The Ethereum (ETH) thread

@Genghis Khan: many thanks for the long answer, much appreciated! I agree with you that this is only the beginning, probably in the future there won't even be a need to open your wallet and send money by yourself but it will be executed automatically within the dapp. And great example for Plasma, it looks like the ETH version of Lightening Network and it could be a good solution for the dapps. In that case the only issue may be the prevention of the spam attacks in the blockchain.
About the global reserves of the countries, I wouldn't be that positive at least on the medium term although...

Gengis Khan, I read many interesting posts from you about ETH, but please allow me to make a small analysis about one of the weak points in the whole idea of dapps on the Eth platform. What do you think of this article?

I have been analyzing the "dapp business" for a while but still I cannot understand how ethereum is going to deal with the monetization issue (not mentioning the issue of fluctuating price that also bitcoin has). Any opinion?
It's a valid criticism.

Imagine a decentralized eBay. A bidder has to pay a gas fee to the blockchain every time they place a new bid. How many people would be willing to do that once? But wait, now they’re outbid. Want to place another bid? Pay another gas fee. As research has shown, the pain of a loss is harder to stomach than the joy of a gain. The desire to bid again is less and less each time.
Judging from my experience using IDEX (current top eth-based DEX) it is not necessary to pay gas fees every time you set and cancel an order, you only need to 'sign' the order to authorize the completion of the transaction in case your offer is accepted, which does not actually cost any gas.

Ether is miles away from sharing. Vitalitk has been smart in trying to steal the first mover advantage image regarding sharding, but Zilliqa is going to have a superior form of sharding already set up my Q3. Ether should really look to partner with them, and there are rumours this is in the works.

I think ethereum is moving in the right direction but I'm skeptical whether corporations or governments will ever use it. It's more likely that something like EOS would be more of what they would want because it's a ton more controllable by governments and it has high throughput. Despite eos being a shittier version of a Centralised database it will probably get more adoption.

How far is LOOM away from mainnet? Because Augur is launching on July 7th. If that hits it big it would be good for ethereum adoption

I think Ethereum is a buy atm. It is very cheap and considering the amount of people building on it, it looks like $458 is a very cheap price for that

I wouldn't bother with the usual fud from a bunch of jew-owned investment bankers whose daily job is to spread doom and gloom about crypto to keep your goy money into (((their))) centralized established banks.
it's the usual story over and over again.

ETH is the worst underperformer and most actually used crypto in the market.

You shouldn't be surprised ETH or any coin is doing bad. This market is manipulated more than any other, its a gamble. They all follow BTC and thats controlled by the whales.
