The Ethereum (ETH) core group of developers met on the 6th, last week, to coordinate the hardfork coming to ETH on the 16th of this month. The meeting was to make sure that all ETH clients upgrade their software in unison on the 16th. The hardfork will make the network faster, enable greater privacy and lower fees. This is part of the Metropolis roll out.
Ethereum will continue to grow with it's global Network effect and continue to be one of the top 5 crypto currency platforms. ETH is a good long term hold. There is no question it will rise above $400.00 and someday hit $1000.00. The growth of ETH and the core developers is strong. The platform has great support and most of the ICO's are based on the platform.
Does ETH ever run into problems? Yes, of course. Problems and innovation to solve such problems is always needed. After all this is a brand new FinTech industry. Just ask yourself this, has the internet undergone changes and improvements since 1992? Of course it has. Crypto currencies and the blockchain are no different. In 10 years from now, everyone will be using crypto currencies and most likely 90% of all global commerce will be on the blockchain.
Now is the time to be an early adopter of crypto currencies and platforms like Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), ZCash (ZEC), OmiseGO (OMG), NEO and more. Time is on our side. The more the FinTech industry matures, the more value it brings and will become. If we have patience and invest in solid crypto's we will have a bright, sound and wealthy future.
