot of side projects I want to work on.
What's your government? Do you really dislike your job that much?
>What's a good resource to start?
Follow some kind crypto news. You could follow notable people on twitter, such as Vitalik Buterin. (google him)
>What are good key words/news that indicate something might be the next bitcoin when I'm doing research?
There are none. Don't let people convince you otherwise, they are scammers. Simply follow the tech and come with your own conclusions, you can do it.
And as the other user said, buy ETH but I don't want to contradict myself you seriously shouldn't listen to anyone here.
>There are none
I know that's not a nice answer to hear, but it's true. If it was as easy as following some key words or indication then everyone would be rich.
Rarely take advice from biz dude. Everyone here just tries to get you to buy flavour of the month shitcoins OR actual scams that rugpull.
Invest at your own risk. And the only way to make money is to risk money. Anything could happen. Invest what you can afford to lose, and don’t panic sell.
There, that’s the best advice you’re gonna get.
Well like for 0chain does it mean anything if Oracle or Amazon's backing it in some way? But I'll drop $5k on ETH I guess. Any possibility I'll be able to retire off that or am I going to have to hit a couple paydays for that to happen?
Honestly my main goal is to fuck off to parts unknown and roam around the world while it goes to shit so I have some sort of freedom. The world's getting dystopian as fuck super fast. Getting the rona doesn't scare me; draconian government responses and people acquiescing to it does. Even if it is necessary.
Meh. Bullish ETH price action is 5x more bullish for Fuse. Prove me wrong.
>flavor of the month shitcoin
Ngmi. When will Zig Forums ever learn.
>Any possibility I'll be able to retire off that
with $5k only? ETH would need worldwide adoption, like, internet-level adoption. Which isn't impossible, of course. But don't expect to be an overnight millionaire.
>Well like for 0chain does it mean anything if Oracle or Amazon's backing it in some way?
every shitcoin has some big company """""""""""partnership"""""""""""", at this point it means nothing. "Partnership" and "adoption" are 99% of the time memes designed to make you buy into the scam.
also please answer me user! about your job.
someone bump

50/50 BTC and ETH
that's a pajeet shiller. lurk moar and you will be able to identify them. do not invest, you will get rugged.
crypto is volatile as fuck unless your an actual insider or are really autistic then you basically know as much as the rest of us and thats jack shit.
ETH id say is the part of the holy trinity so its a safe bet at the very least. Only way you can lose half is if ETH2.0 legit fails and you dont ride the bottom out.
Some ancedotal information. I invested 5K into chainlink at $4 dollars based off memes, trips and gets. You have to risk it to play the game and win

No you cannot retire off of a $5k investment wtf...
Underrated relative to? It's the biggest coin in the market bar BTC.
Dfinity already killed it anyway.
>gas fees
>scalability
ETH is overpriced
you need 100 ETH at least for this bull run. It'll probably take you a decade to make it with a 5k investment.
good to see a beacon of light amongst this cess pool. Zig Forums is straight up garbage, I still come here because once in a while someone does come along that wants to actually help. 9.99999/10 its all scammers don't listen to a single person on this forum about where to put your money without doing your own research first.
There isn't a "bullrun" until next year at the earliest
What is the point of Ethereum?
This is very funny and I laugh at the unquestioning vapidity of people who say "smart contract" and just let other people fill in the details as to what that should mean and what the value should be. The mistake here is that "smart" is a misnomer. A contract, as we have known them for many hundreds of years, is already smart because it can often require the work of a solicitor or barrister to argue for or against the individual clauses of a contract; contract wording requires interpretation and that can require some of the highest order thinking. It is therefore smart.
A contract on Ethereum, then, isn't smart. It is a dumb contract. It is dumb in the sense that it executes itself, whether it has been audited and validated or not. And for that reason, you get fraud, after hack, after loss, after gimmick, after scam and essentially fuck all in-between.
And for what reason would anybody need to run computer programs in a decentralised way? What the fuck is the point? I can understand a currency being decentralised; that is completely intuitive and innovative, but running programs is useless as it is so insanely inefficient. Anything you could run on Ethereum you can run on AWS and it will be cheaper, faster and more secure, therefore resolving the trilema and revealing Ethereum to be completely and I mean COMPLETELY redundant. Just because something can work doesn't mean it has value, much like a kettle connected to a dynamo on an exercise bike would work. Ethereum is a fucking joke.
